FINALLY, I DID IT. PODD LUNATIC 1CC!

I never imagined myself doing this back when I started, infact I thought that I would never get any game on Lunatic (heck, back then I was having trouble to 1cc DDC Normal... with SakuyaA...). But here I am, not only managed to clear some games in Lunatic, but today I did it on the "hardest" one! I'm really happy with this one

.

Granted, I used the easiest character (Yumemi), but it's still a Lunatic 1cc.

UFO Next, hopefully.

Finally sat down and worked on SA's Extra stage long enough to clear it. Subterranean Rose ended a few runs, but this time, I got there with 2 extra lives, which was enough to finish it off.

Phantasm Clear

After a few months break from Touhou, I randomly got this. Captured 0 of Yukari's spellcards, still finished with 2 lives. No idea why I used to have difficulty with it, lol

SA Normal Stage 6 Perfect

Only Normal mode, but it's nice to finally get everything right after playing the stage for fun so often. Utsuho's first spell card went a lot more smoothly after I figured out how to lead the suns so I wouldn't have to move over to the corners and read the blue bullets at steep angles.

got a blind 1 cc on pofv. Shikeki was basically impossible on first try, second time i think the match literally lasted a minute and i won. this game is weird but it has been fun from what i have played so far. very fun.

Dang, a blind 1cc? Congrats!

Also, I finally got past "Phoenix Tail" in IN, so there's that.

You were experiencing the AI rank. Your opponent is easier each time you lose to them.

Took way too long, finally 1cc'd IN on Normal, marking my first ever 1cc. I nearly managed to 1cc Hard before Normal, as I had made it to 6B on Hard, before dying to Eirin's spell card (didn't know what it did at the time). Still, hopefully I can start 1cc'ing other games soon. My next target is probably going to be PCB, but we'll see.

Alright, I don't know if this is up to the standards of some (Most, in fact) other achievements on this very same thread, but for me personally it is quite an accomplishment!:

And right after that!....

YES!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY did complete the entire game with NO ITEMS!!!!

(I didn't hovered over the final secret achievement for spoiler purposes... although its not like you cant check it out in the wikia or something lol)

Well, that was cool!

I really didn't though I would be able to do this at first...but I have to say, I am glad I decided to, this game was VERY entertaining! Trying to discover how to do all scenes itemless was quite the blast! (Except for 5-2. Once again, SCREW YOU BULL**** SCENE) and (Obviously, at least for me) quite a challenge, and I love challenges!

I took me 60ish hour of gameplay to do it... which is nowhere near close to some veterans (And some people on this very same forum, I am sure) who can do it in 15 hours or something like that LOL but I am honestly happy with this anyway!

So, that was it. Now that theres literally no reason at all to go back to this game (Except scoring I guess, but I am not into scoring anyway), its time to go back to the main games... It has been a lot of time since I have played them seriously xD...

FlamingRok · « **Reply #188 on:** November 01, 2014, 02:13:51 AM »

Wow, congratulations, BulletZ. I could never hope to accomplish that kind of task myself, and I respect those who put in much more patience and time into these games than myself. Also, in my opinion, I think that 60hrs is actually rather quick. I know people can obviously do quicker, but it's good to see that you acknowledge that fact, and are still satisfied with your end result.

t_prinny · « **Reply #189 on:** November 01, 2014, 03:28:04 AM »

Might as well mention some things I've done this week before I forget(really only 2 things).

PCB Phantasm 90 FPS
SoEW Normal ReimuA Clear

Made quite a bit of mistakes in both videos. The phantasm run is probably the first successful run I did at 90 fps.

Aeteas · « **Reply #190 on:** November 01, 2014, 09:27:28 AM »

I cleared hard on the UFO boss rush patch. It's nice to know that I can survive most patterns in hard without too much trouble. Though, 2 of my 4 deaths were to Murasa's second nonspell and Shou's second spell, and that's really silly.

Hainiryuun · « **Reply #191 on:** November 02, 2014, 07:27:37 PM »

PoFV Lunatic 1CC with Marisa

Highlights include not getting hit on the first 5 stages and only needing 2 attempts to beat Shiki. Glad to finally get a lunatic 1cc without using a super broken Medicine or Aya.

ILikeBulletZ · « **Reply #192 on:** November 03, 2014, 05:31:06 PM »

Now for something smaller:

Got a SA 1cc Normal with MarisA blind (Blind as in not ever having using Marisa... Not just in this game but in like EVER!).

Only barely, I was on my last life by the very final card!...

Damn, I am so used to slower! Reimu. Plus Marisa has a bigger hitbox... and the shottype doesn't do as much damage as Reimu does, AND it also needs more power points AND ALSO her bomb is short!...

Whats exactly the point of using Marisa again? Her speed is more of a disadvantage to me. I died like 3 times due to not begin used to her insane speed. ALL of the deaths were incredibly stupid... I even lost one in the streaming section of stage 6... That was an spectacular FAIL!!! (That one was 100% my fault though. The rest... well they are also my fault, but because of character differences!)

Don't get me wrong, it was fun to play as someone else other than Reimu, but...What the hell, I am sure Marisa has to do SOMETHING better than Reimu? (Other than More range, which honestly didn't change much how I played).

MarisaA and B can deal a lot of damage quickly with their bombs if you use them point-blank, and MarisaA has (I think) the second easiest Satori fight. Still, SA in particular is really one-sided on which shottypes are good

MrL1193 · « **Reply #194 on:** November 03, 2014, 11:51:13 PM »

Marisa A also gets more bombs as compensation for needing more power, and I believe she deals almost as much damage as Reimu A at a distance if you're good at staying unfocused while directly under the boss. I would consider her to be one of the stronger non-Reimu A shot types in SA.

Marisa B's strength is versatility, of course, but she also has the potential to deal more damage than any other shot type if you can shotgun bosses. If you combine her Wood or Earth shotgun with a point-blank bomb, you can end almost any boss attack very quickly.

Marisa C...Well, her bombs can be useful against Koishi, I guess, and you can get twice as much use out of them if you death bomb. She also has an easier Satori fight, but since Reimu A's Satori is the hardest of the lot anyway, that's not saying much.

Also, perhaps I'm just blind or something, but I swear I never really noticed a speed difference between different shot types in SA (apart from Reimu C unfocused when not firing)...

Yeah, I noticed the Satori fight was rather easy... or at least it should of have been, the 2nd STB card killed me and made me use like 3 bombs... but that was my fault and the fact that I wasn't used to the incredibly short invincible time of MarisA bombs (Most of my deaths were due to that and crashing into bullets because lol high speed).

But yeah I can see how it would be easy with replaying it once or twice.

I only discovered that MarisA works differently and the Focused shot is actually the spread but weaker one and the Unfocused one is the not-spread but stronger one by stage 4... I facepalmed as soon as I actually looked at my shots. LOL. At least I did discovered that by that point, or else maybe I wouldn't even have cleared...

So Marisa B is capable of shotgunning, eh? I will have to give her a try later on then, I love characters capable of doing major damage by taking risks with shotgunning! (One of the reasons my favorite shottype in PCB is Reimu B).

And by the way, I do know that SA isnt exactly the most balanced game when it comes to Shottypes, I went with Marisa fully knowing that I was going to have a harder time than with Reimu A, not just because everyone says ReimuA is BEST SHOTTYPE LOL, but also because, as I said in a previous post, I never have really used Marisa in a serious run before. So her speed + bigger hitbox was also an issue on top of all of the issues related to the shottype...

But it was fun! lol.

Touhou Ikaruga 1cc on the highest difficulty.

Also too many insane things in this thread.

Aeteas · « **Reply #197 on:** November 06, 2014, 09:37:01 PM »

I did a random run of PCB stage 5, and it ended up being a NMNBNBB run. I am rather happy, since it's been on my todo list for quite a long time, but it feels strange to just get the run after having not played the stage for months.

MrL1193 · « **Reply #198 on:** November 07, 2014, 02:31:07 AM »

SA Stage 4 Normal NMNB

...As Marisa B, though, not Reimu A. Double Black Death Butterfly still sucks big time, even on Normal.

Even without that, though, Satori gave me more trouble than I was expecting. I thought Philosopher's Stone was going to be the cause of most of my failures, but Princess Undine quickly proved me wrong. It seems like Satori can just box you in whenever she feels like it, and I'm not very good at dashing through the blue bullet streams.

I have to say, though, I think I'm starting to like Marisa B. She doesn't have homing, but she does a much better job of hitting the boss from any angle than Reimu B does. I've actually got a 50% capture rate with Marisa B for Nuclear Fusion, which beats my Reimu A capture rate by a fair bit.

t_prinny · « **Reply #199 on:** November 07, 2014, 07:07:35 PM »

Mentioning this here before I forget (posted this in the high score thread earlier).

PCB 1 Billion Lunatic (ReimuB)

Managed to pull off a run that scores a billion. I think what I need to work on is generally better survival since this run is filled with mistakes notably in stage 3 and 4. If I plan on scoring higher, I will probably have to learn proper border timings. If you question the music in the video, it was because I was listening to some PoDD music while playing. I decided the replay wouldn't feel complete unless I record it with the PoDD music I was listening to in the background.

Elysia · « **Reply #200 on:** November 10, 2014, 02:42:10 AM »

Riverbed Soul Saver Lunatic 1CC.

During which I capped Yamataizer, Masquereidoscope, and Shangri-La Genesis.

2 lives 2 bombs to spare at the end.

~~also i live and such~~

SA Normal Stage 6 NMNB...with Marisa C

This was a pleasant surprise. I thought I was just doing a quick run of the stage to unwind after a train wreck of a practice session against Nitori's Satori, and somehow, I ended up getting a perfect run with the shot type that's essentially a weaker Reimu A. I even went ahead and captured Utsuho's third spell card without the safe line method this time.

ILikeBulletZ · « **Reply #202 on:** November 14, 2014, 12:09:02 AM »

So I got sick of practicing the stages so much that I actually felt like going for an actual achievement today.

So I decided to boot IN, start a Lunatic game and I effectively 1cc it!

This would be my 2nd Lunatic 1cc! Even though I am pretty sure I could have gotten it weeks earlier if I wanted to, but I just love abusing the Practice Stage option both because I want to practice (duh) and also just because I find Stages 3+ fun to play!

It was a very... crappy run, though. I spammed bombs at everything that was even remotely treating... even attacks I am sure I could probably have done without bombs... but that's how firsts 1cc tend to be, right?

Fun fact: I actually died and uses some bombs on Stage 2. Probably because I didn't practiced it at all! I think I used less resources in Stage 3 than in 2...

That begin said... To all those people who says Kaguya is among the easiest/weakest final bosses: PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS:

Resources at the start of Kaguya?s fight:

But after the fight....

Wut. Just a lone bomb in reserve... were did the other shitload of resources went?! LOL...

Kaguya singlehandly murdered nearly half of the entire game?s resources...She is not really that weak/easy AT ALL. it seems. Or I just sucked more than usuall and had bad luck... probably the latter.

Either way it was a fun challenge. MoF is probably next!

Sakurei · « **Reply #203 on:** November 14, 2014, 12:40:59 AM »

Kaguya is generally agreed upon to be one of the hardest final bosses on lunatic, if not the hardest, in the series. She is also very threatening on normal mode, but she's easy on easy mode. I haven't really played hard mode ever, so I don't know about that difficulty.
Using practice mode is a good thing. A smart idea. Something a lot more people should do, even if they're just going for a clear. Especially if it's a first clear, since people tend to struggle with those more than later clears. And yeah, First 1ccs tend to be very...messy. And there's no reason to feel bad about it. There is always chance to play the game again and do better. Congratulations.

I think that's the one and ONLY scene in the entire game were the RNG can be so bad that it kills you immediately with absolutely NO CHANCE to escape, no matter if you have computer reflexes or something, nothing is stopping Sakuya from just teleporting you into a knife killing you instantly... Its just ridiculous :/

Also...

Ying Yang Orb as a Sub? isn't that item broken or something? I heard it doesn't works (As in, it doesn't actually makes your hitbox smaller)... maybe someone here can clarify?

DDC Semi-blind Easy 1cc (Sakuya A)

I guess this is technically an accomplishment, even though I admit it barely qualifies. "Semi-blind" because my first credit ended in a ragequit on Kagerou when I died with something like 7 bombs in stock. In retrospect I likely still would've gotten the 1cc had I continued. :V

I bought this game when it came out on Playism but only now played it due to a lack of motivation. I did Easy because I suck even on Normal and haven't touched a shmup since...July I think. Overall I still had fun though (except for Seija's fight), which is something I haven't said about a Touhou game in too long. Maybe I should just chill out and play Easy more often...
