Touhou Accomplishments the Fourth

[Jaimers]

Oh hey, I can copy Kefit too.

This is definitely my favourite card in the series. 
 
Edit: My first ever Youtube video.
Sweet! 

[Zengeku]

Okay. Its official. Baity have just become the Irate Gamer of Kefit's incredible talent.

Anyway... i'm a bit of a copycat too so i went for Mystic Square extra a bit and captured Alice's two final attacks after seeing Donut's vid about it. Took 4 attempts each.

The Wind attack (i suppose it is) i managed to dodge standing in the bottom-middle of the screen. That takes a lot of micrododging. Maybe i should have redirected it to the sides...

And her final attack i'm very happy to have done with now because my eyes would probably had melted if i had to try once more.

In a fit of masochism, I watched the world record run of SA. Standard reactions, like "ah ha ha you can do that?", "wow this guy has even less of a life than I do," "WTF you just got 800 million points from one attack," etc. But when I saw the guy do Possessed Fairy, clearly an unprofitable attack, I noticed his strategy: Take a few pot shots at Orin before the fairies wake up, go above her, lure the fairies there, then go back down and take Orin down.

So I tried it myself to see if it was just an illusion of ease.

...

I'M A GENIUS.

...I thought that was how everyone did that card. :V

That's how I've tried it on Lunatic, but one fairy always broke off and went straight into my face :V

[LHCling]

"wow this guy has even less of a life than I do,"

I fear asking what you think of other certain players.

Oh hey, another 1 death "Catwalk" timeout. This time, with (undefined)% more food poisoning. I should start administering relief some time soon. Guess I'll be using this Wonder Drug...

[nintendonut888]

I think I know what my problem has been with BoWaP all this time: I don't pay attention to my hitbox enough. While other people seem to be at this wall of only being able to pay attention to what's immediately around their loli, I ironically can't pay attention to my loli exactly. I've tried, and my eyes always snap back to the area around me instead of me myself. The thing is that BoWaP loves to clip death me with its way of moving, and the only way to prevent this is to look right at where I am.

But I still captured it.

The exact same thing happened to me with Radiant Treasure Gun back during that spell card capture rush. After about 20 attempts I realised that I wasn't even really looking at the bullets I was dying to, so I decided on the next attempt to stare right at the hitbox. I captured it on my first attempt like that. :V

[lmagus]

PCB Hard 1cc!

That's 4 Hard games 1cc'd!

Next on my list.. SA :V

I don't think I'm ready for this ._.

BTW I got to Yuyuko with 5 lives/1 bomb.. Finished 0/1... That was my worst Yuyuko battle ever! At least I got there with enough resources to guarantee the victory :V

TAKE THAT FINAL BOSS CURSE :V

[Lybydose]

IN Lunatic 1cc (with default lives).  First Lunatic 1cc in any game!  Reached Kaguya at 4/1 and pretty much threw a bomb at almost everything, just because I could.

...I still can't beat UFO Hard though.  It's the only windows game I have significant problems with on Hard.

[Sapz]

IN Lunatic 1cc (with default lives).  First Lunatic 1cc in any game!

...now if I could only get past Stage 5 of UFO Hard.

Capturing Hourai Jewel on your 1cc run

* Sapz shoots Lybydose and then shoots himself

[LHCling]

You people and your Border Team shenanigans. Try it with a different team that is not Youmu solo and then we'll talk  :V

* Baity goes to 1cc UFO Lunatic with a non-SanaeB team

Fine I'll do it with Nether Team sometime later this week.  I was originally trying it with them because Yuyuko makes the stage portions really easy (and that's what I was sucking at).

Don't blame me. My 1CCs of IN have always been with Youmu/Yuyuko. =V ignore that nobody seems to count IN 1CCs as an accomplishment for some dumb reason.

[LHCling]

You can if you want. I'm just more or less ranting about the overall survivability potential of all Reimu-related teams.

[nintendonut888]

I'd use someone else if it weren't for the fact that I think everyone else is completely useless in my eyes. :V

[LHCling]

I just went from 3 spare lives to 6 spare lives just from the Stage 4 stage portion alone. I was pretty reluctant to bomb / died at random places too. This should be an easy 1cc now.

This run is hilarious in the sense that I bombspam because I lost control, failed lol-easy Spell Card, ROYALLY mess up Stage 5, and still make it to Stage 6 (which I have not practiced with this shot type at all) 2/0.

It won't even beat my current High Score.

That's how pathetic this run is.

[Esoterica]

Did I just hear you call Remi useless? >:c

[LHCling]

Derp.

EDIT: I'm curious. Anybody want to mark it as TAS for me? I want to see what happens. I'd do it myself, but me marking my own replays as being TAS is pretty damn weird.

[nintendonut888]

I'm honestly curious to see if it'd work, but it probably wouldn't help if I did it.

Speaking of which, I've been thinking about this whole subject of my 1cc being marked as a TAS. Hal said that him and other players thought that my movements were illogical, and it didn't look like something that would be done without slowdown...But isn't that something completely subjective? Could my erratic movements possibly be because...I had reached stage 5 with like 7 lives in stock on my first try? Nervousness? Could I simply have lucky dodging skills? I just think it's rather silly to judge stuff like that. Next thing you know I'm going to be marked as tool assisted because "I don't think you could death bomb that consistently," or "hey WTF I can't capture that spell card how did you do that obvious TAS"

I dunno, I just think it's dumb.

[Lybydose]

Now we play the waiting game.

First problem is Hal himself watching it. Here's a list; it's too hard to gauge his expertise. It's safe to assume that he knows a bit, but he certainly doesn't know the finer points (paraphrased from your log). Doesn't help that he basically went :effort:. It also doesn't help again knowing that the Moderation Team is basically unknown, save for being able to "play at the Lunatic level frequently" (or something along those lines). I have a feeling I know who a few (1-2) of the people are, but I'm not going to name names for obvious reasons.

It should be noted that you've had more time to prepare for the 1cc (lots of Stage 6 practice for you; you've no 1 bombed deathed it, you can cap the final Spell Card consistently, etc.), which naturally means that you'll fare better than most other people (where appropriate).

Could my erratic movements possibly be because...I had reached stage 5 with like 7 lives in stock on my first try? Nervousness? Could I simply have lucky dodging skills?

Your run had much better "resource management" than the replay that I uploaded recently. Honestly, I would be very surprised if my replay makes it through without being CHEESE'd. Watch through it (speed through) and you'll see why.

Also, you can't call somebody out for insane reaction times when deathbombing. Unless it's something like consistent perfect deathbombing in IN.

I just accidentally discovered a new combo for Tenshi.



No control rods used.

Ironically, Border of Life was the stage music when I discovered this :V

[Formless God]

O_o. Tenshi can deal REAL SOVIET DAMAGE nao ?

[LHCling]

2 Death TIMEOUT of "Cheeto Lasers". Rank doesn't affect it at all. No matter how many times I try this attack, it's always so fun to dodge. And the method is so simple as well.

Both deaths were near the end and within 4 seconds of each other.

Now it's a 1 Death timeout.

[Esoterica]

O_o. Tenshi can deal REAL SOVIET DAMAGE nao ?

That combo is valid for SWR as well, actually.

But on the note of absurd damage, I found that a.214C (Sphere Broom) j214C j214C j2A a.421C (grab) does over 7000 with Yuyuko and works both in the corner and fullscreen.  Oh, and it guardcrushes part way through the second 214 if you block.

:/

[theshirn]

And the method is so simple as well.

Elaborate.  I think I know how to do it, and I just always do it wrong, but it's possible I'm completely off again.

[LHCling]

Video'ing.

The problem is, I normally make some stupid mistake somewhere preventing me from getting a perfect timeout. I'd rather not upload a video with a mistake in it.

[Esoterica]

After seeing that guy in that vid try to pass off 11k as REAL SOVIET DAMAGE I couldn't help but see what I could pull off with control rods thrown into the mix.



Could've done more, but I couldn't figure out a way to make the combo not end the round without either "State of Enlightenment" or "Missing Purple Power",  which = more defense.

[Cyclone]

I've been working on breaking 1 billion points with Reimu B in PCB for a while now. After grabbing the v-sync patch, i do it with Marisa A. I still can't do it with Reimu
