Touhou RAGE Thread

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

That's the nice thing about Easy Mode Earth Light Ray - nothing is aimed directly at you, so you can just hold and look for any encroaching lasers.

Today's rage moment: Why can't I cap the 3-4 o'clock series?!  Why do I keep not moving far enough?!

And before you ask, I am aware that the blues are aimed away from your position when the wave starts up.

[Vile Lasagna]

Speaking of Earth Light Ray, am I the only one to think that the normal version of that card is the worst one?

No. Earth Light Ray Easy is pathetically easy (as is everything else in IN Easy), whereas Shoot the Moon on Hard/Lunatic is basically laser streaming.

Basically, what the hell was ZUN drinking?

[LHCling]

Perfect Mima Battle in tHRtP. After ONE continue.

wtf.

[Vile Lasagna]

Earth Light Ray Easy

That one doesn't count. But what I mean is that the "star walls" Marisa shoots at you on Normal make it way harder than the silly streams on hard and lunatic.

Just now I tried no focus timing out Asteroid Belt since it looks like all of the cool kids have done it.

I ran into a big star at 00 seconds left.

Meh.

Edit: LOL MANAGED TO DO IT AGAIN

Edit 2: Died at 1 second left, fuck this game. I'll get this the next time I play Touhou... probably a month from now -_-

[LHCling]

More tHRtP! While doing my assignment too no doubt!

Anyway, there are times when you can get the Yin-Yang Orb to align perfectly straight. I was hammering the Ofuda button to repel the Yin-Yang Orb in the opposite direction (via walling it off). The Orb just happened to be directly in the center of the trajectory at the point of first impact, and kept being bounced off the ceiling. It got a tremendous increase in its velocity. Half a second after I realized, the Orb flew down at me faster than the Ofuda wall was holding it back.

;_;

Take it easy! Most of us can't even get that close.

I'm a man with little time who likes quick results

Also, when I said that I wouldn't play Touhou for another month, that isn't due to rage induced reasons. Rather, I just lack a lot of free time for gaming. Besides, who could ever hate Touhou?

Hehe. I'm also finding myself (recently >_>) with a lack of free time. I'm expecting myself to get results slowly, thanks to my very unstable controlling (i.e. clip).

Also...

Overall not that difficult. Definitely harder than Hard / Lunatic (in terms of method). I see a few options for this card.

1. Move a bit closer to Marisa (2nd replay), and dodge from there. Remember not to move until the right time. (the pattern is 2-4-2-4-2-4-2...) The 2-wave shot is aimed "at you", but never will hit you unless you move into it. The 4-wave is aimed at you (with your hitbox in trajectory), and you can stream it by moving to the side after the fourth shot. By standing close, it is possible to stay centered.

1.5. Alternatively, you can try the more riskier method and streaming inside the stars from the 4-wave. I've done it before. But the "Earth Lasers" have a chance of hitting you.

2. Move around the screen. After the 4-wave shot, move as far from it as possible, and "stream" the 4-wave shot again in the reverse direction. Weaving through the 2-wave shot at Normal should be trivial.

However, since the "Earth Lasers" are completely off-sync with the 2-4-2 waves, you may have to improvise. The 1st replay demonstrates a combination of 1. and 2.

Spell Card Theory is awesome.

I actually know a guy on GameFAQs who hates Touhou and especially the music, and he considers it the worst music he's ever heard.

Consider that my Touhou rage.

[Naut]

Where does he live, I would like to pay the man a visit.

[Generalguy]

Just to make sure, he's talking about WAV right? Not MIDI or some weird remixes right? Because I don't like most of the latter either.

[nintendonut888]

No, he hates the regular music.

Anyway, I finally added a Touhou fan. A friend of mine and his sister are now addicted to EoSD easy and I just told him how to focus. I decided to play on a computer EoSD stage 6 lunatic to impress him. For some reason, it wouldn't play it full screen, so I had to play lunatic...

Windowed...

...

NEVER. AGAIN. It...did not go well. How did I ever 1cc LLS lunatic or beat SoEW extra windowed? It's horrible, the gaps are tiny.

Stuff like this reminds me why I must always depreciate my skills.

[Darkblizer]

Ugh, I hate EoSD so much.

Cirno is just either

AIMED SHOTGUN BLASTS

or

SHIT FLYING EVERYWHERE*

and China's colorful rain and color typhoon are just RAGE because you think you're in the clear then a bullet turns around and smashes you in the face. And if you forget on that one noncard somehow extra bullets aimed perfectly at you fire even AFTER you clear the card, you end up dieing if you're not careful of that.

Patch with anyone aside from Reimu A is argh

Reimu A is the person I always die on cirno or china with

and I have nothing on Sakuya or Remillia, really

Seriously, I'm changing to another game, this is just mad.

*talking about PERFECT FREEZE *COUGH* where if you're not careful a bulelt flies into your face and you die.

I think ZUN should remake EoSD or something.

[Kanako Yasaka]

I hate fullscreen. :\

Reminds me of a comment on Youtube, on Nazrin's theme.  Something about it being "just noise".  I think the last I checked it was at -22 or so. 

[theshirn]

Double post for great justice.

Damnit, damnit, DAMN IT!

1 death on VoWG!  ONE!  AND IT WAS A STUPID ONE!  It was an easily avoidable edge of a teal line which I moved a tiny bit too far when dodging the accompanying red!  And she was below 1/4 of her health!

I just ran it a half dozen times, and I was on fire!  I kept making all those almost impossible dodges (I blame watching Kefit's video of the timeout) that used to kill me, and I'm almost 100% sure, if I had not died, that would have been the capture!  ARRRRRRRRRGH!

[SP]

85 tries left on Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana until I lose to that random Japanese guy  I'm getting fairly close though...

[Azinth]

Wow. 

I don't know if you guys are aware, but... Lunatic Orin is difficult.  I just thought y'all should know that.

i.e. OH GOD CATWALK

[Vile Lasagna]

I don't know if you guys are aware, but... Lunatic Orin is difficult.  I just thought y'all should know that.

A normal Orin is fine too... Oh wait, she is ANYTHING but fine! I.. ah... I'm gonna play something that's NOT SA for a while now...

[bjw]

talking about PERFECT FREEZE *COUGH* where if you're not careful a bulelt flies into your face and you die.

Because no other card is like that.

[Kanako Yasaka]

Ran is THE most annoying extra boss out there. I can't count the number of stupid deaths that I have gotten while fighting her.

Also, no matter how well I do against her, I can't ever get past Chen. I don't understand that spellcard at all.

[Herasy]

Back from an absolute FAILURE Normal 1cc good ending run of IN.

When the hell did this touhou get so HARD!? I swear the patterns get so dense right at the start!

The difficulty jump from Easy to Normal is just plain STUPID, if I can go through easy at 3 in the morning with 1 or 2 deaths yet not even beat the bad ending (Eirin final, I don't know why I call it the bad ending, its more an alternate ending) of normal something is seriously wrong.

I swear Marisa just made me want to burn her at the stake so hard...if only she wasn't so lovable.

Oh and I'm also doing this with the most (in my own opinion) powerful pairing: Border Team. Yet that doesn't seem to be helping at all.

EDIT: I was also not obtaining the time bonuses at the end of each stage (except the first one I think) but that's probably because I haven't played IN in quite some time.

[Arcengal]

Why can't I capture Frost Columns - Lunatic?
Seriously.
I time it out EVERY. TIME.

What character do you use and how much power do you go into it with? o_o
I usually get it comfortably, with 32+ power and Reimu A.

My rage for the day: as I get better at certain sections of the games, I become more confident, and less careful, therefore dying more often

28-ish power with Reimu B.

Also I have come up with a new joke after two hours of SA extra rage:

Yo momma is SO FAT, she's bigger than Marisa's hitbox.

Have you tried just staying in the middle...?  I remember I used to almost time it out with Reimu B because I kept following her and trying to stay underneath her, only to get blocked off by the columns.  She always returns to the middle after every other wave, so if you just stay there and tap to dodge the columns, you can kill it fairly quickly.

[LHCling]

/forefeit VoWG Lunatic  >_>

It's out of my ability at this point. I can't read the waves fast enough.

I'm going to rage at something different now. Maybe LLS. 1st Hard Mode playthrough underway.

...why do I find Marisa so hard to beat? Either way, dead at last pattern.......... of stage 6. It'd be nice if I didn't die 4 times with bombs in stock for Marisa.
