IN is arguably the easiest of the series.

I still stand for PCB though. Got my first good ending there recently. But yeah, man. SA is quite BS when compared to... everything before it u.u. PCB and IN are probably your best bets as to where you'll find your first 1CC

No matter what I do I can't beat MoF because no other spellcard than Mountain of Faith. I even lost all 3 lives once to Game Over.

I actually disagree. The easiest to 1cc is probably MoF. PCB stage 5 and 6 can be quite bullshit, especially some of yuyuko's attacks. You really just have to know how to do them. IN, maybe, but again, the spell cards are bullshit. In MoF, you have a lot more chances to bombs for each life because it's only dependent on your power, and for the majority, each spell card is dodging based, not memorization. VoWG is also incredibly easy on Normal because there are never any walls.

LLS is easily the easiest to 1cc. Normal mode is comparable to other game's easy mode.

What? PCB is harder than EOSD for 1CC Normal.

The second half of MoF is quite hard actually. Aya's stage is on par with Orin's, Sanae is no walk in the park and Kanako will make you puke until you lose all your willpower.
Can't deny much on youmu but Yuyuko is not THAT hard, she's the last boss so she needs to have standards at the least. But even then you have borders to help you and, particularly if you play Sakuya, lots of bombs to help you carry on through.

I still feel that EoSD is harder than PCB but I think it'll be the next one I'll get. I just need endless sessions of with Sakuya and Remi (and some less endless sessions not to day every time patty fires her lasers)

Aya's stage might be a bit tricky, but it's relatively simple dodging, doesn't compare to Orin.
Sanae is, on the contrary, quite simple. There are only two spell cards that might give people a problem and those are easily bombed, and power is easily restored by the next stage.
Kanako is a little bit hard, but she's nothing compared to Yuyuko. Yuyuko's cards home on you in the weirdest directions possible, making a few missteps trap you completely.

But I guess we all play differently.

I actually got farthest in SA than I did in any of the others on a good day. <_<

Maybe with the exception of finally beating Yuyuko just to have my butt handed to me by her again immediately afterwords. <_<

theshirn · « **Reply #308 on:** May 17, 2009, 02:13:48 AM »

Uhhh...PCB and EoSD took me a couple months to 1cc Normal when I first started playing.

IN took me two tries.

If you're trying to 1cc a game, go with IN.

I know that's going to happen to me with freaking Kinkaku-ji when I finally freaking capture it.

Edit: I captured it. It didn't happen.

Isn't it sad, donut? ;_;

~~Maybe it's finally time you got into scoring-theory. For at least one game.~~

Either way...

MoF Extra with ReimuA. I had an awesome run going. All Spell Cards captured to a certain point. Even a good stage run to boot (~620k Faith). Even made it to the PoC after Native God "Froggy Braves the Elements", back down and through that (survived the green amulets without bombing / dying!). Then came "Suwa War - Native Myth vs Central Myth" . One. Two. Three.

Three deaths. By this stage, I was quite pissed, and finished off the run with ~620mil. Captured the last Spell Card as well if you're wondering.

Heartbeam · « **Reply #313 on:** May 17, 2009, 03:49:25 PM »

Disheartening moment. Originally a scoring run for SA Hard but I soon realized I never memorized the safespot for Yugi's lasers, so it turned into a no-bomb run. No-miss up until the streaming section after stage five midboss Orin because I gapped too far up the screen, followed by another silly early miss on Small Demon's Revival. Still a great chance for a max lives clear until I score three. Whole. Misses. On Giga Flare.

Watching it again and again I can't think of when I'd have a moment to quit worrying about the bottom, look up the screen and think, 'maybe this section over here is about to wall me in'. To balance it off at least DBDB and Nuclear Excursion were merciful, but oh the potential for so much more. Still, it beats my old no-bomb run ending with a single life.

Before I changed my mind about the nature of the run I did miss out on the large fairy at the beginning. The thought process likely went as, 'if I get picky this early then the next half-hour will be spent on retries'.

SONIC BHOCOLATE STRIKER · « **Reply #314 on:** May 17, 2009, 11:22:44 PM »

It's not touhou but...

Samidare. I had the best run I had ever made and fell apart at the end of the second boss fight. You know, the laser pattern. I lost all 3 lives within one minute of losing the first. I saved a replay but MAN I was mad. I ruined the best run I had ever made. <_<

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #315 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:03:41 AM »

The problem was that I mistimed one of my shots and took it before she kicked all those bullets, making it a very low-scoring shot.

It happens. I was just (at best) making a small joke >_>

Another one for today!

VoWG Hard timeout failed at 45 seconds.

SA Stage 1. Do I need to go into any detail?

Stupid stage shouldn't be a stage 1...

SONIC BHOCOLATE STRIKER · « **Reply #318 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:02:23 PM »

I'm OK with stage 1. But I still suck at Parsee.

Zengeku · « **Reply #319 on:** May 18, 2009, 04:34:40 PM »

Damn you Sanae. I cap your second spell all the time. Then what happens when i try to time it out? Constant death!!!! Annoying. Well, i'll get it later. I might just be sucking.

Vile Lasagna · « **Reply #320 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:08:44 PM »

Took me a while to get the hang of parsee. Tip tiems:

Grandpa Hanasaka: Try to stay under her, passing through gaps in the flowers. It it looks to BS, run away. It's not the hardest spell to time out even though you don't want to.

Jealous of the... F this, next spell: Do NOT shoot the parsee who shoots big balls. She will kill you if you do so (basically)

Last spell: Funny enough, this one is not that difficult. I remember that when I zapped through it on easy, hugging the bottom helped. I don't usually do it on normal so I won't be able to tell you if that works there.

Zengeku · « **Reply #321 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:20:14 PM »

Aww... poor little Reimu got a bullet in her stomach at the same split-second she dealt the finishing blow to Eternal Meek Lunatic. Come. Let's leave, Reimu. Nobody likes to play with stupid, evil, housemaids! Let's go pick on Cirno instead.

What difficulty?

Ehmm... about the final spellcard

On easy mode: Just side-step and bullets won't even be an issue.
On normal mode: Just side-step here too but you will need to get further to the left and right because her bullets come a little lower at this difficulty. Some knowledge of the hit-box is also required but that goes for many a spell so i'm an idiot for mentioning that.
On hard mode: Just make quick dashes to the left and right to get the aimed streams away from you and focus on dodging the few blue bullets that come around you.
On lunatic mode: There is little difference between hard and lunatic mode with this one as far as i reckon except the lunatic version goes a bit faster and the bullets are much more dense and can therefore screw you over if you don't make those dashes to the right and left probably. Its really easy on all difficulties so my lunatic cap-rate is pretty embarassing. 5/15.

Also Jelousy for the Humble and Rich is pathetically easy on almost all difficulties. On lunatic it has a potential for screwing you over because the bullets you have to move in between are very dense but on any other difficulty they are pretty far from each other providing you enormous gaps for you to fit through. Now the only issue is just to make sure not to shoot the wrong girl. The difference is obvious. If anyone who might be in doubt reads this post, the girl you want to shoot is the one that fires the small bullets.

Hollow Giant "Woo" utterly refuses to let me ever capture it again.

That card used to be a BYE for me, and now I just kept getting hit by 100mph bullets from nowhere.

Freaking Patchcouli!

I'm usually able to handle her without hassle, but for some reason she's been a real bitch lately.

I've been trying to 1cc Normal with ReimuA, and she probably has the easiest time on Patchcouli, but noooo it has to become Murphy's Law the second I get to Stage 4.

I seem to side-step right into bullets for no apparent reason, waste bombs when I panic about something really easy dodge, and just generally lose a ton of lives. Then Patchcouli comes, who I usually have a pretty easy time with.

Not anymore apparently. I can't seem to do Non-Directional Lasers anymore (where I could do it perfectly before) and I ram right into Agni Shine's and Lava Cromlech's fireballs.

Seriously, wtf Patchy.

LHCling · « **Reply #325 on:** May 19, 2009, 07:42:18 AM »

"Hell's Artificial Sun" Normal attempted timeout #2 or #3; I forget.

2 seconds left. Unfocused, moved, and hit a red bullet [not snowball] (border breaks). Insert rage moment, followed by colliding into the sun as the card was dissipating. I am going to try this again once I get back from prac.

<_<

EDIT: That endphase is the worst. Bugged gravitational pull ftw.

Arcengal · « **Reply #326 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:18:54 PM »

I lost my mind for a bit and tried MoF lunatic. Got to stage 4, continued a half dozen times (PEERLESS. ****ING. WIND GOD.) then selected "quit" by accident.

Mokou's "Rings of Death" (is that what they're called by people?) cleared with Yuyuko with 1 (death)bomb.

And also, when Hourai Doll was clearing... >_>

On the plus side, I cleared the fairy at the end perfectly! Yay!

Today, for some reason, I could not pass stage 1 lunatic of SA.
