Touhou RAGE Thread

[nintendonut888]

I was watching a run of Story of Eastern Wind for kicks, and noticed how the person did the green spam attack I previously thought to be impossible.

Wait, which stage?  ...More to the point of my ego, was it my run!?

Actually, speaking of SoEWind, "Hard" (Actually Lunatic) can go suck monkey eggs.  The bosses aren't even that bad - it's the epic bullcrap outputted by the stages!

...! Yes, indeed it was.

And like I said, stage 3. The green spam where you just stand still mostly is what I meant. I have no idea if that's how it works in Story of Eastern Wonderland, and frankly, even if it were I'd bomb it anyway because of the nature of the game.

[LHCling]

2 clipdeaths on MoF Stage 4 for Normal. 1 was supposed to be a deathbomb, but that didn't go off.

So much for impromptu scoring.

EDIT: MoF Normal > MoF Hard?

What's wrong with my playing today?

[nintendonut888]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

I am so angry right now...I randomly open EoSD stage 6 for another no deaths attempt, I capture Eternal Meek, don't bomb until Vampire Illusion, I have a sure shot of entering Scarlet Meister with three bombs for the first time ever, streaming the bubble bullets, and then...then...

THE FUCKING GAME LAGS FOR A SPLIT SECOND! The timing for these at max rank is already a little tricky...but with that split second of pause my moving to get under Remilia was too early and I crashed right into a bullet!

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! ;_;

And it's because Firefox is open. Yes, it would not have lagged if Firefox won't open. FIREFOX. IS. THE. WORST. BROWSER. EVER.

*kicks a puppy*

Actually, it's because you were running Firefox and Touhou at the same time on a horribly outdated computer.  Get a bloody new one and stop complaining about the best browser out there, it's your computer's fault.

Koishi.  No deaths on the stage, Koishi is perfect until Rorschach in Danmaku (including my second ever capture of Superego), whereupon I bombed twice.  Cap the next noncard and Embers, and the curtain noncard after that.

Genetics kills me and has me bomb twice EACH, I think.  Philosophy kills me twice.  Died on the second phase of Subterranean Rose.  Bloody HELL.

[LHCling]

WTF is this shit.

I had a close-to-perfect (read: 95% perfect) scorerun going, and I die at the end of Stage 4. Then I proceed to end Aya with 2.80 power, bombing her survival Spell Card, and her 2nd one.

Going to finish it off.

EDIT: And Sanae destroys my attempted salvage. After her opener, I just lost concentration.

[RainfallYoshi]

Another day, another 1cc Normal EoSD attempt.

I'm actually doing really well. Make it to Stage 4 with 8 lives and only blow 2 through the stage and Patchcouli. I'm feeling pretty awesome, think I might make it this time.

Nope.

I start to royally fuck up on Stage 5 to the point that I enter Stage 6 with 1 live and no bombs. I'm doing somewhat well before I crash and burn on Curse of Vlad Tepes.

SO CLOSE I COULD TASTE IT!

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

It seems today I am made of massive fail.  IN Normal with Netherworld team.  In my bid to do it limited-focus until Stage 4 (where I only focus to get Power items and kill masters), I bump into bullets that have massive spaces in between them in both Stage 3 and 4.  I eventually pass Stage 5 at 1/3 and go to FinalB.  I gain my last extra life in the beginning, and am forced to deathbomb once due to the horrendous luck I get in fairy positioning.  I deathbomb again during Earth in a Pot because I was just out of the circle.

I won't elaborate on what happened, but let's just say that doujin on how Youmu and Yuyuko were going to exploit lag to finally kill Kaguya.  Yeah, that happened.

After, I attempted an IN Extra run with Scarlet Team.  (Yeah.  I don't know what I was thinking.)  I derp way too many times, even dying once in the first half of the level itself and wasting a life and a deathbomb to Keine's first attack.  I somehow make it to Mokou with 3/?.  I end up bombing most of the stuff, and capping four cards.  Post-RoD, I have 0/3.  Somehow, I fuck up the first wave of PbP, and deathbomb there.  Second wave, I manage to get hit again about two seconds in.  I hit the bomb button, I see it start to activate...

Game over.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

[Dino_246]

I RAGEQUIT out of first and second stages a couple hundred times before I ever 1CC anything on hard or lunatic....i'm kind of masochistic like that.   It sucks, too, because i'll progress much slower than most people since I never get to practice the later stages, and to further add to the masochism, I never practice stages....getting to the stage in story mode a-la-arcade is my practice.
Also......I hate subterranean animism's first stage....every now and then I break that stupid rock when it's WAY too close and it explodes and kills me.....damn the rocks.

[theshirn]

ALIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

The "Moses' Miracle" phase keeps killing me twice, I keep screwing up her FIRST phase because she moves the wrong way, and is there any trick at all to the LOLOL INSTADEATH PURPLE LASERS LOLOL phase (her fifth or sixth) or am I supposed to just BS die every damn time?!

[Iryan]

Umm, both phase 5 and 6 are purple phases which utilize lasers. The 5th one, where she repidly spawns them ontop of you... just stream sideways a little. Ignore the point items that drop at the beginning, just move sideways slowly, or else you will die.

The 6th one is, well, one of the few phases that don't have a specific tactic besides trying to stay under alice and dodging the stuff she shoot at you. Yeah, it is not easy. Just try to do your best and utilize your bombs wisely.

[LHCling]

The 2nd Phase is just streaming. You don't even have to move that much, unless you want to swap directions.

The 2nd laser spam Phase, which I have named Alice's "100% Purple Phase" (even though both are) is just raw dodging. You will need to use both horizontal and vertical dodging. Staying underneath (and when she moves too far to the side, you stay centered) definitely helps.

I guess I should 1LC it again and upload a non-flickering attempt.
More rage at my attempt to improve MoF scoring. I should probably use string or something to mark the border of PoC. There are times where I just move a bit too far up, and end up collecting all the items, rather than just collecting the items just below it for full points.

[theshirn]

So apparently I can't play Touhou anymore.

I mean, I just tried a good dozen times, and couldn't get out of the first three stages of LLS Normal with MarisaA without dying.

I mean.  What.

[Drake]

Sanae is not a difficult boss hey I bombed that attack stop dying why are you dying bomb bomb bomb bomb no what the hell

Well, I captured 15 seconds and Cork Sign: Advent something something. I also did that thing where you die on Eeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxt(ry at the last possible moment.

[_Zac_]

The part in EoSD in the second stage when those feather (I heard they're icicles) like things are falling.

Dying with all your bombs.

[Sodium]

I failed Shackles a criminal can't remove. Now, it was when I had 0 power and was trying to get that life piece(it's hard to get it if your power<2), but still, I fucking raged.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

So I finally managed to get past Reimu, and beat arcade mode. I got a good run on it too so I decide to save the reply. The game locks up right as it's saving. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...

[theshirn]

God DAMN it.

Perfect run of the stage of MS Extra...right up until one of the EASY circles at the end SOMEHOW CLIPS ME.  Still have to bomb, of course, so I go into Alice 2/2.

Apparently I clipped a bullet in her first phase - though I wish I could have saved a replay just so I could defy ANYONE to find it - and then, for her second, she decided to keep moving right.  ALL THE WAY.  She was throwing a 45 degree angle at me for half of the phase - only half, because I swiftly game overed.

Seriously.  I'm really starting to hate everything PC-98.  The controls are awkward and sluggish, the hitboxes are crap, and BS deaths ALWAYS come at least three at a time.

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

You're a damn liar, Aya.  Your special ability in PoFV is the speed reduction of bullets, right?  Then why the hell are they moving faster than the bullets on the enemy's side?! 

[Garlyle]

I failed Shackles a criminal can't remove. Now, it was when I had 0 power and was trying to get that life piece(it's hard to get it if your power<2), but still, I fucking raged.

I know exactly what you mean.  There are a few spellcards you really shouldn't fail in SA - and that's one of them.  I rage when I screw up Terrible Recollection, actually.

Speaking of SA Rage, reached stage 6 Normal with MarisaB and two lives, and then VERY NEARLY beat Utsuho.  I made it to the final spellcard, first half was perfect... then lost both remaining lives within seconds of one another at the 1/4th mark.

...The fact I capped Heaven and Hell Meltdown with hands shaking like crazy bothers me even more.

Also, Utsuho is evil with the No Hitbox patch.  It's even more likely to be blinded by the Suns...

[Drake]

Currently raging at people who try to justify all IoSYS music as good.

Quite a few of their songs are fairly nice. Most of the heavily advertised arranges such as Marisa Stole etcetc, Cucumber-Flavored HNNNGH, Usatei and GIANT SWING are pretty good, even some with the dog whistle voices.

But stuff like the rest of Souyuu Shinpi and Tsukitoro Safe! aren't that great at all. I find it frustrating how people tend to go OH NO YOU DON'T LIKE IOSYS? No, you're just not listening to half the music they release. Really, people.

Along with most of the Cirno album and every second track that isn't one that's already drowned from fanwank.

Also people who think that all Touhou arranges are done by IoSYS.

Also Aya.

[Nuclear Fusion]

Yukari. Yukari, you and I really had something for a moment there, you know? You were being so nice during border of life and death, you didn't even move. I didn't have to move either, thanks for the capture finally. Sure, you killed me on Human and Youkai, but I'll forgive you for that, since you don't usually give me trouble on that one. But Danmaku Bounded Field. Oh, I will kill you for that one.

I finally manage to not die on the third and fourth waves, thinks to some insanely lucky dodging.

And then stand still on the fifth wave and watch it all come crashing down. I started making the circle way too late.

My rage outways my happiness of capturing Life and Death.

[LHCling]

Well this is ridiculous.

So I started up MS Lunatic again, this time using Marisa. The result? Horrible.

2 bombs vs Luize by self-fault, 2 bombs on Stage 3 (Alice included; Alice pulled a BS wall on her 2nd last phase). That was alright.

The problems?

Stage 4 enemies don't die to "shotgun power" because Marisa's attack type isn't "shotgun-based" like everybody else's (noting that Mima has the "long-distance shotgun" trait, and can still clear the stage quite well). Marisa has to suffer from delay attack. Died 3 times in total.

Yumeko. Now, before anybody goes and says otherwise, Marisa cannot deal with Yumeko. Even more than Yuka / Mima (based on your ability). Because of the shot type, it took 6 cycles* to clear the first wave of spam-death without bombing. It took another 4 cycles for the 2nd phase of the equivalent. Now compare that with basically anybody else (including Reimu), who would take 3 and 2 cycles respectively on average before clearing. I spend twice as much time in those spam-death phases when I don't resort to bombs. Of course, bombing your way through these phases don't prove to be that effective, unless it's the last spam-death phase. 2 lives down at Yumeko, 1 at the stage through self-fault.

Let's see if I can beat Shinki with 2/3 lives + 1 spare bomb. (read: 1 spare life, or 2 if I can reach 400 Extend!)

EDIT: 400 Extend!

EDIT 2: 2cc.

*_{1 cycle = streaming across the screen once before switching directions}

[nintendonut888]

PoDD lunatic. Fuck.

[KomeijiKoishi]

PoDD lunatic. Fuck.

PoDD on easy is fuck enough for me. Reason: Yumemi.
STRAWBERRIES!

[Nuclear Fusion]

Screwed up DBF on the fifth wave. AGAIN!!

I am raging like nothing else. Also, I blame the little girl who was counting down the timer. Arg.

FURTHER RAGE! Make it to stage 4 EOSD with 5 lives, full bombs.

Make it stage 5 with 2, 2 bombs. urg.

Make it to Sakuya with 3 lives, no bombs. WOOT!

DIE TWICE ON HER THIRD NON CARD!! Everything else was perfect ;_;

Game overed on the FIRE STREAMING before Scarlet Meister with two bombs still in stock.

URG! I can do this! I just have to stop sucking so bad.

[_Zac_]

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (Refuse to Acrynom) I had 6 lives by Stage 4, and ended up with 3 lives on Stage 6. I lost all of those by the time she got down to 3 Healthbars.

Very Disappointing, since that's the best I've done before Remilia.

I'll get the Extra stage eventually.

Oh and I forgot, rawr...

[Helepolis]

Default lives Reimu solo hard failed. 5 lives 1 bomb to Final B but died twice during stage and lack of practise for Kaguya.

I still worship our Miko.

[nintendonut888]

PoDD lunatic. Fuck.

[KomeijiKoishi]

Donut, we already had this. And I said, that I already hate PoDD easy because of Yumemi.
And... oh yeah.
STRAWBERRIES!

[Garlyle]

Subterranean Animism.

Extra.

God damn.  How can people say this is easy!?  I can barely manage to reach Koishi, so add on to that the fact that you get hardly any extra lives... just... ugh.
