SoEW Extra. That is all.

I just beat MS extra with one death (preboss waves) and beat Alice without dying. The problem? My computer slows down on the main part of the stage before the midboss and Alice's last two waves significantly, meaning no run I do could ever be valid. I've beaten this without slowdown about three times, and of course I don't do near as hot on another computer.

Random run of PCB, just for the hell of it. No practice runs today, no restarts, and hell, using a character I'm not used to using (I primarily use Needle Reimu in the Windows series).

Entered Stage 6 with full lives. Three cards failed to this point: Orleans, Youmu's midboss card, and Hell God Sword. It's a great run. Then shit hit the fan.

Death to the impossible fairy wall (no bombs in stock, so this was expected)
Death to Youmu's card (fucked up the safe spots)
Death to Lost Soul's Village (rage...)
-Bombed Deadly Dance (just mentioning this to clarify that I didn't capture it)
Death to Butterfly Delusion (I never did bother learning how to do this one consistently)
Death to Repository of Hirokawa (aka: "Fail Sign - That Really Easy Streaming Card")
Death to Sumizome Perfect Blossom
Death to Resurrection...
Death to Butterfly...
Death to 80% Reflowering...

All aboard the fail train.

PoFV crashed twice as I tried to save the replay twice. Not English Patched as well.

The red box shows you what crashed for today. This means that I can't submit a replay as a high score ;_;

_{I did get a video of the full thing (horrible deaths included; still cleared with 3 lives left) if anybody wants it.

EDIT: On second thought... I'll just try it again ;_;

...just not today...}

I totally *SUCK* at PCB lunatic. WTF.. I mean I can beat eosd lunatic 1cc with default lives.. but I can't even get past alice in pcb wtf.. no seriously.. it's an eyesore how bad I suck at this game. I just don't get it, I practiced for hours straight, and I'm NOT getting any better.. AGHAGHAGHSF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*cries*..
Sad thing is I do fine on hard, 1cc it with 4 lives to spare..on a "meh" run.

Believe it or not, Alice is one of the hardest non-final bosses in all of Touhou, so don't feel bad about not being able to pass her. Once it gets down to it she's your biggest obstacle until Yuyuko.

Milkyway64 · « **Reply #726 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:18:17 AM »

*Warning, some exaggerations present in rant*

Touhou 7, Normal 1cc, I rock out hard. I feel all proud, cause I'm beasting shit like a pro. I have it this time, I think. And I did.
Final boss, 4 lives, what could go wrong? I had enough bombs to just spam those and win, but I needed some to last the final attack.
And so I run into a near stationary bullet, and not deathbomb. the 5 bombs on that stock = gone.
Major blow to morale, but I could manage. 7's final boss is slightly easy.
I don't space myself properly for the incoming slow ass wall of bullets. I die and all 3 bombs are lost. Fuuuuuuuu-ck.
Now if I gotta win, I gotta rock like I did the rest of the game. No problem, sine I only lost one life to the stage 5 boss, who is much- GODDAMMIT WHERE DID THAT BULLET COME FROM?!
So on her first noncard, I'm left with but three bombs. Or as I like to think it, up shit creek without a paddle.
I try anyways, and make it two cards in using one bomb. Quite okay, but I'd certainly have none left for the final att- fuck. I need to stop thinking. I ended up perfecting the final attack after my continue.
tl;dr version,
I made it to the final boss with near decisive stats, SD all my lives on the first phase.

Just because you don't find Youmu difficult anymore don't mean the rest of us don't. :p

And my main reason for posting in this thread is my utter, utter heartbreak at just missing my first Lunatic 1cc in PCB. 10 seconds left on RB80%. I made one major fuckup the whole game (going up to the PoC for point items just as ghost-knives starts up, since I needed 12 more items for the 1000pt life and didn't think a knife would smash me in the face as I went for them, one bomb in stock) and it ultimately cost me the whole run. I would have captured Sumizone Perfect Blossom Bloom (and had a life for RB80) had I not died whilst my winning bullet was in mid-flight.

"Do you challenge again?"

Not right now. Not the way I'm feeling.

Yeah so MoF is slowly inching towards being my least favorite Windows game.

lmagus · « **Reply #729 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:25:50 PM »

The only thing i really like about MoF is 5th stage.

I LOVE IT

AND SANAE

Drake · « **Reply #730 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:47:10 PM »

FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK YOU STAGE 5

Although I captured Unremembered Crop and Mizui quite a few times. Nearly Source of Rains.

IT'S SANAE'S FAULT but i love you

I can usually boost my faith by 350000 points if I don't die, but asdfasdfadgdsghg

lmagus · « **Reply #732 on:** July 13, 2009, 01:52:31 AM »

MoF Normal

reached Kakako with 4 lives.. reached last spell with 2 lives 2.50

game over when she had only... so little... two more seconds i would have beaten...

lmagus · « **Reply #733 on:** July 13, 2009, 03:42:30 AM »

I failed at Kanako on normal 5 times today.
Still haven't killed her =(

I can't record EoSD Stage 4. It goes choppy, even when recording at 30 FPS. I blame the computer. And don't suggest me to try anything else; it's much much worse.
...and I just pulled a decent run out too.

-2 bombs on "The Books" (ReimuB)
-1 panic bomb on the fairies before Patchy
-1 deathbomb on "Bury in Lake" (unfocus swing into a random bullet; planned to bomb out of precaution and the prediction was successful)
-1 death on "Water Elf"; no bombs remaining (clipdeath)

The scoring aspect of it isn't too shabby either.

Also, "Mercury Poison" is harder at a lower Rank. Stupid speed:density ratio.

_{I also feel that "Princess Undine" is more ridiculous than "Bury in lake" for EoSD (i.e. Normal > Lunatic). Anybody else find this to be the case? Further, can anybody actually do "Princess Undine" for SA Hard / Lunatic?}

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #735 on:** July 13, 2009, 01:33:49 PM »

MoF. Stage 4. Somehow, it's thwarting ALL my attempts at a 1cc. FUCK AYA.

Sapz · « **Reply #736 on:** July 13, 2009, 03:47:01 PM »

This. Princess Undine is garbage.

Ghaleon · « **Reply #739 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:49:14 PM »

I still suck at pcb.. just when I practiced stage 3 enough so that alice isn't so scary. I can't even do stage 1-2 now.. sighh... I think 99% of my deaths are when my cherry points are at like 49950 or something really effing stupid like that too.

Yes. It uses the horrible mid-sized bullets which make everything total garbage in EoSD.

Game over on Yukari's 2nd to last spellcard on what was otherwise a nearly perfect run. No deaths until DDBB, then it all went downhill because I didn't know what to expect for the Ran spellcard.

AAAAARRRRRGHHH

why do controllers suck so much for Touhou?
i played with my wifi xbox 360 controller until last week when i decided to start playing with my old keyboard, since the main one is wireless and lags so much..
but it broke...

now i just can't get used to playing with the controller anymore.. seems like i just can't move just a little bit...

it was ok for playing on easy, but to play on normal with it is just impossible

Last time I tried playing with a controller I game over'd against Reisen on easy. I was using Alice solo, but still. With a keyboard, the only problem is that my legs really hurt after a run. But that's because I need to find a better place to put my laptop and to stop sitting on them.

Months ago, I nearly beat Koishi no deaths. I had one death: A clip death on her second non-spell (causing more rage than usual). This time, a similar situation! One death...on Koishi's FIFTH non-spell. D: Seriously, why am I cursed to clip death these really easy rhythm attacks?!

On a happier note though, I sense my Genetics capture will come soon. I figured something crucial out: Koishi doesn't home in on you from the moment she makes that charge sound; she homes in on your position when it ENDS. This makes this attack MUCH more manageable.

ARRRGH GODDAMN METAL FATIGUE BULLETS AAARRRRGGGHH

The same bullet sprite in all other games has around HALF the hitbox. Goddamn Metal Fatigue bullets (for that is how I will always know them, because Metal Fatigue killed me SO MANY TIMES when I was going for my Normal 1cc).

Today's rage is directed at the stage portions of PCB Phantasm and SSG Extra. I really, really, really hate stages that require very strict micromemorization and will kill you if you deviate from a certain pre-set pattern; it's the same reason as why Hourai Jewel needs to die in a fire.

Good god why was I even playing Phantasm anyway I hate that stage so much.
