The previous incarnation (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7420.0.html) is just about full, so time for a new one.
Remember, you don't need to be a Lunatic player for anything you pull off to be labeled an "achievement". If you think it looks good, be proud about it and post it in here.
EDIT: Oh Naut, you and your titles. :D
-
Screw lunatic, I have extra. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12452)
First Mishaguji-sama capture. BV
-
I just unlocked solo characters for IN :V
-
First SWR hard 1cc, also a 1 life clear. Lol Patchy.
Lunatic time.

Oh gosh, you're catching up to me. I've cleared it with Patchy on Lunatic not too long ago. It'll be interesting to see how someone else plays it.
So far, I've got a Hard 1cc of SWR with Reimu. Working on lunatic with her now.

Patchy Lunatic clear
It'll be interesting to see how someone else plays it.
The cheap way. (http://download1244.mediafire.com/gpsc8jfdwphg/0k8wbbenc06vf4v/0223_2212_patchouli_story.rep) 5C, 236C, 22C, Royal Flare through the 2-3 tough cards >_>. Patchy is to SWR as MarisaB is to MoF.
Also, I guess this makes my 5th Lunatic clear :3.
EDIT: Just cleared UFO Normal for the second time, this time with SanaeB, had 5 lives in reserve at the end, which was way more than the first time (last life no bombs teehee). Also, I quite like this pic (http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo245/_chirpy13_/Touhou/untitled-1.jpg) from the ending =3.
-
:D I finally reached Suwako on a 90FPS Extra run.
Now to beat Suwako.
-
Does a nervous breakdown satisfy the "Lunatic" requirement? (stupid English paper)
On topic, though, I recently made it past Boss Orin on Hard mode for the first time. Guess all that practicing during last week's tourney paid off, huh?
-
Lunatics Only? Sweet title. ;)
-
I want to clarify in case anyone missed it, Naut put that "Lunatics only" title there as a joke, considering what I wrote in the OP. I'm willing to leave it as is, but I don't want a single misunderstanding coming from anyone here about it. 'Kay? :3
Back on-topic, SA Extra cleared with ReimuC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12468) I was bored.

That... is quite interesting. If one could consistently put themselves on that safespot you'd nullify this spell. Those two waves you cheat through are the only clippy ones.

Wow. Congratulations on that one. How many attempts did that take? :V
-
Like... 10-15 or so. I guess I've improved since the 1cc days. Boss Yuugi wasn't really hard, it was just the post-midboss part killing me for the most part.
Also, it was done with a 360 pad rather than a keyboard. BV

That final part doesn't mean much since you've already admitted to use the 360 pad better than a keyboard. Oddly enough i find the first part of the stage harder than the second. Not that it means anything. They are both... pretty simple. You don't play enough Touhou Sapz.
I at least have an excuse for being burnt out. :V
-
I probably should play more often, yeah. I mean to start proper scoring runs in them, but I never get around to it, there are too many good games to play. :V

I'll probably start with MoF or SA first, after/if I ever get bored of Sweets/Pork. Man, I didn't realise until that run how much more fun the grazing was on Lunatic. Suddenly it makes more sense!

-
Haha! My one random attempt and MoF extra (at 12:20 am) and I beat her with ReimuA, which marks my first clear of her. (besides the MarisaB(roken) one I did a while back) I almost capped her last card too, but decided that one wave was looking too hard so I bombed, plus I didn't have any lives left.
Also, as mentioned in the failures thread, I finally pulled off a PoFV normal 1cc with Aya... since she's broken. Ah well, a clear's a clear. ^_^; (only died once in the run, against Sikeiki)
-

Yeah, i can understand that part. At least your periodic touhou tournaments provides a good reason to play them. Playing in a competition is much more fun than playing by yourself. Too bad i never got around to attempting that IN No-focus Youmu thing...

I swear to god everyone should play 90FPS to warm up before something.
Makes everything feel so much more doable~
Oh, right, forgot my accomplishment.
Almost perfected Flandre, but messed up with 1% health on QED remaining...
But I'm out of the 90FPS effect, so I gotta go play some UFO 90FPS before I can try again...
-
I just 1CC'd route C-2 of Fairy Wars, meaning I have now 1CC'd every route.
And at least two of those 1CCs have had deaths in the first stage. This one had two. :V
-
Perfect Orin, in response to people still talking about how they hope she'll both appear for no reason in Ten Desires and will be even harder :B:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12511
With this, Subterranean Animism is the first game in which I have perfected every single boss! :D Somehow ironic considering it's my least favorite of the Windows shooters.
-
10D Lunatic 1cc! Successssss!
Goddamn why is this game easier than UFO.
-
Well, I am certifiably insane.
Er, anyway, I've 1cc'd all the Windows games on Normal. I can't wait for XD (I will call it that forever and you cannot stop me) to come out so I can DOMINATE it.
-
Bah, you guys and your Imperishable Shooting safespots.
You don't get any graze that way.

I just tried it. No graze.

Conan said perfect, so none. But he's just lying in an attempt to show me up, so yeah.
I'm not too familiar with how the game changes at 90FPS aside from speed, but I guess the second card would be a bitch to clear. I'd just bomb; the extra life after is good enough to compensate. At least for now; if you just die later with bombs in stock suddenly that one bomb isn't a waste after all, so... If you still want to power through it I can't really give much advice though.
-

U just jelly I did a perfect run~
Ah, man, how many bombs did you use? I'm trying to clear the Extra Stage at 90FPS but I keep getting hung up at the midboss.
Anyway, I think I found a reliable way to clear her second card. You just have to start near the bottom and dodge the static bullets. After the second wave, I recommend you go all the way to the top left/right of the screen and slowly start streaming those lasers she shoots at you. It might seem scary, but just stay calm and focused. Also, be aware that the blue bullets' hitboxes are bigger than their sprites (sorta like Remilia's opener in EoSD) , so you might suffer from a bunch of clip-deaths unless your using Reimu.
Hopefully this helped~
Ok, I seriously think I should stop :V

Oh you guys. :|

Ehh... didn't you perfect PCB too?
-
(Pretty much) my first try at SA (easy mode).
My last few attempts (like, only 3 of them) was over a year ago.
And I 1cc'd it. :D
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12515
You know, I like how I've captured every final card the first time I saw it on easy.
-
Ehh... didn't you perfect PCB too?
I know that Ran is on his 1 mistake list. Not sure of the other bosses.
And thanks for the reminder that she is also on my 1 mistake list due to Izuna Gongen. And on the runs where I've captured that, I screwed up something else on the fight. I probably have at least 10-20 1DNBs of her spread across the shottypes.
I could perfect Yukari as well if I put in some effort, but my best Yukari fight which was from my no death clear was ND2B but on BoLaD.
-
Why did I never notice this before.

-

Ran and Yukari. I refuse to learn how to safespot BoLaD. :S Ran is because I've never really tried.
-
After not really playing touhou for months, I gave 12.8's extra a go, since it's the only extra i havent beaten yet.
Actually made it to blazing star something o.O then I died cause she spawned bullets on top of me.
Some things went so well that it amazed me. Other did not (4+ deaths when marisa had 2 seconds of health left ><)
-
No bomb/2 death VoWG Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12527)
To be honest, I never thought I'd actually pull this off. I was originally gonna attempt to capture VoWG another 5 times (captured 5 times so far)...but seeing the fact that I pulled this off, screw capturing it now. It's finally time that I attempt a VoWG NBND timeout.
Speaking of which, I forget the count, but how many here succeeded in pulling off a NBND timeout? I think it was 10, but I could be wrong.
-
FallenAngelVeronica, Kefit, Jaimers, Krim, BaitySM, Zetsumarshen, Zengeku, Sapz, Funen1, and me
Not sure of whether Zengeku or Sapz got it first, but the rest of the order should be right. And yes, that's 10.

Guess again :P
Naut, along with everyone else on that list, you are an inspiration....
My new goal is to one day have a NBND run on Kanako + a perfect time-out of VoWG!
Here's my latest replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12531)
An 8 death time-out of VoWG :>
I only bombed her opener (since I was a little pussy couldn't see myself thanks to the stupid song tittle popping out....), while I perfected everything else (excluding VoWG).
Funny thing is that I felt I was going to die/got lucky during the death fairy, Divine Husk "Divining Crop", her third nonspell, Mystery "Yamato Torus", and Heaven's Dragon "Source of Rains"....
...One day I'll get there.... 8)
edit:
Going to call it a day. I think I'm starting to get the hang of squeezing inbetween the waves of amulets!~
-
Guess again :P
You're on. :)
Though I've a really bad feeling I'll screw up more often...and maybe find this NB2D run a fluke after all...
-
I thought you had done perfect Yukari after that 1D or was it 1B run.
I'm...sorry to disappoint you?
I kinda miss the days when someone would congratulate me on a hard-earned accomplishment rather than demean it with "you haven't perfected this yet" and such.

Too bad. Nowadays more is expected of a person who've played the games for as long as you have. And who was a Lunatic before most of us begun on Hard. You must go time out VoWG. :D Until then, rejoyce in your victory over Orin. She has a few hard attacks... well, mainly just Ghost Wheels but still. :D

Yeah, see, that's the thing. I don't particularly like that.

Think of how bad all the new players who can barely clear the game feel, considering they only ever get the one image response from Baity or me (and occasionally a congrats from Zengeku), whereas you still regularly get personal recognition from most of the top players here.
-
I get personal recognition? The last time I remember that happening was the Eirin perfect. When I perfected Kanako, you all on IRC skipped right over it to say PARTICIPATE IN THE TOURNAMENT DAWG, and the only response to me perfecting Utsuho anywhere was:
Well... technically you didn't perfect Kaguya and Eirin :V
And my reception for Orin here can basically be summed up with "you haven't perfected this stuff yet? Go do it." I'm not asking for special recognition, I'm just asking for a kind word every odd month on stuff I still try really hard at. Not that I foresee another major accomplishment for a long time.

You do get personal recognition. You are pretty much the only person we treat like this. Everyone else gets a good proper congratulations while you get ordered to do something even more challenging. :D
Okay, seriously now. What i did with that post back when you perfected Utsuho was just teasing you. Nothing for you to take seriously. Even if you didn't capture the final spells of those two boss fights you captured everything that mattered. For both Eirin and Kaguya it is their spellcards in the actual boss fights that are the hardest. The final spells are pretty simple once you know how to deal with them so even if you fail them it doesn't make the achievements less noteworthy.
I haven't perfected those bosses yet and i think your accomplishment was impressive. Much more so than defeating Orin which is also cool. Just not that cool considering what you can do.

Bullets coming in mass quantities from all four sides of the screen is not fun ZUN!
-
wtf how u do
Apparently you also gain extra lives in this game after getting certain amounts of graze points.
Kill the blue fairy line right of the bottom line ASAP to make enough room right around the big fairy. Supergraze timeout it and you get like 4-5 extra lives out of it.
WELP. Guess I'll try a lunatic 1cc tomorrow then. :derp:
-
Finally managed to scrape this together (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12574)
I honestly didn't think I'd finish Okuu going in with only two lives, but I barely pulled it off-- even capturing my nemesis card, Hell's Tokamak :D
In retrospect, I'm pretty disappointed that I practically captured Subterranean Sun, then just bombed the last wall of bullets. If I had been thinking clearly I would have just unfocused and backed away from it :V
Oh well

Playing TH12.3's arcade mode as Patchouli. I was fighting Aya, and I got that spell card when Patchy gets a ball of fire and throws it down at the ground under your enemy. Right before the ball made contact with the ground, the game crashed. I was like "LOL WHAT THE HELL?"
Other than that, I managed to beat TH10 on normal. Just had to bomb more aggressively and I managed to beat Kanako by bombspamming.

Aw, don't worry about it Donut. Just enjoy yourself and leave the crazy stuff to Jaimers :P. Speaking of Jaimers, I kinda feel like doing a no death no bomb timeout Gengetsu as well now... But at full speed! At least I can savestate to right before the hell phase >_>.
EDIT: Perfect Mugetsu, maybe max rank, I can't tell (it's from an old savestate I had, but the bullets definitely seem a lot faster than normal). Fairly decent Gengetsu fight (3 death 1 bomb <_<) after that as well.

Wait, you're going to do a NDNB pacifist Gengetsu fight at 60 fps? Umm... good luck to you then! Even with save states there's a reason I did GRT at 15 fps you know. :V

Coo'. Taking a break from a massive study day, I played MS lunatic and got a new record: 4 deaths, 15 bombs. Stupid deaths were had as usual, but many were averted. Dumbest part was definitely when I entered Shinki 4/0, perfected her up until the phase where her wings turn red, and died there of all places. X( Also, I think this is possibly the first decent score I've ever gotten on MS lunatic, though I'm not sure how: 67,177,620 I didn't even approach the 400 point extend as usual, so I'm confused how this score is better than previous outings.
EDIT: The heck. Random MS extra run to balance things out, scored 94 million. It wasn't even a noteworthy run. o_O

I may or may not, but I made a savestate right before it so I can make attempts as I feel like it. The benefit on my part is that skill doesn't really have much bearing on that attack; tap left and right and hope you survive~!
...But with how many attempts that would take me, I wouldn't be surprised if I could actually read it by the end...
EDIT: 4 attempts in, I can now read it, the issue is my actual dodging (my reflexes are not that good!!). It seems maybe feasible if I had a rhythm down for it though, since it's basically just two waves that repeat really fast for 40 seconds...
That is not a winners attitude!
Well, try hard and all that stuff too! I meant more along the lines of accomplishing whatever, as long as he enjoys doing it. No need to pacifist NDNB no vertical (would the no vertical even be possible with those conditions? >_>) max rank lunatic Mima just because you haven't yet... Though I'm sure someone will try it now that I've said it.

Marisa, Mima, and Evil Eye Sigma can't be timed out, so that kind of ruins the pacifst Mima idea.

I know that, I'm just saying that GIL can do anything. :V
-
Skill isn't a factor if the goal literally cannot be achieved. If there are too many attacks that moving on a horizontal axis cannot avoid and not enough resources to survive those, then it is not possible no matter how good you are. Mima in particular I'm pretty sure is not possible no vertical, as some attacks require extreme misdirection.
-
Cleared my personal high score of th7 phantasm, in a practice mode, was feeling lazy...Attempting to safespot BoLaD but couldn't pull it off, so did it the hardcore way instead...well finished with 5 lives and 3 bombs, due to a bad memory where the 1 safespot is in Yukari's final spellcard and somewhere else. Score: 898, 377, 250.
-
Why is that when you pick up the games after not playing them for a while, you can suddenly accomplish things you could never do before? It's so addicting...
Anyway, I increased my Normal High Score in SA by an ungodly amount (more than doubled it), and cleared it with ~6 lives remaining. I think I've only cleared SA once before...
So here so you can laugh at my mediocrity

Finally went through and savestated Lotus Land Story. Accomplishments during these savestates were:
LLS Marisa perfect
Rings of doom capture (first try, surprisingly)
Captured stage 5 Yuka's final phase for the first time (again, first try, whoo Jaimers that strategy rocks)
Managed to not capture stage 6 Yuka's final phase after 25 minutes of trying. :derp:
Jaimers. Hey hey, Jaimers. How you supposed to do this again?
-
I meant more along the lines of accomplishing whatever, as long as he enjoys doing it. No need to pacifist NDNB no vertical (would the no vertical even be possible with those conditions? >_>) max rank lunatic Mima just because you haven't yet... Though I'm sure someone will try it now that I've said it.
Yeah i get what you mean. Though, playing anything earlier than LLS is counter-productive. :)
-
Over the first three and a half years since I began playing PoFV, I cleared only one storyline. Over the past three and a half WEEKS, I have cleared seven different ones and only have Mystia's left to clear.
Also, considering the number of times I've faced Aya and the number of random dragon counters she gets, I still joke that she cheats.
-
Jaimers. Hey hey, Jaimers. How you supposed to do this again?
It's a combination of memorization and pixel perfect execution.
Practice more I guess. :V
I find it easier on max rank for some reason.

Depending on how the rank is implemented to affect the gameplay, my suggeston would be the ever-favorite:
Faster bullets fired at the same rate leave larger gaps to move through.

I guess it wasn't on max rank when I savestated, but it's just baffling to me. I can get the first four dodges down pretty well, but no matter what I tried I could never find a consistent way to avoid the fifth wave, because that's when two waves overlap and form a solid wall. I guess I'll try again and make sure I reach it at max rank.
Yeah i get what you mean. Though, playing anything earlier than LLS is counter-productive. :)
You know, a big part of why I took your joking seriously is because your jokes sound a lot more like forcing opinions on people.
-
Hourai Elixir still captures if you die at the end. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12607)
I forgot to save the replay, so I did it again <_<.
-
Huh. Turns out entering below max rank really was the problem all along. Just captured Yuka's final phase! :D
-
Some recent accomplishments ive had are beating SA extra reimu b and c. It wasn't terrible but they both had there problems =/. Also I caputured Subterranean Rose for the first time! :V
-

Congrats!
You're so lucky..... I can only beat Subterranean Rose without game-overing only if I do a cheesy time-out with Marisa C (it doesn't matter how many lives I start the spellcard with...)
Right now, during a Lunatic UFO run with Reimu B, I captured Drowning Sign "Sinkable Vortex" for the first time!
(But then, I derped and gameovered on Ghost "Dipper Creeping Close"... with 3 seconds left)..... :V
-
Fail with Sakuya B and Reimu B - Win with Reimu A. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12612)
How? :V
Oh well, I guess I get extra coolpoints for using a weaker shot type(?)
-
Failed flying fantastica while the bar was humming... When I usually fail it before the halfway point. Woo, maybe I'm on the way to capturing this thing!
-
Perfected stage 5 Yuka! It took some work to get her last attack down on max rank, but nothing I can't handle. :D Also, I 1DNB'd stage 6 Yuka, neatly replacing the void in the one mistakes club. Now the only bosses left in LLS are stage 6 Yuka and Reimu.
/me shudders
-
You know, a big part of why I took your joking seriously is because your jokes sound a lot more like forcing opinions on people.
Wasn't necessarily joking this time. :V
If you gotta spend a lot of time to pull of something, don't waste it on Mima. Spend it on something that's actually decently made. Like most stuff LLS and onwards! (Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with PoDD but its... like PoFV not suited for that sort of challenges)
-
Fairy wars extra complete :V
Wasn't even that hard, I just never got myself to do it.
Kinda sucky that my completion run was really messy and failed most cards, that I could capture in fail runs.
-
PoFV Lunatic 90 FPS default lives 1cc with Cirno followed by the very familiar "th09.exe has stopped working" when saving a replay. I guess I'll try and do it again when frapsing it live... only Aya & Shiki are really hard, the rest honestly doesn't change that much. Took me 20-something attempts to get Shiki to die before I did without using a continue, though.
Also more low-health QED & even a collapse fail on 90 FPS Flandre, can't really be bothered with her anymore at this point...
-
I guess this one fits both here and in the failures topic. Made it to stage 4 MS Lunatic only dying once (on Alice, fair enough I guess since I had no bombs at the start)... Then I go and burn 6 lives and my bombs on stage 4, leaving me with 1 life no bombs on stage 5. I fail the run on the aimed triple-icicle fairies on stage 5 because I have a hard time streaming that slowly. It was a blind run though, so we'll see how it goes next time I guess =p.
-
Considering that you made it to Stage 5 despite losing that many resources you should be able to squeeze out a 1cc if you stop dying at stage 4.
Though losing that many lives makes me wonder if you play with default resources or not. Haven't ever bothered to 1cc this on anything harder than Hard so i have really forgotten how many lives you can get. Iirc it wasn't that many though.

You can start with 6 in LLS/MS, and I usually do my first 1ccs of a difficulty with max, and then work my way to default once I'm better at it. Meaning I lost 7 lives on stage 4 or something >_>. Pretty much all of them were icicle bullets and me misjudging my hitbox a little, nothing I can't fix easily enough. 2 were on Yuki, but she's pretty tough so that's fair enough I guess.

Touhou 13 lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFu4BAkBDk0)
I will end you.
-
YES! Finally beat StB 6-6. Oh gosh, that took longer than it should have. (307 shots to get this)
Now on to the last two scenes of level 6. :ohdear:
-
Good job. I can't wait to see how many tries 9-6 takes you. :3
-
Good job. I can't wait to see how many tries 9-6 takes you. :3
Oh gosh, that one. I've given that one 13 shots and haven't made much progress. I'll wait till I get there, cause I want to get the previous levels down first. :derp:
-
YES! Finally beat StB 6-6. Oh gosh, that took longer than it should have. (307 shots to get this)
Now on to the last two scenes of level 6. :ohdear:
Mine says 367. Congratulations. :D You did it faster than i did. (Oh and i just attempted it and got it in two attempts but that's irrelevant.)
The next two scenes you'll be encountering will probably be easier for you since they are both much more about figuring out how to do them rather than dodging.
Touhou 13 lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFu4BAkBDk0)
Lol,U WA TROLL. Imma insta dislike your video because i totally expect that when a link says Touhou 13 Lunatic 1cc it actually leads to a Touhou 13 Lunatic 1cc since i'm too stupid to realize that it is pretty hard to 1cc a game that hasn't been released.
Good job. I can't wait to see how many tries 9-6 takes you. :3
I have spent 621 attempts at capturing 9-6 however three times. I'm curious about the amount of attempts it took you Donut. I went ahead and captured it just now. Took 7 attempts. :V
-
MS Hard 1cc!
AND I WILL SUBMIT THE SCORE
HOW YOU LIKE THAT
-
Second attempt at MS Lunatic, made it to Shinki last life no bombs, got an extend, failed the run on lasers.
(http://i51.tinypic.com/15p2y37.png) (http://i53.tinypic.com/rk2e6r.png)
1cc in sight!

I think it's worth saying that you can't really gauge "attempts" in StB and DS. What the game counts is the number of pictures you've taken, so even if you cleared Kinkakuji your first try, it'd still say you tried seven times. As for that number, it was somewhere in the thousands of shots. Not that it really matters.
Anyway, I've been taking some time today to see to my old pal SWR, clearing Sakuya and Tenshi's modes. I have to say, now I understand why Tenshi can have a story mode against eight opponents without being totally outmatched: Her attacks are really, REALLY overpowered. Her alternate 214 can drain a little under half the opponent's health in one hit. o_o I'm still not sure I'm crazy enough to try lunatic again though...
-
Touhou 13 lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFu4BAkBDk0)
That was a disappointing end boss. Getting faeries to do all the work for her?
-
Bluh.
Hisoutensoku Cirno hard 1cc. I didn't understand before, and I still have no idea how people can consider this the easiest story mode. Cirno's damage output sucks, she's all but helpless against opponents in the air, is a sitting duck when IN the air (and due to her wings really likes hanging around up there), and has almost nothing but low priority projectiles (the 5C everyone talks about is too weak to be a viable attack measure). Most importantly, she just plain doesn't have a good damaging move that can lay the smack down on enemies when their spell gauge is drained. Sanae and Meiling both have powerful and versatile attacks for this and for draining the gauge, but Cirno has nothing. Ugh, I don't even want to imagine what lunatic is like for her.
(aimed below to not waste a post) And no, it doesn't matter -at all-. It's not a contest.

Yeah, counting attempts that way always seemed very odd to me. But you're right. The amount of attempts it has taken to capture a card or something like that an eternity ago isn't really relevant. What you can do at present day is more important.
-
(aimed below to not waste a post) And no, it doesn't matter -at all-. It's not a contest.
You mean, "it's not a contest that I'm participating in."
-
No, it really doesn't matter. Whether it takes one, a hundred, or even a thousand tries, it's not a contest. The photo games are at their most fun when you're endlessly replaying a tough scene anyway. I thought HME got over the "who did it quicker" mentality and started celebrating improvements, rather than having to project a feeling of superiority onto every "congrats."
If I'm sounding too steamed about this, it's because Soku just fried my brain. =_=
-
I heard Hisoutensoku actually had a somewhat challenging storymode... Maybe I should give it a go so it can stop being lonely as my only "never played" Touhou.
-
No, it really doesn't matter. Whether it takes one, a hundred, or even a thousand tries, it's not a contest.
To you, it certainly is not. But don't take away other people enjoying a little competition. Just don't participate if you don't want to. You saying that kind of thing doesn't matter even though it does to some of us isn't too far off somebody else saying the accomplishments you make don't matter, despite them being important to you but maybe not to us.
I thought HME got over the "who did it quicker" mentality and started celebrating improvements, rather than having to project a feeling of superiority onto every "congrats."
We do celebrate improvements, all the time. Some of us also like to compete. As a matter of fact, the competition drives many of us to improve faster. It's not about "projecting a feeling of superiority onto every 'congrats,'" and I'm sorry that's how you interpret it. There is never any condescension when congratulating somebody on their acheivements. Well, not anymore, I can't really speak of days long past I guess.
-

Gah, don't speak of it. I can't beat even Cirno on Hisoutensoku.

Second attempt at MS Lunatic, made it to Shinki last life no bombs, got an extend, failed the run on lasers.
1cc in sight!
Third attempt, inching ever closer!! This time made it to Shinki with 4 lives and got an extend, but still failed.

Went into Shinki with 5 lives no bombs, died once on lasers (as the phase ended, gg), bombed a couple times on the first red wing phase, captured Devil's Recitation PC98 Edition, captured (her loleasy) last phase. Technically this run could pass as a default resources clear if I took off 3 of those lives and added some more score. Yay!
-
PoFV, now with 100% of all character scenarios cleared! Let's see how long I can last in Extra without totally making a fool of m'self!
Not long at all!

Haha, yeah, that's what's happening to me. I can get a few stages in and then it ends. I don't like to use Komachi but whatever.
-

You could probably clear it with Tewi no problem. That autobomb if you get hit completely trivializes Extra. Of course, it's more fun to do it with a harder character =3.
-
Yeah but to do it with Tewi you first have to clear with Komachi and Shikieiki.
-
Yep. When you first have it unlocked, your only option is Komachi, so I'm stuck with her. :wat:
Then I'll get Shikieiki, which will then unlock the other Prismriver's for matches once I clear extra with her, then after that I don't know. Maybe the rest of the cast?
-
and maybe it's just me but i think it's a lot harder with shikieiki than it is with komachi :ohdear:
-
Right, forgot about unlocking stuff. I grabbed a fully unlocked score dat when I got it so I could netplay so I never think about unlocking characters and that.
-
EDIT: 1cc =D
Good i suppose. Next time, try doing it with default settings.
-
Good i suppose. Next time, try doing it with default settings.
Meh, I'm fine with my performance matching defaults; it's not like it makes your runs any worse right? I can't submit scores with T98 lag (which is the main reason for lowering it) and I can't even see the bullets in Anex because it's too flickery (hell knows how I managed LLS in it). Of course, I'll probably go for default lives for the other windows games after I get them down, or if I somehow manage to survive the invisible Anex bullets, since I can actually submit scores for those. In the meantime though I won't worry too much about it.
To you, it certainly is not. But don't take away other people enjoying a little competition. Just don't participate if you don't want to. You saying that kind of thing doesn't matter even though it does to some of us isn't too far off somebody else saying the accomplishments you make don't matter, despite them being important to you but maybe not to us.
I feel weird rolling back this many posts, but oh well. You may just be talking generally and I'm missing the point or something, but I don't quite see how attempts for a first capture matter either - like Zengeku said, it's more about how consistently you can capture it, or how well you can score on it. I mean, it's not like we go back 8 years to PCB's release and think our failures from back then reflect our current ability or anything. I mean, I guess you could delete your score.dat and compete that way, but it seems like quite an obscure thing to compete over.
Also, since I just noticed, happy birthday BSoD!
-
Just my two cents: Once you get comfortable enough with your performance, you should move down to default lives. Maybe it's just me, but I found that when I played on max lives, I was much more careless due to the added resources, even ending up performing worse because of it. I also found it to be less rewarding due to you not doing it on the "normal" amount of lives, even if you did well enough to have done it anyway. Of course, it's up to you, but MoF-on doesn't grant you such favors...

Of course, it's up to you, but MoF-on doesn't grant you such favors...
You may have a point there, I never really considered that... Of course, I was playing for survival here anyway, but when I went into Shinki's last few phases with 5 lives in reserve, I certainly wasn't too worried about dying, since I could pretty much just bomb through the rest of it at that point if I wanted. Less pressure, fewer deaths possibly? Or at the same time, it could have made things worse from being too comfortable as you said... Ah psychology, such a strange thing.
Also, is it just me or are distracting thoughts really not as distracting as they seem? Somehow, I always manage to dodge hard stuff when I go in expecting to die, or get close to the end and think I might capture/clear the card/boss. You'd think it'd ruin my performance or something, but for some reason it usually doesn't...

i find that distracting thoughts often help my performance, even if they have nothing to do with playing. sometimes my mind goes through prerecorded thought chains that sync with the stage (i.e. when this set of fairies comes on screen, i think about a conversation i had with a friend). i guess it just keeps me from overthinking patterns and takes my mind off the stress of how many lives i have left
i don't think that's the kind of distracting thought you were talking about though, but you know
-
Also, since I just noticed, happy birthday BSoD!
:D :D :D
Anyway, finally cleared all of StB level 6 today! Finally! Now, onward, to level 7! (in which I already have two scenes done)
-
Just 1cc'd EoSD Normal Reimu A. For the first time ever. I'm so happy right now. I think I'm a bit too bomb-happy during stages 5 & 6.
I want to try out Flandre this minute, but I promised I'd save her for my friends.

:D :D :D

Sorry. I'm blind. I saw your end-game screen as 0 lives and 4 bombs. I'm used to see lives above bombs so.. congratulations on a default resources 1cc... that I haven't even done. :V

The player girl goes "pyuu pyuu pyuu pyuu", and won't even lose when it's haaaaard.
When she gets hit, she starts all again, it's the nintendonut destinyyyyy.
The extra boss goes "kero kero" and somehow she wins every tiiiiime.
But eventually she'll lose, spell card by card, it is the extra boss destinyyyyy.
It is the extra boss destinyyyyy. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12694)
No I don't have any shame, why do you ask?

EoSD lunatic 1cc, this time with default lives. This is the 2nd time I've cleared it.
Ended with 0/0 resource as I panic bomb away anything remaining near the end of Scarlet Gensokyo.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12695
Sakuya's and Remillia's last cards are seriously freaking hard.
Also, somehow I lost 2 lives in stages 3/4/5/6, no more no less, for some reason :V
-
Made it up to midboss Eirin on Lunatic. Alright, next we go for the 1cc!
-
An accomplishment list? Alright then. Only posting about Lunatic mode and Extra too.
All Extra's cleared except for SoEW but who can blame me about that one.
Perfect Suwako. Perfect Nue. Perfect Ran. Perfect: All Stage 1,2 3 bosses, Prismriver Sisters, Marisa, Aya, Satori (ReimuA), Murasa, Youmu, Sanae, Orin, Yuyuko, Kanako and Utsuho. In addition to that i have timed out a crapload of difficult spellcards including VoWG and Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana.

And all scenes beaten in StB and DS. In DS, I have beaten every scene with both characters.
It is the extra boss destinyyyyy. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12694)
I would make a comment about how you died in the beginning of the stage just be a jackass but considering how pointless it in fact is i'll just refrain from doing so and say congratulations for perfecting Suwako. Good job, i have no idea how to do Houei Era too.

Watch his improved 1cc on Youtube. He enters Shou 5.75/0.66 and exits Shou 6/0.66
-
It happened in a 1cc huh? Lucky bastard. I'd have to grind it out to achieve such.
EDIT:
2DNB Shou. One miss on Radiant Treasure Gun. This card irritates me. Not because its bullshit or anything cause' its not but because i used to have consistency on the thing. I even managed to make a timeout of the thing. And today, despite the greater level of skill I have gained since then, i don't have a chance. Spell practice would've been very neat here. Sigh...
Oh and i also missed on Vajra of Perfect BS. Its like a shitty version of Ketsui 2-4s final attack.

even with the continues, that is pretty awesome. nice going. i dread the day i move on to hard mode in UFO
-
Whoops... :V
Perfected stage 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
As soon as I got to Shou (with max lives and 3-4 bombs), things started going downhill. Failed all her spellcards (normally, I don't have trouble with any of them) by not being able to deathbomb 4 times. Same thing with Byakuren. Died at Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri" ....
-
Randomly cleared PCB Phantasm again.
Only this time, at 90FPS~ (And SakuyaB, but I only used 16 bombs; the reason I use her is because of her having the fastest focused movement speed. Reimu and Marisa can still get more than 16 bombs throughout the stage, so)
And I beat my highscore that I had with SakuyaB :V
recording brb
-
Perrfected Ex Kogasa o:
Goddamnit. Now to perfect the entire stage portion :(
-
Do it at 90FPS.
Well-
EX Kogasa is pretty cruel at first. So, congrats.
EDIT
Yukari at 90FPS. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCUfQR7q_7Q)
-
Hmm, cool. Just did a 2DNB of Byakuren. Died on Purple Omen and Devil's Recitation. I swear for the life of me I can never find a consistent way to do Purple Omen. Still, that's a new record.
-
Ah finally Ive cleared SA extra with every shottype....well except for reimu A but Ive got my reasons for that :V Basically a friend of mine wants to do it with reimu A and im not unlocking for them :derp:
-
It was 3 in the morning. I needed to go to sleep, since I have work later. I decided to play Fairy Wars Normal expecting to die soon.
Never expected to make it to Stage 3. Didn't make it to the three fairies though.
-
Captured "Silent Selene" in EoSD Extra for the first time :) I don't even try on "Royal Flare", though.
Darnit, I want PCB ;__; Unfotunately my parents are like "NO you can't have another game you're already addicted to the one you've got >:(" so I'l have to wait a bit for that.
-

Ufufufufu
EDIT: PCB Extra 90FPS. First try too, yay!
-
IN Lunatic 3cc (that's two continues, right?)
First continue was on the mini-stage portion between Marisa fights, second was on Omoikane's Brain.
...that was kinda fun!
-
[22:43] <Kogasa-Donutatara> Oh hell yes
[22:44] <Kogasa-Donutatara> Stage 6 Yuka perfected, at max rank, with Reimu A
[22:44] <Kogasa-Donutatara> ...And no video. ;_;
But still! \o/ Now I just need to tackle Reimu.
:colonveeplusalpha:
-
...that was kinda fun!
Yes, wasn't it? Play some more Lunatic and watch your improving speed up.
-
Brought my laptop to my school's game club and played some Touhou. (someone actually knew what it was! o/)
I capped QED for the first time.
In front of people.
:o
-
QED is pretty hard so thumps up for that! How was everyone's reaction? :V
-
I've never bothered to actually capture QED. The closest I've ever gotten to it was when I entered it 0/0 on my attempts when I was first trying to clear it.
-
I cleared Flandre one time, which is on my youtube. I since have never touched that stage afterward. I cleared it on March 30th last year so it's been nearly a year since. Shows you how much I hate that stage huh?
So that would be 0/2 on my QED record. :(
-
I captured BoWaP! ...On Normal. But STILL!
...Of course I still have yet to capture DBDB...
-
I've never bothered to actually capture QED. The closest I've ever gotten to it was when I entered it 0/0 on my attempts when I was first trying to clear it.
Then go do it and submit the results to the score tournament. :D You should be able to get it pretty fast. I got it in 6 attempts back then and I'm positive that you're way better than I was back then. VoWG Lunatic timeout and all that.
-
QED is pretty hard so thumps up for that! How was everyone's reaction? :V
"Oh, cool."
They really only cared about the score :V
Well except for the one person who recognized it. That made me feel awesome.
Here's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12761) the replay, if you're interested. That's probably my highest score ever, too.
That death on ATTWBN made me sad.
-
After my once-a-year chance at perfecting Remilia failed miserably, I went to try again. I captured Scarlet Meister. Again.
:o
Never mind how the rest of the run went.
-
[11:55] <LHCling> YES
[11:55] <LHCling> YES
[11:55] <LHCling> YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[11:55] <LHCling> OMG
[11:55] <LHCling> 0/1
[11:55] <LHCling> FUCK YEARRRRRRRRRRRR
[11:55] <@Naut> gj baitums
[11:55] <LHCling> i don't beat my score but I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
UFO Extra No Vert. Video later. Replay withheld until then.
EDIT: stoppit jerks :<
-
After my once-a-year chance at perfecting Remilia failed miserably, I went to try again. I captured Scarlet Meister.
Gratz =). I hate that card, I can't even capture its normal equivalent.
-
I just beat PCB extra for the THIRD time (second time with Marisa A) despite not playing it seriously since November. It was a crappy clear and all but...
I managed to capture Izuna Gongen. With the safe spot :V. I know I shouldn't consider this an accomplishment, but I'm just surprised that I even FOUND the safe spot.
-
I finally caught a Last Word spell (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12740) pretty recently.
-
Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvOtB8JSAsQ). Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12771).
-
My first time getting there, I cleared Byakuren's last two spell cards without bombs and dieing, cause I had neither at that point. Her attack where she throws curvy lasers and stars at you and the attack where she flies around in a circle shooting at you gave me the most trouble xD. Devil's Recitation I cleared through pure dumb luck. And I had a lot, LOT of practice with Flying Fantastica from DS. It's so much easier when they don't turn into knives. I have now beaten all the main games at least once and with Marisa. Except for SA where I had to use Reimu and Yukari, cause I can't get past Yuugi with Malice :V
-
Her attack where she throws curvy lasers and stars at you and the attack where she flies around in a circle shooting at you gave me the most trouble xD.
Curvy lasers used to mess me up too, but then I saw a timeout replay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88u-X7Vobt8) of it and realized it's easier if you just do it vertically. Her circle around the screen nonspell is on my bomb-through list <_<.
-
Ha...ha...ha...
Hisoutensoku Sanae lunatic 1cc.
Never...again. Ugh.
After rewatching it, this run isn't so much a victory as a bunch of coincidences that ended up giving me just enough to win. If even one of those didn't happen, I would have crashed and burned. This is totally worth uploading.
-
IN Lunatic again.
Made it to stage 6 on one credit.
I picked final B by accident, and game overed on Kayuga's first spellcard. orz
HOWEVER, after I practice Eirin and Keine a bit, I think an IN Lunatic 1cc is within reach.
-
Captured Imperishable Shooting, Scarlet Destiny, and Hourai Elixir (Lunatic) last night.
I don't even.... :X
-
Video of my SWRS Sanae lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JeysPw0ezs). I think it turned out pretty entertaining myself. Also I experimented with increasing the quality, and it seems to have worked. :D
-
Beat Johnny Walker's Beatrice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukA938Z3GbM) script on Lunatic (UFO ReimuA). Damn that boss is fun...
-
Aah, revenge is sweet. I eventually determined that Evil Eye Sigma at max rank is just stupid, and decided to do another run where I purposefully knock the rank down a life. Perfected on my second try. :V
-
Beat Johnny Walker's Beatrice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukA938Z3GbM) script on Lunatic (UFO ReimuA). Damn that boss is fun...
I haven't even done that yet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-7Xe-nQehA), nice :V
-
Perfect IN Lunatic Stage 3 again (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12799)
It's nice that I managed to get another one of these with how horrible I am at Ephemerality 137. I also handle the stage more aggressively than my original perfect of the stage. I did almost mess up a few times on stuff. Still need a lot of practice here and on the other stages if I want to get that No Bombs 1cc.
-

I haven't even done that yet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-7Xe-nQehA), nice :V
I also just beat it.
It's freaking awesome, definitely fitting for a powerful witch like my predecessor.
-
I just captured Asteroid Belt 5 times in a row.
Edit: Grinded it some more in Spell Practice.
Went from 1/99 record for Border Team in Spell Practice to 51/210 record in Spell Practice.
Not even close to where I'm wanting it, and it should have been higher with all the last second derps, derps in general. Still need to work on it some.
Also, got it 6 times in a row once.
-
I finally 1cc'd Fairy Wars on Normal (A1 Route) after having the worst run ever. Started the last stage with around 650% Motivation and then died so many stupid deaths to Sunny and random fireballs that I only had around 150% when I got to the 3 fairies and then still managed to beat them. In my previous run I had 700 Motivation when starting the fight and still lost so you can probably imagine how happy I was when I actually managed to win.
-
Just gonna leave this here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW3jRFbnTa8&fmt=18)
-
Drunken Shim... now that sounds like some good entertainment. I'll be looking forward to watching it when I get home.
-
Just gonna leave this here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW3jRFbnTa8&fmt=18)
This is the greatest thing ever.
Just sayin'.

Drunk Shim run. One of the best Touhou runs I've ever watched :D
-
Just gonna leave this here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW3jRFbnTa8&fmt=18)
This is the best thing I've seen all day.
-
Ah so I reached stage 6 in eosd lunatic on 1cc :V I didn't clear it but it's a good amount a progress. One day ill have my first lunatic 1cc but till then time to keep practicing.
-
Not a lunatic accomplishment, but FIRST EVER EXTRA CLEAR \o\ (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12854)
Fujiyama Volcano was a nightmare, but other than that, I was pleasantly surprised. Even moreso due to the fact that I saw Imperishable Shooting. :o

Fujiyama Volcano was a nightmare
I actually do it right here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9MD5jc3VJc&feature=player_detailpage#t=680s) FV is tough, but if you know how to do it it's actually only tricky in one or two places.

Congratz on your first clear!

Went into Hourai Doll on my last life with no bombs, captured it for the first time =). Youmu/Yuyuko Extra clear.
EDIT: Cleared with Sakuya/Remilia now too. Unlocked all last words =3.
-
I no longer consider this card a forced death/bomb for me, but it's still kind of likely to be (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12858)
Perfect Lunatic Reisen, too bad I fucked up the stage part preventing it from being a stage perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12859)
-
Playing EoSD Hard, with Reimu B for the...first time. Managed to make it to Patchouli. That stage almost made me ragequit, though.

Everything in that stage is learnable except the Books. I've one-bombed it on Lunatic with ReimuA.

I have a lot of the stage memorized, but during that run, every time I tried to lightly go in one direction, I move more than I wanted, nearly crashing into a bullet. I think the books nearly got me.
-
IN Lunatic No Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12868)
Fucking terrible though.

DIdn't take you long. Nice work. I'll watch it when I get home.
-
I'm uploading it to Youtube right now.
-
Oh good. Be waiting for that then.
-
Beat PCB Phantasm 90FPS again, only with MarisaA and with only 6 or 8 or so bombs. And 5 deaths. 9 spellcard captures, too; even Curse of Dreams and Reality(!).
Recording, brb.
-
MoF Hard 1cc Clear.
Really crappy runthough though. I bombed through anything and everything, capturing exactly one card per stage...
-
Woot! StB level 7 all clear! (7-5 was giving me trouble) I'm happy now. Off and on playing of this game is very successful.
Now 8 next. :ohdear:
-
Just captured Ageless Obsession with my eyes closed. Not that that's really much of an accomplishment, but it's always amusing when a card can be captured like that. :3
-
I captured Kaguya's 4th Last Spell a few times in Spell Practice using the scoring method. The thought of having to get it at the end of a run though would probably cause me to screw it up.
Outside of that, not much else in the realm of IN scoring outside of getting a little better at the Three Treasures milking. I'll watch some scoring replays soon. Not sure if I'll stick with Border team, or switch to Netherworld Team or Scarlet Team. Scarlet Team would require me to relearn the game entirely, but IIRC it's the best scoring team, but then I'd have to learn a really hard stage 4 boss and midboss fight instead of the mostly easy Marisa.
Also, not an accomplishment yet, but Remilia's damage seems to help quite a bit against a few of Kaguya's spells, though Scarlet Team hitbox does not. I never took the thought seriously before, but I may try to perfect FinalB, all 5 Last Spells included. The hard part with Scarlet Team seems more actually getting the Last Spell rush, which I've never captured all 5 in a row. I have not no miss no bombed her yet(though I got close once with border team).
Scarlet Team also trivializes Earth in a Pot, and Omoikane Brain, so although I have no plans to perfect Eirin, I might try to actually no death the stage sometime.

The scores on Royalflare don't agree. Youmu-solo, Magic Team, and Netherworld Team hold the top three places. After that it's a mix of Border Team and Netherworld Team until you get to 9th place, where Scarlet Team finally makes a showing.
-
I captured Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo in the same run and got a replay of it.
Sadly, I was playing on Hard.

Stop looking at Royalflare; the highest-scoring runs aren't on there. (Try here (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/High_scores).) On Lunatic, Scarlet Team was the only team that had achieved over 6 billion points for a long time, until recently when there was an even higher-scoring Youmu run. Scarlet Team also holds second place on Hard.
There's little doubt that Youmu has the greatest scoring potential, though, but Scarlet Team is up there.

SA HARD 1CC REIMU A WITH 4 LIVES REMAINING!!!!
(I still havent cleared MoF hard or SA Reimu A normal yet :D)
Replay will be posted if wanted.
Also this was my first 1cc and I had no practice within a week.
-
Good job. I suppose you can dodge rain then.
-
So yeah, here's a new challenge for you all. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12899)
IN's extra stage without shooting is freaking impossible, and also amazingly fun. This was my 5th try and I can say that clearing this one day will be my best achievement ever.
(PS: All normal bombing is planned bombing, and the hakurei orbs before the fairies before Keine have to be streamed vertically.)
-
interesting challenge there. At first I thought I could deal with the pre-Keine Stage portion without bombs. What I didn't know was that those things never ever stop firing. Standard IN-tradecraft. Perfect pacifism? No way.
So. After planning when to use bombs I managed to survive your challenge and get to Mokou with two lives in stock. I wouldn't be able to pacify her entire fight with that level of resources so I just cleared her normally ending. It was a poor Mokou run due to rustiness but whatever.
-
pacifist challenge
planned bombs
uhhh
-
Yeah, planned bombs on a pacifist challenge. Problems? :V
But in all seriousness, I wouldn't be able to do make it through this stage without shooting/bombing in a bajillion years. And many people wouldn't either. Hell, the fairies in the beggining are pretty impossible when combined together... Plus these god-forsaken ying-yang orbs :ohdear:
-
uhhh
In this case the bombs are necessary. I for one would like to see how you would handle the stuff that happens on the IN Extra Stage if you don't bomb.
-
IN Extra pacifist with bombs has been done, but it should be fun to try nonetheless.
edit: Wait, the one I was thinking was just pacifist Mokou with bombs, not the stage too. Hmm.
-
Man, everyone should go and play this danmakufu script. (http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/P/so/84494)
It's like a combination of Touhou, Cave and Yagawa and it's beyond awesome (it even has a reddo (rank) gauge! :*).
The scoring system is also pretty kick-ass.
Already 1cc'd Standard and Advanced but Unlimited mode is something else.
It doesn't let me practice stage 6 even after 1cc'ing it though, not sure what's up with that.

Oh, that is FUN! There's way too many cool designs in there. Just too bad I can't get rid of lag from danmakufu, which makes the last stage's stage portion incredibly slow. Ah well. (first run I continued 3 times on standard. hoping for better (and less lag))

Not bad, not bad at all. It was like Phantasm Romance, but...not. The gameplay was much improved (though there were still a lot of silly sudden death attacks only death bombs saved me from), but sadly the music is not near as engaging. Also I have a feeling I'm never going to get to see the extra stage this time. :( Anyway, sightread 1cc'd standard mode, though my lives began dwindling fast near the end.

Aha~ I feel stupid. I totally missed that captcha. If it had been a bullet, it would've put me to sleep, and then somehow killed me anyway. 'Cuz, y'know, my luck's like that. Downloading~ waiting warmly~ ♫~
-
Also, what does all these bars do? (Red and those at the bottom of the screen)
First one is point items. It fills, everything clears and you get an extend on the middle of the screen.
Second one is multiplier items. Same happens but you get a bomb.
Third one is graze. When it fills every bullet is now a multiplier item.

Congratulatioooooooooooooons! \o/ *happy dance*
(off-topic, sorry) I wish I could willingly ignore score.. trying to attain and maintain x999 (for those who don't know, you can use the C button to convert point items into multiplier items up to a maximum of x999) and then going for point items is killing me.. I don't know when the graze cancel is going to be activated, or how much harm would bombing do to my score potential/multiplier.. and to make this paragraph more off-topic.. what are the differences between the modes? (are there Extra stages like in Phantasm Romance?)
I seriously wanna merge the Phantasm Romance score thread with this game, but for this I'd have to know if this is the "final" version of this script (so I don't have to "invalidate" scores from previous versions later)..
edit: thank you for the information, Zengar ^__^
-
Testing unlimited mode on stages 1-5, it seems like they're almost completely different games. The differences between difficulty levels is much larger than in official Touhou games, and in many cases the bosses are completely different. Also, I don't think it's right to merge this with Phantasm Romance; the characters used (on standard mode) and general stage design may be similar, but it's more taking the ideas from Phantasm Romance and retooling them into a different game altogether.
Different...completely...games...
/me checks thesaurus while grumbling
-
Here's what I've ascertained out of the scoring system so far:
It's a combination of chaining and increasing the multiplier with gold. The chaining meter in the lower-right corner can be maintained by shooting enemies and picking up point items. If the meter drops your multiplier will drop like a rock.
When you stop shooting, an aura will surround you that will convert point items to gold. Once you reach a 999 multiplier on Advanced and Unlimited, enemies will spawn a ton of suicide bullets and you gain a different aura that will duplicate point items that you touch.
POC'ing will increase the rank. Collecting gold and bombing reduces the rank. Dying does not surprisingly.

Whoever said I was good at dodging?! I captured her first 4 cards which really set things in motion. Maze of Love needs to die in a fire, though. I get better results by micrododging at the screen's edge. Let's see now, that makes 6 extra bosses thus far.
-
Tried that script Jaimers linked me to and it has some pretty cool bosses but pretty repetetive stages. Jus' too bad vsync doesn't work for me. Couldn't even 1cc the easiest setting. Got to the final boss though and she had cool attacks but as I only had one life I couldn't make it.
I didn't like the 6th stage though. Those blocks kept trapping me.

Decided to boot up IN and play Extra with Magic team out of the blue. Somehow managed to clear it in one try. (Well, three, but the first one I messed up colelction and decided to restart, and the second one I died before the midboss and decided to restart).
Somehow, I managed to fail Flying Phoenix and Flaw of Forgiven Shrine, then proceeded to capture Fujiyama Volcano. And Hourai Doll too, but that card is pathetically easy for me nowadays.
-
Alright, now play it with Scarlet Team for the tournament! :D

Sure, if you just die instead then things are passable. I was thinking about perfect pacifism (not dying, bombing or shooting) being impossible and indeed believe it to be so. Especially since some enemies just never stops shooting. However, reaching Mokou without bombing or shooting - still allowing deaths, would still be pretty cool.
-
Especially since some enemies just never stops shooting.
They're static, can already get through the first batch without bombs reliably, second batch (ones after midboss keine) are being worked on
-
Well, if you can produce some good results i'd love to see it. :)
-
I'll show you my current path through the first batch when I get home (I fail the dodgem section immediately after though, suckplayer and such). I game over pretty much immediately on the second batch but I only bothered saving the one replay (which happened to be my first successful pass through the first batch of "impossible" enemies) so you can't really see the progress I've made on the second section yet :V
Let's just say it's possible and y'alls need to be less quick to judge things as impossible without putting any effort into it.
-
How do you even :/
Watched a Nico video, I'm not sure either anymore.
------------------
ステージの流れ
------------------
StandardとAdvancedは前作同様に一定条件を満たすと突入可能となる隠しエリアがありますが
Unlimitedのみそれらが存在せず、純粋に6ステージのみとなる形です
Standard・Advanced
Area1 ─→ Area2 ─→ Area3 ─┐ ┌─→ Area5 ──→ Area6
↓ ├→ Area4 ↑
UnseenArea1┘ └→UnseenArea2┴→ UnseenArea3
Unlimited
Area1 ─→ Area2 ─→ Area3 ─→ Area4 ─→Area5 ─→ Area6
According to this I guessed that you had to No Miss the first two stages, but it didn't work when I tried it.
Also I figured out something neat: by double tapping shot when you are at 999 multiplier on Advanced and Unlimited it clears the screen and fills it with point items but halves your multiplier. However if you do it while going through the POC and not shooting you restore it to 999. Very important for both survival and score at max rank.
-
i can reach Mokou without shooting and bombing btw.
the biggest issue is the fairies near the end, i am talking about the ones before the death fairy,thats a hard part ,if u have a route i would like to see it.

Stage 2: 4 bombs on cirno (this was terrible x.x)
Stage 3: 2 deaths (1 in stage 1 at meiling)
Stage 4: 1 death on patchy
Stage 5: 2 deaths (1 in stage 1 at sakuya)
Stage 6: the worst part here was the fact that i died to the opening bubble in scarlet gensokyo >.> I couldve gotten full power and cleared the bullets too. owell
Finished 0/0 :derp: This is worse than usual due to me being crazy nervous. For those interested: Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12962)

What the hell you doofus. You still need to prove its doable. :V The part after the initial spam that is. Is the red/blue bullet spam static too maybe? It doesn't look like it to me but I haven't really investigated it.
-
FINALLY EOSD LUNATIC 1CC!
Good job. You even passed 99.9% of Scarlet Gensokyo without dying!
The no-death stage 4 was also something I still can't manage to do.
I really should try Marisa A lunatic someday; maybe her attack strength really is that much more than Marisa B.
Still I'm impressed that even with the early deaths
Early deaths seem to be quite common
In my first 1cc, I died twice in each of the stages 3,4,5,6 :V

It's not atatic, but isn't too difficult to dodge. The only problem is finding a path through the endless shooting guys after Keine, the rest is pretty easily doable.

Which you demonstrated by dying. :V

2 extends on stage 1 of LLS! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUOgYZ6j86U) Goal complete! I'm pretty sure this is the only game where this is possible aside from UFO, which doesn't care about point items with its extends anyway. SoEW *might* be possible, but I can't see it happening with no bomb auto-collect (feel free to prove me wrong!), and I'm not counting PoFV because on stage 1 the AI's too stupid to live through 1 extend, let alone 2.

Five previous attempts met their end on Q.E.D and one time I "almost" captured it. This time I played it safe and bombed the hell out of it.

-
Finally cleared PCB extra for the first time ever. Not looking forward to Phantasm though...
Congratz!! Don't fear too much though, Phantasm is basically Extra with a harder stage. I'd say Yukari's 2nd (unique, replaces general gods), 4th (charming seige clone), 5th (princess tenko clone), and 8th (ran [chen clone]) cards are actually easier than Ran's. The rest are basically slightly tougher clones due to more/faster bullets, but they're nothing unbearable. You also have 8 lives to work with if you make the 800 point extend (and 385 of those items come from Yukari), so between that, your bombs, and your borders... You get the idea.
-

Not to forget Yukari has one extra Spell Card for you to go through.
Congrats on clearing Extra, though. PCB was my very first extra clear.

Yukari's last spell is static though and can be memorized. Also, Midboss Ran's 1st card is easier.

I want to say her second too. Less dense, faster bullets as opposed to micrododging Chen's first wave. Also, concerning Yukari's last spell, if you go in with one bomb and a 2 lives and a bomb (2/2 with Marisa, 2/0 with Sakuya), you can just bomb the waves after the bullets appear and it'll be impossible to fail your run.

Don't you only need 5 bombs? there are 5 waves of bullets, right? and you can cheese through by bombing away those bullets.
Oh, and somehow I dodged lunatic Scarlet Meister to 03 seconds. Damn you Remillia, stop moving away from me.
-
You just need a total of at least 5 resources to cheese a victory against the spell if you don't bother to dodge the waves.
So at least 1/2 with Marisa, 1/1 with Reimu, or 1/0 for Sakuya is the minimum to guarantee a victory if you plan to death and bombspam the spell.

So that's half of level 8 down. 1, 2, 6, and 8. Now for the harder ones.

Having been sidetracked by Pokemon White for a month, it'll take me time to properly get back into Touhou. However, I took a random run of SA Stage 5 Lunatic this morning to see if I could still scorerun it. Even with my skills as rusty as they are, it took a mere two tries to hit my target graze count by boss-Orin (I messed up the stage opener on the first). I never would have guessed I'd retain the ability to do something like that. I only wish I had the time to continue much off this - real life has caught up to me again. ::)
-
I actually tried to play Imperishable Night with only my right hand a few days ago.
Yes, I failed horribly. :colonveeplusalpha:
Which convinced me to try as well. I failed in a different way... Reflexively slamming my left hand onto the X button for a deathbomb T_T. Replay anyway (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13062). I would say lol easy mode, but this is my first pacifist clear of any game. Actually... Lol easy mode.
-
As of this moment, I have cleared every single scene in Shoot the Bullet. :D
-
@AJS Congratulations! :) That is pretty tough!
I finally beat Koishi today! 8D A pretty lulzy finish (smacked right in the face with my 2nd to last life during the exploding) but finally an extra clear @_@ ! Many thanks to Raak for the tips and what not :V

DS 12-6 with Aya! Then I'll have cleared every scene with both Aya and Hatate!
-
So after a pretty long hiatus from shmups in general, I played a little bit of Phantasmagoria Trues just now.
Managed to perfect the stage 4 and 5 boss on Unlimited Mode back to back.
Last time I checked they were kicking my ass. Taking a break improves your skills I guess. :V
EDIT:
Also the whole stuttering problem from before seems fixed now now that I have a new graphics card. :toot:
-
All the UFO "discussion" inspired me to play the demo again. Finished it 2/1, which isn't too bad all things considered. I really should start saving my income better so that I can buy the full version and get some more efficient practice in.
-
Taking a break improves your skills I guess. :V
I see this all the time, from video games to piano. By not playing for a while, you forget any mistakes/bad habits you may have developed, more so than forgetting your good skills (and any of which you lost could be regained with a bit of extra playing).
-
3 deaths, no bombs to EoSD Extra. The deaths were at the books, Maze of Love, and ATWTBN.
Why is this in the accomplishments? I broke my high score, I captured QED fort the first time, and I can totally perfect this shit.
-
I beat Kogasa's first boss card on Lunatic with ReimuB. I've managed every part without dying or bombing up to her second boss card now (including stage 1).

POFV LUNATIC 1CC WITH MARISA ! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13087)
First lunatic 1cc ever YAY !
I had enough luck to win against Shiki today !
However, this run is not that good, lots of "running in a bullet :D" and all...
But ahaha.wav I defeated Shiki.

(http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7900/konngaratulation.jpg) (http://img821.imageshack.us/i/konngaratulation.jpg/)
As for me, I just 1cc'd Phantasmagoria Trues on Unlimited mode I guess.
TLB
didn't show up this time though oddly enough. Not sure what triggers it.
-
Just 1cc'd my second extra stage ever - IN. (First was PCB of course). Didn't see final spell, but that's fine, I wouldn't have survived it anyway.
This means I have now 1cc'd everything in IN aside from Lunatic, but still can't beat normal on SA or UFO. That's just not right.
-
Instead of sleeping I got my Touhou Youyoumu - Bomb Label Lunatic 1cc with SakuyaA. First lunatic done with 5 starting lives as usual, finished with 2 and a bomb. Probably could have had the 3 lives remaining to call it a true 1cc if I didn't die to Yuyuko's bubbles on her second nonspell... That was just embarassing <_<. Ironically Touhou 7 is also my 7th Lunatic =p.
-
First IN Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13096)
Considering I haven't played IN in about a month... :o
-
Sweet. How about Double Spoiler? You done that?
Not yet, but I'm planning to. That is my next goal... (next to defeating GFW Marisa, who's raped me so many times that I haven't bothered facing her lately @_@)
Anyway, I don't wanna post here "empty-handed", so I might as well report my first-time capture of Flan's Q.E.D. the other day. :D
-
I guess my latest accomplishment would be clearing PCB on Lunatic with Reimu-B for the first time, though I have to admit that there was a bit of luck involved since I couldn't handle the red waves of the final spellcard to save my life. Wound up having to face the last two waves without any bombs or borders, then survived them by some miracle. After the last one, I also got my last extra life at 1200 point items, I kind of felt like someone was trying to mock me.
PCB sure seemed much, much harder than IN, took me a long time to finally clear it. At least I could improve my Extra and Phantasm runs afterwards.
Oh, well, now I can move on to EoSD and proceed in chronological order afterwards, hurray!
-
Instead of sleeping I got my Touhou Youyoumu - Bomb Label Lunatic 1cc
Nononono, It's MoF that's Touhou Bomb Label. ;) And semi-congrats on your victory. You'll receive the full version when you get your default lives clear - Considering that you have 6 other Lunatics under your belt I'm confident on your behalf that you can do it.
Oh, well, now I can move on to EoSD and proceed in chronological order afterwards, hurray!
EoSD Is a tough nut to crack. Especially compared to IN and PCB. Good luck. You'll need it.

Sorry, Border Label*. 3 lives will definitely take a lot more effort though, since I'm counting 1ccs with any amount of starting lives - the only defaults I have right now are PoFV, IaMP, SWR, and a "would have if I started with 3" MS. PoFV is mostly luck and two of those are fighters =p. I will definitely try to get it though. The 5 life clear took all of two attempts with SakuyaA, she really makes that game a joke as far as survival goes.
-

Haha, thanks! Yes, I can tell, so far I've managed to get to stage 5 and the game is still rather simple in terms of strategy (at least it doesn't seem to require nearly as much as PCB and IN, especially in stage 3, 4 and 5), but it more than makes up for that with certain parts in which you really need your reflexes to be good enough if you don't want to die (the books right before Koakuma being an excellent example, Jesus Christ, I hate them). Certainly seems like the switch from Lunatic PCB to EoSD is going to be much harder then Hard PCB to EoSD. Still, I'm quite motivated, I'd like to clear all Lunatic Modes before the next game is released, so I still have a bit more than 4 months.
-
I got EoSD before PCB, but I suck at PCB.
-
I know this isn't amazing but I finally reached stage 5 on Lunatic in EoSD. I've completed EoSD, PCB and IN on normal. Using only MarisaB for each game, sorry not a fan of homing shot and Marisa is my 2nd favorite char so I'm of course going to choose her. I can take on Lunatic in soku using Alice.
-
Gave IaMP a random run today. I don't particularly like that game because the controls are a little "out there". So I practiced as Suika for a while, then got a normal 1cc on my first try. Gosh, Reimu's last spell is a pain. Every time I got up from being knocked down, she made hits on me and put me back down. I didn't even have a chance to do anything yet. Ah well, I still beat it. :D
-
After 26 total tries, I finally captured Unilateral Contact!
Now to work on Kokkuri-san's Contract

Border Label. Didn't think of that. That was a good one. :)
Well your lack of default lives 1cc's doesn't mean much when it comes to IN since you have a clear with MS. And let's face it, doing a lunatic run with five starting lives is still just as good as a normal one if you just finish with those extra lives in stock.
Put in that effort. Win big. Learn the stages, bomb the rest, 1cc get.

GFW Normal A-1
UFO Normal Sanae A
EoSD Hard Reimu B
3 new 1CC's today well I did UFO Normal with Sanae B before but not A

-
Touhouvania 2 Phantasm stage, hard mode (there is no lunatic mode)
Had to take remilia, flandre, and the stopwatch.
no lives lost. No-Death bonus of 30,000 points gotten.
I feel bad for spamming Remi at both Ran and Yukari, especially when Yukari is so easy in that game...meh, I still feel accomplished.
-
Wow this was a bitch to upload. HD would have taken 9 hours so here's shit quality instead.
Marisa A PCB Extra Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZ5zNQa7NY)
This is my first extra clear.
Mountain of Faith Extra clear with Reimu A
Video coming once internet and youtube stops sucking.
Imperishable night is probably next, or PCB Phantasm. IN's furthest is hourai doll. Phantasm is Shikigami Ran. I still need to work on phantasm's stage portion (lol stupid deaths) :V
All my extra clears are done in school, does this mean I get further when under pressure? :o
-
I've been playing touhou for a year now! :D
And while my greatest accomplishment is still the Lunatic Shizuha timeout :ohdear: ... I got the UFO extra clear today! Yay! I only managed to get 1 extra life out of the UFO's in the stage, and it was my first time getting past Rainbow UFO. I'm happy with this, it's totally surreal.
This leaves only EoSD extra out of the windows games.
I also got the SA Normal 1cc with Marisa/Nitori. Which means I've 1cc'd Normal with every shot-type in EoSD, PCB, PoFV, MoF, SA and UFO (only done all teams in IN).
-

"Out there", how so? I think the most complex inputs in IaMP (or any of the fighters actually) are just 623 (shoryuken) inputs... Anyway, concerning Reimu, some of her bullets hit through block so you should probably graze on wakeup for that spell. It is a bitch though, way harder than Suika's last spell. My suggestion is don't worry about getting hit and just try to hit Reimu instead, 66, hj9, jb her, fall, repeat. If you have missing purple power with you, that would probably do the trick as well - that or your giant hitbox would get you slaughtered... I should try that...
EDIT: Nevermind, you don't even get enough time to declare on that card. Though if you could it'd probably be really easy <_<.
Border Label. Didn't think of that. That was a good one. :)
Well your lack of default lives 1cc's doesn't mean much when it comes to IN since you have a clear with MS. And let's face it, doing a lunatic run with five starting lives is still just as good as a normal one if you just finish with those extra lives in stock.
Put in that effort. Win big. Learn the stages, bomb the rest, 1cc get.
IN =(. I think I made Hourai elixir with 4 lives and finished with 1 life no bombs when I did that one... MS was actually quite easy imo - the only tough parts are Shinki, Yumeko, Yuki's bulletspam phase, and maybe a bit of stage 4 if you misjudge your hitbox a little on the icicles. Stages 1-3 are pretty much a NDNB. That's all Mima though, it might be harder with someone else. I'll work on PCB ReimuB a bit and hopefully have it by the end of this week - if not, I'll go back to SakuyaA since I won't have the Tourney holding me to Reimu.
-
By out there, I mean much different than SWR and Hisoutensoku, which simplified it IMO. The close and far differentiating in IaMP for A and B keys is confusing to judge with. And the way spells are used and bombs are used are a bit trickier than SWR. I don't like IaMP as much, but I'm getting into it again. Suika FTW! <3
-
I don't like IaMP as much, but I'm getting into it again. Suika FTW! <3

GFW (<- only one I really care about at this point)
-
why are you playing fighting games against the cpu
Because I can. :/
Well for one, on IaMP, I'm no where near good enough to fight a person unless they also suck. And two, on the later fighters, I'm busy re-unlocking spell cards since I realized that I messed up. I had Hisoutensoku in it's own folder pointing to SWR in another folder. Doing that makes some spell cards not unlockable, until you put hisoutensoku in the SWR folder. BUT, you have to wipe the score.dat to do that, so I'm going through it all over again.
On a side note, Remilia normal 1cc in IaMP. She makes Pandemonium too easy, at least on normal. <3
-
On a side note, Remilia normal 1cc in IaMP
Now do Meiling in arcade mode lunatic :D
-
Guess who didn't notice that Touhoumaniac had uploaded a score.dat file and went to unlock stage practice for SanaeA on his own?
Well, that would be me. I spent the entirity of Tuesday and Wednesday playing UFO. That ought to make Naut happy.
I got this Hard 1cc that I thought was really cool so I decided to upload it. You can see it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikNQVCs804c).
You can also get the replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13170).
Highlights? Perfect Shou. The keyboard doing pranks on me. Lots of improvisation due to long absence from the game. I still somehow manage to get a lot of lives. Maybe the run would be good as an instructional video for those struggling with UFO Hard.
Which for the record isn't as Hard as the other games on Lunatic. :V (Except for PCB)
This would mean that i've 1cc'd this on Hard with everyone but the Marisa's.
-
Just no-missed GFW Extra stage portion. I'm not getting wrecked quite as badly by her early nonspells, neither, so yeah. Might get yet another new extra clear in the near future.
-
Has anyone 1cc'd Flanchan.zip yet? I'm watching random Youtube vids of it and it looks disgustingly hard.

Just perfected Kogasa, which is synonymous for capturing the final spell. After all this time she's still tough.
KKS and Monster Train. They are my demons right now.
-
She went and hanged herself. And then there were none. EoSD extra clear. SoEW, SA, UFO, and GFW remain.
-
UFO extra isn't hard to clear.
Try my stage route.
Get one life before Kogasa, Die on her second spell(it's too hard), get the life after her, if possible go for another life before Nue but if you're confident then go for a bomb instead, get a life and bomb from Nue, beat her.
-
I always thought the rule was go for all bombs on UFO's extra. Anyway, UFO's the last thing I want to do right now (GFW I don't plan to do at all =p). The stage is alright, Kogasa's doable aside from her last card (I can't react to lasers fast enough), but I'm god-awful at Nue, and I clipdeath and restart all the way there... At least SA has an easy stage (less restarts, more Koishi), and SoEW gives you craptons of lives >_>.

Using SanaeB or MarisaA. :V

Go for all lives. Almost everything Nue have is trick based like most extra bosses which means that many of your misses is likely to be the unpredicatable sort (failed input, clipping etc.)

Lunatic 1cc. Man, there's always someone beating me to these things. :V
-
So far all i've done is Easy, Normal and Hard 1cc on the TD demo. My laptop won't run it flawlessly though so i cannot get playing it much until I get back to my apartment and my borrowed desktop.
-
Go submit your scores, nerds (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,8999.0.html)
-
Wow, so it really is too easy? I don't want to play it until the full version hits the shelves, but I've been fearing that the difficulty has been tuned down too much ever since ZUN announced that he would make the game easier.
Either way, you guys are fast!
-
10D Demo Hard 1cc. First try after messing around with Lunatic. Completely failed a few things though. Might upload it, might not. Also failed the final spellcard due to not enough power. Haven't even touched Normal or Easy though. Hoping we're missing something with the extend systems or that the full version gives more.
Also, Kogasa's
spellcard on Lunatic is awesome, unlike the one it copies. Seems a little harder to me on Hard, but probably because it's easier for me to follow it on Lunatic.
Lunatic's destroying me at the moment though. And of course no spell practice in the demo because you probably have to clear the game for it like on IN. And Practice mode might be nice to have.
Edit: Should probably spoiler tag that
-
I discovered a cool scoring thing in TD, attack the boss from super close range and your gauge will fill really quickly. I suspect scoring in this game will be about shotgunning *all* the time to get more hyper mode.
-
Well, Point Blanking did help get Hypers in the games that have them, and it also helped to get to Break Mode faster in Crimzon Clover, IIRC. I guess that would transfer over to this somehow.
Not like I could see very many point blanking chances on Lunatic or even Hard.
Also, failing a spellcard because you were in Hyper when you entered it is suck.
-

My one problem with the trance system is this. I'd like a GFW-like system where you get different rewards for how you "capture a card" to compensate for how hyper works (or an easy way to cancel it without costing a resource).
-
You guys sure waste no time when it comes to Lunatic 1ccs.

It does speak for ZUN's game design though, as I never seen any of those games, and TD invites even an inexperienced player like me to try point blanking naturally.
I see it wasn't really a discovery, but I was excited to find it independently.
Great job on the Lunatic 1cc's guys, I'm getting destroyed by the stage 2 boss. But Yuyuko is easier then Nazrin.
And wow at Hearbeams Easy replay, quite ridiculous!
-
1cc'd SA Easy after 3 attempts.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13248 look no further.
-
Joining the cool kids list of people who 1cc'd the demo on lunatic their first day. I have to say, the game is much more subtly difficult. I thought it was pretty easy at first, but it gets pretty tough even here in the demo. The low amount of lives helps.
-
And... Ten Desires demo Hard 1cc - no bombs. It was really not that bad to do. Boss patterns are fun. Stages... i don't know about yet. Don't appreciate the final spell of the stage 3 boss though. Not because of curving lasers. Because she heals herself. Muh!
EDIT:
And Demo Lunatic clear. 2nd attempt at it too. Crappy Stage 3 boss performance though. Just wanted to win so I put some bombs on her. And while its not technically my first day, its my first day where my PC would run the game. It was about to melt yesterday.
So... this demo is easier than the UFO demo by a lot huh?
I really like what the Stage 2 boss is doing. Its not that hard necessarily but she is fun. Yuyuko is easy but i'd say that one of the spells is more difficult than most of her PCB stuff which is just embarassing. For PCB that is.
The Stage 3 boss... badass non-spells. Spellcards... cool if I can work out how to capture most of them.
EDIT: Lol, scratch that. TD Demo 1-miss Lunatic clear.
-
10D's Demo 1cc, Normal. 1 Death, 1 Bomb. All Spell Cards either captured or timed out.
10D's Demo 1cc, Hard. 1 Death.
It's not much, but Lunatic seems feasible. No, I don't know how the game works. :derp:
-
TD demo Hard mode no bombs 1 miss. An embarassing one on Zombie Loli's 2nd to last card.
-
I hate Yoshika Something's first card. STOP RECOVERING ARGH
Anyways, No miss Easy clear of TD demo. (edit - would've been perfect if I didn't randomly bomb)
Reaching for the Lunatic clear!
Hm I wonder what it's like eating lunch and playing TD at the same time is like?

Let me get in on the TD Trial Lunatic 1cc (http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3813/tendesirestriallunatic1.jpg) gang. Score kinda suffered since my Stage 3 run was terribad, but everything before Kyouko went flawlessly in my eyes. I was pleasantly surprised to see I had plenty of bombs left for Yoshika, so I just bombspammed her straight through. :V Because there's no Stage Practice yet, I'll probably only give a full scorerun serious consideration if there's a weekly challenge for it or something.
Might as well ask. For those of you so far who have beaten TD Lunatic, what do you think of its difficulty? I hear a lot of talk about how lower difficulties are easier, but I notice the bosses' danmaku becoming very dense very early for Lunatic and actually staying that way. The divine spirits are arguably easier to handle than the UFOs, though the lack of lives balances that out. Since I never played the UFO trial and never tried out a "full lives" path in UFO's full version, I don't know if the life difference over the first three stages was that striking. Anyone else have thoughts on all this?
-

It was unexpected. In UFO i have managed to to collect a full life stock before Ichirin so there was quite a difference in this demo compared to UFO.

Pulled off a decent demo run for once. Used Marisa, finished off Yoshika with a life to spare. Currently working on Youtubing~
EDIT: Three hours later, it is finally prepared! 10D Demo Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwV1YdNieYk)

Finally 1cc'd TD demo on lunatic. Damn this game is hard... so few extends and no death bomb!
Normal was pretty easy though, got it in first try.
-
My TD trial Lunatic 1cc is now on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpjNba5pjrA). So I have a vid with Reimu, and Donut has one with Marisa, now we need Sanae and Youmu 1ccs from two others to complete a set. :V
-
TD trial Normal NDNB (http://www.mediafire.com/?5coafd8yd5n3d59) with Sanae
Messed up with that hyper on stage 2, not enough memorization, I guess.
-
Gave the trial another credit today since it's release. Perfect first two stages. Shotgunned a bit more and got 104 million.
Anyone else already figured out that going outside the reflecting walls of the stage 2 boss makes it trivial? Okay.
Anyone know how her last card works though? Get the feeling as if there's some aimed element to it.

Might just be me, but I don't really find it hard. It's certainly lower tier as for first three Touhou stages goes at the moment.
Also dense =/= difficult per se
-
Anyone know how her last card works though? Get the feeling as if there's some aimed element to it.
It's exactly as you think: it's completely aimed. As the reflecting orb gets ready to disperse, run to a corner and she'll aim the next reflecting orb in that direction. If you alternate corners doing this, the card becomes pretty trivial, especially since when she casts new orbs, it sucks in a good majority of the bullets coming at you.

Oh, this is also the first time I upload a touhou video to youtube, and I have one question. Is there a way to record with fraps but at 60fps? Since it lags too much, I had to record it at 20fps and then speed it up with ctrl (that's why it looks messed up). Please PM me since I desperately need help.
Did I mention that I captured Desire Sign "Score Desire Eater"~ :toot:

It seems that many people are having this problem, including me after testing this. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. :/
-
Is it a problem occuring only in the demo?
I had similiar problems when recording videos of 12.5 for the first time.
If it's a general problem, then there are different factors to consider, at least the ones that worked for me:
1) System performance in general:
If I recall correctly, my old laptop did have some problems with records, causing occasional lag spikes. Can't remember the specs to save my life, must have been Dual Core, 2,2Ghz, but I can't remember anything else. Not like it matters, you'll notice if it doesn't work.
2) Fraps installed on a different drive than the game?
When I looked into this, I saw something about installing fraps on a different drive than the game helping with the performance during records. Did not work for me, but installing Fraps on the same drive as the game worked wonders, never had any problems after that. Still don't know if I simply misread the advice or if my computer is some kind of magic box, but having Fraps and the game on the same drive solved my problem.
3) Assigning specific cores to Fraps and the game:
This is something else I found. In the task manager, you can right-click a currently running application and assign cores to it (if you have a multi-core system, that is). By doing that, you can have different parts of your system process the respective applications. For instance, if you've got a quad core, you can assign cores 1 and 2 to Fraps, cores 3 and 4 to the game. This, however, never worked for me, but that was before I put Fraps onto the same drive, so I don't know. Also, you might have problems assigning the cores due to a lack of rights or the option being grey. If that does happen, I don't know what to do.
Anyway, that's all I can tell you, sorry if it doesn't help, I really don't know that much about all this computer mumbo-jumbo.
Sorry if this should have been in a PM instead, figured I might as well post it here since another person asked!

That should be a factor actually. Mine has many lag spikes during recordings, which is why I dedicate so much of my time recording repeatedly the same thing over and over until I get a satisfying result. I've got a dual core intel pentium d of 3.20 ghz. I'm guessing some of the problems is my graphics card not being able to keep up with the running processes of both fraps and touhou at the same time. (or possibly any other games for that matter)
-
I feel like I'm getting more consistent at scorerunning TD Stage 1. I have what I believe to be Reimu's optimal path to work on, so now I can just focus on execution there. Also improving in Stage 2, having pulled off a few runs up to boss-Kyouko with my own path (which I also believe to be optimal). I'm still unsure on exactly how to bomb/hyper parts of boss-Kyouko though.
-
First Normal no death no bomb run of the TD demo with Youmu. Yay!
-
Woo, that was intense. Hard SA 1cc! (http://i56.tinypic.com/28c3h1i.png) That leaves PoDD and UFO.
EDIT: FFFFFFFFF-! Can't submit score, 7.51% slowdown. Stupid lagspells :(.
-
I did a no bomb no manual hyper attempt of TD Hard with 2 misses.
I'm pretty sure I'd game over at midboss Yuugi if I tried a no bomb run of SA on Normal.
If things remain this way I might have a shot at another Hard 1cc later.
-
Hard 1cc of TD Demo. Yoshika really throws me off badly - her kunais are stupidly thick (maybe I should start playing more on full screen rather than windowed), but liberal use of bombs/hypers solved that problem for me. Oh well, a clear is a clear.

Yes, always go with fullscreen, it makes your life so much easier. If you must play in windowed for whatever reason (eg. I need to play windowed to record practice mode EoSD replays), try to get your screen resolution set so that the window takes up as much of the screen as possible. I usually just go with 800x600 res and the standard 640x480 game window.
-
After having 3 failed runs at IaMP normal with Sakuya, the fourth run finally co-operated! It was very messy, but I'm proud to have done it because this means I'm getting better at this game. The only thing I didn't like was when Sakuya felt that she needed to stand still and do nothing. Luckily, the AI most of the time mirrored that. :V
-
Nothing huge, but I managed to get to Reisen on Hard but lost my life to Illusion Seeker
-
Hard SA 1cc
My first 1cc of SA Hard had 4 lives left and had been done with a character that I hadn't beaten Normal with.
-
TD Hard 1cc with Sanae, finally. I can't wait until the retail version come out so I can actual practice things as opposed to bombing anything that presents a remote threat (which includes every single attack from Yoshika except her first spell, which isn't that dangerous if I just settle with time out).
Also, I managed to pull off two extends on Normal with Sanae as well. I seriously hope that there's going to be more extends in the retail version (either by changing the first three stages, changing the requirements, or be a LOT more generous with red spirits on stage 4-6).

PoFV 1CC Lunatic with Marisa...at least it's not Aya or Medicine...
(please tell me Marisa is a non-cheating character...)
EDIT: Forgot to link the runs: [Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZj_ws9RFIQ)] [Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fbc6H9sqLQ)]
Not to forget to mention I usually goof off the first 4 stages. I get serious in stages 5 and above.
-
PoFV 1CC Lunatic with Marisa...at least it's not Aya or Medicine...

Marisa isn't broken, no. I believe that she was counted as a low tier character in that game, if I recall correctly. Good job!
-
Flying Fantastica Capped on Normal. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECoHwshIg_Q) For good friday because memes.
Now to time it out without being raped by timeout phase :V
And here is the MoF Extra Clear I mentioned earlier with CRAPPY VIDEO QUALITY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzWRCr3Q0XI)
I cleared IN's Extra, will record later as usual.
Now i'm out of ideas which extra to clear
I have
EoSD - Frkkin Flanberry Trap and maze of love
PCB Phantasm- Stage Raeg
SA - Release of Id and SUPEREGO sucks horribly
UFO - Don't get me started...
GFW - Too inconsistant at stage...
10D - Doesn't exist (yet)
-
Flan's tough but has an easy stage, Yukari's easy but has a tough stage. Those are probably the easiest ones of what you mentioned, with Yukari probably being the easier of the two (she only took me two tries as opposed to dozens)
-
PCB Phantasm- Stage Raeg
I recall having a really hard time with Flandre when I was new to shmups. However, even then I found Yukari's stage to be a pretty simple affair of memorized movements and a few pre-planned bombs that would consistently get me to Yukari without dying. Almost everything in it can be dealt with in exactly the same way every time so don't give up on it. And once you get to Yukari with all those lives she won't be that hard to beat.
Iirc i beat her in two or three tries.
Oh and you deserve some credit for Flying Fantastica. That spell is a fucking motherfucker that fucks with your eyes.

PoFV 1CC Lunatic with Marisa...at least it's not Aya or Medicine...

I personally avoid using her when playing versus matches, due to how she limits space when you (or whoever is fighting her) don't have a bomb available, but the AI's problem seems to be exactly the opposite of what we would have: they don't detect the lasers, but have little problems against the micrododging iirc. Anyways, I guess you didn't capitalize on Marisa's lasers so, congratulations for your effort and achievement!
-
._.
So, I was frustrated with another failure on perfecting Sakuya, so I went to fight Remilia. It was an average run really, and I decided on a whim to try timing out Scarlet Gensokyo. I've never been good at it (best I believe was 52 seconds left), but it's always been the dream.
Timed out no bombs no deaths.

I had no idea the AI still remains unaware of Marisa's lasers, even to this day (no wonder Sikieiki was snuffed out by a laser). Well, you learn something new after all. At least I can sit back and relax while having the achievement under my belt. :D

Try lunatic match mode. Use Marisa and play against Aya. AI never takes any damage, you can't win.

Good night, sweet Shikieiki. Don't hit the door on your way out.
...And that would be the first Touhou game I've 1cc'd on Hard. Not counting LLS, because it's so easy it's criminal.
-
10D lunatic 1cc with Reimu, now Youmu's the only one left (oh god, don't even want to think about it. ;_;).
Just as I suspected, I figured out the trick to Yoshika's last spell card and managed to capture it. Tricky, tricky.
-
Try lunatic match mode. Use Marisa and play against Aya. AI never takes any damage, you can't win.
example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yIiyJASA4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yIiyJASA4)
- 1cc'd Lunatic Story Mode with Marisa, got a lot of points from Aya
- died a lot of times against Siki (reached her with 6 lives iirc, ended with 3)
- game crashed as I tried to save the replay (score was over 150 million)
- I was about to post here, then I saw "Match Mode"
- went to Match Mode and then Aya proceeds to redefine the word micrododging into "micrododging before Aya" and "micrododing after Aya"
- manage to get her to the last health bar on the first round, then die, then fail apart on the second round: http://www.mediafire.com/file/48zldp9b1th0wb6/PoFV_-_Lunatic_Match_Marisa_vs_Aya_-_2011-04-23.rar (Gensokyo Replay Uploader's not working for PoFV atm, gives me an SQL error)
- I watch the replay and then saw Aya micrododge within the confinement of two laser beams, and micrododge the volley of blue stars from Marisa's boss attack which was supposed to corner her at the bottom right.. and come to the conclusion that beating her isn't impossible, but is something kinda out of my control :( (you need to corner her somehow, when she doesn't have bombs, and this largely depends on your lasers to limit her space)
-
FINALLY.
10D lunatic 1cc with Youmu. That was extremely painful and I can't imagine what doing this in the full version would be like. Well, that's all four shot types. Time to wait for the full version~
-
10D Lunatic 1cc, Reimu~
Gives you waaay too many resources.
Edit: and now with Marisa and Sanae.

Timeout of Endless Evening Cherry Blossoms on lunatic in my dreams. ;)
Ha ha. I did a 1 death pacifist run of SA stage 4 with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13484) on Normal, considering my skill level this is pretty good I guess. The death is silly and not in a difficult place, so I'm ok with it, perfect Satori is more important. I play her final card in a stupid way and end up having to work harder than I should for that last spells timeout.
I think SA stage 4 is pretty easy, I doubt I'd be able to make a run this clean in any of the other games.
-
Huzzah ufo extra clear with marisa-B. That wasn't too bad there were some dum mistakes but the highlight is obv when I captured grudge bow o/ ill post the replay later
-
Finally managed to get a good recording of Ten Desires. The game suddenly wanted to record with no issues at 60 FPS on a 2.6ghz quad core machine while it it refused to go above 50FPS on a 3.2 ghz machine. Odd. But i'll take it.
I have made a video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-5o8NK5B2w) if anyone wants to see it. Its a 1-miss Lunatic 1cc of the demo complete with amazing commentary and educated opinions. :V
-
Got to Lunatic Shou on 1 credit with ReimuA. game overed on walls of justice. Still, the times I got to Byakuren were with ReimuB, and since this is ReimuA instead, I guess it's still somewhat progress.
Edit: Murasa's survival Lunatic captured, although I couldn't do it again. Also, timed out Ichirin's hook combo card, though it's still bad.
-
SA Normal Stage 4 Practice with ReimuKari
Finally caught Flying Insect's Nest and managed to safespot BoWaP properly (*though I died during BoWaP before I decided to bomb and attempted to safespot it*)
-
SA Normal Stage 4 Practice with ReimuKari
Finally caught Flying Insect's Nest and managed to safespot BoWaP properly (*though I died during BoWaP before I decided to bomb and attempted to safespot it*)
That safespot's fun. Problem with me capping it is I always bomb to safespot after it starts, so it defeats the purpose really. I need better timing. Though that spell's safespot is weird, because I can stay there and attempt to time it out, but it always kills me, when I never move during the whole thing. Not sure why. Maybe the orientation of the bullets created or the spot they are created change over time?
-
BoWaP is completely static. I've been killed by Satori moving slightly after it dies, though.

Shuusou Gyoku perfect stage 5 lunatic.
Found out that the MIDBOSS OF DOOM actually has a few tricks to it that make it a lot easier.
Why is stage 5 so much easier than stage 4?
I also pulled off the stage-long chain by the way. :smug: BV
EDIT:
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
I SOMEHOW DID A PERFECT STAGE 4
HOLY SHIT
-
So a few tries at Lunatic Byakuren after downloading a score.dat with her unlocked,
Superhuman captured second try
Superhuman timed out the next try after the capture(then I forgot to save the replay)
Devil's Recitation capture
Going to probably need to get to her with a lot of lives and bombs to 1cc her though. I'm terrible at the fight pretty much.
Edit: Magic Milky Way capture and another Devil's Recitation capture. This actually leaves only 3 cards I've yet to capture in UFO. The three that I still need to capture, whether they be on my score.dat or not are Byakuren's second, LFO, and Greatest Treasure, and I got a 1DNB of LFO once.
-
The Shuusou Gyoku perfect stage 4 lunatic is up! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2xtwTqAcYI)

First 1cc of PCB Easy. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13548) But I did horribly. I almost didn't even make it.
-
I captured Yoshika's last card on Hard.
Except I got bugged out, so I couldn't get a replay.
-
I got a no death run of MoF extra. Perfect Kanako and perfect Suwako up until the green streaming non-spell where I bombed to safely collect items. Only failed Suwa war and Misaguji-sama.
-
Forgot to post this a few days ago. ReimuB UFO 1cc (only Marisa left!) in which I captured Shou's spinning green laser swords. Hooray!

ReimuB sure makes that card easy, doesn't it? :)

Oops, Normal. I've yet to even get past stage 4 in UFO Hard (only played UFO Hard twice or something though), and I've never played easy on any of the games unless it was for a score run or for GFW, just because that's all that's required for Extra and I dislike that game too much to give it any sort of effort.

A mix of
About time I finally got this.
I'm never doing a full run of this game again, maybe only of a lower difficulty to get Extra unlocked for ReimuB and MarisaB
Time to finish those captures, then maybe I'll learn how to score in Extra. Outside of unlocking Extra for those 2 shots, I'll never do a full run of any difficulty again. I can keep my UFO playing to just Stage Practice and Extra now.
-
MoF MarisaB Lunatic clear, but used the glitch extensively, so I'm not too proud of this one.
-
The comments say it all :3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13585)
I did use the safespot, but I don't care
-
Does Danmakufu count? Because I don't care if it was at 58.x fps (hate this laptop) I'm glad I finally defeated Walker's Iku on Normal, including a capture of the final card.
Now I can put (most) games aside until after finals.
-
Sanae clear of 10Demo yesterday, and Marisa/Reimu clears today. I still think the life system belongs in a coin-guzzling arcade (or a fire), but I'm slowly starting to hate the game less on the grounds that it's still good ol' Touhou aside from that.
We'll see if I can get the Youmu clear. I'm not particularly optimistic because my focus control with a keyboard is still rather weak, but this may be the exercise in focus control that I need to overcome that obstacle.
-
Who cares if you don't have a lot of lives when you get a lot of bombs, terrificly abusable hypers and laughably trivial stages? You can apply some sort of trivializer to all parts of the game. Isn't that beautiful?
(That is of course just a trial and therefore subject to change.)
-
I did another pacifist attempt (http://score.royalflare.net/th13/replay13/th13_ud008c.rpy) at the trial. 2 death Yuyuko and game over at the kunai spam but it's the best I have done. I hope to see someone beat the trial pacifist, it would be amazing.
-
Suddenly, I realize why Youmu is top-tier in PoFV. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13591)
-
Not sure if I should put this here or the rage thread. 1cc 10D normal with Marisa and captured Yoshika's final card :), but the game has to smite me and destroy my party when it crashed so I couldn't save the replay. :(
-
YES! IaMP Suika Hard 1cc. Been working on that for a while now. Remilia started to actually let me hit her, sometimes. Others, she lost her hitbox. And so did Marisa. But whatever. I still had one life left when I finished too. Sweetness!
Also, that trick on Red Magic, it failed me this time. She moved too far out and messed me up for a good while. ;_;

Stage 5 unlocked for Practice in Lunatic EoSD with Reimu B. I sure was happier when I accomplished this in IN and PCB. At those times there were just a few mistakes where I said "That was dumb, get rid of those and you'll clear it", but this time there were hardly any really dumb mistakes, more things where my lack of skill would be to blame. This is unsettlingly discouraging and motivating at the same time, I guess.
Edit: Actually, I think I can do this. The strategic parts of stage 5 seem to be somewhat easy to figure out, at least I've got a fairly solid approach in mind for most of them already. At this rate, stage 4 will probably be the decisive factor since there's only so much that strategy can do there, but I'm pumped!
-
Finally beat th07 Phantasm with all characters and shot type.
Last one was SakuyaA, which went quite horribly at the end. Died two times in the survival card and two times at the last card without using bombs.
What should I do now?

-
Ok, I'm no Lunatic Player. Sure I'll grind and grind on Extra modes when possible (and still not beat them) but I haven't really moved out of Normal. With how easy 10D on Normal was to me, I thought I'd venture out into the Lunatic mode. No real reason, just thought I'd have a poke. Every time I've poked at Lunatic on any game, I have failed to capture anything; never mind getting past stage 1.
Not only did I get past stage 1, I got the first two spell cards on the main boss captured and ALMOST caught the 3rd but luck gave up on me by then.
Yes, it's not game completion (trail in this case) or anything like that. But to me, it's a big thing! And with that, I feel a new wave of optimism upon me. XD
-
Perfect Pacifist run on 10D! Though I guess that can be done by nearly any Normal player and above...

Starbow Break captured! :V

EoSD, Reimu A, Lunatic, 1cc.... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13606)
:X
OH GOD YES!!!!! Lunatic 1cc clear with Reimu A. Messed up here and there, but I overall dodged to the best of my ability. Also, screw you Scarlet Meister, I was so close to capturing you... (even with lag ;_;)
Oh yeah, 5.082% lag. Fuck my computer (it's a vista >:C)
5.082%
:colonveeplusalpha:
I feel sorta bad that I didn't capture God Art, Scarlet Meister, or Killing Doll. Other than the death at stage 4 laser-books, this replay was overall crappily successful. Crappy, but successful.
Oh, and now... I have finally conquered the Scarlet Devil! 8)
Now it's time to challenge the Undead Princess...
I still can't get over the fact that I actually did it. I've lost at Scarlet Gensokyo 12 times in Lunatic for the past month...
-
Finally, TD Lunatic Youmu 1cc (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th13_udm876.rpy).
Youmu feels so awkward. I know she's supposedly the best at scoring, but she's surprisingly little fun for me to play. I really, really wish that wasn't the case though.
-
Tried Lunatic PCB.
Died so many times due to 10x slower Raymoo. I did a perfect Youmu and Yuyuko run (after continuing) .
Yuyuko is.... a lot easier than Remilia. Her last spellcard was pretty boring compared to the hell EoSD was...
brb, gonna go get used to slow!Raymoo.
-
Still in the process of readjusting myself to SA (well, any game before TD actually). After several tries, pulled off a 1DNBNG run of Stage 5 Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13607). Stupid death on the Ghost Wheels when I lost my focus for a split-second, but capturing Small Demon's Revival again was a pleasant surprise. I still have a ways to go with doing the rest of the game, never mind relearning the scoring paths, but I have more time to do this now.

Former is definitely true, but which "last card", the regular or survival? Resurrection Butterfly is still pretty legit if you ask me (perhaps it's more subtly difficult than Scarlet Gensokyo, but still).
-
EoSD, Reimu A, Lunatic, 1cc.... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13606)
I still can't get over the fact that I actually did it. I've lost at Scarlet Gensokyo 12 times in Lunatic for the past month...
eh it's legit enough :V and yeah good job! now imma watch this replay to see if it's as bad as my 1cc was :derp:
Edit: wow that was some awsum dodging but uh not enough dying and bombing :p

I'm talking about Resurrection Butterfly.
(it's probably because I've timed-out her Last Word in IN and/or it isn't a huge cluster-f of melting red magic trapping you to your death) :3

I finished with no lives what are you talking about ;-;

I finished with no lives what are you talking about ;-;
you've got 3 bombs tho. I didn't have 3 bombs left :V besides you coulda finished with more lives if you bombed more anyway. At least, i think you would have. Edit: well actually I'm surprised that you caped much more than I did but finished with the same amt of lives... Well I guess that happens sometimes. Either way have fun with pcb!

Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc'd with all shots~
Youmu... Her slashes sometimes trivialize some stage parts. And it helped a lot in the Stage 3 boss whose name I still can't remember. She kept moving during the nonspells but Youmu has such horizontal range on those slashes...
It's like using Netherworld Team all over again (which I approve of~)
-
I'm happy now. Finally, a UFO normal 1cc, done with ReimuA. I derped up a little bit at the end of Flying Fantastica, but still cleared it. Yay extra stage unlock!
About freakin' time
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is what happens when I play at 12:00 at night. I have no idea.

(it's probably because I've timed-out her Last Word in IN and/or it isn't a huge cluster-f of melting red magic trapping you to your death)
You timed that out? Then no shit buddy. After IN's last word, the 80% reflowering in PCB give you a bit of a "meh, where's da bullets?" effect.

I'm on a roll now! UFO normal 1cc's with ReimuA, ReimuB, and SanaeA. (Marisa is another story. ;_;)

Phantasm clear, AT! LONG! LAST! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13624)
Edit: Cleared PCB Extra with SakuyaB, as well. No replay, though.

Finally captured Scarlet Meister, Hard Mode only, but at least I've got all Hard Mode Spellcards captured now. Feeling ready for the final push towards stage 6 on Lunatic now!
-
So, what order should I take on SoEW, PoDD, LLS, MS, PoFV, and GFW Lunatics? Obviously, I'm not counting HRtP since I have no plans to take that one on. But I'm wondering which order I should take these 6 on.
I do wonder how long it'd take to learn the games enough to be able to 1cc them.
-
Gave PCB Lunatic a try....
Made it to Yuyuko's last spell before Resurrection Butterfly before I had to use a continue.
I may be on the verge of my very first Lunatic 1CC..... :o

Holy crap holy crap Scarlet Meister captured (http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4130/eosdscarletmeistercaptu.jpg)!

I do wonder how long it'd take to learn the games enough to be able to 1cc them.
MS was probably the easiest of them for me, taking all of 3 tries. It really didn't feel much worse than Hard. LLS/SoEW are both relatively easy too aside, SoEW being the harder of the two I guess. I think there's a trick to make Elly easier too, but I forget how it works. Something to do with ending her phases on certain attacks so you don't have to deal with the harder ones. From there, I guess PoFV --> GFW --> PoDD, unless you're better at dodging than freezing, in which case PoDD --> GFW.
:o
How do you..?
Draws them himself of course!
-
SoEW, PoDD, MS, PoFV, and GFW I never even 1cc'd on Hard. But it doesn't really make any sense to go for Hard on them now. I'll just skip to Lunatic.
My early run vids of GFW were from when I didn't realize that shooting charged your freeze meter faster. Should be obvious why I failed so horribly on them.
Still, I guess I could easily take most of these out quickly once I start trying. SoEW, LLS, and MS will be relearning the game, but LLS is easy enough to 1cc, so maybe I'll try to 1cc while playing for using lives and bombs for score instead of survival, and that'd make it a more decent challenge. But I'd need to learn the optimal bombing spots. I don't know if I could even get to Shiki now on PoFV like I used to, but that game is pretty much luck on whether the AI decides to die. GFW shouldn't be that bad if I spam freeze. PoDD is the tough one obviously being the hardest of them all, even harder than UFO.
I don't even know who I should be using for PoDD either. And I never got the final extend on Normal or on my old Hard runs.
-
Skip the Phantasmagorias and SoEW.
Especially SoEW.
If you really gotta play PoFV, which there really isn't any reason why you should, play as Aya. Some people like to call her overpowered but they say the same about the Border Team in IN so who gives a fuck?
There is some tendency that the only characters in Touhou that doesn't suck gets labelled overpowered. Don't listen to them. You're just going for a "get it over with 1cc" anyway I presume.
As for PoDD... ask Jaimers or Ebarett. As far as I'm concerned the only good thing about that is its soundtrack so I never played more than a single credit of it. It is a damn good soundtrack though. Unlike PoFV.
-
And Scarlet Gensokyo captured (http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9509/eosdscarletgensokyocapt.jpg). After recent stabs at Remilia, I suddenly felt like I was focusing better at that card, so I just kept hammerin' until it gave. And in the process of trying to get this, I realized at some point I had been capturing things like Young Demon Lord and Thousand Needle Mountain several times consecutively, both at max rank.
Of all games to see vast improvements during my "return" to Touhou, I never would have guessed it to be EoSD.
SoEW, PoDD, MS, PoFV, and GFW I never even 1cc'd on Hard. But it doesn't really make any sense to go for Hard on them now. I'll just skip to Lunatic.
My early run vids of GFW were from when I didn't realize that shooting charged your freeze meter faster. Should be obvious why I failed so horribly on them.
I can't say anything about the PC-98 games or PoFV, but I can testify that GFW is definitely something you can just skip to Lunatic for. If you had been practicing a route on lower difficulties, you know the general progression of everything after a while, so you merely have to adjust for whatever differences Lunatic has. In addition, the greater amounts of danmaku on Lunatic make it much easier to freeze mass portions of the screen, filling up your percentages faster. And it sounds like you already know what you had been doing wrong before, so once you start applying that (and don't forget, grazing helps charge faster too!) a 1cc will come sooner than you think.
-
But I'd need to learn the optimal bombing spots.
There's a ton of ghosts toward the end of stage 1 that you should be bombing (as seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUOgYZ6j86U#t=1m20s)), plus these waves (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MxNex9He2U#t=1m13s) on stage 3, and Yuka's second last phase on stage 6 should be timed out with bombs/suicides for the point items. Iirc, stage 4 has a lot of grazing, and stage 6 Yuka's second phase should be supergrazed and timed out. I'm not sure which other spots you should capitalize on, but those are the biggest ones that come to mind... Or you may just want to stick to those ones if you don't think you can make it with enough lives in reserve. Iirc, you should be entering Yuka's second last phase with 4 lives or more, and tack on two more bombs for Lunatic, since her last phase is ridiculous.
Uhh, PoDD... I guess Yumemi? I'm not sure though, I only played it on Normal and that was quite a while ago. I don't even remember most of the character names if that says anything.
If you really gotta play PoFV, which there really isn't any reason why you should, play as Aya. Some people like to call her overpowered but they say the same about the Border Team in IN so who gives a fuck?
Medicine!! But that's a little TOO overpowered... Shiki went down in 61 seconds when I used her >_>. Marisa/Reimu/Shiki are alright too I guess, if you don't wanna go with the other two.
-
I don't even know who I should be using for PoDD either. And I never got the final extend on Normal or on my old Hard runs.
Reimu/Yumemi/Rikako for easy clears, everyone else for hard clears and Chiyuri for an insane clear.
Also pretty sure you get both extends on lunatic whatever you do anyway.
Some people like to call her overpowered.
Some people also like to call Type Z in CC overpowered.

I never played with it so I don't know. One thing I do know though is that Type A doesn't suck whereas most shots in Touhou that aren't the best one tend to blow. ZUN likes to be creative instead of going with the traditional; Ship A is fast and has linear shots while Ship B is slow and has spread shots that you see in many bullet hells.
Just too bad that creativity falls short when you realize that whatever benefit they have is hysterically outclassed by the traditional shot types. There is no benefit whatsoever in picking MarisaA in MoF for example who will have a trail of stars after her that barely deals any damage or you can just select ReimuB who will knock the bosses into the ground and keep kicking at them until they stop moving.
ZUN doesn't know what balanced characters is. So just pick the best and win.

This makes no sense at all. If you try Z, you'll see that A and B completely suck in comparison.

Except that they still have only separate scoreboards, which implies they aren't even meant to be balanced.

Perfect Hard Kogasa !
I know this might look a bit bleh but her first spell.... :ohdear:
I was followed by a "I loose all my lives without bombing once even if I have full bomb" stage 3.

I agree, yes, especially SA comes to mind. Different shot types are more about having fun and using them in certain situations or coming up with strategies that involve them. This, however, becomes annoying once people start thinking that opting for a character that simply shoots straight instead of using non-homing homing shots equals playing the game on easy mode.
Big deal if I don't arbitrarily make the game harder than it could be if I used an unconventional shot-type.
Aside from that, it's nice that ZUN actually comes up with unconventional shot-types, it's fun to give them a try. It's just a pity that most of them aren't used again, I'd rather stick with a certain shot-type in all games, so I won't be switching from Needle Reimu anyway.
Balance really doesn't need to be considered, though, and I hope it will stay that way since I have yet to see any kind of game in any genre that actually maintained balance to a degree that could be defined as acceptable on all characters/whatever you're playing as. As Erppo said, give them different scoreboards, call it a day and have fun.
-
This makes no sense at all. If you try Z, you'll see that A and B completely suck in comparison.
This so much. After 10-15 attempts at Original with Type-I, I was still failing 1ccs on the final boss. I then unlock Type-Z, 1 life up to stage 4, and clear the game including both TLB parts with about 5 lives to spare. Double the Type-1's power, give it more mobility, and make the break gauge fill 2-3 times as fast and you have Type-Z. Type-2 still has use on Simple though, since its options can be manipulated to jam them into bosses, unlike Type1/Z who have to shotgun to get that... It's an awkward shot though, so I never really bothered.
-
This makes no sense at all. If you try Z, you'll see that A and B completely suck in comparison.
As I stated, I have never played Z. I don't even have it unlocked. I'm still in the process of unlocking all the stages. I haven't even tried Type B yet. When I was talking about traditional shottypes I was thinking about DOJ and Ketsui. Not Crimzon Clover.
Except that they still have only separate scoreboards, which implies they aren't even meant to be balanced.
Yeah and that's a good thing. It means that all competition will be compared to people who play on equal terms as you. That still doesn't mean that the other shot types are any good just cause' they have a leaderboard though. its more like a leaderboard for people playing with a self-imposed handicap like no-bombs or no-focus. And if some people find that fun, then that's cool and all. I just personally think that those shottypes are horribly inbalanced and somewhat of a drawback about Touhou. But hey, its not just Touhou. I also find Deathsmiles to suffer from major character bias.

Indeed. It is quite irritating at times when people constantly have to call the good characters overpowered. ReimuA in SA - I choose her because she's a simple straightforward shot. Not because she deals a lot of damage. That's only a neat bonus. SanaeB - She has a good spreadshot and deals good damage as well. Overpowered? I'd more say, useful. She minimizes the level of memorization you will have to do without completely trivializing things like bosses. Its not like she makes things that much more easy anyway. Border Team - I love that team. Good homing capabilities and lock on during focus. Overpowered? No. I'd say the rest are underpowered since the game has so many popcorn enemies flying in from everywhere. You won't be able to keep proper track with them with anybody else.
Unless of course you count memorizing an exact path through the entire game. But i'd say its stupid to do that when you can just select the character the game was seemingly made for.
Somebody might come and point out that I have been very happy about hating on Sakuya in PCB. So can I permit myself to complain about people calling my favorite shots overpowered when I do so myself? Yes. There is a difference between effective shots and outright broken shots that can break the entire game.

No wonder you don't like UFOs stages, if you pick Sanae B you don't even have to do anything.
-
Oh no no. Most of my playing UFO is actually done with ReimuA with whom the stages are still easy.
Stage 4 is great. Stage 3 decent. Stage the rest - a chore.
Maybe that is an entirely new issue about UFO's stages... spread shot trivializes them. Some bullet hells have difficult stages even with spreadshot you know.
-
I don't really see most of the other shots as underpowered myself, more just "different and underappreciated". Most of them have some sort of utility to them, even if one is more versatile/powerful overall. Sure, a couple like MoF MarisaA or UFO MarisaB are flat-out garbage, but many are quite decent. Marisa/Youmu/Remilia solo and Netherworld Team in IN are all pretty decent and underused. PCB MarisaA has the strongest far shot, which is nice, even if she has fewer bombs and awful range. MoF ReimuA trivializes stages, and MarisaC is quite good if you're used to her. MarisaC makes a great survival shot in SA, ReimuB has the ever-loved homing (plus autocollect),. MarisaA trivializes Nazrin's last card and Kogasa's first (and I'd assume Nue's UFO cards), ReimuB's surprisingly good for being the second-weakest shot (plus the smaller hitbox is nice).
Obviously one shot will be preferred for being the best, but the others are still decent in their own right. In some cases, I actually prefer the "bad" shots for their abilities, particularly the homing and spread shots. IN Marisa Solo being another of my favorites, since she gets all her Marisa power without getting crippled by Alice whenever she focuses

-
wat
I mean the other two are pretty good, but wat
High power, fast, and trivializes spells by wrecking familiars. The only issue I really have with her is when familiars are flinged at you (damn yin-yang orbs). Basically Youmu, but no need to aim Myon, for the tradeoff of a bit of power and full screen coverage. I'm not really a Lunatic player on IN though so it may be different there, though I don't see why it should be.
-
Even with spread shots, what if the UFOs didn't move as per 10D spirits? Would it still be as easy?
Divine spirits have a much bigger "pickup" range than UFOs, so I don't know if this is a completely fair comparison. The first three stages of both games, at least, seem to include brief lulls in the danmaku to give you a chance at collection. We'll need to wait for TD's full version to see if the second half of that game does the same thing.
-
Alright, Marisa solo lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13681).
She's not quite as terrible as I thought (I was probably biased because of my negative experiences with Magic Team), and she does trivialize some things due to pure damage output, like Mystia's last nonspell. Still, being unable to kill things not directly above her makes the stage portions pretty annoying, and I'd still rather be any other human solo character. (Possibly even Sakuya.)
stage 4 lol

IN normal 1cc with reimu/yukari.
My second 1cc after eosd. I just realized how ZUN uses the same song for good and bad endings. The beginning of the song is very depressing, but it picks up later in the latter part (which you would likely only hear seeing the longer good ending). Genius!

First 1cc of this game (on easy), and third 1cc overall (although I really don't think I should count a max lives run of IN easy).
I'm just going to say that Private Square breaks Yuyuko's survival card and that SakuyaB's aimed shots makes taking down Chen a LOT easier than I thought it would. I actually managed to have spare lives unlike my UFO clear(!)
Yuyuko's not too bad, Byakuren was harder, but OTOH, I just bombed my way through a card that would otherwise destroy me. I guess this is why ZUN no longer has survival cards as the Stage 6 boss's last card.

UFO Stage 6 Lunatic 1D1B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13800)
Two words: Holy. Crap. This is by far my best performance on this stage. Death near the end of Good Omen (not unexpected really), and bomb on the second nonspell because I messed up my "Krim-style" streaming (that attack still sucks though). But everything else perfect? Even Legendary Flying Saucer? Damn, I never would have seen that coming off what was a purely random run.
No, I'm not gonna go for that full perfect run yet. It's a lot farther away than it looks, trust me.

RAWR, EoSD Lunatic Reimu B 1CC! Finally, must have taken me well above 10 actual attempts at stage 6, a lot of head-aches due to smacking myself silly when I messed up badly, but it's finally done.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvIuTF8fDE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvIuTF8fDE)
So happy right now that this is finally over. When I first got to stage 6, it seemed like I'd never be able to clear the game. To think I managed to improve this much in only 1 1/2 weeks. Cost me quite a bit of my sanity, though, got really caught up in this "Got to win"-mood. Still, I'm glad that I actually managed to beat my previous best High Score this time, the score of my first Hard Mode 1CC in EoSD was worse than the score I got during a failed run, so humiliating. Regardless, not like I was playing for score, I was trying to keep it so ridiculously safe, I might as well have worn safety equipment.
Anyway, next I'm gonna improve my Extra Stage Score, which should allow me to be a bit more easy-going.

RAWR, EoSD Lunatic Reimu B 1CC!
Awesome job bro! From my perspective that's a pretty good clear. You didn't mess up as badly as me that's for sure ;(. So once you're done with extra what will you do next?

EoSD Easy 1LC. Bombed on Sakuya's last nonspell and her last spell once each. Also, I really wish this game had a stage 6 on easy, it's no fun ending on meido :(.
I think I'll do SA next. I almost had one with the MarisaA tourney round, but I got screwed over by the shot type on Orin (spread shot killed a spirit, which blew up in my face).

Anyway Im slowly getting through ufo lunatic. But kogasa *shudders* oman if I dont have a bomb going into psm im so screwed However Ive almost figured out her last card so maybe it'll be alright. Now if only I can stop slamming things on stage 3... :V
Haha, thanks! After the Extra, I'll go through PoFV Lunatic + Extra and repeat the same procedure for MoF, SA and UFO. I really, really hope I can finish this before the TD retail release, would be awesome.
Still, it's quite incredible to how great an extent I can see through most of the patterns in the Extra Stage right now whereas I was barely managing to cling to my life the first time I cleared it. Still no idea what kind of High Score I should be aiming for, gonna have to see what I can realistically pull off without putting in too much time since I my main goal is simply to upload an improved run with better video quality and annotations.
Regardless, UFO Lunatic's pretty tough, though, isn't it? Haven't taken a look at it yet, but Hard Mode made me cringe more than once.
-
Finally 1cc'd SA on normal. It's not a Lunatic run, but that game is hard. I had to practice stage 5 at least 20 times before getting it right.
Though I managed to lose only one life during my run on Orin's stage. \o/
-
IN Extra run with Scarlet Team first try, and I beat it. :getdown:
That stage really isn't that hard actually. But Remilia's movement made it a tad harder. Still finished with 2 lives.

Yeah it's amazing to replay extras and then suddenly woah the patterns make sense. Also ufo lunatic is pretty tough but it's helping my skill tremendously. That and it's kinda fun :V

Awesome job! one life eh? not bad at all. Im glad to see your practice paid off! so, what's next for you? sa extra or some other gaem?

Hoho gj! You're right that stage really isn't all that bad. Clearing on your first try is pretty good even with remilia's movement and blah blah. Also same question, what's next on the plate? maybe you'll clear IN extra with all shottypes :V Im sure it'd be easy enough for you
-
I know, it's considered so easy, it's criminal, but...
LLS Lunatic Cleared! \o/ (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/maxxjaxx/LLSLunaticClear.png)

I have. That was the last shot type. It's just the first time playing extra as that team.
Well, I could always beat extra with the individuals, I guess. My main concern though is clearing SA and UFO normal with all shot types. I haven't pulled that off yet. Then I have their extras to take care of. Then there's PC98... >_>
-
Tackled UFO Stage 6 Hard. I haven't touched UFO Hard since I 1cc'd it ages ago.
And I dicked around.
It resulted in me figuring out how to not fail on Byakuren's last nonspell, an almost-timeout-with-no-horizontal-movement of curvy lasers, and my first ever capture of Legendary Flying Saucer (Hard).
Even if you don't care about these things, you gotta watch the replay because of my dicking around on Demon's Recitation~
-
Alrighty, in the end I did not opt for getting the High Score I was originally aiming for. Had an EoSD Extra Run with quite a few captures I wanted which also happened to have enough retarded mistakes in it to be considered funny and, in some regards, educational. Since I was already in the process, I spent the rest of the day updating all my Youtube videos with annotations, fixing some colour schemes, inter-video linking, timing and other stuff. Now that everything's up to date with my current standards, I can happily move on to PoFV.
Four lunatic modes left, might just make it before the TD retail-release.
-
One of my friends made it to Yamame on SA Lunatic on his first day of playing. While affected by alcohol.
Me and two of my friends have made a video of me drilling them through the first stage of SA Lunatic with live commentary. Go watch it. Its pretty neat if I should say so myself. :V
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3WY7QV7iyA
Sorry 'bout only 480p. Happens.
-
Well, I had 1cc'd EoSD, MoF, IN, and UFO on Lunatic. But I guess capturing Byakuren's last spell was the greatest achievement (Seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrNijb470xM).)

Accomplishments: I actually got to byakurens last card on lunatic :getdown:
Fail: Didn't 1cc
Had WAY too many lucky dodges. Dont believe me click below...
http://i54.tinypic.com/6y2vww.jpg
And I lived. :derp: I may post the replay later but all the lucky dodges are just embarrassing.
-
After seeing that Sadistic Penguin do it I decided that I wanted to do it as well. Unseasonable Butterfly Storm Timeout. - This took me 219 attempts to do. I had really expected a lot more but after shamelessly lifting Jaimers technique I managed to reduce it to a spell that was pretty fun to work on instead of a really annoying one where those long lanes of red and blue butterflies randomly hit you whenever you are engaged with dodging.

Cleared EoSD Extra Marisa A & PCB Phantasm Reimu B

I've officially cleared UFO Normal with all shottypes! Woo~!
-

Ooooooooooooooo nice
Marisa-b was obv the most fun right? :P
So you gonna do extra with all dem shottypes :V
-
I micrododged inside the safespot in Bumper Crop Rice Shower...
At 90FPS.
I didn't capture it, but still, mental note of awesomeness~
-
Scarlet Meister capture. :o
Yes, it's still worth celebrating every time.
-
Finally, after lots and lots of good runs failed right on the last spell card, I managed to 1cc Ten Desires on Hard w/ Reimu, and although it's still a trial version, it's my first Hard Mode 1cc.
Now, on to Marisa and Sanae, or maybe PCB Hard. :V

Excellent, PoFV Lunatic cleared with Reimu.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUf_UrTzOY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUf_UrTzOY)
Was quite a bit harder than I had anticipated, mostly due to Shiki, felt a bit too crazy to me in parts. Went through Extra with Reimu afterwards and it certainly felt quite a bit easier than when I cleared it the first time with Komachi and Shiki before going through the Hard Mode almost a year ago.
Anyway, four Lunatic Modes down and we're back in chronological order. Three Lunatic Modes left, time for Mountain of Faith, wonder if I can clear MoF, SA and UFO before TD's retail-release, would be nice if I could get some time to play GFW since I haven't really played that one yet.
-
PWG capture yes! In a real run too! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
-
UFO Hard 1cc with ReimuB!
It's been ages since I 1cc'd it with ReimuA, and I haven't touched Hard Mode really since...
So pulling this off was amazing. Captured RTG, Legendary Flying Saucer (at 3.xx power!), Purple Omen or whatever it's called, Vajra of Perfect Buddhism...
Definitely going on YouTube. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13912)
-
I'm not sure how much harder LFS is on the higher difficulties, but capturing any spell card is a great accomplishment :3
And then I see:
-Everything on that list.
Yep. Awesome :V
-
Give it a watch just for Stage 6. It's a really proud moment for me right now.

Wow, sounds like a nice run, congratulations! I'd almost say that capturing RTG is more impressive than LFS, though, never captured RTG, one of the two spellcards left for me on Hard Mode.
-

Rewatched the replay just now...
Failed Parasol Star Memories (sad face), Ichirin's first and third, Murasa's survival, Demon's Recitation and Superhuman.
20 Spellcard captures, 22 bombs and 11 deaths (mostly on stage portions)...
I need the motivation to do it with MarisaB before I get used to actually beating anything...
-
Once upon a time, I preferred Marisa B to Marisa A in EoSD and PCB. Eventually though, I decided Marisa A was better suited to my playstyle, and left her behind. Years later, I finally decide to 1cc with my old main.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13914
5/0 good enough? :V I can't say the run's technically impressive though, since it turns out I'm just as much of a border abuser as I ever was. Also I was only 23 points away from the 1000 point extend, phooey.
-
Give it a watch just for Stage 6. It's a really proud moment for me right now.
I swear you got gypped on Devil's Recitation. I hate it when you get trapped by the fast-moving shiny bullets.
I like the RTG and Shou fight all around :D. Considering Shou is up there with Orin in rage-inducing difficulty.
-
th12 Hard 1cc with SanaeB!!!
SanaeB's AOE attack trivializes almost everything in stage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Which character should I try next?
-
MarisaB :V
But nice!
MarisaB... Oh Marisa, don't you wish your shortwaves did slightly more damage?
-
Boundary of Humans and Youkai captured!
-
5/0 good enough?
No. :V
-
Mountain of Faith captures are still worth celebrating. m/
-
IaMP Lunatic 1cc! :o With Suika! I finally did it. Ended with one life left too. It's all thanks to Youmu's first card not taking a life, and Remilia deciding to be hittable. Messed up a bit on Marisa's last card though. :derp:
EDIT: Even better, the replay didn't desync.

Congratz~!~!~! I always found Suika to be one of the harder characters for storymode, though I never used the 2C trick on Reimu's last spell either, so maybe that's why...
For myself, a true default MS lunatic 1cc (http://i52.tinypic.com/2evtegj.png). I know I already did this technically, but I wanted to be able to submit a score. I was going to restart because of a stupid death on the stage 2 boss (followed by a bomb), but I decided to keep going anyway. Pretty average run, with a pretty good Shinki. Went in with 2 lives, died really early in, bombed once, captured lasers, bombed twice on Recitation, cleared 0/0.
-
Finally 1cc UFO on normal. So that means I've 1cc'd every main Windows Touhou game on normal! I guess the next thing to do is go for hard...
-
Taking a break from UFO, I did this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13960).
Oh me, and trying to milk too many time orbs and ending up dying too many times :V
-
Well, it was tough, but I beat Uwabami Breakers. :V Captured Drunken Life and Dreamy Death too.
-
Made it to stage 5 MoF Lunatic on a random run today. Nothing special I guess, but I'm happy to have finally broken the stage 4 barrier.
-
Congratz~!~!~! I always found Suika to be one of the harder characters for storymode, though I never used the 2C trick on Reimu's last spell either, so maybe that's why...
With that trick, I was able to get Reimu's life down to one firework left. Two slams (jB) killed the rest when I was actually able to hit her and not get knocked back.
Suika is probably one of the harder to win with in Story Mode probably because of Remilia. (though there may be other reasons) You get to fight ALL of her spell cards, and she's right before final boss Reimu. Most of my runs ended with Remilia taking all of my lives.
-
Got my first legit Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13987). I did one attempt at MoF with Marisa C for fun and captured many spell cards, died to Minoriko non-spells and stupid stuff in the stages, but reached Virtue of Wind God regardless, so I figured I'd be able to beat it if I bombed more. A shame nothing special was dodged in the 1cc run.
Now I've beaten PoFV (Aya, Medicine lolol) and MoF on lunatic!
-edit- managed another Peerless Wind God capture.
-
Way to go dude.
I managed to defeat Yukari. It wasn't fun at all and it took many damn attempts, many of those not even being Yukari killing me but the lack of a platform to land on whenever I took a hit. Not fun at all.
But it was worth it as I managed to clear through the rest of the game without problems at all. The rest of the game was a lot better imo. It really makes things more fun when you have solid ground you can stand on. Bottomless pits have nothing to do in a boss fight. But instead of comparing Yukari to Gate I have decided to compare her to Red from X7 instead because Gate is actually a pretty neat boss.
-
Whee, finally got my second Normal 1cc in PCB(SakuyaB this time.)!
More notably, imo, I've managed to, at least once, capture all but one of Yuyuko's cards on Normal now(Just missing Repository of Hirokawa -Ghost-).
Also I've finally managed to cap Banquet of 12 General Gods, thanks to the maid having unlocked Extra. I've gotten SO much farther with her in this short time than I had with Marisa who I unlocked way back when... Marisa's only seen up to Charming Siege From All Sides, while I've made it to Ultimate Buddhist with Sakuya...
Finally, though I'm a Normal shooter, I decided to try and get some Lunatic spells, for the practice as well as to get me closer to unlocking Phantasm once I beat Extra. I now have all the Stage 1 spells except Table Turning, and managed to capture Maiden's Bunraku L and Stygian Riverside L on my first time seeing either one.
Three spells and an Extra clear to go until Phantasm!
-
*insert wall of konnngarachibithumbsup.jpg here*
EDIT:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Yes, it's Yukari and not Nitori, but hey, doing a 1cc is a 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14017)
4 games I've 1cced :V
I'm particularly happy about the Stage 1-4 perfect and the fairly decent Okuu fight (and managing to capture Hell's Tokamak and Subterranean Sun).
-
Finally SA Hard 1cc. Down to last life, second-to-last bomb. Have to say it was harder than beating Extra.
Maybe I should wait a while until I try Lunatic...
-
Congrats on the Hard 1cc.
I recommend that you start working on SA Lunatic right away. It doesn't have to be anything serious. Just play some practice mode an hour or so whenever you can. Soon you'll be able to 1cc Lunatics left and right.
-

I did it... I really did it!
LLS Extra perfect!
-
Finally SA Hard 1cc. Down to last life, second-to-last bomb. Have to say it was harder than beating Extra.
I disagree. I still haven't beaten SA Extra but 1cc'd Hard with 4 lives left.
Keep in mind I hadn't done any playing of SA within 2 weeks prior to the 1cc.

1CC'd SA Normal with ReimuA, with tons of lives left. Of course, she's overpowered, so this probably doesn't count.
/semi-related: is there a more efficient way to stream the Stage 1 opening than vertical streaming?

All i know is you sure as hell cant do this on Lunatic. And I only know that from bruteforcing my way to Parsee on that difficulty.
The vertical streaming I mean. The bullets are in like, fans of 5-7(i dont remember), and there's no gap to move through.
-
YES! haha SA - Normal 1cc! finally its been forever and this game is getting quiet good, at first hated it because of the life system but its pretty good, a nice way of punishing yet rewarding at the same time.
-

Fine, fine, I'll go for a 1cc!
/semi-related: is there a more efficient way to stream the Stage 1 opening than vertical streaming?
As in easier? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14022) Or more graze-efficient? If it's the latter, vertical streaming will probably net you about 20 more graze or something, but that's pretty negligible anyway.

Lies, ReimuA is not overpowered, every other shottype is simply underpowered. No, really. This isn't anything close to, say, using Aya in PoFV, so don't feel bad about it. And congrats.
Um, horizontal streaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTbHYTGBEh8)?

Quoted For Divine Truth. Besides, its a bullet hell game. Just work with what you have. If there is unbalanced characters its the developers fault. Not yours.
Fine, fine, I'll go for a 1cc!
Its MoF and you can get past Stage 4. That's basically the 1cc requirements here. Go for a 1cc that scores over 750 million. >:D
--- or just whatever suits you. If its a first then measly 300M will suffice.

That was indeed me but I don't see any contradiction?
I just like my shottypes powerful and simple, that's all. If it means playing with a shottype that rapes any other type in the game then that's fine by me. Its not my fault the thing's unbalanced.

Broken characters are okay? ALRIGHT, MARISAB TIME!! And yeah, it'll be a first, I'm nowhere near score running MoF. I can't even perfect stage 1 most of the time =(.

Yeah? Work with what you have. As in, pick a good type instead of an awkward/bad one right?

Was working on SA extra many months back but I couldn't read Koishi's attacks at all back then. I think the farthest I got was polygraph or something. Gave her a random attempt today for the hell of it, SA extra clear first try (not including a couple pre-Sanae restarts).
I'm now down to Sigma, Nue, and Marisa.
-
Okay, I guess there really isn't a safer way to handle the opening without sacrificing graze points, so... vertical streaming it is.
Maybe I thought of it because I looked at some Lunatic plays and saw ginormous gaps and all.
-
For Phantasm Romance, is beating Mima the minimum requirement for a 1cc? Or do I have to finish whatever Extra I choose? I did make it into Extra 3 (replay attached), but gameovered after Alice because I don't know when shit comes up. I also chose not to do Extra 1 since Yukari keeps kicking my ass into next week.

Do it higher up if you're worried about graze, since the bullets stay close together when first shot.
-
Okay, one push remaining for the MoF Lunatic clear, Stage 5 unlocked for Practice Mode. As I thought, clearing the game is not exactly the biggest problem - doing it while not looking like the hero of a Michael Bay movie is the tough part. Guess I'll be spending some time developing strategies for Stage 4 and 5 before I go for the clear.

Yeah, The quality is low because I'm not a fan of waiting for hours to get a video upload. Also, critique and such is welcome.
I did try with 3 lives at the start and probably did a good bit better most of the way, except I game over'd during Kaguya's Rainbow Danmaku.
PS: I do have other replays uploaded if you guys want to check them out. :3

I could check one out for you.

Here's what I've got uploaded so far. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=Ranko+Hoshino&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=0)

I appreciate the fact that you play on difficulties beyond your level but I don't appreciate you starting with 7 lives. Play with default lives next time. Playing with default lives will make you better prepared to handle the other games in this series as IN is the only game that gives you that many lives.
Also. Don't be unfocused all the time. You don't do anything near optimal amount of damage while playing like that and I think it claims your life much more than it would need to. Use focus during boss fights at all times!
My advice can be summed up like this;
- Keep playing Normal mode - that's good for you. I also see on the replay page that you have attempted a bit of Lunatic. That's nice. Keep that up and you'll eventually start to see some improvement.
- Don't use anything but default lives. It will spoil you with a ridiculous amount of resources that no other game in this series is going to give you, let alone other shmups out there.
- Use spell practice and practice mode. A lot of the problems I saw in this run could be solved with some more practice.
- Try attempting really challenging spells in Spell Practice. Something really beyond your level. It might take a ridiculous amount of attempts to pull them off but you will really learn some dodging from all the grinding. Good recommendations are Mystias Card 21 and Asteroid Belt.
You will get better with time. The important thing is to never give up.

No bomb MoF Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14048)! This isn't exactly the hardest thing to do, for sure, but... it's funny how I got a perfect Stage 6 when my capture rate on Kanako's third card was like 1/50 and Source of Rain 0/50. Also perfect Aki, Hina, Nitori, wolf tengu, and boss Sanae (failed midboss non-spell). I died a million times on Aya.
With this I have captured every MoF Normal spell card!
-
I was about to say something about Momiji being harder than Aya, and then I realized Aya uses Peerless Wind God on Normal and higher :ohdear:
-
Normal Momiji is a pushover once you've tried her on Lunatic. Aya's first spell gives me the most trouble... I used to resort to pseudo-safespot it before, but it's hopeless when you have a shot-type that doesn't work when sitting in a corner.
-edit- Yet another PWG capture!

Thanks a lot. I'll do what I can. ^^b

UFO lunatic 1cc the...seventh I think? Bah, it's to the point where I can stop counting. :V Still, it was quite a close run, so I'm proud of it, despite some...unsavory deaths. Funny how I can often manage Byakuren with only one life in a full run.
-
You people and your skills and my lack thereof. Yeesh! I've been playing for more than 4 years and I'm still catching up. Anyway:
"Oh boy! Power's finally back on 54 hours after the tornadoes hit! I'll play SA since I haven't played that in months with ReimuB for yuks. Oops. I beat it and captured Hell's Artificial Sun even though I've never done that before."
Oops? Oops?! If I'm gonna oops, it's supposed to be the bad oops!
-
Captured Lost Soul's VIllage -Tracking Path- on my second attempt ever, and may already have Youmu's Stage 6 opener down (honestly doesn't feel any worse than her Normal opener).
Still have a long long ways to go before a 1cc, but Hard isn't as horrifying as I thought it would be. Only about half of Yuyuko's attacks feel different, and the rest (excluding lolstream) I suck at on any difficulty so it doesn't matter. :V
Still hate Stage 5 though.
-
Still hate Stage 5 though.
Don't worry. I hate that stage too.

Phantasm Romance Another Mode, Remilia reached (attached).
Well, it's progress. First time perfecting the first three stages in a row, so I gave Yukari a try. Still not "economical" at this point, but I have to admit, a good deal of her attacks are badass. Same with Sakuya, though oddly I'm missing the track for her boss fight. Gotta fix that.

Every time the words "Resurrection Butterfly" appear on the screen, I know I've won!

1cc Hard MoF with Marisa C (because Marisa C rapes stage 3,5 and 6,)
-
I got the 1 billion+ score with Reimu A on MoF Normal! This feeling is what I like about touhou, even if it might make me play worse :V
-

Its been a long while since last I played MoF but iirc my hi-score is like around some 900m so... good job. You score well at the most skill based score system in all of Touhou. :V
-
I got past midboss Ichirin on Lunatic!
Oh god what are these next fairies doing
speeewn
Give up and retry?
Yes Yes ye
>No No No
(I'm taking UFO Lunatic seriously now. Even though I just managed UFO Hard.)
-
MoF Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14081)
My first hard 1cc of any game...it was pretty easy, this was my second or third try because of severe lag during Hina's first two spellcards.
Maybe I should drop down from Lunatic and clear everything on Hard first. :V
-
Congrats on the MoF Hard 1cc you guys, I found that pretty tough. I'm certain both of you could 1cc PCB and IN on Hard if you wanted now!
Its been a long while since last I played MoF but iirc my hi-score is like around some 900m so... good job. You score well at the most skill based score system in all of Touhou. :V
Ha ha, thank you! I'm not sure about MoF scoring being the most skill based though. There's almost no reason for grazing. :wat:
-
EoSD Hard 1CC.
I fought Remilia blind and almost perfected her, dying only to Scarlet Gensokyo.
:o
Replay coming in like three minutes.
EDIT: Here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14087)
-
I'm not sure about MoF scoring being the most skill based though. There's almost no reason for grazing. :wat:
Well maybe not. But its the least retarded score system. No need to milk, heavy punishment for failure. How it should be.
-
No need to milk,
MoF? You mean that game where you have to bomb milk everything for score? As opposed to dodge milking everything?
-
Bah. Doesn't happen too often and not against bosses. And no bloody graze whoring.
-
Not too much of a fan of MoF scoring now. And you don't bomb everything for score in MoF. You generally bomb the final nonspells of bosses and dense stage parts. You still need to safely get items over the PoC.
Now, EoSD, IN, and SA scoring. That's quality there, just not something I've practiced enough on.
-
I've gotten PondeSuika's new SA Stage 5 path pretty much down, and also have an understanding of the Power progression through it. This path is a hell of a lot simpler than moozooh's, but hey, I still need to make sure I know what I'm doing. :V
Also, TD's scoring system isn't too bad itself, considering what we know of it so far. I'm kinda hoping some aspect of the game's second half (read: those +30 and +50 blue spirits rumored to be in the coding) will encourage the bombs/hypers to be a bit more spread out though.
-
Just went and cleared SA Extra at 60FPS, ReimuA.
...
I feel good. I died to only Rorschach in Danmaku and Philosophy of a Hated Person, and used only three bombs (two in the stage portion).
I also pulled off a successful borderhack in the third phase of Philosophy, which is "cool, maybe I'll try this again next time" in terms of my reaction.
Also, everything felt horribly easy.
Double Edit: Went ahead and cleared it with MarisaA. Also easy, captured Genetics of the Subconscious faster than with ReimuA in my previous just now run.
Except the game crashed and it doesn't wanna admit I'm badass enough to clear with dolls... :colonveeplusalpha:
Triple Edit: Thought I would go ahead and clear it with MarisaB... She's officially the weakest shot for Extra now. No arguing. I failed at Genetics.
-
Now, EoSD, IN, and SA scoring. That's quality there, just not something I've practiced enough on.
IN Scoring isn't bad no. Sure it got that, gotta graze on every fucking boring attack the first stages have to offer nature and the idea of grazing also invites more undue memorization as to optimize your scoring unlike MoF that is simply, raise your faith gauge and don't let it drop, capture spellcards and point items and don't die. But IN's still a good system. It awards succesful survival play pretty well with room to improve for those who like to prolong the boring opening stages as you time out everything only to mess up something afterwards and go through it all again.
PCB's ain't bad either. That one penalizes bombs which is a good thing. Just too bad that the game is so slow paced that slowdown is likely to cause the bullets to move backwards. SA though... suiciding and bombing for score? Not saying there isn't any skill involved but damn. I would love to see how well people could score in that game if they weren't allowed to bomb. Its basically like the IN score system but with an added layer of stupid on top of it.

To be fair, IN's system also rewards unfocused firing before the grazing.
Well, rewards this if you're Youmu, who can switch between sides very fast.
-
Phantasm Romance Another Mode 1cc (attached).
Decided not to do Yukari since I still suck at her, and of course this depends on your definition of "1cc" (beat Mima, but lost to Shinki's final phase). I'm not sure I care that I didn't go all the way.
-
Ive got a pretty bad Easy score run here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14114) but after all the derp midway through, I still manage to clear and break my personal record by about 8mil. Also, Flying Fantastica captured in Normal practice on an alternate score.dat.
-

I suppose it depends on the difficulty you're playing. I primarily play Lunatic mode in which I rarely have the liberty to go unfocused on things, so I'd assume that on Lunatic graze is more important because of all the bullets there are while shooting things unfocused is more important on Easy because there isn't that many bullets on the screen. Of course a mix of the two is always the best.

Mm, yeah. I always get confused when you talk about how awful the graze farming is in IN because I usually only score on Easy for it, where there's only a few cards that are really worth grazing (Reimu midboss for example), and most of those aren't even worth it unless you've practiced the hell out of them (Keine midboss anyone?). It's mostly just about no-focusing unless you need to keep familiars alive for time.
Anyway, the reason I came to this topic, VoWG (Hard) capture. After trying to perfect Kanako normal and failing several times because of her third card (which let me tell you, is complete bullshit), I messed around with slipping between amulets on Normal. The result was that VoWG hard was stupidly easy. The bullets felt really slow when I wasn't trying to run laps around them to avoid the walls. VoWG Lunatic? Maybe after I unlock stage 6 practice (read: 1cc) =p.
-

You know you don't need to pull a 1cc for that, right?
It's how I captured VoWG with MarisaC before I even unlocked stage 5~
-
I managed to capture Perfect Cherry Blossom the card (Yuyuko's second last) on Lunatic.
That leaves five cards on the list yet to be captured. Orleans Doll on Lunatic, Stradivarius, Ghost Clifford (H), Ageless Obsession L, and Kokuri-san's Contract.
-

Right, forgot I could just watch replays for MoF... *is incredibly anal about not using continues*

Nice!
And then it'll snowball to you spending countless hours on Fantasy Heaven.
Edit: I finally got a replay of a MarisaA SA Extra clear!
Yayz. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14139) Genetics capture, no luck on Philosophy.

It's past 0400, and with that, I managed to clear IN Extra just now :getdown:

No! Spend that time on SFN, UBS or whatever Ex-Keine's last word is called, instead. :V
-
Cleared IN Extra and Hard with ReimuKari, both not having been done in a long time.
Should be a good way to start the school year. :D

Pretty much.
-
More and more I get the feeling that I have a talent for pulling off things "cold". Take my latest stabs at IN, against my better judgment as always. :V I decide to face Marisa, and end up capturing Asteroid Belt first try. Moving on to Extra, Remilia wasn't working like she used to, so back to Border Team. Another no-deaths Extra (3 deathbombs) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14157), including my first ever capture of Mokou's 8th nonspell. :toot:
-
The attacks have names? News to me :V
Hey Naut.

MoF Normal cleared with ALL CHARACTERS
VICTOLYYYYYYYYYYYYY
(last one was MariC, with a MoF capture to boot :V )
The only Normal left that I haven't done with everyone is SA. :3
-
Played PoDD for the first time in months, got to stage 6 on Hard without a sweat.
-
Marisa Normal run in Ten Desires with no focus and no deaths :D
Almost perfect but I got trapped from Koishi a couple times so I had to use a few bombs

Hmm?
-
I'm guessing he meant Yoshika the kyonshi?
-
Or perhaps it's Kyouko
-
Kyouko does very little in ways of trapping on normal, though.
-
Marisa Normal
So what happened to "Sanity is for the weak, play on Lunatic!!!"?
Are you weak mister? :trollface:
Koishi
The Yiang-Shi? Or is it just some odd way of spelling Yuyuko that i'm not familiar with?
-
Broke 600m on PCB Hard. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14178)
hurr I sux0rz, gotta stop breakin' 'em borders. I managed to cap Resurrection Butterfly the "cheap" way though :V
-
Got back to trying to timeout spellcards from IN.
Managed to get Hourai Doll and Eirin's Last Word today.
-
After finally getting EoSD back and playing on it for a bit, I managed to do a Normal run through (with continues) without focusing. Somehow I ended up with one more life than I had finished with in my focused run on the same mode with the same amount of continues (all).
Hopefully I'll be able to brush up on my skills and 1cc on Marisa without dying at the last minute and breaking the computer.
-
Hey, I 1cc'd SA Hard! This means...
All standard Windows games 1cc'd on Hard or above~
I should probably go for PCB Lunatic next or something...
Youtubed my SA Hard 1cc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb7BsMIBfFI)
I no death'd all the way up to Border of Wave and Particle (not that I used... that many bombs. Except in stage portions.[/ur]
-
Cleared LLS Lunatic with ReimuB (wide shot) 0/0.
I wonder where I derped...
-
I decided to play a bit of Ten Desires today. Got some timeouts down and decided to work on a perfect lunatic stage 2 run.
Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_C2K1K6Iug&feature=channel_video_title) it is. It took me 5 or 6 runs to get this mainly due to me insisting on taking out the first non-spell the hard way and fucking up twice on the final spellcard.
I also got Poison Murder down to 8 seconds or so until I made a stupid mistake. Bugger. I'll be back for that card soon enough.
-
Phantasm Romance Another Mode, Mima reached with Extras (attached).
Because a 1cc without Extras wasn't enough. Making progress on Yukari (read: capturing her first Spellcard :toot:), but Remilia blindsided me a couple times. I have to wonder why Remilia can be damaged by bombs when Yukari can't. They're both "Extra bosses" in this game after all. But if I can just make it past Mima, cue tons of Point items raising my life count back up. :V
-
IN Hard 1cc.
Max lives :colonveeplusalpha:
I blame myself for choosing Eirin who i never fought before in 100 years.
But I still had 2 lives left over lolz
MoF Hard 1cc.
Working on lunatic mode, but can't stop the stupid deaths.
I had also 2-3 lives left over.

Fuck yes, oh my gracious yes!!!
My very first extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14209)
With Ran.
I feel this went extremely well up to about Unilateral contact. :V I captured Shikigami Chen the first time I saw it the other day, yet went dink when I had this fantastic run. Resource management at the end was scaring me. Oh well I finally got an extra clear!
(And here I was thinking Flandre was seriously going to come first)
-
I'm guessing he meant Yoshika the kyonshi?
I really feel like an idiot now :blush:, yes I was referring to Yoshika, not Koishi. I thought it didn't look right, worse thing is, I even looked it up and still got it wrong. I must of been really tired or really happy that I actually accomplished a no focus.
So what happened to "Sanity is for the weak, play on Lunatic!!!"?
Are you weak mister? :trollface:
The Yiang-Shi? Or is it just some odd way of spelling Yuyuko that i'm not familiar with?
I play on Lunatic, but can't 1cc yet, I'll get there one day. Figured I would run a no focus run on a diff I'm actually good at, plus I was just goofing around.

th11 Hard with all characters.

First ever capture of Guest Stars; now all MoF cards have been captured.
And on that run, no miss/no bomb stage 5 yay

Not really sure where to post this, so I'll dump it here. I think I'm the weirdo in a group of normal people. I can't play Border Team worth shit, but Netherworld Team turns Lunatic into a cakewalk. Surely I can't be the only one like this...
-
Netherworld team does make Lunatic easier than with Border Team. I still do better with Border Team because I always derp with the ghost team due to bigger hitbox and less deathbomb time when I mess up. But Netherworld team pretty much destroys Border Team in effectiveness.

EoSD Normal 1cc Reimu A
Almost got past Ca...um....Catadioptric for the first time, but not quite.
Got past Starbow Break using only one bomb, but only because some very lucky dodges were made. Honestly, I don't really think this card is that hard. I struggle more with Cranberry Trap, to be honest.
Also captured Kagome, Kagome.
Maze of Love, on the other hand, I hate with a burning passion.
-
Border Team is for people who feel like they need homing and the extended deathbomb timer (it's already long as hell for others). Deathbombing as Yukari gives Reimu's godly deathbomb, but it burns through bombs waaay quickly.
Comparatively, bombing as Youmu gives some of the highest bomb damage in the game, and using Yuyuko's deathbomb when you only have one left gives the strongest deathbomb. Yuyuko's spread also kills every stage, and Youmu... Well, strongest shot~
-
IN Lunatic Cleared with Border team...though that was with 3 continues. My main objective was to unlock Stage 3 for practice, but I decided to see how far I can go before 0500.
Additionally, I unlocked Marisa's and Reisen's Last Spell that run XD
-

If you're almost permafocused against bosses, Yukari's higher damage at distances and homing make her better for bosses. Personally, I prefer Ghost team because Youmu's absurd damage, although I'd probably do better with border team due to how reckless and bad I am.
-
Maybe that's it. I usually no-focus everything except stages (if I need to not kill familiars) or if I need to make some tight dodges, so I get lots of Youmu time (plus stage-trivializing Yuyu).
-
I love making progress with scorerunning. Because then I can whip out things like this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14226). I still need to learn the midboss card and most of boss-Yuugi herself, but I'm getting way more consistent at everything else. I should be able to break 7000 graze in the stage portion alone once I learn that card.

Probably the only place I'd agree that Netherworld Team is better for survival is Stage 3, since its enemies can flood the screen very quickly (Yuyuko's spread clears them out before they do) and Keine seems to emphasize killing familiars more so than other bosses (super-strong Youmu shot is super-strong). All the other stage portions aren't hectic/difficult enough to really warrant one team over the other IMO, but the relatively skinny bosses are arguably best dealt with using forward-focus (as is typical for this series). Yukari has the smaller hitbox, which is always better suited for this type of game, and she is also a "focused" shot unlike Youmu, making her movement feel more natural during micrododging sections (and let's be honest, it takes some getting used to the "tap focus then tap arrowkey" technique Youmu's shot calls for). The longer deathbomb timer is there, but obviously it's not something one should rely on anyway. There's also the fact that Reimu is immune to all familiar collision damage, though that's kind of situational.
-
But Netherworld team pretty much destroys Border Team in effectiveness.
Does not. That's how it is. As Funen said there is only 1 actual spot where the Border Team is inferior and that is Stage 3. And that can be handled just fine with Border Team too. It will just be a bit harder for them.
Calling them effective is probably not the best choice of words since battles will probably take longer with them if anything.

Captured Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" Lunatic but I used the safespot Xp Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCuUonf_r-Y) - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14242)
-
IN Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14243)
Damn, when was the last time I pulled off a single-stage accomplishment like this? Feels like forever. Anyway, done with Border Team because of that one debate earlier on this page. :V They're really not that inferior to the Netherworld Team in the stage portion after all. Keine took a bit of time to relearn her memorizeable stuff, and I just decided to go completely unfocused for Ephemerality 137 (save for the end).
-
That was a new way to go about it. I usually start out by shotgunning the enemies at close range and then moving all around the place. It seems there isn't any call for Netherworld Team at all. :V
-
My first completed Lunatic run without continues! Hooray!
...Yes, it was LLS. >_> Still, I'm pleased with myself.
-
1cc'd SoEW Hard with ReimuC. \m/
Maybe I'll retry Extra sometime, guh.
-
Yuyuko's Last Word timed out (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14247)
Every time I got to the part where it was glitching out was a relief as I find that part easiest, but I would always derp it, until this try.
I'm not sure how many people got this one before I did.
-
Today's been a good day for accomplishments...After seven months, I finally reached my original goal from when I started playing Touhou and defeated Ran. With an extra life to spare no less. Hooray! :3
-
I'm not sure how many people got this one before I did.
Me, Donut, Jaimers, Baity and SP are the only ones that comes to mind for me. Its pretty exclusive nevertheless. Good job with it.
-
Another UFO lunatic 1cc. I should feel bad that I'm pulling these out so easily now. :( 2/1 though, and there were at least two deaths with full bombs that came because I didn't want to bomb yet.
-
Yes finally! Resurrection Butterfly -80% Reflowering- recaptured! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14250) All that work with Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana this afternoon paid off after all. And no, I haven't timed out that card yet. 600 attempts and counting, but I honestly don't consider it as having the "time-out quality" of VoWG.
-
That's what you might think at first but then you like realize that its fucking awesome and go grind it some more. Its good for dodging muscles too!
-
Well whadayaknow? Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana successfully timed out (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14251), and less than 30 attempts after my last post too. :V
The reason I think it's not as good as VoWG is that it doesn't feel like a complete test of dodging skills. I know there's dodging the main lines of red butterflies, but more often than not you hardly have to move around for those. Not to mention that said main lines of red butterflies weren't even what killed me most, but rather their secondary waves fucking hiding behind the blue and purple ones. I might play it again to make sure I can read the red waves correctly, and only because I still want to perfect Yuyuko at some point. Other than that, good riddance I say.
-
I hate Border Team. I'll try Magic Team now...
See below

So much that. That was what killed me most. Really though, I wasn't really reading the main lines by the time I did it. It was more of memorizing certain angles, whether to move forward, to the back, or to the sides for them, whether to slowly move or to rush unfocused, etc. There was some read and dodge involved, but most of it was figuring out the patterns and properly executing it, and not getting luckscrewed by reds hiding behind the others or derping.
-
Yes! Finally, After this score run here, (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14252) I have just achieved a new personal best of 320 million, and on a related note, I can stop playing Easy as it is now "stamped".

For fast spell cards, use fast characters! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14253)
The end, say, 45 seconds left and later was getting pretty intense.
That second-last wave, I honestly had to guess where my character even was.
-
It's is the best I've done so far for this stage, at least. IN Stage 5 Lunatic, perfected everything except Reisen's Last Spell. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14256)
Most of Reisen's cards have a history of giving me trouble, so finally getting all of the normal ones in one run is quite satisfying. Another stage is now in reach that I thought wouldn't be for a while.

It's not so much about fast movement (which I'm implying you meant) than it is about fast reading. Anyway, congrats.

By some outrageous fluke, considering I suck at Touhou, I captured Three Sacred Treasures - Country.

Neither Sapz nor Naut. They are pretty bad at these games so... :V

Well, obviously not, since if he did it too, I'm #7 and not # 6, so Funen was #8, and we already have #9 with Mewkyuu.
So the question actually is, who is number 10 going to be.

IN Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14263)
First stab at Reisen today, and it seems I maintained my surviving ways from last night. :V

Managing to waste all my bombs and lives on fucking Reisen in Practice Mode on easy mode.
I am the worst Touhou player ever.

Hooray, I captured Yoshika's 2nd spell on Lunatic! I'm proud because it's my first Lunatic capture ever. x3
I wish I had a replay, but sadly it was a continued run...
-

Okay... how did you capture Yoshika's second card without capturing anything else that run?
Perfected Aya twice in a row. (Which is pretty kickass). Then perfected Kanako, Nitori and Sanae. It seems I can still play MoF despite a pretty long time of absence.
I also managed to get myself killed by Hina... by running into her at the midboss card. Apparently something decided I needed to die to that midboss card one day and that it was certainly not by bullets.

IN Stage 4B Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14268)
Yaaaaaay. *falls over* I'm done for the night.
EDIT: No new posts, eh? Well, here's a PCB Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14285). Despite several massive derps with bombs in stock, the Yuyuko fight went really well. I think I'm officially "good at" Resurrection Butterfly now. And dude, ReimuB's focused bomb might as well be nonexistent and I wouldn't notice a difference. :V
EDIT #2: PCB Stage 6 Lunatic 1DNBNBB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14286) (death on Yuyuko's 3rd card).
Holy crap. I'm this close I tell ya.
-
I know this is a double-post, but considering no one else posted yesterday (surprisingly) and what I have here, I hope this is warranted enough (merge the posts if not, of course).
PCB Stage 6 Lunatic perfect run (MarisaA). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14296)
Oh my God, my heart was pounding when I got to Resurrection Butterfly. Seems no matter how many times I do make it to there, I'm as nervous as ever. But it was a great relief to complete the job this time, and I can now say I've perfected a full Touhou game.

I think I finally figured out a good way to do Earth in a Pot. Surprisingly, I'm also having a bit of fun trying to learn Eirin, so I could have some progress there.

Thanks. And yeah, Stage 5's stage portion is arguably harder to perfect than Orin, but since it obviously comes first...

Not really. I hated the Stage 6 spam a lot more.
And Aya keeps saying no to that one. ::)
-

Well that spam is shorter... but pretty nutsy. I just bombed that when I went to perfect Yuyuko myself. At that time I didn't care too much about perfecting stages.
And Aya only says no because you let her say no. You must be a man and teach that woman her place. :D
For me, its actually more of a question of getting past Momizi than capping VoWG - believe it or not.
-
Yay, cleared PCB Phantasm! I managed to do it with an extra life to spare, which was better than I expected.
-
just 1CC'd IN hard with Reimu solo and unlocked the last 2 Last Words I needed
-
I randomly gave Imperishable Night another try on Hard mode. I actually got all the way up to Reisen's next-to-last regular Spell, which is a personal best so far. :3

IN Stage 6A Lunatic 1D2B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14338)
Those bombs were part of a deathbomb on Apollo 13 (of course), and I died on Hourai Elixir with 2 seconds left because a fast white bullet completely walled me. ::) Still, that's my best run so far. I'll probably want to get a better understanding of Apollo 13 before trying this again.

I think it's safe to ay that with that kind of score.

No, sir. I started with 3 lives.

Yay, I finally captured Omoikane's Brain and Apollo 13 in the same run.
Too bad I completely fucked up Astronomical Entombing in the process.

No death'd EoSD Normal up to Sakuya's second spell.
Should've stocked up on bombs after Stage 2 :V

Cleared th12 Hard Mode with SanaeA and Reimu A.
That Byakuren killed me again on the last spell while dying for the fourth time.
The first three times that led to a game over screen, but this time luckily I had a spare life.
It would have been a capture if I did manage to survive, but I beat the game, and that's what matters for now.
Now who should I try next? ReimuB or MarisaA or MarisaB?

Nice! I like that.
-
Attempted Lunatic VoWG and found that I have improved a lot. I seem to find the gaps between amulets much easier now, and I might have a good chance of capturing it if I use ReimuB. 2DNB is my best using ReimuA. My biggest problem seem to be reading ahead, it's always unexpected walls that gets me, not mistakes in movement. I keep getting hit at least once during her opener, but everything else Kanako got is not that bad for me now.
-
It was always mistakes in dodging that got me when I did the timeout.
But I barely play the card now, so I make mistakes with movement and reading often nowadays.
-
MoF Lunatic No Focus 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14355)
Cleared with 3 lives left. No one attempted this yet? Maybe because it's too easy.
-
I tried it before and game overed on Kanako's final nonspell. Wasn't able to get a decent run again. It is very doable though, but almost everything becomes autobomb.
-
Well, this was fun.
Yukari, no deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14356)
-
made a rusty attempt on pcb with more border manipulation and graze whoring, came out with 2 lives 3 bombs due to lack of concentration, compared to my highscore with 5 lives 0 bombs. the run i just did was 40mil away from my highscore, could surpass my score with more lives. but anyway nice accomplishment for a rusty run.
-
IN Stage 4A Lunatic 1DNB run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14362)
That death was on Reimu's Last Spell, so all of the normal parts of the stage were perfected. I think that's a good enough accomplishment for now, though I'll have to see if that Last Spell is completely memorizeable (I've always had the sneaking suspicion it wasn't entirely).
-
IN Lunatic No Focus 2cc.
hey, it's a start. I got to Tewi on my first credit, but 0/0 No Focus Tewi wasn't happening for me. Screw you stage 4, and to a lesser extent Stage 2 and 3.
-
SA Extra Clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14365)
First clears feel so exhausting, both mentally and physically.
EDIT: Oh and I just noticed, don't mind the beginning part. I was just trying something new and it apparently didn't work, but I got past it with no death anyways (just a loss in power) so I decided to suck it up. I know how to do that part properly.
-
I got to Danmaku Chimaera at 90FPS.
My god UFO Extra is so fun this way. Using ReimuB for her bomb damage. You just have to watch my (failed) run and try it...
-
Two more Last Words captured!
Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14367)
Ancient Duper (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14368)
Both of these took me less than 10 tries to capture.
So far, that's 7 8 Last Words captured. Out of 10 I have unlocked so far. (Gotta work on Wriggle's, Keine's, and Kaguya's as well as unlocking the rest)
EDIT: Took me 84 attempts tonight (114 total) but I FINALLY CAPTURED TREE-OCEAN OF HOURAI (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14371)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm tired
-
Since I like playing IN so much despite it mostly being easy,
IN Lunatic No Focus 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14374)
The run is completely bad though.
-
FINALLY BEAT THE POFV LUNATIC MATCH MODE AI
Although it was Reimu vs. Yuka so I kind of feel that's like using Aya for Story Mode but whatever :V
(also Gensokyo.org isn't letting me upload this so I had to attach it here :/)
-
I played myself a run of UFO Extra with MarisaB. It wasn't difficult but I found something awesome. MarisaB is actually quite competent at Unidentified Darkness. Turns out there is one thing she is good for.
She did turn the Red UFO card into a timeout adventure though. Well, I beat it but it didn't have much time left. I guess there might be another way but it would be fun to time it out one day. Even if it would be really easy to do.
-
Cleared EoSD Normal with Marisa A! Only Reimu B to go and I'll have all the characters unlocked for the extra =D
After screwing up so badly on Cirno (death on her first non spell, bomb on her second spell card) I thought I was dead for sure but I did a lot better than I expected on stages 4, 5 and 6 (maybe a little rusty on Patchy) and that got me the 1cc. I'm mainly focusing on unlocking the extra with all four characters right now, but after that I'm going to try and 1cc the game with default lives.
I think I'm in love with Marisa A. Because of her power I managed to capture Silent Selene AND Royal Flare in the same playthrough, getting to Flan with 3 lives and 3 bombs. Unfortunately things went really sour from there.
-

:D Just don't complain about her movement speed~
Replay?
-
Would this be considered an accomplishment of some sort?
Entering MoF Stage 6 on my last life, score was high enough that I couldn't get any more extra lives. Lost that life on VoWG Hard
-
I pretty much cleared Fantasy heaven with solo Marisa.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14408
-
Cleared PCB on hard with 1bil+ score!!! i'm sure happy about this run and a few.
-
:D Just don't complain about her movement speed~
Replay?
I didn't save a replay of that particular run (and I need to learn how to upload them to the site anyway) but I'll try and get a better one up soon. I unlocked Reimu B's extra just today and also FINALLY got past Catadioptric, although I was so jumpy knowing that Counter Clock was coming next that I died to her easiest nonspell >>. I knew I'd have trouble jinxing.
On a related note, died a bomb-less death on Maze of Love...and that was it. That's the best I've done so far on that card.
-
Another of those partial fail partial accomplishment posts. Wanted to make a better SA hard run, but it turned out to be a total flop (rammed sideways into Orin's bullets on her first nonspell twice for a gameover, among other things). But I perfected stage 3's stage portion (including midboss) so that was cool :V
EDIT: Gave MoF Hard another runthrough because I haven't tried it since I first 1cc'd. We'll just say my first 1cc was so bad that this run here almost doubled the score (325M-->610M). I'm really pleased with this one though. No death until a clipdeath on Aya spell 2, I think there was 1-2 deaths on Sanae and one on Kanako (second last spell, was at 0 power). Also capped VoWG again, making it my second cap, my second consecutive cap, and my first cap outside of stage practice :3.
-
Second victory over Lunatic Match Mode: Cirno vs. Sakuya.
-
Out of nowhere. An EoSD MarisaA hard 1cc. First try today and I got it, with nothing left either. I've not been playing this game for some time and did that. I need to play lunatic on that game more often now. :V
-
th06 Hard Mode all character and shot type clear.
FFTing Reimila.
-
Gave Koishi a run at 60FPS today. I captured Genetics and Rorschach and Subterranean Rose and everything.
The only things stopping me from perfecting that run were the GODDAMN NONSPELLS DIE IN A FIRE.
-
EoSD Extra Marisa A, "Four of a Kind" capture. Thought the run was going to be really good, but then I ran into Flan because my left key wasn't working again. >> This computer's left key is weird; it only works if you press it further on the outside, aka away from the down key. Sometimes it doesn't respond and kills me. This was one of these times.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/DqyVy.png)
The last frontier.
-
Captured Four of a Kind again today. Almost captured Catadioptric, but only because I was concentrating really, really hard.
-
17/17 Last Words captured got the last 2 today (Reimu's & Yukari's)
Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PwFmCof_n0)
now to try timing a few of them out lol should be fun
-
YES I CAPTURED BORDERLINE OF WAVE AND PARTICLE ON LUNA - *pichuun at the same time as Satori* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Well it was close. At least I finally captured Double Black Death Butterfly.
-
I suppose 90fps PCB Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14493) is an accomplishment.
Didn't seem that hard though. :/

This month's achievements:
- SCC on PCB with Sakuya A on easy mode
- SCC on Embodiment with Reimu A on easy
- My best achievement so far: SCC on Subterranean with Reimu/Suika on easy, by the skin of my teeth, through judicious abuse of power, and losing 3 lives on Okuu's final spellcard.
Don't stare at me, I'm just getting started ?? the first time I played a Touhou game I lost like 2 lives to Rumia and the rest of them to Cirno ??
-
Kinda minor, but this felt like an achievement to me
I decided to take a break from trying to 1cc EoSD and tried PCB extra instead. Previously I could only get to Ran's first spell (once or twice). On my first try, the same thing happened. On my second try however, I got all the way to Princess Tenko's Illusion, capturing Banquet of 12 General Gods in the process.
On my first encounter with the spell =D

Unlocked Lunatic practice mode stages 1-5 with Reimu A. With continues, of course. Remilia killed me on her first card.
Also beat Sakuya in practice Lunatic afterwards. No idea how I survived her last card with only one bomb o.o
-
Its been a while since last i posted in this thread so uhmm.. I just got my 25th Peerless Wind God capture today. Uhmm, yay?
I'd wish I was just half as consistent at Kogasa's 3rd. :(
It might just be me who is asleep whenever I get there however.
-
'sbeen a while too.

MS no bombs lunatic 1cc.
Perfect first three, ran into bullet, died to Mai, failed laser steaming like a tard and anticlimactic Shinki battle.
I also spontaneously died when the Shinki battle started... at the bottom of the screen. What the fuck. :wat:
With this though it means that I've 1cc'd every regular shooter's lunatic without bombing. :]

VoWG Lunatic NDNB Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14528)
I thought I was just getting lucky when I captured VoWG run after run (ReimuC) then I attempted a timeout and got it on my first try!
Also first non-spell (again) and divining crop NDNB timeout.
More timeouts, all in lunatic.

Awesome job Aizo. You never cease to amaze whenever it comes to MoF. ;)
Try timing out Sanae's second to last spellcard. I forgot what it was called. I've always wanted to pacify that but never managed to pull it off.
@Jaimers91
I think you experienced a glitch. I don't know what triggers but i'm pretty sure I've seen Donut post about it somewhere so ask him if you need to know.
-
YES FRIGGITY YES (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14546)
@Jaimers: Yeah, that happens sometimes. The glitch, I mean.
-
Hmm, I thought the Shinki Bug only occurred if you were at the top of the screen. First time this happened.
Anyway, I uploaded the no bombs run. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dam4ZHAmck)
-
Captured Legendary Dream Vine on Hard. First time I've ever been able to pull that off :P
Also, does anyone else think that the jump from Hard to Lunatic is too much on EoSD? Because I find Hard alright although it is pretty challenging, but Lunatic is just a huge ragequit for me.
-
For some reason, despite having perfected Utsuho countless times before, this last one feels a little extra special. Probably because I've been away from SA for so long (again ::)).

Wait, did I just clear PCB Hard? (http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9352/hardclear.jpg)
Oh snap, I did! Entered Resurrection Butterfly on my last life and no bombs left, too! (Replay) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14573)
Go me!
Wow, it hasn't been a year since I started playing Touhou, and I already cleared two games on Hard. Time to work on IN Hard

Was that a five default lives clear?
-
Another accomplishment: EoSD Extra CLEARED!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14575)
-
Was that a five default lives clear?
yes, i started with five lives because my typical run of Hard is a 4cc. :ohdear:
-
I decided to put default lives 1cc'ing EoSD on hold and go for one of the easier 1ccs, PCB. After about 3 days of practice mode and a bunch of fails, I'd glad to say that my first 3 lives start normal 1cc goes to Perfect Cherry Blossom (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14579)!
And with 6 lives in stock at the end too! :D
First life lost to a stupid death on Lily White, the rest of the stage also was a bit screwed up.
Died again to freaking Phantom Dinning, I think this is the first time o.O
Screwed up Youmu's opener
As well as Gaki, damnit
Trapped on 200 Yojana in 1 slash
Karmic Punishment Captured =)
Delusion of Enlightenment Captured
Screwed up on 5 Signs of the Deva
Yay for Border at the stage 6 spamfest
Still haven't managed to get Ageless Obsession right
Meh on Fatal Sin
Still not very good at turning in the following nonspell
Swallowtail and Repository Captured, Law of Mortality failed again
And I failed the easiest nonspell of Yuyuko
HELL YEAH first capture of Sumizome Perfect Blossom, though a lot of situations were very close. I still don't understand this spell
And finally a capture at Ressurection Butterfly
Oh well, off to the other characters now :)
-
Beat Remilia on Lunatic with continues. Almost beat her with only 2 but ended up using my 3rd one right at the end >>
edit: No-death (twice) + pacifist Patchouli on Marisa A Normal. Beat her all times.
First no-death: 3 bombs on actual Patchy, 1 bomb and 1 death on her stage.
Second no-death: 4 bombs on Patchy, 1 death on stage
Pacifist (only Patchouli): 2 deaths, and on her third spell card I gave in and bombed. But I got a perfect timeout of Emerald Megalith and Agni Shine High Level :P
-
OH MY GOSH. DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN!? IS THIS FOR REAL!?
UFO LUNATIC 1CC
omg this is so surreal. im still in shock. this wasnt my greatest run but gdi ill take it. This may have taken months to complete but im actually starting to enjoy this game more and more. Welp now i can finally go back and do some other games. I'm excited for SA :3
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14580)
I recommend that you at least watch stage 6 of this run. Ignore LFO tho i kinda screwed that up :derp:
-
Phantasm Romance Another Mode 1cc, including the first two Extras (replay attached).
Been a while since I played this game. Still didn't do as well as I'd like against Yukari and Remilia, but at least I beat Mima on one credit. So do Extras 3 and 4 have additional requirements to unlock? Because I wasn't able to play them this time. And I was all set to get my life count back up too. ::)
And congrats ShadyK.
-
You have to have at least 3 spare lives after Mima.
-
My best attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14583) at scoring SA Stage 3. Aside from the three parts where I didn't follow the ideal scoring path, the only mistake was dying stupidly on boss-Yuugi's opener. I think I'm almost ready to try another full run. Having to go through parts of Stage 3 with no lives obviously leaves no room for error, but I'm more comfortable with what I can do at this point.
-
IN Hard cleared :3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14585) Now this makes 3 games cleared on Hard. Maybe I should work on getting that 1CC for SA and UFO Normal
-
PCB 1cc Sakuya B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14591)
Clap clap clap decided to do it and got a 1 cc with my second character. Now to go after Marisa A. Though I was really surprised I didn't ragequit again after all the derp and BS this run had. :V
-
GFW Extra clear!!!
The run before the clear ended at her survival card.
This run I had 4 lives going into it.
Second try after re-unlocking it.
-
So I'm trying out that DFK Hibachi script for Danmakufu. Getting Flandre-bachi's last phase down to half health (with both ReimuB and MarisaA) already feels like an achievement, though I just can't save enough resources with either character to get through the whole thing.
EDIT: Danmakufu's DFK Hibachi script cleared with MarisaA (replay attached).
Marisa was really the only one I could semi-consistently do the first phase's second attack with. Reimu's too slow for me to do it.
-
felt like playing IN at 90fps holy shit that was so much fun to clear. the run itself was far from what I'm capable of but I did cap Morning Mist so I'm rather pleased with myself, I'm so inconsistent at it normally.
I've got my eye on an SA/normal clear next. wish me luck :/
-
So like
Marine Benefit Lunatic clear. Because you just need that many lives to stock up for the final boss.
-
July 5th is the day where it's been one year since I started playing Touhou. Within one year, I have
Cleared EoSD Normal and Extra
Cleared PCB Normal, Hard, Extra, and Phantasm
Cleared IN Normal, Hard, and Extra
Cleared PoFV Normal
Cleared MoF Normal, Hard, and Extra
Cleared SA Normal
(I'm not counting Easy mode)
Go me! :3
I have 2 days to clear UFO on Normal, and possibly SA Extra

Geez, I've only got PCB Normal under my belt(Working on Extra bit by bit, though I'm easily distracted by other stuff too), and I've been playing since...March? Nicely done indeed!
-
....I think I may be close to 1ccing EoSD Hard. Default lives.
I got past stage 5 without continuing (Reimu B), although I unfortunately didn't get past Sakuya's stage 6 midboss form. But this was when I accidentaly set the bombs to only 2 instead of the usual 3, so I may actually be able to pull off the 1cc given time.
Also captured Meiling's midboss card (can't be bothered to look up the name) on Hard mode for the first time. It was easier than I expected and ended quickly; probably because of Marisa A.
Captured Princess Undine in my Hard attempt as well :3 For some reason this card seems easier than Bury In Lake. I guess I find the bubble bullets less intimidating than the smaller ones.
-
Geez, I've only got PCB Normal under my belt(Working on Extra bit by bit, though I'm easily distracted by other stuff too), and I've been playing since...March? Nicely done indeed!
Thanks! You'll get Extra done! You can do it! You managed to clear PCB Normal in such a short amount of time. It took me longer to clear it on Normal. Confession: I cleared Extra before I cleared Normal :V
After you clear Extra, Phantasm shouldn't be that big of a problem.
-
Finally got to Counter Clock...wow, I was so nervous that I died on the first wave. I had two bombs, too. But I'm getting closer to beating Flan! XD
Started with only two lives and 3 bombs as well. I think this is a good sign.
-
Finally managed to record a decent HRtP scorerun. By suiciding about 20 times :V
But as I may have lag (I had some on my last computer, and the PC-98 emulators hate me, so...) I don't know if it's really legit or not.
Score : 13,6 million (Makai)
14 million should be attainable in Makai Route by max-comboing every stage, but that requires quite a bit of luck in stage 8 and 17 (though it's far from impossible). 11 has the annoying tendency to leave cards in the bottom corners after the slide-bomb, and the orb gets stuck all the time at the beginning of 18, so it's already annoying enough like this for me.
Anyway here's that bomb crapfest : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8HWTnPEDW4
-
UFO Stage 4 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14612)
I was half expecting to get destroyed by Murasa's third nonspell, as usual. But I was surprisingly calm when that didn't happen. Glad this one's out of the way.
-
Ok, so accidentally bombed Shou's rotating green lasers spell card when I almost capped it, but otherwise perfect Shou Hard.
No replay because ACCIDENTAL BOMB MAKES REPLAY USELESS FFFFFFFFFF
-
Woot! MS normal 1cc. I know it's not much but I haven't paid that much attention to this one. I've been doing LLS lately.
Also, how did I die?! The beginning of Shinki's fight, I just upchucked and died for no apparent reason! What the heck? (fighting Shinki with no lives wasn't fun at all)
-
^ Shinki derpbug.
Beat my previous UFO Normal MarisaA record by a nice amount, but I've yet to break 300m :(
-
EoSD Extra Stage perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14619)
Hellz yeah. Just after finally relearning Royal Flare too. Flandre's survival card was a surefire case of "never give up, never surrender" (see for yourself), and to top it all off, this was my first ever Q.E.D. capture. It couldn't have come at a better time.
-
I may not be quite as good as the rest of you in all of this, but yesterday marked a defining moment in my Touhou-play: I finally scored my first 1CC of a Windows-era game. Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Normal, ReimuA.
-
Cool, congrats.

Hmm... your first windows era 1cc eh? Does that mean you don't play easy mode? If that's the case then congrats. EoSD is probably one of the hardest Normal 1ccs. I remember that was one I had trouble with. That and SA.
-
It's been a long time since I posted in a Touhou Achievement thread.
673m is a personal best. And this run was "on fire" for me.
Reaching Stage 6 with 8 lives? Never before.
Well, achievement unlocked. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14630)
:sunglasses:
[/bad joke]
-
I keep getting past Starbow Break with only one bomb used. Wondering if I could go for a capture soon-ish.
-
Touhou EoSD Hard mode 1cc! right here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14635)
My thoughts on it....
Could have used bombs more, perfect stages 4-6
Remi wasn't too bad, wish i could've captured Scarlet meister, i know its not too difficult, just at times badly positioned just like her last spell, but i did manage one thing, after her needle spell, her non spell just immediately activated without most people getting to POC, which i managed to without dying =D but usually i fall for that trap, and die.
EDIT: Touhou 10 MoF Hard 1cc! OMG how can i F**** Up Kanako's 2nd Spell? and that knife one -.- and one final death due to not concentrating at reimu's hitbox led to a death at Source of Rains, and a deathbomb at 0 sec on kanako's final card lolol
Score: 409,472,120
Hehe 2 new Hard 1cc in one day epic.
-
My best attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14637) so far at supergrazing the first half of SA Stage 4 (up to the end of midboss-Orin #2).
If there's ever a time when danmaku becomes a "game of pixels", this must be it. :V I'm still hundreds of graze points behind pondeS though.
-
These are pretty old but I did a Reimu No Miss No Bomb No Trance No Shot No Focus (http://score.royalflare.net/th13/replay13/th13_ud00b5.rpy) run of TD trial Normal and a Youmu No Miss No Bomb No Focus and all spell cards captured (http://score.royalflare.net/th13/replay13/th13_ud00b6.rpy) TD trial Normal. TD is the easiest game ever, even easier than MoF, and MoF is probably the only game that I'm ok-ish at. I hope stage 4 and onward steps it up a bit.
-
Hello all, I'm new to this board so I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce myself a little with some of my achievements
I've been playing Touhou games since i was introduced to them last February or March and this is what I've accomplished:
EoSD - Normal 1cc, Hard 1cc, Extra Clear
PCB - Normal 1cc, Extra Clear, Phantasm Clear
IN - Normal 1cc, Hard 1cc, Extra Clear
PoFV - Normal 1cc
MoF - Normal 1cc, Extra Clear
SA - Normal 1cc (Finally!!)
UFO - Nothing at all! I still have yet to 1cc UFO
And that's most of everything I guess.
-
So someone challenged me to timeout StB 8-3 after taking a few shots to make it harder. So I did it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14650)
Also timed out Ex-4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14653) (BoWaP) as well. That wasn't so bad, after I learned that safespots hurrrrrrrrrr
Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsA2G-7Lgpc) of both
-
Boo-yah, semi-perfect MoF Stage 5 Lunatic while preparing for a 1CC, used two bombs for scoring purposes in otherwise easy non-boss parts, don't think I would have used them had I known what this would be turning into. Still, nice to know that I can pull this off.
-
TD is the easiest game ever
Hopefully things will pick up during the last three stages! ;)
Hello all, I'm new to this board so I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce myself a little with some of my achievements
Welcome around. Pretty new to this series huh? Your accomplishments aren't bad for your playtime. Good luck with UFO.
-
Welcome around. Pretty new to this series huh? Your accomplishments aren't bad for your playtime. Good luck with UFO.
Thanks! This series has had a bit of an addicting effect for me since I was introduced. I hope to 1cc UFO soon but it's extremely easy to mess up the ufo collecting (at least for me). And i sort of get frustrated easily at unexpected deaths, so 1 mistake tends to snowball into many.
-
That UFO collection can be a bother. I always have bad luck with it. Either the UFO's I need always fly somewhere I can't get to them or they swap colors just before I pick em' up. I haven't 1cc'd the game either. Not at my preferred difficulty level anyway.
I hit up Satori a couple of times today and I managed to get myself timeouts of all her stuff. Outside of FIN, its nothing new however. DBDB is still quite a mouthful for me. It took about 8 attempts to do it.
I also had a most epic attempt against FIN where I died at the last few seconds. That spell is a lot of fun. Especially when you realize the benefits of moving around a lot instead of treating it like conventional streaming.
-
Why is it I don't play against Satori that much? She's still quite fun despite only having two randomized attacks (with ReimuA at least). Went through her once earlier. Still died on DBDB, but somehow it didn't feel as difficult as it used to be. I also got another FIN capture and pulled off the BoWaP safespot (for scoring practice of course). And yeah, FIN's streaming feels more like something out of a Cave game with the larger motions you need (even if it's not as fast :V).
-
TD is the easiest game ever, even easier than MoF, and MoF is probably the only game that I'm ok-ish at. I hope stage 4 and onward steps it up a bit.
Really? I thought it was sorta tough'ish. Nothing like UFO, but maybe around SA level. Still can't get my NMNBNT run, I keep one mistaking Yoshika, usually on her last nonspell for some reason.
Oh, and happy birthday Funen!
-
Well, my birthday was yesterday, but thanks. ;)
Back on-topic, getting more consistent at supergrazing the first half of SA Stage 4. Only problem is, following every step to the letter in Practice Mode means I can't do the same for the second half. So it seems the only time I'll be able to do a full stage scoring run is in a full game scoring run...
-
UFO Lunatic perfect stage 2. Kogasa is awesome. :D
replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14675) and youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At8qJd6spfk)
-
EoSD default lives Normal 1cc Marisa A
Not too happy with how I did on Remilia. Died once on Scarlet Netherworld, once on Curse of Vlad Tepes, then twice on Red Magic. I guess I got careless because I entered the stage with 4 lives and gained another one during the fight. :P
-
I've been attempting UFO normal with only SanaeA so far. I'm wondering if a different character/shot type might help a little.
-
Do SanaeB.
She is best IMO.
-
Reimu A if you have trouble with the bosses, Sanae B if you have trouble with the stages. Marisa A if you're awesome.
-
MarisaA does like 99% the damage ReimuA does, but has piercing which makes some parts way easier. And also she's awesome.
Too bad her bomb is kinda crap though.
-
It's been some time since I did it, but I think it's worth mentioning.
IN Extra Cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14680), Reimu&Yukari, first time ever capture of "Possessed By Phoenix" and "Hourai Doll", which unlocked "Imperishable Shooting".
So where am I now? Lets see...
All main Windows games 1CC'd on normal with all Reimus (except IN solo Reimu, need to beat Kaguya with Malice first, and PoFV, extra unlocked though).
PCB Extra - Reimu A
IN Extra - Reimu&Yukari
MoF Extra - Reimu A and B
What next? Continue attempting extras or go to Hard?
-
Marisa A if you're awesome.
Yay, Naut called me awesome! :D
Anywho, yeah, I also say MarisaA. ReimuA is too slow for my tastes, ReimuB homing is cool but she's kinda weak, SanaeB is really overrated imo (though the majority seem to disagree...), and MarisaB/SanaeA just suck. Also laz0rz.
-
Another default lives Normal EoSD clear, this time with Reimu A ^^ I'm getting better at this.
...Crap, I bet I jinxed it.
-
SanaeA just suck.
But but but she's got virtually the same damage output as SanaeB minus the shotgunning and splash damage. And if you need SanaeB's bomb damage to clear cards then you are probably playing at 90FPS should try to get a little further in cards. And she doesn't have a blindingly bad bomb for Flying Fantastica (humorously, MarisaB is the only other character with a good bomb for it...).
-
I was thinking about trying to use MarisaA actually, simply because lasers = awesome. But I'll experiment around with other characters like SanaeB and ReimuA as well.
-
I just captured Apollo 13 on Lunatic, hell yea!
-
I haven't been playing much due to various issues, but I picked up the 10D demo on a whim and out of the blue made my first perfect of Kyouko. Now that I think about it, the full version is due in about a month, isn't it?
-
Now that I think about it, the full version is due in about a month, isn't it?
Yeppers, almost on the dot. I am very excited... :3
-
Yeppers, almost on the dot. I am very excited... :3
yeah, but you know you're going to have to wait at least another month or so for an english patch.
on another note, I finally pulled through with a normal 1cc of IN, although, not properly... I elected to start with 6 lives, and it took ALL of them (Including the extends) to do it. Methinks more practice is in order. Replay
here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14690)
-
Uwabami Breakers 1cc.
Stage 3 is a bitch if you don't know what to expect.
-
Mountain of Faith Lunatic Reimu B 1CC at last. Had a lot more trouble with it than I thought, but it was fun, even though the last run wasn't the prettiest. I think the epic finish makes up for it, though, had a lot of fun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFH9vpSUNf8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFH9vpSUNf8)
Regardless, only SA and UFO left, hope I can clear them before TD's release in shops outside of Comiket!
-
Managed timeouts of all Satori's spells with Reimu now. Marisa is up next. Damn, that Nitori card is gonna give me nightmares. Thank goodness Satori's stage is one of the fun ones. I had pretty much no problem with any of the Reimu/Satori cards except for Mt. Tokagushi. Which I spent around 30 attempts timing out. Compared to 7-8 at DBDB. Whut. The. Fuck? Isn't Tokagushi supposed to be pretty easy? Or is that just Banana-nonsense again?
I'd love to hear some opinions about Mt. Tokagushi's difficulty.
Anywho, yeah, I also say MarisaA. ReimuA is too slow for my tastes, ReimuB homing is cool but she's kinda weak, SanaeB is really overrated imo (though the majority seem to disagree...), and MarisaB/SanaeA just suck. Also laz0rz.
I'd say that SanaeB is quite awesome. She has power enough to deal with pretty much everything and a spread that allows her to rip a lot of bits apart. She turns the only difficult part of Stage 5 into a joke for example (Save for Nazrin of course) and she has a powerful bomb that even have a nice delay to it so you can shotgun/gather UFO's and such. Really effective shot.
I wouldn't call her overpowered since there is only really one difficult part she trivializes and the few things in the overall stages that are difficult isn't trivialized by her.
Sanae A has nothing to do being compared with MarisaB however. Don't say such silly things. Also, MarisaA is a nice shot type but I don't like being slowed to a crawl everytime I bomb. With my terrible luck with the UFO's, they always drift to the top of the screen when they are the color I need and as such, I like the possibility to bomb to gather them.
-
I'd love to hear some opinions about Mt. Tokagushi's difficulty.
It looks rather easy for a Lunatic spell, but I've never tried it, if you have something that will unlock it in practice mode, I could try... %)
-
You can have mine. It has Stage 4 unlocked for every character on every difficulty except for ReimuC on Easy but that is not really relevant for this purpose at all is it now?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MZ8OIDNZ
Woaw, thanks a lot ! Easy doesn't matter since I can unlock stage 4 for everyone on Easy, Normal, and Hard, but Lunatic is way too tough for me, I've never managed to reach Yamame without losing a life... (and I won't until I buy a gamepad, thanks new keyboard... >>) I'll give Satori (and Orin and Utsujo, obv) a few tries on Lunatic ! \o/
Edit : First try : Mt Tokagushi 2DNB timeout. %) I'll timeout that, it doesn't seem harder than DBDB. It's a really fun card nevertheless ! ^^
-
2 deaths are a lot for 45 seconds considering that bullets needs to respawn and stuff. You go work on that timeout. Maybe the reason I found DBDB to be easier is that there is more gaps. Not larger gaps but a hell of a lot more of them. Tokagushi can really screw you over if you don't handle it the right way. For DBDB, there is usually always a way out.
Timed out MarisaA/Satori's first two spellcards. They aren't really worth speaking of.
-
Hmm, so I can supergraze more of SA Stage 4 in Practice Mode than I thought. Here's my latest stab at the stage (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14696). I'm finally close to matching pondeS's graze count by the end of midboss-Orin, which is nice. You'll notice I still run out of Power after the second laser grid, which means I can't exactly continue. I only hope I can remember the way through that ending part in a full run.

Maybe not the second one since it's memo of when to turn, but the first one definitely is.
-
That first one was really easy! I timed it out first try. I didn't get the Kamikaze card though, and I probably could've gotten Return Inanimteness if I wasn't sandwiched between bullets.
Aya's first two spellcards timed out now.
-
Maybe not the second one since it's memo of when to turn, but the first one definitely is.
Oh right. Turn at the middle of the screen. Convoluted fucking stuff. Unless your goal is capturing the spell on this side of today then its really easy. I don't really know how one would go about doing that spell fast. It was obviously not even designed to be done fast. It was designed as one big grazewhoring card for scorerunners most likely... which makes for a hell of a boring card for survival players. Nicely done there.
As for Spring Kyoto Doll, I dunno. Its not a very complex cards, just a matter of reading a bunch of bullets all coming from pretty much the same direction. Its a hell of a lot more fun than the boring ass ease-fest that is the PCB card of the same name though. To be honest, on the two later runs of the battle that it took me to get the timeout of her final spellcard I was challenged quite some by SKD... Its a good card. Not top tier challenge or anything like that and believe me, most of the difficulty stems from not being used to Marisa's hitbox (curse that fucking hitbox inconsistency, the worst idea of PCB... which has that Stage 4 so that's saying something.)
The third card is also very good. My first attempt against it was 2DNB. I didn't expect to win there. My 2nd attempt I experimented with it which caused me to die a numerous amount of time and dolls to explode at the bottom of the screen too. Didn't know it could do that. I guess its because I was located higher up at the screen at that time. The third attempt nailed it.
Its a shame that two good spells are wasted on that PoS character though. Although i gotta give her, she handles Stage 4 really good. Its nice to finally get some revenge on the pixel perfect laser nonsense. You know, the stuff that you see coming ages before it kills you and actually only kills you because you failed to position your character just right? Those lasers. Even though I have pretty much no reason to whine about those at all since I pretty much have some trick established that I'm too retarded to take into use. Whatever. Fun day. Patchouli is up next. Then Nitori who will likely massacre me. Even beyond Tokagushi.
Too long post again. Fuck.
EDIT: And here goes an ammendment to an already long post. Timed out Philosophers Stone and Mercury Poison (the SA versions obviously). The former I knew would just be a question of sitting in the middle of the screen and moving a bit out of the way every once in a while. Simple stuff. The Latter however was as much of a nightmare as something handled in three attempts can be. I am very terrified of the way those bullets works. A challenging thing indeed. Now there is just that Princess Undine motherfucker that I really have no sympathy for. I have no idea about how it works, that's gonna take some experimentation. Let's just leave it at it being a concept I don't really understand the joy of. Microtapping with lasers with cryptically aimed walls. Cute.
-
yeah, but you know you're going to have to wait at least another month or so for an english patch.
English shminglish, as long as I can have my pewpewpew :V. There'll probably be a script translation up on the wiki within a couple days of release too, so I'm not too concerned there. Hurry up Comiket, I want you in my arms~!

Which reminds me, when is TD going to hit the shops? September again?
-
Which means that anyone posting achievements about the game until September are pirates. :V
-
It's like that every time a game comes out. Apparently everybody turns a blind eye to it.
-
Theoretically, people could be buying it at the Comiket or have someone buy it for them, but I'll be patient until the retail release, as usual. Gives me more time to clear the other games, too, so it's not too bad this time around. Still, always annoying to see all those replays popping up.
-
Hahahahahaha!!! Finally!! I finally got you, you bloody tiger!!! You are mine now!!
Okay. Despite this occurence in all seriousness causing me to laugh maniacally, i finally defeated Shou No-deaths, no bombs!!! :toot:
I can finally relax with her. Everytime I've been going up against her I have always been playing with one goal in mind. Getting a perfect run. Since making a mistake is very easy it took over 250 attempts since game release to do this. That is the amount of practice that has gone into the fight letting me have relative consistency on almost everything she has except for her 2nd non-spell and the other failures simply because my brain had been hemorrhaged from playing the stage so much.
From now on, I can play against Shou without that particular goal in mind. From now on, every death against Shou's 2nd non-spell won't be felt near as dearly as they have until now. The majority of my mistakes where from her 1st and 2nd non-spell, the latter which usually moves faster than I can think. Not a fun way to lose an attempt. Now dying to that doesn't matter any longer! It feels really good to finally have this done.
The only downside is that she dodged my shots too much on Aura of Light and as such I ended up timing that out instead. That means its not a complete perfect run but its certainly no-miss, no-bomb and that's all I ever wanted. I don't care about some spell bonus. The only concern I had was getting through the battle without bombing and without getting hit. That has now been accomplished.
PS: Congratulate me someone. This was much harder than any Lunatic 1cc ever was.
It's like that every time a game comes out. Apparently everybody turns a blind eye to it.
Yeah, I guess. I pre-ordered the thing though, I don't know when it will arrive but doesn't having paid for a game in some way make me own it even if I haven't received it yet?
-
I thought I remember N-Forza mentioning that having to get back on a long line multiple times just to fulfill other people's Comiket orders doesn't work very well. There's always pre-ordering the games though, which I'm hoping (though not really expecting) to ease the overseas shipping wait.
Seems I stand corrected on Satori's DBDB. It still sucks. Thus, capturing it again always feels like an accomplishment.

Well, congratulations, tiger! I'd wager that timing out one pattern under these conditions is, under the assumption that it doesn't have a safe-spot, a tadbit more impressive than shooting through it.
Still, regarding pre-orders, I can see what you're getting at. I'm a bit of an extremist regarding those matters, but seriously, as long as people pay even I don't care as long as no illegal third party gains profit.
-
Ah, let's not get into a piracy debate.
Congrats Zengekky.

PS: Congratulate me someone. This was much harder than any Lunatic 1cc ever was.
Ain't it like that with all late-game stages/bosses? Congratz bro, you worked hard for it =).
-
Ah, let's not get into a piracy debate.
Congrats Zengekky.
Yep, my bad, sorry about that!
On a related note, captured two of Suwako's Spellcards for the first time today, last one included! Too bad the run was a complete mess, gonna have to improve some other parts first.
-
Ain't it like that with all late-game stages/bosses? Congratz bro, you worked hard for it =).
Maybe. Its just Shou is a really difficult boss. She really kicks almost any other boss in the Touhou series into the dust. Perfecting her was a lot harder than perfecting Yuyuko, Youmu, Utsuho, Orin, Satori, Kanako, Aya and many other late game bosses around. Most of these bosses have a broad selection of moderate difficulty attacks but usually only one really difficult ones. I.e, those I lose attempts to. Shou's best bet at a joke card is Aura of Light and even that takes some risky maneuvering if you get trapped.
I think the only boss in the Windows generation to be more difficult than Shou is Byakuren and Remilia.
Well, congratulations, tiger! I'd wager that timing out one pattern under these conditions is, under the assumption that it doesn't have a safe-spot, a tadbit more impressive than shooting through it.
The attack doesn't have a safespot. I dunno if timing it out is more impressive since surviving isn't really all that difficult in the card. The trick is to hit Shou and avoid getting trapped. I hoped for Shou to get in range of my shot but she didn't. I tried getting back to the center to hurt her but ultimately the card timed itself out before managing to empty her life bar.
Ah, let's not get into a piracy debate.
Congrats Zengekky.
Oh, yeah. Let's not. And thanks by the way. :)

1CC PCB LUNATIC YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
After failing a lot in IN Lunatic I tried PCB Lunatic, what are the odds that I got it on my FIRST TRY!
-
I just realized that I forgot to mention that my EoSD extra clear was with the hitbox patch (the Hard 1cc wasn't). I'm trying now to do it without it just to do it both ways.
What are your opinions on the hitbox patch?
Should it be used?
Does it really make a difference?

Use it if you want, but try with the later games to do most of your dodging unfocused so you can learn where it is. usually some object dead center is a hint (i.e. that ribbon thingy on Reimu.)

Use it freely until you get a true feel for where your hitbox actually is. Once you don't need it anymore, don't use it. Having started the thing in the first place, for sure I used it for a while. I think I stopped using it some short time before 1ccing Hard, and for most people I'd recommend stopping around there as well. When you start playing Touhou you really need to learn an approximation of where your hitbox is, which is what the patch is for. Once you're skilled enough to not need it, there's no reason to keep it on.
-
I'm finally getting better at Momiji and the waterfall after her. Plus I got another Storm Day capture, which is always nice (I love that attack). Now if only Peerless Wind God would stop being mean to me...
-
PCB Normal, no bombs (though border breaking is used) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14703).
This one just sort of happened without any real planning going into it. Stage 4 was almost perfect except for a miss in the stupidest of places, and then Stage 5 happened. Two deaths on Five Signs of the Deva? Really?
But hey, an achievement's an achievement. Now to try it with no deaths. Or I might try Easy with no deaths no bombs. We'll see.

Anything to make EoSD feel less old.

Nor is there any reason to turn it off :V
-
MoF Stage 4 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14707)
Holy crap, I'm shaking again. I knew I had been making progress at the stage portion, but Aya too? I almost wasn't ready to find myself perfecting everything through Peerless Wind God. Thank God Aya's final is so simple.
So now that's two full Touhou games perfected.
-
Nicely done. SA is up next bro. :)
I had a brief look at Kogasa and thought to myself... if we hide under her dress, we might be safe from umbrellas.
Well okay, let's just say its the stuff you see in superplays and such because really, nobody can handle that fucking card with consistency and since its the only thing that prevents me from enjoying the fuck out of Kogasa, I decided to learn it. Turns out its really easy to do although you need to hurry up to get into the safespot. And I perfected Kogasa with that just now.
Kyouko's a total pushover compared to Kogasa btw. Though I suppose anyone knew that.
-
Finally figured out the tricks to Suwako's third and fourth spellcard, only mystery left is a proper approach for her first survival spellcard since that one's more feasible than her second one and I hate survival spellcards.
-
Nor is there any reason to turn it off :V
If the person asking was going to keep it on anyways then there's no point asking if and when they should be removing it.
-
To match with my accomplishment earlier this month, today marks my first 1CC of Perfect Cherry Blossom, as well as the farthest I've managed to get in an Extra stage. Not QUITE at the level of clearing Extras yet, but it's only a matter of time!
Quick edit to add: This time, it was with Reimu-B. And unlike when I beat Embodiment, I only started getting the shakes when I was right at the survival spellcard at the end.
-
This is pretty embarrassing, I've never captured Unnatural Phenomenon on Normal before! I've now captured all spell cards in SA Normal with ReimuC.
Did all scorerunners go on a summer vacation?
-
Shin does 2.777b on vacation? I'd love to see what he does when he's not on vacation then.
-
Speaking about scorunners, I've watched ごぼう'replay that he posted on royalflare today (4,3 billions on SA), and was amazed to see that the name he used to save his replay was "GOBOU". %) Maybe you don't know it, but Gobou is the French name of the very famous Pok?mon, Mudkip, I think you've already heard of it. x) Do you know if it's a coincidence ? %)
2 deaths are a lot for 45 seconds considering that bullets needs to respawn and stuff. You go work on that timeout.
Throwing Mt. Tokagushi timeout. =P (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14710) It took me 19 tries, and I had never faced this spellcard before. ^^ The rest is not worth watching. x)
-
Pacifist Ran :D. Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14716)
-
Mystic Square Normal 1cc with Reimu and Marisa.
I've already cleared the game with Mima, so only Yuuka is left. Then it'll be Hard Mode time. Go me :toot:

Yeah, I thought so. Nice going about the timeout. I don't recall how many attempts I put in it back when I timed it out for my first time but it was in the 20-30's this time around so I guess you pulled it off faster than me. ;)
-
Since I appear to be on a roll, today marks another milestone for me: My first ever Extra clear. Ran Yakumo defeated with Reimu-B. In all my attempts at the Extra stage, the only cards I haven't captured even once were Kokkuri-San's Contract and Descent of Izuna Gongen.
Honestly, I think I'll be taking a little break after this!
edit: And I finally got off my lazy butt and corrected myself.
-
That's twice today I managed to perfect SA Stage 5 Lunatic's stage portion. I don't think that's ever happened before. My modifications to the post-midboss sections seem to be working.
Orin, your time is near.
-
Since I appear to be on a roll, today marks another milestone for me: My first ever Extra clear. Ran Yakumo defeated with Reimu-B. In all my attempts at the Extra stage, the only cards I haven't captured even once were Hakkuri-San's Contract and Descent of Izuna Gongen.
Honestly, I think I'll be taking a little break after this!
:toot:
I know that feeling. Ran is awesome to fight and awesome when you win. Plus, you captured Unilateral Contact, which I still can't get even while attempting to no-death Ran.
And speaking of which, it's a minor one, but ah well, I FINALLY CAPTURED DESCENT OF IZUNA GONGEN! No longer will I be the player who has inexplicably captured Boundary of Life and Death but not Descent of Izuna Gongen. I now haz both :3

*Kokkuri-san's Contract :V
Good job clearing extra, and clearing Unilateral Contact during said run. It took me a while to capture that card. I still haven't captured Kokkuri-san's Contract but I have Boundary of Humans and Youkai
EDIT: I couldn't do Possessed by Phoenix during Spell Practice, so I decided to play Extra for real. Guess who captured Possessed by Phoenix during said run :toot: Also unlocked Imperishable Shooting
-
Managed to finish a normal run of Mountain of Faith with 6 lives in stock, while capturing the spellcard Mountain of Faith as well. It was a no death run up until stage 5. Despite the epic fail on Kanako's first spell, this was probably my best run of MoF normal yet. The character used was ReimuB.
Replay here for anyone who cares:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14729
-
First ever capture of "Unidentified Darkness"! Took me long enough to get the method down. Before this it'd be *bomb* *bomb* *bomb* *die* etc.
Also survived "Rainbow UFO Invasion of Terror" using 1 bomb and reached "Nightmare of Heiankyou" for the first time.
Then I derped and lost my last life when the horizontal lasers spawned directly on top of me. :P
EDIT: And now I've cleared UFO Extra with Reimu A on the next run that reached Nue! "Nightmare of Heiankyou" managed to take away my two extra lives and 1 bomb. Nue's final spellcard I managed to beat with the remaining bomb on the first try.
That just leaves Flandre, Koishi, Marisa and whoever Ten Desire's Extra boss is (minus PC-98 games, PoFV and Tengu games) as the remaining extras I have yet to clear.
-
I decided to give Blind Nightbird another try. My record with Yukari now stands at 1/14. Maybe I am some kind of a lunatic by now? :3

There is a Lunatic in everyone. You just need to find it.

-
Mokou, no bombs. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14737)
Overall, I'm very, very happy with this run. There were a couple of derp moments (like failing Ihakasa's Moon Curse), but when I do things like capture Hollow Giant "Woo" and get through the rings of death getting hit only once, I am a very happy player indeed. :D
-
You know, I've got a confession to make. UFO is starting to grow on me.
Most people's reaction: :o
Naut's reaction: :]
Bananamatics reaction: >:(
Having finally perfected that tiger probably lifted some of the bitterness resulting from 1DNB'ing her 9 fucking times. I can play against Byakuren without perfectionism in mind since she kicks my ass to hell and back. Its simply unrealistic as of now. Shou however was always so close. I had every attack down but for some reason I just couldn't pull it off meaning that I had to go through her stage... OVER 300 TIMES - yeah, no wonder I hated that...
Today I, pulled off two perfect Kogasas in a row. I was sure I was gonna die on the final card on one of them since it threw everything it had against me(or maybe I just read it wrong - no wait, I'm the cool one here. It was the RNG that tried to fuck me over but it failed! >:D)
Good fight that one. I also went up against Byakuren for a little practice. I'm thinking of going against her in small doses since playing her stage for too long causes problems with my will to live. Byakuren however is a fun fight outside of her more stupid design choices. The 2nd card mainly. Everything else is all dandy. I even managed to capture her 2nd non-spell today and Devil's Recitation too.
I need to reconstruct my skills against Murasa though since they have dropped below my performance against Ichirin. Which they weren't before. My Ichirin performance is usually 1DNB usually with that death being to KKS.because I suck at reading it. I wonder if there is some sort of pattern to Murasa's third non-spell. There is to the first two, but to the third? I've always just handled it through reflexes but that is way too inconsistent.
-
Another EoSD default 1cc Normal, Marisa B this time.
I'm pretty happy about this run. The only thing that threatened my progress was dying twice to Metal Fatigue, once because I had no bombs and the second time because I thought I could get through the rest without using any more resources, causing me to die again with bombs in stock. That annoyed me, but I captured Scarlet Shoot for the first time ever so I'm good with this run.
One more to go. Reimu A. Ugh, weak shots are weak.
-
You know, I've got a confession to make. UFO is starting to grow on me.
My reaction: :wat:
It just seemed like your attitude toward UFO would be something that never changed. :V Though I suspect this is more a view toward the game's danmaku rather than the UFOs themselves. There's really only a small handful of attacks I would consider having bad design myself, so I can understand that view at least.
The 2nd card mainly.
What.
It's aimed lasers in a static pattern of butterflies. How is that badly designed?
I wonder if there is some sort of pattern to Murasa's third non-spell. There is to the first two, but to the third? I've always just handled it through reflexes but that is way too inconsistent.
The third nonspell is static too, I believe. The problem is of course that Murasa's movements are random, and where she moves might mean danmaku left over from one wave will be part of the next wave. It is quite dense, perhaps that's why you are apparently having trouble handling it with reflexes alone.
-
Though I suspect this is more a view toward the game's danmaku rather than the UFOs themselves.
Tbh, UFO gathering is the least appealing part of the game but you still get at least Cave level resources even if you don't use UFO's. It is just my general experience with playing the game that has improved.
What.
It's aimed lasers in a static pattern of butterflies. How is that badly designed?
Yes. In case you didn't notice, I don't like that sort of stuff. Memo cards are frustrating when you can't do them and boring when you can. That's how I look at it. A lose-lose situation. I can get the pattern down and simply make it boring but I just don't like memorization patterns. So its not badly designed. Its consistently doable so it can't be badly designed. What I meant was that the mere presence of a card that simply requires you to memorize is in itself a stupid design choice.
As for card design, I am starting to believe that there isn't even one example of really bad design in terms of the player being able to consistently do it or not. Whether or not I personally think its a good idea is of course another matter entirely. PSM; You can safespot it. KKS; You can just dodge better. Its not a card i'm too much of a fan of but its not the cards fault I can't do it properly.
The only thing I don't really know what to think about is Murasa's 3rd spellcard. Generally its pretty easy but sometimes bullets seem to block out your only option of dodging. I have yet to study my replays of that situation happening to see if there is anything I could've done in that situation.
-
One more to go. Reimu A. Ugh, weak shots are weak.
I got my first ever Normal clear of EoSD with ReimuA :V
I agree with you about its weakness, but It's a nice shot, mainly for stage parts, and you'll have an easier time against Patchy compared to the other shots IMO.
Go for it!
-
Ah, my bad. :derp: Forgot you had that mentality too, Zengeku.
Something more on-topic, I think I'm getting better at Byakuren's first card. As if that attack wasn't already fun enough. :V
-
:]
-
Yay! Just 1cced UFO normal. Thanks for the advice, SanaeB definitely served me better than SanaeA.
Now i just need to decide which extra stage to tackle next: SA or UFO
Any suggestions?
Or should I focus on Great Fairy Wars, which I am enjoying more and more (despite it being quite hard).
-
Possessed by Phoenix captured without having to circle during the second wave (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14748) :3
-
Now i just need to decide which extra stage to tackle next: SA or UFO
SA because I'm a weirdo who finds Koishi loads easier than Nue. Actually, the only boss I find harder than Nue is maybe Evil Eye Sigma, but even that's probably about even just because you get asstons of extends in SoEW extra >_>. I haven't beaten either Nue or EES though, so ehh.
-
You know, I've got a confession to make. UFO is starting to grow on me.
:]
Now i just need to decide which extra stage to tackle next: SA or UFO
UFO has the more fun extra stage, in my opinion. (I don't really like SA's extra stage, so if you were me, you would get that out of the way first.)
-
3DNB Byakuren. 2 at LFO and 1 at Good Omen. I'm actually pretty happy that I died at Good Omen cause if I didn't, I'd probably have destroyed something valuable... It seems LFO is the only insurmountable thing here. 2nd non-spell is also very tricky but that's in the beginning of the fight. You don't have to fight it with the added tension of an entire fight gone good.
Spell Practice, how I'd wish you be here. LFO is a tough motherfucker and I guess the only way to get good at it is through practice. And a little more practice after that
EDIT: And now I'm finally approaching a decent capture rate of Monster Train, Kogasa's third. 20/65.
-
Alright, brought my MoF Extra up to something I'm satisfied with, even though I failed to capture Suwako's fourth and fifth spellcard due to stupid mistakes. Didn't capture either of her Survival Spellcards either, but whatever, didn't exactly want to figure those out, too.
Now I'll be gone due to a one-week vacation and after that I'll be tackling SA, the second-to-last game left on Lunatic. Glad I managed to completely finish MoF before my vacation.

-
I just got Perfect Cherry Blossom, and the second time I faced "Resurrection Butterfly -50% Reflowering-" I captured it. Then proceeded to get brutally murdered the next few times I faced it but that capture is good enough for me.
-
Finally beat th11 extra with MarisaA, but the game crashed, so it wasn't recorded.
MarisaA is the worst character to play th11 Extra because of 8.00 max power and bombs that sucks more than "Artful Sacrifice".
-
I caught Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death", which was as easy as some players make it out to be.

-
Finally managed to get a UFO Normal 1CC with Sanae B. Proceeded straight away to tackle Extra Stage with her. Cleared it on my first try! :D (minus the few retries when I died on the opening wave of fairies)
At this point I'm still playing for survival, but no deaths on the stage, a near perfect Kogasa (bombed the moment the first spellcard ended, still gave me the capture though), and capturing all of Nue's spellcards up to the last 4.

I finally captured Unseasonal Butterfly Storm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14760)
-
Wooo~ been a while since I posted on this forum. Was randomly playing TH11 and I managed to capture "Hell's Artificial Sun"!
The ironic part is right before the card I said to myself "Yep, one of the cards I will never capture" Then I captured it >_> Don't know if I will be able to do it again anytime soon XD. Okuu still holds a very special place in my heart as the first Stage 6 boss I ever reached. Still can't capture "Petite Flare" though.
Replay here if anyone is interested: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14766

Finally captured Needle Mountain of a Former Hell!
Would have been a perfect Orin fight if not for bombing her last card. (and timing out her midboss nonspell, because die in a fire Catwalk.)
-
I got my first ever Normal clear of EoSD with ReimuA :V
I agree with you about its weakness, but It's a nice shot, mainly for stage parts, and you'll have an easier time against Patchy compared to the other shots IMO.
Go for it!
My first clear was with her as well. I agree that Patchouli's stage is easier with her homing attacks and I did actually almost default 1cc the game with Reimu A but lost my last life while Remilia was exploding. That was really frustrating and I haven't tried since. I'll go for it again soon.
On to actual accomplishments....did I really just 1cc PCB already? I only got the game yesterday and I have Extra unlocked with Sakuya A. I definitely could have used my bombs more on Yuyuko's stage as I entered with 6 lives and lost them all, finishing with zero rescources and shaking like crazy. But...wow. I've obviously gotten a lot better at Touhou.
-
SA Lunatic: Perfect Stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14765), and 1DNB Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14769). The death was a really really stupid one on the stage.
-
Finally cleared Final B on Normal with default lives. Replay for those that want. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14772)
Needless to say, I feel good about this. Now for hard :V
-
SA Normal no bombs 1cc :V
-
I caught Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death", which was as easy as some players make it out to be.
That's still her hardest spell for me apart from Hollow Giant.
-
You can't be serious. That card? How can you ever consider that harder than Fujiyama Volcano or Everlasting Phoenix Tail?
The laser's hitbox activate as soon as it reaches the spot you were at when it spawned. Just move a tiny bit towards the laser and it will skip you completely. It doesn't make sense, like at all, but that's all there is to it.
-
Maybe he uses the Uber Method (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxww4UGdWiY)
-
Yeah, for some reason i think that is pretty unlikely.

That's why. It doesn't make any sense and no one ever thoroughly explained it to me when I was trying to beat the stage. Thanks for finally making it clear though.
After a week of trying I 1cc'd Imperishable Night on lunatic. First lunatic clear too. Feels pretty good.
-
UFO Lunatic 1cc get!!!
And in one try too! WOOHOO!!! - So, here's the deal. I'm situated in a camping trailer, its bloody hot in here because the suns doing it's thing outside, and my Xbox, my computer and my television is doing its thing inside. I decided, let's try 1cc'ing and I succeeded. It makes me quite happy to have this thing done finally. It is your run of the mill initial 1cc though. Many really stupid deaths happened. They made me quite irritated really. I said to myself, its okay to die as long as you die in a dignified way. Bombing Complete Clarification only to die to it right afterwards is not my idea of dignifying. Nor is running into bullets. But whatever. It doesn't matter now.
-
Oh, thought you had 1CCed all games already, quite refreshing actually. Congratulations!
-
I haven't 1cc'd the fighters, SoEW, HrTP and MS. They are either too old or just not appealing to me.
-
Haha, I see, haven't tackled any non-main games minus 9.5 and 12.5 yet either, postponing that until post-UFO or TD. Need a gamepad for that anyway.
Still, you went for a perfect Stage 5 before 1CCing the game? I suppose it does serve as excellent practice, but it's quite surprising. Quite fresh, indeed!
-
Not perfect Stage 5. Just Shou. If I needed to go through Greatest Treasure and get Shou perfectly in one go my heart would probably explode from the tension at Complete Clarification. :)
-
UFO Lunatic 1cc get!!!
Congrats, at last! :D
-
Congrats, at last! :D
Thanks. Also, congrats on creating a special challenge that really speaks to my heart this week! I have never done a no-bombs 1cc of SA. Maybe I can do something about this.
-
Congrats, and upload that thing to Youtube. Well, if you feel like it at least.
-
Yeah for sure. I'm just not able to right now, but it will be uploaded. Along with that Shou fight and some other stuff i've pulled off recently but not had the hardware to record available.
-
Randomly managed to capture Recollection of Kinkaku-ji with Aya, after 310 attempted shots.
-
PCB Extra Clear! Freaking FINALLY! It only took me what? Like 4 months? Oy. My heart felt like it was about to burst outta my chest when I was facing 'Descent of Izuna Gongen'.... Was the first time I'd ever actually made it past 'Kokkuri-san's Contract', to boot.
For reference, it was with Sakuya B.
Oy vey. On to Phantasm, and all the nightmares that entails!
-
On to Phantasm, and all the nightmares that entails!
You shouldn't have much trouble with that since Yukari is easier than Ran.
-
You shouldn't have much trouble with that since Yukari is easier than Ran.
So I hear. I know her analogue to Princess Tenko is a lot simpler(I've done my share of research ahead, and such.), and that's one that always gave me trouble, despite being relatively simple.
Not looking forwards to Double Death Butterfly though. Ah well, I'll need to actually REACH her first, so I've got a little while before I need to be concerned about those things. Planning to try and work out the "puzzle" of the stage enemies myself instead of following a path someone else did like I did with Extra.
I'll be back in here once I "win"! Good luck to everyone else in here with any goals they're working on, too!

Idk, I managed to perfect Ran but Yukari killed me at BoLaD. Ran might overshadow Yukari with regards to certain spellcards but i'd still say that Yukari is slightly harder.
-
I never perfected either of them. My best for Ran is still 1DNB and my best for Yukari is ND2B.

SA Lunatic no-bombs 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14801)
I'm actually surprised I haven't spent much time on this beforehand. Then again, I guess I kinda needed to be roughly as good as I am now to get through Stage 5 as well as I did (lest I not get enough life-pieces to recover). Indeed, Stage 5 was the highlight for me, as I only died on the pellet hell and Cursed Sprite, perfecting everything else.
-
Finally EoSD normal Reimu A default 1cc! She was the last character I needed to do that with. Now for Hard and Flandre, probably Flandre first.
-
Well I finally finished EX on EoSD. I gave up last year and thought I'd try again last week. Took me 4 days to finish which is better than most of my run times.
I'm rather proud of myself. brb going to go murder Flandre more while screaming like a 5 year old.
-
IN Hard 1cc Scarlet team Final B. Default lives (I remembered this time).
First death at Reisen's second card. Ended (the game) 0/3. I wasn't trying that hard too.
-
Upon first unlocking level 9 in DS, I proceed to capture 9-5 in two tries. I didn't even know anything about the card beyond "Satori moves when I aim so I have to click quickly".
-
NDNB Satori (ReimuA) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14829), so all SA bosses perfected now.

Reporting in with yet another 1CC, this time it's Mountain of Faith using ReimuB.

SA Lunatic no bombs 1cc (ReimuA)! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14848)
Contains a NDNB stage 4.
awesome

Finally did it! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14851)
After getting hit by Chen a THIRD time, I finally did it! Entering that blasted card with 4 bombs in stock...and then getting hit again. Dear Kanako, until I saw the (rare for me) successful deathbomb, I thought my heart was going to stop.
But I did it! SQUEEEEEEEEE! :*
-
EoSD Hard 1cc Default lives. These bosses are loleasy compared to their lunatic counterparts. I mean, 1 death Patchy? Seriously.
-
Woohoo! 1cced PCB on Hard (for the first time) with 4 lives 3 bombs to spare. I'm surprised I didn't do this earlier.
Replay here:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14858
Though I can't BELIEVE that I died to Yuyuko's 4th nonspell (also for the first time).
-
Catadioptric capture. Was pretty happy about that, although I died to the nonspell afterwards which was stupid.
-
Well. Finally got myself a decent fight against Stage 5 and Stage 4 of SA.
I also watched Heartbeams run of SA and his failures consoled me a bit. Its exactly the same failures I made. That means I haven't turned ungodly bad suddenly! :)
-
YES!! Finally!! After a lot of practice, frustration, rage, and far too many posts in the spell card help topic, I've finally pulled off my first proper 1cc of a Touhou game, Imperishable Night normal with Netherworld Team. (I say first proper 1cc becasue I did manage a 1cc of EoSD Easy with ReimuA, but I don't count that since I had max starting lives. I think I have a replay of it somewhere...)
Replay here: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14862 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14862)
Best run I'd had up until Stage 5 (only lost 1 life to Marisa, and that was Earth Light Ray, again). Lost a bunch of lives to Reisen though. I invariably mess up Visionary Tuning by misjudging where the gaps are going to be, or trying to move too far to a gap and the bullets phase back in on top of me. Idling Wave was my own stupidity, trying to pre-judge when the bullets would phase out and moving down too early. Invisible Full Moon is another one I keep misjudging, either the trajectory of the blue bullets, or the speed of the expanding circle of bullets. Wasn't overly confident going into Stage 6, as the run immediately before this one I went in with the same number of lives, and an extra bomb, though lost the extra life in the stage part. Got through the stage and Eirin unscathed, and the best battle I've had against Kaguya, in that I actually managed to beat her. I still absolutely hate Hourai Barrage -Rainbow Danmaku-, and didn't manage to survive most of Kaguya's Last Spells to tell whether I suck at those or not. Still, it's a 1cc, so I shouldn't be complaining!
Next target is to 1cc IN with the rest of the teams, and then probably Extra, which I suspect I'll regret very fast. After that, back to my original idea of 1cc'ing the games in order, so back to EoSD, and Sakuya's blasted knives.
-
I've decided to go for Lunatics now. Which one do you guys suggest I should go for (except MoF and UFO and preferably not IN)?
-
Why not IN? I'd say it's perfectly suited since you get a lot of ressources. Furthermore, you've got Spell Practice, which really helps since the final spellcards of the Stage 6 bosses tend to be somewhat tough, assuming you don't have an awful lot of bombs.
Either way, since you don't want to play MoF either (would also be a good choice), PCB would be your best bet I think. Quite a bit harder than IN, but you get a lot of Extra Lives and borders. If you cancel borders, it should be managable with adequate amounts of practice.
-
Not IN because IN is a bit boring for me.
-
Haha, I see, that's a pity. Since that leaves you with (not including PoFV, but the randomness in that game should allow you to greatly improve) EoSD, PCB and SA, I'd definitely go for PCB.
EoSD is just plain unforgiving when it comes to mistakes, so it's rather tough.
SA, on the other hand, still uses a bombing-system that allows you to be quite careful, but it would be somewhat overwhelming I think.
PCB gives you a lot of room for mistakes since you get more Extra Lives than in any other game on top of a free Bomb with every border, so I'd definitely go for it first.
Generally, IN would be the best choice, but the first Lunatic clear is a bit of a challenge, so you're going to need a bit of a motivation. A boring game wouldn't really do the trick there, I think.
-
The stages I normally get to when trying for a 1cc are:
EoSD:4
PCB:4
IN:5/6
MoF:4
SA:5
UFO:2/3
So currently I think SA is my best bet. Especially after I died to Chen's midboss card twice.
-
Haha, probably just a freak occurence with Chen, but if you're that far already, SA is probably your best bet. Thought it might be too overwhelming, but all I've seen so far are the first 10 seconds, so nevermind that. Probably similiar to MoF.
-
Yeah, it was a freak occurence. I can do so much better than that. I think for SA I probably need to practice stage 5 and a bit of stage 4 and 6 then I'll be ready to go.
-
PCB Stage 4 takes some getting used to, but most of the stuff before the Prismrivers can be learned. Some enemies that shoot suicide bullets give easier patterns if you don't shoot them instead, which can lighten the load. Outside of that, practice Stages 2 and 3 so you know what's coming, and plan out where you might want to use bombs/borders.
You got that far in SA, huh? Impressive. While the game is a bit more strict when it comes to bombs, using them wisely makes them all the more powerful. Since you got Stage 4 open already, grind the hell out of Satori. A decent survival run on her really goes a long way toward getting through Stage 5.
-
I don't really find SA to be that hard. Especially considering my first hard 1cc had 4 lives left.
-
SA is somewhat weird. My first 1CC on Normal took me ages to clear, but when I actively went for it on Hard after not going through the stages for ages I got it on my first or second try.
Scared of it on Lunatic, nonetheless, even though I have yet to try.
-

I had it exactly the same way with Normal and Hard. Maybe the first time you 1cc Normal is when you've finally learned how to bombspam, and that strategy is pretty much enough for Hard as well? With no-bomb runs the difficulty gap is much greater, I could maybe perfect Normal with some luck, but I get raped on Hard (0/xx or 1/xx on most spellcards starting from DBDB...)
About Lunatic: I have 186 records on Kisume's spellcard, but the furthest I've ever made it is Orin's second-to-last. The gap in difficulty is damn huge.
-
FINALLY managed to 1cc UFO on normal. Now only MoF is left, but... Nue, here I come :matsuri2:
-
Good grief, that doesn't sound particularly motivating, but let's see how it goes.
The good thing about Hard Mode was that there weren't too many things that could catch you off-guard until Stage 4, so gettint to Stage 5 with a lot of lives wasn't too great an issue. Of course, it went downhill after that, but that's why the over-abundance of ressources was helpful in the first place.
Edit: And congratulations to the wolf above.
-
1DNBNBB run of PCB Stage 6. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14889)
Curse you Sumizome Perfect Blossom.
But still, that's my first time ever capturing Deadly Dance, so Malky is happy. :3
-
Woo BoWaP Lunatic cap 0.00 power.
First cap too by the way.

Right, got a semi-fal, semi-achievement here.
So after having an absolutely terrible Sakuya A 1cc attempt at PCB Normal a few days ago (which resulted in A LOT of derpy deaths and game over at Yuyuko, in contrast to my first 1cc of PCB with Reimu A where I finished with 6 lives in stock), I decided to try again.
Panic-bomb at CHEN (WTF)
1st death at Foggy London Dolls
More stage 4 derpy deaths
Fudged up stage 5, 2 deaths on Gaki
Right, so I enter stage 6 with 1 life and 1 bomb. Planning to save the bomb for ageless obsession, I don't bomb the beginning spam part for points due to lack of border (I kinda try to POC as much as possible in all my runs). Bam, life gone at the spam part, but at least I gain an extra life. Bombing Ageless obsession, I proceed to Yuyuko with 1 life and 4 bombs. Which isn't so bad, if I didn't die at Yuyuko's OPENER, losing four of those bombs. I proceed to use two bombs at Mortality, then another on the next nonspell due to stupidly getting trapped. One bomb left, I gotta get the next two captured. But I fail again and panic-bomb Swallowtail Butterfly.
Then I capture Repository of Hirokawa, AND Sumizome Perfect Blossom (for the 2nd or 3rd time ever). Finally I derp at bit at Resurrection butterfly but get saved twice from borders, ending the game with 0 lives and 0 bombs for my third PCB 1cc.
I really don't know if I'm getting worse or can't get used to Sakuya speed
-
SA Lunatic 1cc! This took some sweat and tears. I think I would've started going bald if I died on Subterranean Sun.
The replay is corrupt, at least when watching only stage 6. It shows me running straight into bullets at the first nonspell. Perhaps it's because I paused to stop my hands from shaking?
EDIT: Alright thanks for the info. When in doubt, bomb. Also, death on stage 6 score crows. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14899)
-
No no, that's expected. Full-game replays always desync at Utsuho if you start playing the replay from Stage 6. You can get around this problem by instead starting from Stage 5 and letting it run normally (i.e. don't fast-forward or anything). Don't worry about it, go ahead and post a link to the replay here. And congrats dude.
-
I guess pulling off a 1cc on a plane while going through turbulence counts? xD
In all seriousness, I think I might just be getting marginally better at Yuyuko. Marginally. I lost 3 lives which is a lot better than I normally do. Still need to figure out her second card though.
-
How insanely easy is MoF normal compared to UFO normal? It took quite a time to 1cc UFO normal, but now I tried MoF once and did it in the first try... Well, Extra time BV
-
Hey, I think I actually am getting better at Yuyuko. Marisa B 1cc! I got past stage 5 with 3 lives remaining and thought "Holy crap, Yuyuko's going to freaking murder me, I'm so screwed..." however I managed to beat the game by bombspamming until Ressurection Butterfly when I actually managed to pull off one of my better runs on the card. My Youmu fight, however, was horrible. I'm surprised I survived stage 6 after how much she owned me.
Now I have Extra unlocked with Sakuya A and Marisa B. Getting there, slowly.
-
EoSD Normal 1cc. I got nervous closer to the end and started bombspamming. also, death by spawning bullet on Red Magic. Replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14935)
-
Yessssssssssss! It's not a huge accomplishment, but I finally capped Double Black Death Butterfly on normal. Seriously, that spell (and the rest of the game) seem to have the difficulty pumped a little to high IMO.
-
In addition to 1CCing Embodiment by using Persuasion Needles today (that's ReimuB), I've also captured two of Flandre's spellcards in different runs. Not quite good enough to get past Maze of Love, but I've captured Kagome, Kagome and Laevatein, with close calls on both Cranberry Trap and Four of a Kind.
-
I 1cc'd Embodiment on hard today. Thank god, I can take a break from these games now. Scarlet Meister is bullshit by the way.
-
I have no idea what happened but I managed to cap Ghost Clifford on Hard.
Now the only card in PCB I have left to capture is Benevolent French Dolls. Though I have no idea how I should go at it. Maybe I'll just play it enough until I get one run where all the bullets dodge me or something.
EDIT: Of course, having said that, I went and proceeded to cap Benevolent French Dolls on my second try. I now have all 141 cards in PCB captured! Woohoo!
-
So I decided to play using a stick today, which is something I never do, so you can imagine how bad I am with a stick.
1CC'd SA Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14929) with it.
totally unexpected
-
Cleared 12-6 of DS... though to be honest, it's not really much of an achievement since it seems to be the easiest card of the stage, laser splitting point glitch notwithstanding. The first three cards are nearly free, and the lasers doesn't get really intense until the last shot. (funnily enough I counted wrong and thought I was only taking the fifth shot at the end, and I was like "ok, one last shot to-- wait she exploded?!"
-
I'll take the 995th reply.
PCB Phantasm SakuyaB clear! Freaking finally. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlRXLGiRdsw)

Yeah, but don't forget Merlin.

I know how Sakuya B's shots work but I can't properly use her for the life of me D:
On to actual accomplishments: NDNB Alice. Broke a couple of borders but I probably would have survived anyway. I just broke them for the cherry points.

Another Accomplishments thread just about filled up. Keep up the good work everyone!

Yeah, but don't forget Merlin.
Don't forget to be bomb and be happy.
