Touhou Rage Thread XIII: Unlucky Deaths & Silly Mistakes Edition

[FKillThisAccount]

10D Normal, playing with Marisa, derped a few times but manages to reach Miko , with no extra lives nor bombs.

Then I died at the first spellcard from the balls. :fail: 

Was really pissed at that time that I didn't bother to wait for my divine spirit meter to diminish and exited the game.

GRR dayum Resource-collecting OCD! 

 

[Tsym]

oh my god

I thought it was just me and my bad luck ; _;

I'm only playing on hard but I die all over the place, and while I was able to do PCB's hard mode in one try and do IN hard with like 4 lives left, the only way I was able to beat hard was to bomb literally everything

With PCB and IN, it feels like memorization eliminates or trivializes a lot of cards/non-spells. With MoF though, you really just need good dodging skills. At least you get tons of bombs right?

Also the fact that Reimu's movements seem to feel "jerkier" to me on MoF doesn't help at all. It feels like she moves too fast when focused, thus leading to a lot of deaths where I can see the path I need to go through, but the tap I need to make her go through that path makes her collide into the bullet a pixel to the side. So frustrating.

[BT]

Reimu is faster in the newer games, yes. You shouldn't have problems with control, though, since the system is actually more polished.

[SirChaotick]

Today I shall return from Austria. I shall finally know the joys of my normal computer again. For here there exists only one type of keyboard: the QWERTZ that can not register more than two keys at once.

Which really is a liability. I hope all the embarrassing failures on SA (Can't even get to the boss of stage 3) are due to the keyboard and not to me.

[Tsym]

"Oh yeah I'll just get one more attempt at MoF in before I go to bed."

>Get to Stage 4 with 5 lives
>Clip bullet
>Run into bullet
>Clip another one
>Die twice to Aya's final spell card.

So angry.

[Darkblizer]

God, what started as a good run ended really badly when I lost all of my lives on Stage 4 and Stage 5 due to clipdeaths and clumsy reactions
I might just need some time to get used to the system the later games have or something. After what Tsym and BM mentioned, I'm really beginning to notice that the slight increase in speed is probably causing the miscalculations which feel like clipdeaths and all of the other clumsiness.

[Karisa]

Somewhat late reply, but:

not enough restarts

>not enough restarts
>1227 and 370 as opposed to my 1880 and 177

:V

Don't forget that "Times Used" in Touhou 10+ includes all difficulty levels combined, though.

[BT]

I counted everyone together (so ReimuA and SanaeB mostly) and subtracted what I estimated was ~everything else~ when I said ~1800. 1880 is my exact number with ReimuA, the one I posted the records for.

That's a lot, though. 

[Lepetit89]

Threw my chair again, starting to hate 12.3 for its parts that have fake difficulty and bullshit written all over them.

[Star King]

Got boss bodyslammed for the first time I can remember... by boss Marisa of all people

And then in the SAME RUN I somehow got FinalA and FinalB mixed up, when I was supposed to be unlocking Kaguya's Lunatic cards. I guess I subconsciously thought of A as being "main" and B being "secondary", so A should be Kaguya. In the opening of Stage 6A, I did my usual Kaguya stage safespot without really looking at the number of fairies, and died, of course, since I was doing it for the wrong stage. I was like "wut? that was strange", and then the fairies starting spawning with the curling bullet patterns instead of the bullets going straight down, and I was like "oh... ". Wasted 30 minutes because of a stupid mixup. And I barely missed the 1100 point item extend before I lost my last life because of less point items, too, although I don't really care because I wasn't expecting a 1cc anyways.

Oh, and Eirin is impossible for me. Just impossible. Remilia and Kaguya ain't shit compared to the great psychotic nurse.

On the, uh, "bright" side, I unlocked Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, oh boy. Considering how I'm the worst person in the world at Resurrection Butterfly, bar none, with about a 10% chance of surviving a SINGLE red wave on NORMAL mode, this will be fun.

You can beat SFN by literally not moving at all.

Just throwing that out there.

[Seppo Hovi]

SFN was made to be timed out, only then can you see it in it's full beauty.

[fondue]

Shou: *Trollface* Problem?
Aya: FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Never mind about Hourglass, I figured it out, and it was something really dumb too. I pasted the actual program onto desktop instead of a shortcut, so it was missing some of the needed files :derp:

Question (really for anyone): I can get it to open the game, but I can't get it to savestate without crashing.

[BT]

If you can see anything at that stage, sure. :V

[Zengeku]

If you can see anything at that stage, sure. :V

I could. And it was amazing. Go do it already.

Next up, the no-movement timeout challenge.  :V

OK, now what are the odds of that lol. And part of my motivation of doing SFN, other than my goal of capturing every spellcard in IN, was to get good at Resurrection Butterfly.

You were doing MAlice cannon wrong btw, you're supposed to tap shift and let go as soon as possible with a certain beat, not switch between holding shift and not holding shift with a certain beat. It works because Alice's shot stays out for quite a few frames with one tap. Just throwing that out there.

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

ON! You are so on!

[Tsym]

OH MY GOD. Died to VoWG right as it was exploding. I hate myself so much. One too many clipdeaths... Just one too many argghdsajfda.

Out of all the cards in MoF, VoWG and PWG seem the furthest out of my current skill level. I think it's time to grind through Kanako until I can near perfect her. The only real trouble spots are Yamato Torus, Source of Rains when it decides to throw some really bad walls my way, and VoWG. Arrrgghhh I was soooo close...

[I have no name]

I have no clue if this is an accomplishment or something to RAGE over.

1DNB lunatic Utsuho.  The death was to her 2nd spell, because I unfocused a split second too late.

Both. <_<

Keep it up, you're bound to get it sometime. Have you perfected any other stage 6s?

I'm not really caring about the stage parts for the most part, and I have not perfected any stage 6 boss on lunatic (and the only one I've done on hard is Kanako).

The other thing is that was a pretty random run-My histories on Utsuho are out of 7 I think  :V

Read the description of the video. I understand how to do it perfectly well, it's just totally impossible to do it when you have the game speed set to 300 FPS because you have to tap Shift inhumanely quickly.

[Star King]

Oh OK, my bad :V. So how many attempts did that take you?

[Byaaakuren]

Ya, it's very easy to mess up SA, especially when you're going for graze :colonveeplusalpha:

[Chuckolator]

*perfects entire stage portion of IN 6a for the first time*

Oh yeah, I feel good about this run!

*dies to exactly the second bullet wave of Genealogy*
*tries to supergraze blue walls in Game of Rising, dies before red bullets arrive*
*dies to Omoikane's Brain before first familiar leaves*
*dies to Apollo 13's second wave*
*clips a bullet in Astronomical Entombing before Eirin hits half health*
*dies to the red waves in Hourai Elixir*

On the bright side, I ended with a score of 0335335330. <_<

[BT]

>gave up on 1ccing PoFV Hard a while ago
>LET'S GO LUNATIC
>reach Shiki with 2 extra lives

5 minutes later

>OH GOD

[Seppo Hovi]

ON! You are so on!

I already said it to Zengeku on IRC, but this is not doable. It gets dense enough to kill you if you are too high on the screen.

Also timing it without movement (from the bottom) before actually timing it out would make me very very angry.

[BT]

Shikieiki with 2 extra lives again. Is this even possible?

[I have no name]

Shikieiki with 2 extra lives again. Is this even possible?

Yes.

Although my 1cc with Marisa died 4 times to her IIRC  :V
