Touhou Challenge-A-Week Thread (lunatics only)

[Knuckx117]

A lo-score challenge of any touhou game on any difficulty. Post what game and what difficulty, because that will obviously affect the score. xD

We already have a challenge going on 

and it's not a very good idea in the first place.

[Garlyle]

Given that we have a tournament too, try to keep these challenges small?

Anyway, gonna give this a shot at work @_@

Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I've got a challenge:

Time out lunatic Sanae's third non-spell (even if you can't reach it on your own download a lunatic 1cc and the stages will be unlocked). Trust me, it's harder than you'd think.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

That was a lot tougher than I thought it would be.

5 deaths no bombs on Sanae's second boss nonspell and 1 death no bomb on the third one(it was game over then at 28 seconds left on it).

But I was using MarisaB to cheese through the stage, so I had a bigger hitbox to deal with. They both seem doable though, even for me.

[Drake]

captured on timeout, no death no bomb

my god sanae's easier on lunatic than on hard

EDIT: Also captured the second one, just to note. First had me die and bomb once because I'm a spaz.

[nintendonut888]

Not feeling this "Sanae's easier on lunatic" thing. I just tried her on hard for the first time in ages and perfected her (note I've only perfected her once on lunatic). Many of her attacks move so slowly you barely have to dodge anything. I hear her opener is supposed to be harder on hard due to the walls clustering, but I bypassed this problem simply by moving through the "walls." On lunatic they move too fast for this to be feasible, but it's quite easy on hard modo.

Okay, my next MoF stage 5 challenge is what I like to call "how to look like you're using tools": On lunatic, stream the opening fairies pacifist (as in moving in between the lanes, not macrododging the whole thing). It's very satisfying when you pull it off. :3

I tried it just now and got it on my first attempt.  But then I just had to try timing out her nonspells and failed pretty epically.  Also, apparently I haven't captured Moses Miracle yet.  0/10. :V

btw, if there's anyone who can time out Buddhist Diamond on Lunatic, I will worship you.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Anyone got an IN score data with it unlocked? Mine is missing everything related to Lunatic FinalB.

Got it on my first attempt but it was still a fun challenge that got my pulse hammering. I guess i should thank you for it.

Btw. so far this thread have been very entertaining. That other challenge with the criss-crossing of hands also proved rather intense compared to a usual piss-easy normal run. No offence to those having trouble with IN Normal

[Sapz]

If there's anyone who can time out Buddhist Diamond on Lunatic, I will worship you.

...How could I resist? 102 attempts. :V

You are terrible!

Topic title fixed for accuracy.

I came into this thread because I wanted to have fun doing a strange challenge, but having all challenges be on lunatic is not enjoyable (or even viable for many people). It's easy to think of crazy challenges on lunatic mode; now use your imaginations and go for hard or normal.

[Drake]

1cc MoF on any difficulty with ReimuA, without bombing.

If your default shot hits an enemy, you lose. If you go through more than twenty seconds without shooting, you lose.

EDIT: The twenty seconds thing is just pillowing. Don't be an idiot, keep shooting unless you are definitely going to hit an enemy if you don't stop.

[Naut]

How exactly is this possible, you do not start with 1 power. You want me to suicide, get some power, then try and kill everything with only homing shots and one less life?

ok

[Drake]

Yes.

[Helix ⑨]

pfff I can do that with my eyes closed but I won't since it's so boring!

[Naut]

Yeah, memorizing every enemy in every stage in MoF is a do not want, pick something less time consuming and more challenging.

My challenges were only on lunatic because they would be pointless below it. >_> Sanae's third spell card on lunatic turns into a rhythm-based affair rather than actual dodging and the super streaming is very easy below lunatic.

[Iryan]

First try: ended on Rainbow Danmaku. On the waves that precede the actual card, to be exact. <.<

Playing with border team and still having a higher death count than bomb count...

I am definitely going to do this, but not tonight. My arms are hurting.

Wait, you said Sanae's third non-spell. Timing out the third card... hmm... oh bother. Maybe.

EDIT: Went for a bunch of tries. 10 or so. Big time mess up. Holy hell its frustrating. Maybe its not so much the card itself but the fact that for every failed attempt awaits a soul-crushingly boring stage 5 run. I quit. That card just became Sanae's hardest for me. I thougt it was Moses' Miracle

[LHCling]

Far too easy. Once you take the streaming "a step further", it becomes pretty stale. Any more waves and I wouldn't have been able to do it though.

[Zengeku]

Streaming? There must be something about this card that i don't understand! Are we talking about the same spell?

Preparation "Takeminakata Invocation"?

Anyone got a replay of that timeout then so i can see what you mean? I've always done it by plain dodging. That works when going for a capture but my timeout attempts have always been ended by a clusterfuck of blue walls and red bullets.

[nintendonut888]

Derp. I DID mean Sanae's third non-spell. I find it hard because even though it's a simple rhythm, it goes on so long you tend to space out, but then you don't notice when Sanae trips you up with a longer wave. Takeminakata Invocation is pretty nasty too though.

[LHCling]

ColonVee.

brb catching up on sleep / preparing to go home.

Okay. Then i did manage your challenge - as i posted earlier: It was enjoyable. Wonder if Baity is up for a timeout of Takeminakata.

Did this thread die already?

[Lopsidation]

I have some fun little mini-challenges~

Hard w/ strategy: Flying Phoenix above the POC.
"Above the POC" is arbitrary, just be rather high on the screen. Be your own judge of how high is fair.
Timing out the whole thing is ridiculous, just convince yourself that it's possible. Surviving 3 or 4 waves is probably enough.

Normal: Start on the right side of the screen on Honest Man's Death, work your way to the left side. Capturing it isn't necessary, just get to the other side.

Easy/Normal: The first two waves of Imperishable Shooting, as high up the screen as you possible.

Did that first one already.  Pretty sure I wasn't above the PoC the entire time, but it was still funny.  Also try Hollow Giant PoC.  It's fairly easy once you figure out the best way to misdirect the waves.
