Touhou ParseeRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE Thread Part 4

[Esoterica]

THANK YOU. The only reason I managed to 1cc IaMP lunatic was because FOR ONCE Yukari both activated a spell card AND used it before getting knocked into the infinite loop that is Pandemonium. It's like some esoteric knowledge of fighting game fans how to make IaMP do the moves you want when you want.

Touhou fighters have extremely easy inputs compared to other fighting games.  You don't have any of that 632146HPKSHDKS632146H crap that other fighters have.

* Lifespring Infinity waits for someone to figure out what attack that input is and tell him it's easy.

SoEW Lunatic takes stupid to WHOLE NEW LEVELS.

This is ironic in the sense that SoEW is the first Touhou shmup.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

**** yes. No Deaths Normal Orin boss fight MarisaB.


**** No, How did I die that 4 times during the stage practice during the stage portion. Still, knowing I could potentially no death the stage in an actual run is great.

Okay, what the Hell SA Stage 4 Hard? Was trying to unlock the stages on Hard for practice and couldn't get past this.

Lunatic makes it look like a joke. I'm not kidding.

It's just.....THESE LASERS.
And BoWaP. I keep failing it.

[AlexX Unlimited]

I have only myself to blame for this, but SoEW Lunatic takes stupid to WHOLE NEW LEVELS.

Technically the only difference between SoEW Hard and Lunatic is that defeated enemies in Lunatic fire revenge bullets at you.

'Course, considering how much the game hates players that ends up being a much bigger issue than it would be if it were like that in any other game...

[Seian Verian]

Why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go up against Sakuya, I have at the very, very least one death that least me screaming "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL JUST HIT ME?!" No, seriously. Why? And then Remi did it too on Young Demon Lord, wasting three precious, precious bombs. If it weren't for those two utterly ridiculous deaths, then maybe, just MAYBE I could have 1cc'd EoSD Hard. It doesn't help that the deathbomb time sometimes goes into the negatives instead of just really small for some random reason T_T

IaMP, StB, or SA?

[nintendonut888]

From his past comments I'd say IaMP.

Out of curiosity, who are you using? I figured out a strategy, but it's very high-risk and requires you to enter the attack with at least one spare life. Just remember that no matter what, Pandemonium can't kill you while you're blocking. Also don't forget that F11 activates stage practice.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I couldn't even make it to Satori on those attempts.

And I wouldn't have been facing Border of Wave and Particle anyway. I would have been facing Mercury Poison, Princess Undine, and Philosopher's Stone.

I'm trying different characters at the moment. For that attempt I used Patchy mainly because of projectile spam and Royal Nuke.  :V
But she's probably not the best choice, because I couldn't get a single hit in after Suika wrecks your HUD at Pandemonium.
I might just borrow your thread because I doubt I'm going to be able to do this without any help.

Also, I think I figured out how to use spell cards properly now. You have to slowly move in the neccesary directions instead of doing a fast sweeping motion.
Still can't do this consistently though. 

[nintendonut888]

Go ahead, it's not meant to be just my thread anyway. And actually Patchy is the best choice. She's not as broken as Aya/Medicine in PoFV, but she's the easiest to use.

[Seian Verian]

Of course I'd have to game over on Hourai Jewel instead of actually getting my IN Hard 1cc -_-

Patchy was the only way I could 1cc IaMP Normal; she has so many varied projectiles that she can basically take out anything.  SWR is much more forgiving, I find. 

And then it throws things like "Doppler Effect" or "All Things Reunite In Death" at you.  And I find that SWR is a truly hateful game, and that both of them are difficult enough to rank as official Touhou games.

You can be proactive against the lasers and make them a non-threat.

BoWaP is only hard at two specific moments: when you're entering into the pattern for the first time, and when you're readjusting after the "wave" comes around. The rest of it can be done by looking above your sprite rather than at your hitbox, a bit like VoWG.

[COPIRIGHTO]

Damnit Parsee, you and your midboss spellcard

I always get raped by the wave part. Always :V

But but but...you just move a little! That's all!

[Bananamatic]

Is it aimed or something? :V

The little bullets are easy enough to dodge in the middle, but then the wave comes along.....*clip*

[Dead Princess Sakana]

SA, got to Utsuho's last card with one life, miraculously survive until the end. Then, when she's already exploding I run into a small white bullet...game over. Please excuse me while I go and hit my head against something hard...

[Drake]

Consistently game overing at Ichirin Hard. But she's so easy. Argh why.

NO EXCEPTIONS

WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING

[Bananamatic]

Looks desynced to me :V

EXACTLY ;_;

[Seian Verian]

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything from stage 2 onward on IN Hard is making me want to destroy things. Seriously, WHY AM I FAILING SO MANY DEATHBOMBS?! HOW THE HELL AM I GETTING HIT BY THIS STUFF?!! AARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: So, decided to go on to MS since IN wasn't going that well... I have to wonder, why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I play this game on Hard, I game over at Yumeko's blue streaming hell? It never fails. Ever.

[LHCling]

1 Death on Vajra. Of all things. I swear I'm going to AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH so hard.
I pray that it stays a 1 Death clear.

[Seian Verian]

My throat seriously hurts... From all of my roaring with rage at IN Hard and LLS Extra. Dear god... x.x

[theshirn]

Game overed with three bombs on Mima FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[lmagus]

I haven't played for over a week =(

[Formless God]

Got Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana to 58 seconds. Why does this thing rely so much on luck ? D:

My hand pretty much moved on its own after the 7th wave >>
