Previous thread here. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,8552.0.html)
Pulled off something you're particularly proud of? Post it here, no matter how big or small.

PCB: Lunatic 1cc (ReimuB, MarisaA), all Stages perfected
IN: Lunatic 1cc (Border Team), Stages 1, 2, 3, 4B, and 5 perfected, Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana time-out
StB: all Scenes cleared
MoF: Lunatic 1cc (ReimuB), all Stages perfected, VoWG NDNB time-out

You need to figure out a fancy title for this thread. Seriously. You do. :V
-
Accomplishment lists?
EoSD Normal 1CC
PCB Normal 1CC + Extra Clear + Phantasm Clear
IN Normal 2 x 1CC
MoF Normal 1CC + Extra Clear
SA Easy 1CC
UFO Normal 1CC + Extra Clear (Although I aim to redo this because of 50% lag)
Almost all of them accomplished with Needles Reimu :I
I'm shooting for SA next, and scorerunning PCB Phantasm. My previous score on it was ghastly.
It looks like I've been a member here for fifteen months, so I've been playing on and off for about that long then.
-
All Skill and No Luck.
Yeah. PoFV Hard clear, but where is that replay?
-
The title needs something to do with UFO. For people who think they're the chosen ones~

LLS Normal 1cc
MS Normal 1cc
EoSD Hard 1cc, Extra cleared (90FPS GO!)

PCB: Lunatic 1cc (all shot types)

After 300 attempts

About what Zengeku said at the end of the last thread.
"Bomb and be happy."
Sakuya B's bombs are shitty for damage and when I try and bomb the shit out of Merlin she doesn't take enough damage and I end up using more than 4 bombs.
-
TD (trial): Lunatic 1cc (Reimu, Youmu), Stage 1 perfected; current best score (Reimu): 274,013,140 (is this still a world record? I can't tell)
Not quite. (http://score.royalflare.net/th13/history13.html#L3C3)

Have you tried shotgunning during bomb invincibility? SakuyaB's bomb is used for border milking anyway.
Have you saved the replay ? =o
Yes. Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14922)

Lists? Okay.
LLS Lunatic 1cc + Extra
MS Hard 1cc + Extra
EoSD Lunatic 1cc + Extra
PCB Lunatic 1cc + Extra and Phantasm + Every boss except Yukari perfected.
IN Lunatic 1cc + Extra + Almost every spell card timed out. Only a small amount of exceptions. Fantasy Heaven, Blink and that sort of stuff.
MoF Lunatic 1cc + Extra + Every Stage perfected.
SA Lunatic 1cc + Extra + Every main game boss perfected.
UFO Lunatic 1cc + Extra
GFW Lunatic 1cc + Extra
TD Trial Lunatic 1LC
Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler ALL SCENES clear. In DS, with Hatate too.
Other than that I have timed out many difficult spellcards with the most impressive ones being Virtue of Wind God and Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana.
Oh and Mystic Square Lunatic will never happen.

I guess you might wanna learn to dodge the attack then? Or you could just play with Marisa. She also gets a lot of cherry borders, her power is great and Lyrica starts the fight out. Oh and if anyone tells you otherwise, no, her max rank opener is not difficult.
-
Not quite. (http://score.royalflare.net/th13/history13.html#L3C3)
Thanks for showing me that page. I couldn't find any links to that from the main page, hence why I wasn't sure if anyone had scored higher.
-
Second IN 1cc on Normal, this time with Border Team. Quite a surprise, given that the first four or five runs I did today I couldn't get past stage 2 without dying half the time, and the rest keine killed me. Bit of a messy run yet again in the later stages, particularly against Reisen and Kaguya, though I did think I was going to capture Earth Light Ray at one point, which would be a first for me on Normal.
Anyway, replay: here (http://V).
-
List:
SoEW Normal
PoDD Normal
LLS Hard + Extra
MS Normal + Extra
EoSD Lunatic + Extra
PCB Lunatic + Extra/Phantasm
IN Lunatic+ Extra
PoFV Normal + Extra
MoF Lunatic+ Extra
SA Lunatic + Extra
UFO Lunatic + Extra
GFW Easy
DS (unlocked Hatate before accidentally deleting my progress)
10D Trial Lunatic
Various timeouts, some not so great and some that are. VoWG and SFN being the 2 main great ones.
PCB Extra/Phantasm No Bomb clears. Phantasm No Deaths clear
IN No Bombs 1cc + No Death Extra. Lunatic 1ccs with all teams and all characters except Sakuya and Alice who are just plain suck. No Focus Lunatic 1cc with Marisa.
MoF No Death Extra. No Bomb Extra
This will probably stay the same as I don't even play these games all that much now.
-
Hell yeah! My first ever extra clear of a Touhou game goes to Perfect Cherry Blossom! In addition, the run includes my 3rd or 4th ever capture of Blue Oni, Red Oni, and my first captures of Charming Seige and Shikigami ~ Chen. Derped on Banquet of 12 General Gods and the Final Stage Part though, but managed to end with 1 life and 1 bomb in stock!
Here's the replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14978
-
Today was a good day for me in UFO. :)
Firstly, I got my first ever Ghost "Sinker Ghost" capture on Normal which was really lucky dodging and me not having any bombs left so I couldn't bomb, which I almost always do on that spell.
And secondly, I finally got my first Normal 1cc of UFO, with SanaeA :D I finally got past Flying Fantastica, which I always get nervous at.
-
Perfect Erich Hard in Shuusou Gyoku :V. Game-over'd on VIVIT form 3, need to 1cc this...
-
May as well list my accomplishments to cap off my most productive month of Touhou ever.
1CCs of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, ReimuA, ReimuB, MarisaA.
1CCs of Perfect Cherry Blossom, ReimuB, SakuyaA
Perfect Cherry Blossom Extra Clear, ReimuB
1CC of Mountain of Faith, ReimuB
All in the span of one month, not including the lesser accomplishments like "I finally reached Murasa in UFO" and "I made it to Blazing Wheel in SA" and "I cleared FinalA of IN with the Magic Team with one continue". All of such (besides the Extra clear, naturally) is on Normal.
-
This chart is getting a bit sloppy (and big) (http://i.imgur.com/F2zqF.png)
i may just do away with the easy column completely
-
My accomplishments in total? Let's see...
PCB Normal no bombs with ReimuB
PCB Hard 1CC with ReimuB
PCB Extra no deaths with ReimuB
PCB Phantasm clear with all shot types
PCB Phantasm no deaths with SakuyaB
IN Easy no deaths no bombs with solo Yukari
IN Extra cleared with all shot types (yes, even solo Sakuya)
IN Extra no bombs with Border Team
MoF Normal 1CC with all shot types
MoF Extra clear with all of Reimu's shot types (and lol MarisaB[ugged])
SA Easy no deaths with ReimuC
SA Normal 1CC with ReimuA, MarisaA, and MarisaC
UFO Normal 1CC with SanaeA (could probably do more but I don't particularly care for UFO)
As for recent accomplishments, did this just today:
Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing", Lunatic, Reimu solo, no focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14979)
[edited for formatting fail]

that's my accomplishments in total
-
Seihou Hard 1cc!
Sorry Jaimers, I lied about skipping straight to Lunatic :ohdear:
-
I am very close to my goal of 1ccing SA lunatic. I got as far as Okuu's first spell today.
Sad moments: I nearly got to Okuu with 1 extra life, but I was so happy after killing that will-o-wisp that I forgot about the remaining bullets coming down...
Epic moments: Orin's 3rd and hardest nonspell. I have .50 power, she just dropped another .50...but it's surrounded by bullets. I dash forth and spam the x button, hoping for the best. I hear death - no wait, a deathbomb! I proceed to beat the nonspell on 0.00 power and get a star. Awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upV4JQYaQEQ
I think I'll just focus on Imperishable Night's Extra Stage for a while. Maybe I'll get a clear there at some point.
-
It's been a while since I've posted here, so I'll throw this in:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15008
Not a bad IN run, my best so far even with a lot of mistakes. Cleared 5/1.
Also I could post my accomplishments list but I don't think it's progressed much. It just feels like showing off by how ridiculous it's gotten at this point anyway. :<
-
No focus capture of Hourai Elixir on Normal. Yeah!
-
Hmm, achievement list time again. Really not much has changed since last time, even though I'm certain I've improved a lot. D:
I guess the main thing is SA no bombs.
EoSD: Hard 1cc, Extra no bombs clear
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Phantasm 90fps clear
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Extra 1lc, all spell cards captured
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Normal 1lc, Extra perfect, all spell cards captured
SA: Lunatic no bombs 1cc, Extra clear, all spell cards captured
UFO: Lunatic 1cc, Extra perfect, all spell cards captured
FW: Normal 1cc all routes, Extra clear
PoFV: Lunatic 1cc (Aya, Shiki), Extra clear (Komachi, Shiki)
StB: 68/85 scenes
DS: All scenes with Aya, 54/99 scenes with Hatate
More stupid arbitrary accomplishments:
IN Lunatic no focus 1cc (Youmu)
MoF Extra 90fps clear

uh
GJ!

Rather minor (not the best at Touhou)
Able to capture all the spells in PCB Lunatic stage1 by my 2nd attempt.
Able to capture Gengetsu rape time by timeing it out(I wish)
-
I'm learning ns' path through TD Lunatic with Reimu, and in a relatively short time I've managed to get to midboss-Kyouko exactly as he did (save for the Stage 1 midboss). The accomplishment here is more overcoming my muscle memory from my previous path, and my rusty self has been derping in all the familiar places all afternoon, but I'm liking this path so far. Let's see if I can take that top record before the full version comes out.
-
Yes Yes YES!

Badass. That makes you no. 12 or 13? or something. I completely lost count. :)
Welcome in the cool kids club.

I suppose I should repost my accomplishments since everyone else seems to be doing that:
EoSD - Normal 1cc, Hard 1cc, Extra Clear
PCB - Normal 1cc, Hard 1cc, Extra Clear, Phantasm Clear
IN - Normal 1cc, Hard 1cc, Extra Clear (Now working on Lunatic, last attempt reached Hourai Jewel)
PoFV - Normal 1cc
MoF - Normal 1cc, Extra Clear
SA - Normal 1cc (Working on Extra)
UFO - Normal 1cc
-
I captured Suwa War for the first time.
YES.
-
I finally managed to time out Princess Undine in SA Lunatic.
Three words. Fuck. This. Card.
It took me over 60 attempts to do it. That's more than I spent timing out all of her other cards combined excluding NitoriSatori's first two that I haven't done yet.
This card seemed to revolve around a strategy that has something to do with the alignment of the planets, your abilities to stream and just hoping that you don't stream the wrong way where the bullet walls are hiding. I don't know what ZUN was going for with this card but at least its over. Now I never have to play it again.
-
lol, casual 1cc of PCB on hard on my second try. First time using Vsync.
-
I just realised how powerful Reimu B is in EoSD. I'm so close to getting past Counter Clock.
-
Hisoutensoku 1ccs for all possible story mode characters on difficulties Easy, Normal and Hard.
If only Lunatic were so easy...
-
EoSD Extra perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15060) (youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8UrQk_43N4))

I finally beat Remilia in Hard EoSD practice mode.
That would sound completely pathetic on any other touhou game. xD
-
Caught the Ultra versions of Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, Unseasonal Butterfly Storm and Blind Nightbird.
Think twice the amount of bullets and twice as fast.
Ultra is fun~

There's an Ultra patch for stuff other than EoSD? Share!!

http://cheater.seesaa.net/category/9478192-1.html
You need the Japanese exe's for patching.
From what I've seen thus far PCB and IN are the only ones that aren't stupid impossible. The photography games seem to be hit or miss depending on scene.
-
PCB Extra clear on Ultra patch. That wasn't so hard!
-
I'm not familiar with Japanese, could you explain what you have to download, and what to do with it ? %)

Download the ultra patch, copy the files into your Touhou folder, run the patch file from it. Also note that it will replace your th##.exe with the ultra version and make the original into th##.old. The simple fix for that would be to simply rename your new ultra version th##Ultra.exe and your th##.old to th##.exe.
That said, I can't get my IN to patch for some reason =(. Also, VoWG on Ultra mode is ridiculous, Naut needs to try this!!

I reached VoWG with 6 lives in stock, the last spellcard eat them all but one. %D
Exactly the same thing for Suwako's
I forgot : when I patched my game to ultra mode, it added something that makes me auto-bomb when I get hit, is it normal ?
-
Decided to randomly try MoF on hard today and got a lol1cc out of it on my first try.
Almost captured VoWG too but not quite. I find it only fun, not hard, though I'm sure it's harder on lunatic.
-
So we have more potential challenges for the tournament then with these?
Guess I'll have to try these patches out.
-
PCB Ultra Hard 1cc, PCB Ultra Extra, MoF Ultra Normal (and almost Hard D=) 1cc, SA Ultra Normal 1cc.
I forgot : when I patched my game to ultra mode, it added something that makes me auto-bomb when I get hit, is it normal ?
Yeah, that's normal. I wish there was a way to turn it off though...
-
Is it edited to be like a shorter bomb if it's an autobomb, or are they same as normal bombs regardless.
Seems like it would trivialize IN, MoF, and SA though, but I haven't tried them.
-
Not really trivializing with IN, since you'd be burning 2 bombs every time, but yeah, it's just a normal deathbomb.
PCB Ultra Lunatic (5 starting lives) 1cc
-
EoSD ReimuA Extra clear!!!!!!!
Finally got this clear. Now I just have to do SA.
Also first time without hitbox patch and also the game opened in windowed mode for some reason (first time too). I was so lucky I managed to basically one death Flandre (only death on ATTWN).
-
I'm in for Ultra tournaments :) PCB didn't really gain much from it, it just made some noncards much denser and then... Yuyu happens :V
I want to see someone capture Ultra VoWG. I died 6 times. Yes, with autobomb.
-
It's a minor one, but ah well.
I FINALLY CAPTURED RED FROG IN HOUEI ERA 4!
And with only one death in the entire run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15071)

Ctrl+F the following:
Ultraモードパッチのダウンロード

Exactly the same thing for Suwako's
I beat that with only 2 bombs.
-
PCB Ultra Lunatic 1cc
Default lives. Cleared 3/3.
Tried MoF Ultra on Lunatic. Reached VoWG with 2 lives left, got her lifebar to almost 1/4 before losing all my lives (and bombs). Not sure if a 1cc is possible, VoWG is just ridiculous.
MoF Ultra Hard 1cc
So you need at least 5 lives on VoWG to clear, huh?
-
Fuck you Jaimers from interrupting my Touhou Hiatus :V
I played me some StB Ultra. I have so far captured every scene up to and including 5-7. There was some of these that were really difficult. Some even pushed me so far that I got frustrated with my own inability to dodge the thing, namely: 5-5. It cannot be considered bullshit since there is always gaps large enough if you keep moving but there is just so many bullets and they are moving so fast that my brain got overloaded on several occasions.
This patch is entertaining though I fear that it will soon become pretty impossible to clear stuff. Well, i guess I'll have the rest of the games. But for some reason it won't let me patch DS. Even if i try to patch the japanese exe.
If there is anyone around here who knows Japanese, it would be sweet if they would look at this screenshot and translate the error message for me as I don't know the kanji in it. http://imageshack.us/f/837/doublespoilerissues.jpg/
I really want to apply this to Double Spoiler too. It would be sweet if someone could help me out here.
-
Should be something along the lines of "CRC does not match" (whatever CRC is), probably the path since the patch seems to be looking for TOUHOU~1.5-D/th125.exe , but your exe is in Touhou 12.5 - Double Spoiler/th125.exe . Might work if you renamed the folder, but I'm not 100% sure about anything here.
-
DS Ultra 12-3 and 11-2 are so much fun! In 12-3 the screen is almost filled with pink kunai.
-
SA Ultra Hard 1cc, 2 lives in stock even :V The autobomb obviously makes it a lot easier (overall the difficulty was somewhere between vanilla Hard and Lunatic, no more than that), but it's actually quite fun that you can concentrate fully on dodging. I pulled off some very improbable saves that I'd never even attempt in a normal 1cc attempt if I can bomb instead.
-
I'm doing so bad then.
PCB ultra Lunatic game over Yuyuko's card before the survival. MoF Ultra Hard, game over VoWG, SA Ultra Hard game over boss Orin.
IN and PCB Ultra Extras cleared. What did the guy do to Wizard Fox Thoughts though?
-

Thanks for posting that, helped me with my th08. Apparently it was trying to patch to my English one and I had to rename my jp exe/dat files
but it's actually quite fun that you can concentrate fully on dodging. I pulled off some very improbable saves that I'd never even attempt in a normal 1cc attempt if I can bomb instead.
Yeah, I love that aspect of it too.
IN and PCB Ultra Extras cleared. What did the guy do to Wizard Fox Thoughts though?
It added in crossover bullets that will kill you if you move to the side like normal. I'm not sure if it's even possible to cap now.
-
Sucky run on IN Ultra Hard. It's not even all that much harder, I just derped a lot. Most of my screw ups were on stuff that was pretty much the same difficulty on the standard IN, which is just me being out of practice.
Got some of the harder stuff though, failed some of it, and Life Spring Infinity in the patch is total BS.Most of the other stuff on the patch actually looked doable on Hard, though I didn't check out Eirin. Lunatic destroyed me though.

Nah, that unfortunately doesn't work. I wonder what CRC is.
EDIT: Its apparently some thing programs use when transferring data from one place to another to ensure that the all the data is transferred or something like that. Solutions to the problem would be redownloading the patch but that doesn't work. Maybe the problem is with my Double Spoiler installation. When I get back home tomorrow I'll try installing the game. Since I own a physical copy I'll get a completely unpatched game which should be the best for patching it.
I hope that will work. Half of DS is way too easy for me so a patch to make things harder, I say if it is anywhere near as good as the StB patch its bound to be awesome. Yes, the StB patch is pretty hit or miss meaning some of the stuff is likely completely impossible but a lot of other cards have just gotten themselves a lunatic version. :)
That is really welcome for me.
EDIT:
PCB Ultra Extra clear. Finished with three lives. It seemed to be a pretty reasonable thing for the most of the time. I haven't played PCB in like forever so I forgot a lot of things. Eh, i forgot that the attack where Ran teleports to your position to spawn butterflies and a bubble in your direction was supposed to be shot. I thought it was a timeout card. :V
Still, thanks to auto-bombing this thing was really easy to pull off.
IN and PCB Ultra Extras cleared. What did the guy do to Wizard Fox Thoughts though?
He turned it into what appears to be bullshit pretty much. Those crossover bullets are something different though which would indicate that however made these patches actually paid some attention to some individual attacks which is interesting. I thought it was just a lazy speed things up and make more of them-patch.
-
IN Ultra Lunatic 1cc.
Second try even though I forgot stuff and derped a lot.
Pretty hard but it's good hard for the most part.
-
I got to Embers of Love Ultra in SA. Then I lost my final life. Super Ego completely raped my mind and Release of the Id raped me in a more physical way. Embers of Love seems pretty impossible though.
And midboss Sanae has received a neat change i think. Other than that, I made an incredibly implausible series of impossible dodges on one of Ultra Koishi's non-spells.
-
Not even overpowered ReimuC bombs could save me.
I tried SA Ultra Lunatic with her and luck dodged some of Catwalk allowing me to game over on the pellet hell after it instead of on that card.
And to the people doing this good stuff on these Ultra patches, make some vids. Or at least give us the replays if they work with the patch.
-
Replays works in StB Ultra at least and I plan to upload some stuff with it.
-
Did another IN Lunatic Ultra 1cc ending 3/0 this time.
I think I can safely say that full runs get desynced in the Ultra patch as it happened twice now.
I did record it live though and I might upload it.
-
Please do Jaimers. I know from simply watching my own replays in Ultra that silly and completely implausible dodges have a tendency to occur when you have the liberty of autobombing to help you. I for one would like to see what you can make of it.
-
Well, autobombing has to be avoided as much as possible in IN because of the double bomb usage thing. So there's not a whole lot of luckshitting unfortunately.
There is some but not as much as last time (perfect Tewi lol).
Kaguya's opener was pretty funny though.
-
Maybe not but I'd still like to see it so please upload it if you feel like doing so. :)
Now that we are on the topic of Ultra patches. MoF and SA Ultra seems absolutely fucking crazy. Stage 4,5 and 6 both managed to kill me three, four times. It was at 2AM when I played it but still, crazy stuff. I have only tried MoF Stage 1 though and there is something oddly funny about the notion of me not being able to capture Shizuha's spellcard.
Someone should try TAS'ing this. I don't really feel like doing it myself since my idea of advanced hacking is to make Fraps record at 10FPS and I don't have that much disk space to use. Is there someone around here who knows of a way to slow down the game in other ways? If so, please send me a PM about it.
-
The replays seem to work with PCB and MoF Ultra also.
PCB Ultra Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15089)
MoF Ultra Extra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15091)
MoF Ultra Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15090)
Oh, and MoF Ultra Lunatic 1cc is possible.
-
SA Ultra Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15092)
I took a peek at U-Lunatic Subterranean Sun and decided against attempting an 1cc there. It's not exactly VoWG, but a life eater regardless.
-
Whoa, this is awesome!
I haven't played Touhou in a while, so hopefully I'm not too rusty for this. Oh, and StB Ultra is so much fuuunnnn~
brb, I have to keep playing. This is too awesome.
edit: I like how there's no Ultra patch for GFW. That game is already too crazy in Lunatic without freezing anything. @_@
-
After a derp on stage run and a derp on Boss run. I finally got a good run of Phantasm, getting to Danmaku Bounded Field!
For comparison, my previous best was Shikigami - Ran, I could have even beat this if it weren't for me dying twice with 3 bombs in stock at Shikigami - Ran.
Also, less significantly, I've also gotten a 1cc of Imperishable Night and defeated a few pesky cards on normal, namely Apollo 13, Final Spark, Fantasy Seal - Blink, Tele-mesmerism, Dragon's Necklace and Kaguya's last spells

This is what happens when I try to run the Ultra patched EoSD. What does it say and what should I do about it? I've tried all the renaming shenanigans I could think of, and tried running the game with or without JP Locale, with or without Vsync.exe (I think I've covered all the combinations...).
On a brighter note, here's a MoF Ultra Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15100) - barely a legit one, though.
-
Got my 7th capture of VoWG Lunatic.

-
Tried some MoF ultra.
On normal: Sanae's final is great like this, so much better than normally and actually interesting to play. Captured all Sanae's spell cards. Kanako's Source of Rain is awesome on ultra.
Easy: 4 miss (bomb) on Kanako's Mountain of faith, it's also great in ultra, but too hard for me right now.
Beat extra with ReimuA, 1 miss on Suwako's second card! Did some really sweet on the fly freestyle against Kanako's streaming card. 7 trees is much nicer, but Snake eats the frog and Red frog in Hourei Era is insane.
Thanks for posting this, keep being awesome guys!
-
Got my 7th capture of VoWG Lunatic.
Now do it in on Ultra Lunatic :V
Cookies await the one who does. It's probably possible, unlike some of Sanaes noncards (unless I'm missing something)
-
My opinions:
Touhou has just become 20% cooler.
Suwako is super fun, Nue isn't even worth calling a challenge [replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15102)], and Koishi is pretty impossible.
I do love the new Instinct "Release of the Id - Ultra" though. IMO it has the best gimmick (unless you're anyone but ReimuA).
For some reason, I can't patch my IN. I really wanted to try out ultra!LastWords.
Now do it in on Ultra Lunatic :V
Upon seeing that spellcard, I instantly quit. I... I.... *shudders*.
-
Saigyouji Flawness Nirvana Ultra captured
-
So you need at least 5 lives on VoWG to clear, huh?
Figured out a way to clear it with 4 lives.
Just literally shotgun Kanako the whole time after the first few easy seconds. :V
-
I just did it with one death, no bonus points for guessing the "technique" :V
-
Finished MoF ultra extra with ReimuA and 2 extra lives left, lol autobomb
-
Anyone planning on uploading videos of these ultra modes? They sound like a laugh.
As for me, I've been doing some - GASP - scoring in Double Spoiler after my score.dat got corrupted. Last night I finished level 8 and currently have a score of 17 million. My goal: 45 million across all scenes!
No plans for Hatate though. :V lol scoring with Hatate.
-
SA Ultra, Utsuho
- First spell: 2-bombed (ok this is just ridiculous but it looks like the suns can be easily misdirected somehow)
- Second spell: captured
- Third spell: 1-bombed (should be possible...)
- Fourth spell: 3-bombed (WHAT IS THIS)
- Final spell: 1-deathed (ok i give up)

Because he probably can't. For various reasons.

Yeah. He is not good enough :]
Not being serious of course. What would be the problem? Just patch it and it works. Simple as that. I mean, if my shitty laptop can do it then why wouldn't Nut be able to get it running?

Well if its EoSD, then maybe its applocale shenanigans, if its IN, maybe he didnt back up the original dat and exe before patching.

Perfectly Ultimate Yukari Yakumo (Phantasm Ultra) clear, 2nd try. If autobomb didn't happen I would probably be here next week/month/year.
How the hell do you do Butterfly in the Zen Temple ultra btw? It's gone from a relaxing card to absolute bullshit. Same with Wizard Fucking Fox Thoughts.

Exiled doll, Illusionary waterfalls, Yamato torus and several other cards NDNB timeout.
So that makes 22 out of 25 MoF Lunatic spellcards NDNB timeout. The only 3 left are Moses Miracle, Takeminakata and Source of Rains.
Alright, Takeminakata and Source of Rains timeout. I should have also timed out Moses Miracle but died with 5 seconds remaining.

PoFV Lunatic Ultra 1cc is up on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVCdWWJr8-c)
And apparently the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15115) worked.
It seems the only game I can't get to play on Ultra is EoSD. I just get the same message Vanhaomena69 got. :(
Has anyone been able to get the EoSD patch to work?
-
(http://666kb.com/i/bvyg2uhi9px8d7gii.png)
I hope I'm getting somewhere, but I think I'll have to rename my .exe to what it says there (this is a new problem which is promising). I have no clue how to do create those characters. Is anyone able to write that name for me to copy/paste?
I can now either successfully patch a Japanese .exe which doesn't work in the first place, and doesn't work with the Ultra patch either - or I can successfully run a Japanese.exe that works, but the Ultra patch runs into a CRC error when trying to operate with that one.
The working one refuses to be patched.
The non-working one can be patched just fine, but it doesn't work.
:V :V :V

th06Ultra粳・禀穡稈秡.exe

Thank you. Now I managed to get the same error message as before with Applocale as well :V
(http://666kb.com/i/bvyj5qfh26mzhkz8a.png)
I can't think of anything else to try anymore. It's either the CRC error when trying to patch, or this error
(http://666kb.com/i/bvwdw63v6xgbukqca.png)
when trying to run the game.
-
the first error says: CRC does not exist
The second error says: cannot read data/title/th06logo.jpg, data/wav/plst00.wav, data/textanm. Data is gone or corrupt.
(I'm assuming they are referring to the 6 or so .DAT files)
-------------------------
Anyways, perfect Kanako with Marisa C!
Not that surprising here, since 4 frost throwers kills everything so fast.
-
SOLVED!! This is a Touhou achievement of its own. The .DAT files need 紅魔郷 in front of their names, so that x.dat becomes 紅魔郷x.dat etc.
Please tell me if uploading a .RAR with all the required files to make it run properly (patched .exe, the dats, vsync files) is against site policies - if it's OK, I'll share it to spare others of their trouble.

This would be nice. I also have the th08.dat and exe/ultra exe to copy-paste into the folder if anyone else needs it and it's okay to post.
-
Every Ultra works fine except EoSD and IN that won't patch for some reason, and SA that's a bit weird : I have a .exe with Ultra mode, and another .exe with the auto-bomb thing, but not both simultaneously. =x
It would be great if you could upload them. ^^
-
I'm sure it'd be appreciated by a lot of people, but I'm pretty sure that's probably against the rules.
I didn't have a problem with patching PCB, IN, MoF, or SA though. Didn't even bother to download the UFO patch as that's bad enough as is, and I don't like StB, DS, or PoFV enough to bother. PoFV Ultra 1cc could be interesting to see how it compares to Lunatic. I never 1cc'd Lunatic PoFV because the AI completely cheats, but PoFV Ultra could still have some interest.
-
Thanks Vanhaomena69, that did the trick! :toot:
EoSD Ultra looks really fun. Very hard but doable.
I love how in stage 3 you cannot use easy streaming anymore on the wisps.

EXE + dats are enough to run the game, so no. You may distribute a patch, though.

PCB Ultra Lunatic 1cc. Not like that's saying much as it was a 0/2 with SakuyaB.
-
Naut, you are such a buzzkill. :( Well, rules are rules I suppose.
I captured up to 6-2 in StB Ultra. 6-2 however seems a bit on the impossible side with the density it gains on its last phase so I might skip it but not before I'm certain its impossible.

Finally, a lunatic 1cc! Of SA - it was a close one. Got down to my last life in Okuu's final spell.
-

Good going, congratulations! Certainly takes balls to tackle SA first in Lunatic I think.
-
Captured everything in StB Ultra level 6 except 6-2 and 6-5. They seem pretty much impossible. At least with my current skill. 6-2 is a Youmu card and her constant time-slowing makes the card drag out only to deal a killing blow after the 2nd or 3rd photo. You need four to win. After having taken 3 shots things become ridiculous.
6-5 is Chen's scene with pellets coming from up and down. The thing is, these are not only dense but also relatively fast. This is dodgable for the first three shots. You need seven. After the third shot, the bullets start coming from the sides. I've been able to take five pictures but that's it. I can't do this one. The rest was fun stuff though.
Finally, a lunatic 1cc! Of SA - it was a close one. Got down to my last life in Okuu's final spell.
Even if you can bombspam, SA Lunatic is still one of the harder ones imo. Second only to UFO. Unless you count EoSD which might be harder but that's largely due to iffy hitboxes imo.
Congratulations with SA dude.
-
EoSD Extra NDNB ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15123)
Pretty close to 1cc Lunatic too, i need to bomb a little more (and practice Stage 5, because i suck at the pre-midboss Sakuya walls)
-
Beat Remilia Ultra in practice mode with Marisa B.
LOL safespotting Eternal Meek has never been this risk free.
I think that opener can be dodged, but sometimes the small blue bullets won't cooperate.
Young Demon God - wtf
2nd nonspell - easy as ever
Mountain of Thousand Needles - this is also possible and looks way harder than it actually is, but I derped...
I can't dodge 3rd nonspell for some reason
Vampire Illusion - I don't see a huge difference, except the walls are denser, when they happen.
4th nonspell - I fail the easiest streaming :colonveeplusalpha:
Scarlet Meister - I think it's the same. I've never capped it anyways
Scarlet Gensokyo - the first wave tend to make walls with few openings that gets clogged by bubbles from second wave.
-
Bury in Lake capture. Hard mode.
....I wish I was good enough for Ultra D: I wish there were more videos of it on YouTube.

Video of all scenes in StB Ultra Level 4.
Also. Having reached level 7 and already given up on two scenes I think I enter the realm of the less plausible cards. My plan is to play against all of them for a while to see if they are something I can do or not and then record what I can. Level 5 coming up soon.
-
We are all doing Ultra Scarlet Gensokyo the wrong way.

Captured Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana with both Reimu/Yukari and Marisa/Alice.
Though I'm sure you people wouldn't consider anything less than timing it out an accomplishment. That's a bit out of my reach.
Oh, and also captured the hard versions of Yuyuko's last two cards a few days ago. MarisaA.
-
Oh, you don't just need to time it out. You also need to be unfocused the entire time and play as Youmu. If you can't even do that much then you are a disgrace to the Touhou community! >:D... ehe... I couldn't survive more than 2 or 3 waves like that I'm sure. ;)
No, seriously. If you put effort into doing something and suceed at it then that's an accomplishment in itself.
We are all doing Ultra Scarlet Gensokyo the wrong way.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAjtr8Cujw
Derp. Yes. We need to use tool assistance.
-
I just no-deathed Youmu on Normal.
I am very proud of this. Although I probably would have no-deathed the stage too if I hadn't died the second her midboss card ended. Still got the capture though. Somehow.

(I wanted to get my first 1cc before 10D release and i managed to pull it off, too bad this run sucked but oh well, at least i cleared the game)
-
Most people's intial 1cc's sucks. All of mine does. That your first Lunatic 1cc? Congratulations with that man. The rest up to SA and UFO should fall easily to you. :)

SA lunatic Ultra 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15141)
This was... surprisingly more doable than I though. First try even.
Barely dodged anything but whatever.

BTW Aizo, you still got the replay of that MoF Ultra run where you only needed two more bombs? I'd love to see that. :D
-

loooool
That version seems pretty impossible imo.
This version is at least doable, but I can't seem to capture any spell (even though I might get close to).
I'm still looking to see a way of doing the first spell, and also Scarlet Wall-sokyo
-
loooool
That version seems pretty impossible imo.
That was actually what I had in mind when I first saw this Ultra thing... I was slightly disappointed, but these are still fun so...
-
If your run is tool assisted, what does it do? Like, how does it make the bullets easier to dodge?
-
Yay! I got up to Koishi's Embers of Love this time! \o/
I think I'm starting to get the hang of Danmaku Paranoia, Miracle Fruit, and all of Koishi's rice-bullet nonspells. [in Ultra]
Nitorisa is soooo broken in the Ultra patch. Deathbombing + breaking borders is the best, especially with Koishi's oval-bullet nonspells which literally create undodgeable walls.
-
If your run is tool assisted, what does it do? Like, how does it make the bullets easier to dodge?
You lower the FPS and you dodge things in an easier way
-
Decided to give phantasm another good run. It wasn't that great TBH but for the first time, I did capture Double Death Butterfly, without the use of border glitch. I feel accomplished. :derp:
-
BTW Aizo, you still got the replay of that MoF Ultra run where you only needed two more bombs? I'd love to see that. :D
Sorry, I didn't save the replay. Though I have another run where I reached VoWG with 3 lives but I screwed it up.
-
Finished PCB Phantasm again, this time almost effortlessly AND with about 150m over my previous best. (now 618m)
I feel good about myself now :V
EDIT: Cleared PCB Hard with MarisaA, broke 570m, remaining resources 1/1 (obligatory Youmu screwups)
Obviously a good Touhou week has to coincide with exam week riiiiiiiiiight
-
TD Perfect stage 5 boss lunatic.
She's no Shou that's for sure.
Also got really close twice to a perfect stage 4.
EDIT:
Timeout of that one card of Yuyuko's that got really crazy if you timed it out.
EDIT2:
Perfect stage 4 lunatic.
-
Jaimers. That hurts my soul. We are not supposed to do this so easily. I've had a horrible framerate due to inconsistencies with my laptop, as in sometimes Stage 3 works at 60 FPS and other times we are talking fucking 40. Urgh.
Because of this a lot stage portions or just sections with a lot of bullets doesn't run smoothly and I haven't been able to do much at all. I've seen Lunatic though and there isn't much there that worries me.
-
10D Extra clear. Pretty easy I think, but goddamn what's going on with that boss?
-
Sorry but I'm just really on fire today. :derp:
Anyway, have a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tWPK1kM674) of that perfect stage 4 of TD.
-
Did a 10D normal 1LC my first try last night. :o
Also damn it Jaimers, too fast. >:< Though, I may 1cc lunatic before the English patch comes out at this rate. The game is still hard on lunatic, but it's certainly no UFO.
-
ZUN sure ain't kidding when he said he'd make 10D easier... beat normal on my fourth try, and the previous three were all restarts after ramming something stupid in stage 1/2.
(Wasn't a very pretty run later on, though, since I realized that I have far too many bombs in stock in stage 5 and started emptying it on anything that looks remotely tricky)
-
10D spellcard 4 hard (MOZAN style)
http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th13_udn889.rpy
-
Sorry but I'm just really on fire today. :derp:
It doesn't seem to require much fire to be honest. These new characters seem like nothing after having dealt with Shou and Byakuren. Doesn't mean the game is bad. Necessarily.
Oh. Got myself a 1cc of Normal with Reimu. My first was with Sanae. Then I decided she was a suboptimal shot type and decided to unlock Extra with Rei and I died once. I don't know what to think of that. There is lag spikes so that might have something to do with it.
EDIT: Timed out two spellcards. Nothing special but i figure I might as well post it. Its the first and third spell of Nue
. For some reason the first spellcard gave me trouble enough to fail 8 times! The way those bullets just redirect themselves really threw me off. Pretty embarrassing really. ;)
-
TD perfect stage 6 lunatic. :getdown:
-
What the hell man? ZUN wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to make things easier. That Stage 6 boss better be harder than Yuyuko or else I'll be moaning myself to sleep over the fact that we get spell practice back when its not really needed any longer. Not that I mind it being here, its still awesome to have it back.
-
Come on people, we all know Jaimers is like a Touhou prodigy around here. Can't really expect much less from him. Big congrats by the way.
Anyway, cleared Lunatic after like 3-4 continues. I still have no idea where the hitboxes for these new arrow bullets are (as in, just the arrowhead or along some portion behind it too), but I'm liking the new bosses so far. They actually look fair, unlike how Shou was. :V Given that I'm returning from a short bullet hell break to begin with, I'll need more time to learn stuff and get reused to the controls. I'll probably also stick with only Lunatic until I feel like unlocking the Overdrive cards.
-
You are right. I shouldn't be making judgements too fast before I've done thorough testing and playing of Lunatic mode. For now, @Jaimers. Where is that replay or make a video about it.
EDIT: And EX-midboss Spell 2 timeout. Why the fucking hell did this take 39 attempts? I am a bit tired but that's so not an excuse. I mean, damn! 39 attempts much? Well, that's it. I am depressed now. Good night everyone.
-
PARASOL STAR MEMORIES CAPTUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
And I captured Night Train in the same damn run. If I hadn't gotten unlucky with Nonsense Sign Rain it *could* have been a perfect.
-
10D easy 1cc, since you need to
beat the target spell card on all difficulties to unlock its overdrive version
. Somehow I did worse than on normal. BV I must say though, Youmu is a lot better than I thought from the demo, since if you can keep her at full power she completely wrecks the game. Still haven't managed the extra boss, but it's only a matter of time...
-
10D 1cc normal got it on my 2nd try
-
TD perfect stage 6 lunatic video! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itt0BNGd1nk)

you never told me I had to stay close to the boss though
:V

Could you explain a bit more about "Overdrive" ? How many of these spell cards are there ? How do you unlock them ?
-
Could you explain a bit more about "Overdrive" ? How many of these spell cards are there ? How do you unlock them ?
Eight. You unlock the Overdrive variant by clearing that card on all difficulties.
-
TD Extra boss Overdrive spell cap.
I sucked at this spell the first time I did it in extra mode. Then I cleared it first try in spell practice. Then first try again on Overdrive.
Also on the stage 6 boss spell 4 I think I never would've thought of going round in circles
Also spell practice is too bare for me. Needs more cards.
-
Captured all Overdrives except S4. Yuyuko's is actually hard. Seiga's ... well, 0/300. The tracking orbs always wall me, there has to be a gimmick I overlooked.
-
I couldn't find one. Those homing orbs are difficult, but the only way I found was to just keep misdirecting them to the sides and slipping through them to hit her a bit. Takes a while and it's not overly reliable, but it's how I got my cap.
Also spell practice is too bare for me. Needs more cards.
Agreed. Kinda wish every card had an overdrive version, can't be that difficult to think of new ways to make some of these more difficult.
-

That's what Ultra is for.
-
It's really sad if I can unlock all of the cards in under two days (which I did).
Also capped Kyouko's Overdrive first try, the final boss' Overdrive in 2-3 tries and I think I might have done the stage 5 boss' Overdrive too.
And almost got Yuyuko's first try. Since then I haven't been able to get that far.
-
TD Normal 1cc on my first try. Yeah it's easy as hell but Stages 4-6 are pretty damn fun. Dat last Stage 5 spellcard :V
-
Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc (replay attached to post).
Well that took a little less time than I thought. I was expecting this to take me until later this morning or so (it's past midnight where I am), but thank God for my good memorizing skills. :V Some of these stages are gonna be a bitch to perfect, though I still think I have a better shot at all of these than some stages from previous games.
Dat last Stage 5 spellcard :V
I know right? The Lunatic version reminds me of Phantasm Romance Yuuka's first boss card, except even better.
-
I captured Kyouko's Overdrive =D
-
OH MY GOD.

If it helps, I was using Youmu, who ended the card very quickly. I'm trying it with Reimu now and am at 75 tries with no success. BUT OH MY GOD THIS CARD IS SO FUN. 8D
EDIT: And captured it, 1/114. My god, that was the most fun I've had in Touhou in a while.

Blind Hard 2cc, followed by a 2 life clear of Normal, but...
I've had a horrible framerate
Mhm. And for some reason, when mine drops it decides to stay there. Basically whole boss fights at 40fps... It's quite boring :(. Oh, and the final boss' last spell is a complete joke. Simple vertical streaming, it feels more like a stage 4/5 spell than a final... I capped it blind =/.
-
Cleared the first 3 Overdrives =D
Overdrives are so much fun :3
-
10D (or TD?) Hard 1cc with Marisa, since nobody seems to pay much attention to her.
One of the things I'm really glad about is that if you have enough trance during a spellcard and you're on your last life and you have 17/18 heart fragments...
Well, that second wind seriously saved my 1cc.
-
Got a good framerate today. Only 0.5% lag. So I went and did myself a Hard 1cc. It was so easy that failing the last card, getting rammed by Kyouko, clipping one of final boss girls non-spells and and having a spirit spawn on me in Stage 4 didn't matter. When I faced the final bosses first spellcard I seriously thought I was hit by some massive slowdown but no, it was running at 60FPS. The bullets were just that slow. :)
Well, now with that done I guess Lunatic is up next but I actually feel more like perfecting stages first like with UFO. This will likely not take 2 years to do again! (Then again, I wouldn't really call myself a Lunatic before 1 year after UFO's release but whatever)
Also. Put a credit at Lunatic mode. Got to S5 midboss and game overed. This could well have been a 1cc if I didn't have those disgusting deaths at Stage 4. Well. Its practicing time. Now that all spells in Spell Practice mode has been captured excluding Stage 4's overdrive I'll relax a bit for today I think.
Also. First try against the Stage 5 boss; 1-bomb no deaths. Silly girl, what is she trying to accomplish?
I don't like the hitboxes on those yellow bullets that appears in Final boss girl's 3rd card. They bring back ugly memories of EoSD.
Also. Kyouko's overdrive. Grab a really easy spellcard and make it 30 attempts hard. Impressive ZUN.
Yuyuko's, Yoshika's and Stage 5 boss girl's Overdrives took 1, 3 and 1 attempt respectively. They looked cool however. I haven't been able to access the Stage 5 midboss Overdrive though. Anyone know how to get that?
PS: Stage 6 boss girl's Overdrive 1 attempt capture as well. The Lunatic version was harder for me. And that's with using the circling around trick.
-
Yeah, those overdrive cards are way too easy.
I got them 1/1, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/8, 1/2, 1/1 and 1/2 in stage order respectively.
Should be fun trying to time them out though.
EDIT:
Okay, timed everything out except for stage 1 and EX. These are pretty hard because of their sheer length.
EDIT:
Also, how do you upload replays to the Gensokyo replay archive? :derp:
-
Also, how do you upload replays to the Gensokyo replay archive? :derp:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/up13.html :wat:
-
Thanks, the thing didn't show up in the upload page but I should of guessed. :derp:
All overdrive cards timed out.
Does anyone know if the last spell in Extra has a timeout phase? The game still won't let me past the survival, it even crashed with Sanae.
-
Made it to the survival card of Extra with three lives. The time runs out and it crashes. That's pretty much an extra clear there. But how come that some people don't crash upon seeing that card? T and SP managed to clear but T says that it crashes whenever he captures the card. For me it just crashes regardless though. :(
EDIT: TD Stage 4 Lunatic 1-death no bombs 1st attempt. What the fuck? That one death was on the 2nd spellcard of the boss. The retarded girl got too close to me before I could finish off moe girl.
EDIT 2: Yeah eh scratch that. Perfected Stage 4 Lunatic now. I went into spell practice and developed a strategy for the 2nd card of hers. It was a bit inspired from Jaimers' strategy but I instead of misleading retarded girl twice, i just shot at moe girl after knocking retard down once.
The stage had what I consider to be two challenging parts. The final bit there at the end and the midboss non-spell. That's where most of the few attempts went. I only had to try the boss once after learning her 2nd spell. Its a pretty decent stage although many of the sections can be completely trivialized.
-
You must bomb when the timer is below 3 seconds. Your bomb will still be active when the boss reappears, and it won't crash. ;)
Does anyone know if the last spell in Extra has a timeout phase?
Yes it does : http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15194. ^^ (I got surprised when the timer reached 20, so I failed the spell %))
-
Okay. TD Extra clear. Pretty much second attempt. There was two attempts before it but they both ended in a crash. And had better resources at the end of the survival card. Figures that a 'solution' to the crashing issue would show up just when my runs starts to go very badly. I died some pretty embarassing deaths but whatever. I don't feel like making a better run before this issue is patched. Which it will be. Right ZUN?
-
I really need some sort of a patch for this one. All controls respond quickly... except when I'm trying to release any key. That means that when I want to stop moving, including when I want to change direction, I keep moving to the original direction for noticeably longer than I intended. MoF, SA and UFO have no such problems.
EDIT: Okay, I forgot this this is not a "10D general thread" so this post is ill-placed :V. Umm, I still perfected Stage 1, that's an accomplishment, right?
-
Using this workaround, I finally beat the extra boss. That's a STUPID workaround, but until the game is patched, I'll accept it.
I noticed there was some fourth wall dialogue from ZUN afterwards...I wonder what it said?
Also, I love how Mamizou never loses her crooked grin even in her defeat portrait.
-
Have an Overdrive cards timeout video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZM-Hzji6Q)
Also finally beat Extra thanks to Dusk's advice.
The first time when I got there though I was out of bombs so I suicided to get some. *enters Trance* FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU >:(
-
Jaimers why you do dis. ;_; Why don't you go and 2-ALL Dodonpachi or something?
-
After the nightmares of Shou and Orin, beating a stage 5 boss perfectly BLIND, even on Normal, felt sooooo gooooood.
-
Damnit Jaimers, I was planning to uproad captures of these Overdrives.
But man, Tojiko's Overdrive is beautiful. Combined with the background music it's just perfect.
Yuyuko's, Yoshika's and Stage 5 boss girl's Overdrives took 1, 3 and 1 attempt respectively. They looked cool however. I haven't been able to access the Stage 5 midboss Overdrive though. Anyone know how to get that?
You capture that spell in Stage Practice.
T and SP managed to clear but T says that it crashes whenever he captures the card.
Speaking of T, his playstyle reminds me of Heartbeam
, I wonder if that's true :V
-
Seiga's
Overdrive finally captured. The Gensokyo replays site isn't working for me right now, so replay attached to this post.
Curvy lasers still suck.
-
And TD perfect stage 5 lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15214)
The end of the stage is obviously not meant to done without hypering or bombing but I still got pretty consistently past it. Those nonspells of the boss are pretty easy to accidentally die on though. The midboss was also very annoying until I understood the pattern.
EDIT: And captured it, 1/114. My god, that was the most fun I've had in Touhou in a while.
And this is totally why you should get the Ultra patches. They are full of fun crazy shit like that.
Why don't you go and 2-ALL Dodonpachi or something?
Does Ketsui count? Because I already did that. :V
-
And this is totally why you should get the Ultra patches. They are full of fun crazy shit like that.
Too bad Seiga is buggy as hell. And the laser attack isn't different from the original.
S5 and S6 Ultra (http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/295276_1715448426390_1843603191_1147734_4157567_n.jpg) are very fun and satisfying to play, though :3
-

Eeh, there's a difference between what I'll put up with in spell practice and what I'll put up with in a full game.
Does Ketsui count? Because I already did that. :V
Ura loop? If so...
死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね死ね
Oh yeah, and all overdrives captured. Even if Jaimer's video completely obsoletes it, I'm planning on making a video of all my captures.
-
Just for some laughs, I did Ten Desires Stage 1 on Normal with no deaths, no focus, no bombs and no trance. :3
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15223
-
Sanae Hard 1cc. Though not quite as impressive as my Marisa 1cc.
I'm not sure on the specifics, but...
I think Marisa's missiles might be stronger than Reimu's Needles this time around. I'm goinga go toss around some replays in Spell Practice and see what I find.
-
Ten Desires Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15231)
Not too hard I'd say. I spent more time restarting after derp deaths before Mamizou
than actually gameovering on her. And I'll have to wait for that patch to arrive before I try perfecting this one.
Also, started recording stuff for a Lunatic scorerun. Quite a bit of the first half is similar to what I'd do in the demo, but I still need to find out how many lives I might need for later (to cash in on the higher base Point values, naturally). I also like that Stage 4 doesn't appear to require anything too complicated for scoring.
-
Finally found out that streaming up/down on Blue Oni, Red Oni is easier and captured the card. Also captured Fox Tanuki Youkai Laser :3
edit: YES YES YES I FINALLY GOT PAST COUNTER CLOCK *dies to first wave of red balls in ATTWBN* D:
Oh well. I still got to Flandre's survival, which has taken me like a month and a half.
-
Hard 1cc of 10D now on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRSDj4Wn9FY)
Because videos are so much easier to watch and critique than replays.
Also...
Damage test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4iDgJ_zVPI) of shot types and such in Spell Practice.
I'll try to do some bomb tests later, maybe.
-
Finally found out that streaming up/down on Blue Oni, Red Oni is easier and captured the card. Also captured Fox Tanuki Youkai Laser :3
o.O I've always found streaming up down to be harder. My brain isn't good at dodging sideways bullets, so I go down for the first wave then go right/left. 2 captures with up down compared to about 8 with left right
-
TD Perfect Stage 5 Lunatic now on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5gZrrGBBHg)
Ura loop?
Nah, Tsuujou. Ura is still a bit out of my league for now.
Though I might be able to 1cc it starting from the loop itself. Made it to DOOM's final attack in an earlier attempt this way.
-
o.O I've always found streaming up down to be harder. My brain isn't good at dodging sideways bullets, so I go down for the first wave then go right/left. 2 captures with up down compared to about 8 with left right
I guess some others find sideways streaming easier than up/down, but with me I just want to finish her off as soon as possible so I choose the latter. I'm still trying to figure out her second card, though.
-
Timed out
Miko
's first spell.
Holy shit, she's harder and more fun than I thought. The only attacks I'm consistent at are yellowwballs and DISCO. I'm having a hard time against simple (or so I thought they were) stuff like Rainbow Meek (wtfhitboxes) and Chaotic Dance (near solid walls by the 4th wave).
-
1cc of 10D hard. I like this game a lot.
Maybe it's just me but I find Yoshika harder than Seiga
and the stage 5 boss...
-
Successful 1cc Youmu Normal Ten Desires. Whoo! I found out Youmu has a hard time with those
Extra stage big fairies with rings of doom
That's my first windows game 1cc! Also managed to capture Miko's Eternal Meek lookalike thingy spellcard.
-
Capped all Overdrives and all Lunatic spell cards.
Timed out some of Futo's spells. Safespotting Futo's last spell on Lunatic and clearing it a couple of times (that's what I was talking about in the scoring thread if someone didn't download the attached replay).
Doing the same for the Overdrive version 3 times (one of them timeout) within 10 tries.
-
Youmu Hard 1cc.
I'm totally calling Miko's Eternal Meek
GOOSE CAAAAANNOOOON
Even though it's something-something-of Guse Kannon, apparently.
-
Erm... her Goose Cannon is actually organized, unlike Eternal Meek.
Anyway, Ten Desires, Reimu, Hard 1cc.
Now, onto Lunatic!
-
Just captured
Mamizou's survival
in Spell Practice. Unfortunately, it seems that the bug that crashes the game on a regular stage run also applies to Spell Practice, so I couldn't save a replay. :ohdear:
-
Just tried a lunatic ultra run of TD and got to the second spell of the final boss.
This might be doable? I don't know. But I did make a lot of avoidable mistakes and died in stage 1.
EDIT: Captured the final spell on Ultra and it's still not very hard. :V
EDIT:
YESSSSSSS TD Ultra Lunatic 1cc. :D
Pretty good run too. Ended 2/2.
-
Seiga's Overdrive captured. It means I've captured all spellcards, except the extra boss' timeout, but the game crashes anyway. ^^ Btw, I found a patch that sould fix that issue, but I'm not sure it also fixes the stage 4 & 5 spell pratice glitch.
YESSSSSSS TD Ultra Lunatic 1cc. :D
Pretty good run too. Ended 2/2.
Have you saved the replay ? Or will you upload it to youtube ?

1D1B
Miko
Lunatic, finally got to capture Goose Cannon and her last spell. The Ring one is still retarded though.
-
1D1B Miko
Lunatic, finally got to capture Goose Cannon and her last spell. The Ring one is still retarded though.
I wonder if we're really going to start calling it Goose Cannon from now on
Hmm. Should I go for a Lunatic 1cc if I have IN and MoF 1ccs? Granted, those were bomb spammed...
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15279
10D normal 1cc Reimu
Terrible run, but whatever. Final spell is very easy, but I still derped at the last moment and went victory death trance.

THANKS, DONUT.
;)
As for me, I have regained my meaningless bragging rights reward of having captured every lunatic spell card in the series (barring Fairy Wars, but capturing spell cards isn't really the point, and it gives you no stage practice...). Last one was Miko's ring spell card
if anyone was curious.
-
So I went and tried to timeout some stuff that
Miko
(do we still need spoilers?)
I got a timeout and replay of her first six cards (her seventh is too long and boring, but...)
-
I got past ATTWBN, getting Flandre down to about 1 cm of health in Q.E.D. Then I died.
I'm so close to beating her after about 5 months, holy crap.
Also got in two 1ccs of PCB, with Reimu A and B. Finished with two or more lives in stock in both runs c: Now the only characters left are Marisa A and...Sakuya B. I'm wondering if I should just forget that the latter exists since I'm so bad at using her.
-
TD Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15288). Stupid deaths everywhere, and first time I saw the last card. (I hate those stupid glowy bullet hitboxes.)
Maybe I could have captured the survival, but of course I had to bomb it to make the game not crash.
After a little spell practice, most of her cards are pretty easy, as long as you don't mess up. I messed up a lot. :/
Definitely feeling the TD meh.
...Sakuya B.
Hey come on, SakuyaB is one of the best. So is MarisaA.
-
Hey come on, SakuyaB is one of the best. So is MarisaA.
I have no complaints against Marisa A, but Sakuya B's shots are really frustrating for me. I know how they work, but I don't know how to use them to my advantage.

TD Ultra Lunatic 1cc now on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je-mu6z532E)
Also, replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15294)
-
Timed out all of the
Futo's
cards. They were mostly pretty simple but the 1st one was quite fun. I also toyed around with Miko
a bit.
I don't know what to call the 5th spellcard. Guse Flash according to the wiki. I don't know, if its supposed to refer to a goose. If that's the case then I guess a ーafter the Gu would've been appropriate. Whatever, I don't know what a Guse would be but I know for sure that it makes me blind. I've been trying to time it out. That takes three times as long as capturing it approximately and I cannot use Rei's shot as an indicator of my horizontal position like I'd normally do. I'll therefore give it a new name; 癲癇符「さよなら視力」
These glowing balls. Am I the only one who gets some EoSD flashbacks while playing cards with them? Their hitboxes seem to be as big as the sprites. The fact that they glow so brightly doesn't help matters. Its probably her hardest card too.
Also. Now that I'm here, has anyone succeeded in timing out Royal Clans Chaotic Dance on Lunatic? It looks like it could develop into a wall fest but if someone has done it and have saved a replay of it, I would love to see it.
-

The Wiki mentions that it's taken from the Japanese name of some bodhisattva.
Overwhelming shininess or not, who else here thinks that card still looks freakin' amazing?

Well, they have a noticeable glowing border beyond where the hitbox is (as far as I can tell). I suppose you can try to approach them like bubbles when it comes to hitbox size, but of course you'll need to dodge most of the bullet this time.
-
From an aesthetic point of view, the spell looks pretty awesome, I agree. Then again, that goes for a lot of attacks in this game. It seems like there was put a lot heavier focus on aesthetics than difficulty in this years release.
-
Miko's
sixth card timed out on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15296).
Discovering the trick to the lasers hardly helped.
-
Touhou 10D Hard 1cc! With 4 Lives + 1 Bomb left!
Score: 803,274,230
Each point was worth 203,500 at the end.
Practice start and spell practice is so useful. Cannot stress this enough.
-
Oh look, two PCB 1ccs with Sakuya B and Marisa A on my first try. Well, with Marisa A I restarted several times after dying stupidly on stages 1/2 and once I restarted after realising how badly I was doing on stage 4 and that I would never make it. But I didn't get a gameover on any of my tries. I now have Extra unlocked with all the characters. =D
-
<ZengarZombolt> ...
<ZengarZombolt> ...
<ZengarZombolt> ...
<ZengarZombolt> I captured Yuyuko's last spell on ultra
<ZengarZombolt> without moving
Not the overdrive sadly. On that one I died as it was exploding. :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15299
Doesn't work without Ultra patch.
-
Going back to non-Ultra, non-Ten Desires accomplishments for a moment, I've landed another first today: First capture of Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering-, leading to my third 1CC of PCB.
-
Overwhelming shininess or not, who else here thinks that card still looks freakin' amazing?
I thought it was an overly simple pattern at first, but looking at it again, it's really pretty. I especially like the rise in music speed when she does that attack.

TD Ultra Lunatic 1cc now on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je-mu6z532E)
Also, replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15294)
:o
-
I "captured" TD's Extra boss's survival during a serious no-death run.
-
I suspect no-one's going to care since this isn't TD, but hey ho... :)
Third normal 1cc of IN, this time with Scarlet Team.
Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15303).
Definitely not one of my better runs for the most part, and my deep seated hatred of Kaguya continues pretty much unabated. glad to have this out of the way though. Just Magic Team left (yay, more getting raped by Keine...), and then Extra mode, something I suspect I'm going to regret...
-
Also. Now that I'm here, has anyone succeeded in timing out Royal Clans Chaotic Dance on Lunatic? It looks like it could develop into a wall fest but if someone has done it and have saved a replay of it, I would love to see it.
Finished. Uploading in a bit. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfKJ-4A0HHs)
A B
C D
The method I used for the walls was to misdirect the first wave at C, the 2nd wave at D, then move to the top between A and B and draw a straight line down (not very reliable tbh, you can ram into Miko on your way down, in which case you can do it at B, but only if you're quick). Note that if you're at the top left corner by the time the 3rd ring ends (the last ring with "holes"), you'll have an easier time with the next ring (the first wall). In the replay I messed up and had to do the straight line three times.
-

TD extra cleared after a night of hard grinding.
That was freaking ridiculous. If anyone ever bitches about Genetics again after THAT spell, I'll be amazed.

I've been trying to timeout the extra stage's midboss's third spellcard in Ultra mode; so far my best attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15317) (link spoils the boss's identity) has the timer down to 20 seconds. This looks like a tricky misdirection exercise, much in the style of the stage 4 boss's overdrive spellcard, although there are comparatively more random elements. It's great fun though; I'd like to see some other timeout attempts!
-
All TD final boss cards timed out on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7KLuqMEPjc)
-
What spell? The 8th one?
Yeah, the eighth one. One giant clustermess.
-
Yeah, the eighth one. One giant clustermess.
Yeah, it's hard. Here's how I approach it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15328) I still fail it a lot of the time, but I can't think of anything that would make it significantly easier. Key things to note:
- The first time I'm at the right side, I stop just before the edge and wait there until the last moment, when I jump all the way to the edge to make it easy to get through.
- The second time I'm moving to the right, I make sure to stay off the bottom so that I have room to go under the first group of bullets that pass me when I'm going back to the left.
Replay was done with Marisa, who takes the longest on this card. (Her missiles aren't as effective as usual because the boss keeps moving.) This wouldn't work very well if it took 2 more seconds to kill (say if you're not at full power), as the boss moves all the way into the bottom right corner. In that case you could maybe try moving ahead of her and then up to survive a bit longer; you might be able to get a few more seconds under the boss that way. Something along the lines of this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15329).
I wonder how hard this card ultimately is to timeout.
-
You could cheese it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15243)
Hmm. Interesting. Will not use that strategy myself though. That boss doesn't need to get easier.
-
Finally managed to figure out Satori's first Spellcard on Lunatic, no idea if this approach is common, but this puts a big load off my chest. Makes me wonder why it took me so long to figure it out.
Also, found a copy of TD on Mandarake! If my order got through before it sold out, I might be able to play TD much earlier than I had planned, so I'll probably squeeze the Hard Mode between SA and UFO Lunatic, then finish everything with TD Lunatic. Hoping this works out!
-
Capped the TD stage 5 midboss Overdrive spell after applying the new patch.
I have now cleared all of the Overdrive spells and unlocked everything in the game.
Except all the alternate endings.
-
Hurr, timed out the survival. This thing hurts my brain.
-
I wonder how hard this card ultimately is to timeout.
Very easy. Did it on my 2nd no focus attempt :V
Genetics is much harder than this thing.
...although I still have yet to actually beat the Extra stage.

-
I finally confirmed a suitable scoring path through TD Stage 6 with Reimu. Being able to collect enough life parts for that 18 piece Extend is actually a lot more precise than I thought it would be. Now the trick is actually remembering all of this stuff during a full run.
-
I dunno how many people have 1cc'd 10D lunatic already, but I'm plugging away at my own pace and settling into practice mode to hone my skills while waiting for the English patch. I'm starting to get the hang of stage 4, finally beating it without dying. It's much more difficult than I thought it'd be at first...I figure if I give up on trying for the seventh life on the grounds that I'd waste more resources getting it than it'd give me, I think I can begin to formulate a strategy that may pull me through this resource-starved game.

If you can find a way to use Trance on most of the parts with bomb/life fairies, that life is actually more reachable than you think. Then again, you'll probably only reach that last life near the very end of the game, so it may or may not be worth it.

10D Extra clear Reimu
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15347
Blargh 529 attempts, 7hrs. Wow. Can't imagine I pressed restart so many times.
At least I'm getting more comfortable with it, and it's actually fun to play, not agonizing like stage portion of UFO.
The most important thing was resource managing and some luck so no death until the 8th card
Bombed liberally on 6th and 7th card.
Didn't bother to figure out a strategy for that 8th card - basically death tranced right through it and then bomb.
Probably wouldn't even have needed that bomb if I didn't derp the nonspell before and instead died in the middle of the spell.
Dying at the very beginning of the survival was really unexpected, to understate it :V
However, thanks to v1.00c patch, no more need to bomb to prevent crash, leaving plenty resources for last card.
I wonder if it's possible to reach the 12-piece extend...
-
Fairy Wars Ultra is completely ridiculous lol.
C1 1cc. It evens out a bit that you can get a lot more resources with regular freezes of like 97%. :V
-
Been timing out Extra stage spellcards. Why are most of these harder than the Lunatic spells? I did 'desire' for a harder extra boss, and I'll give her this much - she's probably the most fun of the bunch. But really, I didn't want her to be harder than Lunatic. Considering that she's not THAT hard. But apparently a lot of her cards are harder to dodge than what can be found in Stages 4, 5 and 6 on Lunatic. What?
For me, the hardest part of getting the Lunatic clear is finding the motivation to go through the first three stages. Been playing those too much in the trial and they are really boring now. :V
Also. Nice with that patch. How did ZUN miss the detail that the game would crash when clearing the survival spell?
ZUN? You didn't test your game before releasing it did you? Do you ever?

If it means anything, at least I'm ironing out the reasons why I'm not completely refilling my Trance after Kogasa. I kinda have to correctly guess which way she'll go during her Spellcard, but that should be enough. I've also cemented what it takes for Reimu to get full Trance by the end of boss-Kyouko's first card. The fewer screwups in the early portions, the more time I can spend in the later stages, I say.
Wait, is this the first time you've played Fairy Wars?
He's probably just returning to the game. I remember I stopped after getting an A-1 1cc and came back for the rest later.

But I like GFW too... I don't play it that much anymore, but I like it. Best side-game in the series if you ask me.

I honestly don't see how Extra is any harder than Hard.
You bomb when you need to, you trance when you really need a spellcard to die.
First card is streaming-like, second is more streaming, third is fun, fourth dies quickly...
The only troublesome things are her 7th, 8th, and 10th cards. Which is, you know, normal for an Extra boss.

Speaking of which, how hard is her last, exactly ? I always screw up at some point even though it looks disturbingly simple.

I've been getting consistent with it in Spell Practice (have a 10/31~ history, I think). It feels like it's better to misdirect the frog bullets so that you have room to follow the orbs around until you find a gap.
Edit: Have a YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrwWFqK0_HY) if only because it's faster than downloading a replay and starting up the game and stuff.
I would say that it's not manic dodging like QED or Grudge Bow, but it's easy to mess up because of being nicked by an orb...
-
I've been hard at work today learning about the intricacies of each stage. I've managed a no deaths run of stages 1-4, and a one death run of stages 5 and 6. I've still got a ways to go, but by the time the English patch is released I should be raring to go and 1cc lunatic. :D
EDIT: Sanae extra clear. I am pleased to see ZUN's swift patching, and all is once again forgiven. It was nice for the game to not crash at the survival card. Only character left is Youmu, who I oddly enough haven't unlocked extra with yet (used her to beat easy mode for spell practice purposes).
-

Well yeah. I guess so.
I honestly don't see how Extra is any harder than Hard.
You bomb when you need to, you trance when you really need a spellcard to die.
Yes. If you allow bombing and trancing Extra becomes easy as always. Perfecting it however is likely more difficult than perfecting most Lunatic stages in the game.
Too busy making Touhou 14.
Yeah right. He probably starts up production around February, releases a demo in March and the full game in August. With huge room for booze breaks included.

As long as its not a clear Lunatic in two attempts game focused around cancelling out bullets that couldn't have been dodged normally then sure. :V
Okay, enough picking on the fairies. I don't think there will be more than one spin-off between Touhou 13 and 14. Last time was three spin-offs. One of which was Double Spoiler. There isn't enough new characters to justify making a third photography game yet. As for fighters, we just had one. So I don't think its likely that another one will be released anytime soon.
However, I would be an idiot if I thought myself capable of predict what ZUN's going to do. After all, I only drink at parties as opposed to being allergic to non-alcoholic beverages.
But really, just spread out over the internet and make discussions about a hundred different kinds of spin-offs. ZUN always does the opposite of what people theorize so perhabs manipulating the man into making 14 next year is possible. :)

Not sure what the confusion here is about but I just said that I did an Ultra 1cc of the game.
I had beaten everything normal and shit when the game came out.

Perfect Imperishable Night Stage 1 on Hard, including the Last Spell. Yeah, it's only the first stage but it's still something to me.

TD Extra clear. Woop. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15395)
-
Passed the end-stage portion of Stage 5 Lunatic in Ten Desires on my 2nd attempt. WIthout bombs or trances that is. It didn't seem too bad to be honest. The midboss spell is pretty annoying though. Thank goodness for spell practice so I can learn the pattern of it. Or at least figure out a way to approach it.
What other news? That I managed to cock up perfect runs of Futo on the 2nd spell and on some of her non-spells? That's hardly good news. Perfecting her doesn't mean anything unless it happens on top of a perfect stage run anyways. I'll be back for her when I'm less sleepy.
-
Stage 5 no deaths. I'm gettin' there. /o/
EDIT: Stage 6 no deaths. Yah ho~ Now once I get serious I just need to piece all these individual runs together, and...!
-
1cc. Yes, it was Easy, but this is the first time I've 1cc'd or even cleared a Touhou game in almost two years.
-
Minor one, but I had probably the best run of MoF Normal I've had since...well, ever. Ended it with six lives to spare and 5.00 power. Only deaths came at Aya's first spell and at Rice Porridge in Tube, and I had at least three bombs in stock when both of those happened. I think I might be ready to seriously attempt a no-death MoF Normal now. ^_^
-
First capture of the final Extra card. It seems pretty easy but to do it as fast as possible might be annoying.

Then, uh, don't aim for a speedkill? If you're going for a perfect, it might be better to play it safer.
I got to Stupid Shrine Maiden in a no-death attempt with 4 bombs and then I ran into a frog... But it's progress.
-
10D normal 1cc and EoSD normal 1cc. Left PCB and SA to clear on normal. :3

Now that I have practiced it a bit more, It might actually be easier to speed kill it than simply capturing it normally. The biggest danger for me is to avoid the big bullets. Yes. I am serious. I keep reading those things as were they just glowy metal fatigue bullets. But they aren't. They are much bigger than them.
Also. I think that if you hug the sides of the screen, you'll never hit a frog.
-
So I got a Lunatic 1cc and Extra Clear in TD today. That didn't take long at all lol. It usually takes me forever to actually 1cc Lunatic clear any Touhou game nowadays. Then again TD is pretty goddamn easy compared to the rest of the games. I honestly thought I was gonna fuck up on Miko alot but looks like I had the best run I ever had against here which is nice I guess. Still don't like her as a boss cause she's so goddamn underwhelming compared to the other final bosses.
As for the extra stage,the stage is kinda boring and too easy(kinda wish it was like UFO stage portion which was fun) though the Nue midboss and the hipster racoon loli was fun as hell so I guess that made up for it. Still a pretty good game but I still find UFO and SA much better games overall.
-
While doing a casual Soku arcade run, I managed to land Yukari smack in the middle of my Fantasy Heaven, so that EVERYTHING hit. Of course, it never went past 14830 damage due to proration, but YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.
(it's obviously been done before, countless times, by other people, but it's still an accomplishment for me :V )
-
I gave Extra another try on Imperishable Night and I got to Hollow Giant "Woo" this time. I still need more practice, but I definitely am getting farther now. :3
-
1cc'd Ten Desires on third try with Reimu, le yay.
Also, Miko is my fave touhou right now, I'm sorry Youmu, but you've finally been beaten.
You're still my number 2 though.
-
Phantasm Completion II: The Return of Yukari's Defeat
Notable this time because this is after my Touhou hiatus, and therefore, after 88 retries.
I forgot how to do the final to Danmaku Bounded Field though :(
-
Hahaha oh wow. There's just so much shit happening on the screen in the extra survival of TD on Ultra that the game just outright crashed. 24 of a kind or something. :V
The stage is crazy fun though, I love what it did to the nonspells.
-
Well, nothing MAJOR, but...
Now have 2 characters available for Phantasm(SakuB who I got first, then more recently reimuB, who only took 17 attempts to get compared to the WAY-TOO-MANY for Sakuya.)
Also, cleared Hard PCB for the first time(5cc, but either way, I got TO the ending, which is the biggest thing, so now if I want I can practice there...)
During the run, capped Lyrica's solo spell on my second time seeing it(SO much easier than her Normal one, ugh.), as well as managing to first-try capture Resurrection Butterfly -50% Reflowering-, so I was pretty happy, all things considered.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15438
Ten Desires 1cc on Normal with Reimu. Got to the final boss at 5/1, then proceeded to die 3 times during the fight...all due to stupid mistakes I made, meaning I finished 2/0.
On the plus side, I captured her final card. Feel pretty happy about that.
-
Finally captured Toyosatomimi's 6th Spell on Lunatic:
http://gensokyo.org/replays/download.php?id=15399

Tried a random full stage pacifist of MoF Stage 6 Lunatic. Lose my last life on VoWG at 36 seconds left. It's a sucky run, died 3 times on the 3rd nonspell.
-
th13 All character clear on Easy, Normal, and Extra.
What should I do? Beat th13 Hard or beat th12 Hard with MarisaA?
-
Yay!! My first Lunatic 1cc: Imperishable Night!!
-
So the TD Ultra patch just got an update for the 1.00c version.
...and it completely rapes my shit. :V
Jesus, this is like twice as hard now.
I also noticed something strange. The pacing of the game seems all off, the music when you get to midbosses is way behind than that you're used to.
The game is now a lot more like a... manic shmup.
Yay!! My first Lunatic 1cc: Imperishable Night!!

I can't tell if this is a failure or not, so I'm posting this here.

Here's a screenshot of what was my highscore:

There's the Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15455)
-
o_o
Yes...
YES.
I perfected her.
After trying off and on all year, I've finally perfected Sakuya! HA HA HAAAAA~!
It was a freakish run. I made some tight squeezes in the opener, had such a bad deal in Jack the Ludo Bile I had to dodge the opposite direction...the worst was her second non-spell. I got into no less than five walled situations that only my special brand of drunken dodging could dodge, and it was very lucky at that. Then I took a huuuuge risk in ZA WARUDO and stayed under her, just barely clearing before getting ganked. After a relatively uneventful third non-spell (if it counts, my sister came to bother me to look at her nails during this before I shooed her without looking), there was only one last spell card.
But of course, even a miraculous run such as this was only a speck of sand on the beach of runs that had come this far and failed. Not that I could count, but I think no less than 15 runs have failed on Killing Doll, that worst of all spell cards. One such run immediately preceded this one actually. But, during that, I did a strange dodge where before the time stop, I prematurely dashed left. This somehow lowered the knife density by a lot. I O_O'd, tried again, and...and...it was working! Wave after wave I successfully dodged.
But, time was running out. I was willing to win a perfect via timeout, but it seems fate finally played fair, for at six seconds left on the clock I gunned for it, stayed stubbornly under her during a light wave, and...and...
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2ur5d6t.png)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Those two bombs were during the stage because I get so bored I mess around to train my death-bombing reflex
It's over...
I never have to play that boring stage in stage practice again...
I never have to look at Sakuya's stupid face again...
I never have to feel compelled to capture Killing Doll at max rank again...
It's over...it's over...IT'S OVERRRRRRR! 8D
-
Hahaha, okay. Now do Shou and become a real man! :D
Really though. Congratulations with that perfect run. Sakuya's final spell can become quite a bitch. Nice one.

Hmm, deathbombing lowers the rank by quite a bit in EoSD doesn't it?
No but seriously, congrats! :V
That Killing Doll trick might be worth investigating.

Time to post a bunch of achievements I got.
Firstly, my first MoF normal 1cc, including a capture of Miracle of Otensui for the first time (the arrow bullets always screwed me up before). Was a no death run until stage 5 boss, then derped a lot on stage 6 and boss but made it out with 4 lives in stock. Now on the 6th spell of extra, whenever I don't screw up badly on Two Bows, Two Claps, One Bow.
Next, TD normal 1cc, not much of an achievement seeing how easy TD is. I've also captured all the normal cards except the last one.
I also decided to try PCB hard one day and got to Yuyuko without continuing, though I was really close to that on the Prismrivers (0 lives and bombs at the beginning of Stygian Riverside till sometime in stage 5). Captured all cards till Alice's boss battle, then captured Storybook of the Gaki Realm, Seven Sins, and Resurrection Butterfly, as well as some others.
Finally my first default lives EoSD 1cc, after a long time of not playing EoSD or one or two practice mode stages. EoSD extra is on Catadioptric now.

-
Hmm, deathbombing lowers the rank by quite a bit in EoSD doesn't it?
People say this, but I've never seen it lower rank. Even if it did, Sakuya's fight is strangely balanced where it's just as difficult to perfect at lower ranks. While Killing Doll is easier, yes, many of her attacks are actually made harder by the fact that the bullet walls don't spread out (just compare her opener at max rank to her opener at minimum rank). Even on the rare occasions I did make it to Killing Doll at lower rank, the rank picks up quite a bit by that point and it's still difficult. X(
EDIT: For those interested, it just hit me why my trick on Killing Doll works. Though the attack is infamously random, one part is aimed: The red knives. These thick set of knives that are especially vicious are actually aimed at your position. Since not all knives are tilted during the time stop, this makes wherever they are aimed a virtual death zone. So by alternating between moving to the sides and moving back center, you can decrease the knife density you have to face significantly by avoiding this set of knives.
How I failed to notice this after over a hundred playthroughs I'll never know. It just goes to show that there are always ways to improve your technique.

I think I can begin to formulate a strategy that may pull me through this resource-starved game.
-
Got my 4th IN Normal 1cc, with Magic Team, so I'm done with that now.
Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15491).
Now to decide what to tackle next. I'd originally planned to go on to Extra, but after watching a few replays and making a few attempts, I'm not so sure I'm even capable of clearing Extra right now, so maybe I'd be better off scrapping that part of my plan for now and moving onto another game, more than likely EoSD and trying to 1cc normal on that.
-
I have now made runs of Stage 3, 5 and 6 in TD Lunatic. All of them with only one spell failed. The final spell in Stage 3, the 2nd spell in Stage 5 and the 3rd spell in Stage 6. I don't feel motivated to play this game any longer though. As much as I like the new characters, the game has seriously lost its lasting appeal for me. Every time I mess up its unusually frustrating and whenever I'm doing fine, which is most of the time, It just feels as if its because the game is easy and not because I am good. And that really ruins a lot of the fun of playing a shooter imo. You are supposed to feel like a badass. And you do feel like the king of the world when you get an awesome Byakuren run but a good TD Stage 6 run just feels like a matter of course.
And then there is the thing about the stages making the stages in UFO feel bloody awesome. So... eh, to sum this up: I too am starting to feel the TD meh. So much even that I might not want to 1cc Lunatic at all. I don't have anything to prove by doing so and the game is not fun any longer. :(
-
I captured Red Magic for the first time =D
I didn't even mean to - it just sorta happened. I had 3 bombs in stock and there wasn't a moment in the entire card where I felt I would have to use one.

Chalk up a second Extra clear for me!
Scarlet Lunatic - Sister of Scarlet cleared. Flandre Scarlet beaten with MarisaA. Card captures include Cranberry Trap, L?vatein, Four of a Kind, Kagome Kagome, Starbow Break, and Catadioptric.
Why, yes, I'm still shaking as I type this. This was a very... inelegant victory but I finally did it, after a month of frustration! Replay link will be made available... now.

...I....I just....
I FINALLY BEAT FLANDRE!!!
YEEEESSSSS!!!!
Take that, you insane, childish sister of the devil!
-
Well done. :) She was one of the tougher Extra bosses for me.

Flandre looks really fun from the replays I've seen. I can't wait to face her.
Of course, first I'd have to 1CC Normal, which invariably means getting vsync working because the input lag makes the game basically unplayable (and this is coming from someone who has a no-death PCB Phantasm without vsync).
Oh right, accomplishments, where was I...oh, right.
Mountain of Faith Normal 1CC no deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15521)
FUCK YES.
-
Seiga perfect! Not going to bother with the replay since it wasn't really that spectacular (Seiga is only really cool to watch visually when you do her wrong), but an accomplishment nonetheless!

All my EoSD 1ccs and Extra clears were without Vsync patch. My No Death Phantasm and Lunatic 1cc was v-sync.
Since I plan to get back to EoSD sometime, I need to get Vsync working on it.
-
Ha. Would you look at that. Just as I was starting to hate Touhou due to some TD-related thing I got back into playing Mountain of Faith for the first time in way too long. I don't even think I played MoF for the entire summer vacation. It was mainly UFO, SA and some other non-shmup games.
Not only do I make a flawless run of Stage 4, including Momiji who i'm generally pretty bad at and also a semi-perfect Aya run. I call it semi-perfect because I did get hit and her 2nd non-spell. That one is normally pretty easy but the absence had made me forget how exactly to dodge it. Aya is so damn awesome. Why can't Seiga be something like that? You know, instead of making Cirno look like a hardcore Ura loop badass?
Seiga perfect! Not going to bother with the replay since it wasn't really that spectacular (Seiga is only really cool to watch visually when you do her wrong), but an accomplishment nonetheless!
Great. Now go perfect the midboss. She is quite a lot harder than Seiga. ;)
-
10D Lunatic 1cc, on my first try (I seriously have either a 1/1 or 0/1 history for the spells).
Um, I don't know if it's something to be proud of, considering I literally bombed/tranced/died to every boss pattern from the stage 4 boss on.

Ha. Would you look at that. Just as I was starting to hate Touhou due to some TD-related thing
Ha, and I was just starting to like it. Thanks to the toned down difficulty, I could finally get into scoring

I don't remember if life/bomb fragment numbers change with difficulty, though you don't actually need Sanae to reach the 18-piece Extend on Lunatic at least. It just takes making sure you Trance as many spots with life pieces as possible. I wonder what the theoretical upper limit is for that counter though? I bet the 20-piece Extend is unreachable, but I'd love to see someone prove me wrong.

I doubt that it's possible, unless you somehow manage to trance after every spell. Even then, spellcards only drop one life spirit, so you'd have to trance about ~17~ more spells than I did in my 1cc.
Granted, I chose to trance the 12 bomb fragments in stage six over the four life pieces, but hey, 3 bombs > half a life.

Lunatic just drops a lot more spirits. On Normal I could barely trance the first midboss if I pointblank-bombed it with Sanae (and I still had to carefully grab a couple gray spirits after it explodes :V). On Lunatic I usually have the gauge filled by the time it spawns familiars.
-
Easy and Normal enemies drop half as many blue spirits as Hard and Lunatic, or at least the opening fairies in Stage 1 do (don't quote me on this! Personal, anecdotal contribution here).
And because grey spirits appear based on how many blue spirits appear in a window of time...
Also, I can get a full trance before I hit the first midboss (Hard/Lunatic).
-
Ha, and I was just starting to like it. Thanks to the toned down difficulty, I could finally get into scoring
because I'd be too busy staying alive otherwise.
Score in MoF. You don't have to go out of the way for the points as the good scores are rewarded for exceptional survival play. I could never get into scoring in this however. I want to score in difficult games. Its obvious that hard part about scoring in TD is memorizing where and how to use your resources.
Are you implying Seiga is not fun to play against >:D
Let us break her down shall we? Her non-spells are all really easy. The 1st spellcard is beyond easy. Just don't shoot Yoshika and you'll be fine. The 2nd spellcard simply takes you knowing the trick to it and that too becomes easy. The 3rd card is not hard either. She is also a pretty lazy stage 4 boss. Nothing different between characters, no survival card - thankfully enough - and worst of all, easier than the Stage 2 and 3 boss.
I perfected Stage 4 in two attempts at the boss. You'd guess that a boss who can throw thunder at you would be awesome but not really. Its like, once you hit Stage 3 - the game just stops getting harder from then on. Unlike things like SA where the first three stages are pathetic compared ot stages 4,5 and 6.
but the midboss is also Seiga ?
You got me there. :) - Her attack is pretty fun to dodge though. At least in my opinion. The spellcard is beyond trivial though.
-
Bahaha, on a silly screwaroundlikeidontevencareifidie Lunatic run, the fairies are shitting out spirits like crazy.
I can probably get in 3 Trances in the entire Stage 1. (one before midboss, one for the first card, one for the third card)
-
Its obvious that hard part about scoring in TD is memorizing where and how to use your resources.
It's pretty dynamic as there's no guaranteeing you will reach the bunch of resource enemies with enough Trance.
The game is still piss easy to memorize though :V
Her non-spells are all really easy.
easier than the Stage 2 and 3 boss.
The spellcard is beyond trivial though.
yeah except I have trouble with all of them
-
Hey now, when did "easy" become an antonym to "fun?" Seiga may not be as punishing as Murasa, but she's still my favorite fight in the game. All of her attacks (with the exception of the second imo) are a lot of fun and have a good feel to them. Plus, DAT THEME.
-
It's pretty dynamic as there's no guaranteeing you will reach the bunch of resource enemies with enough Trance.
I would think that almost every step through the game should pretty repeatable. The thing is some shottypes (read: Marisa) have a much easier time actually doing this.
-
Hey now, when did "easy" become an antonym to "fun?"
When you play on lunatic mode, you're not looking for "easy." You're looking for "fun."
Seiga may not be as punishing as Murasa, but she's still my favorite fight in the game.
Murasa used to be the easiest Stage 4 boss...

Uhmm, yeah. The thing I meant was actually remembering how to make sure you have the trances. Memorizing the good spots to use the trances is of course easy.
yeah except I have trouble with all of them
But she is the easiest Stage 4 boss in the entire series. Why are you not as awesome as I am? - Ahem... eh, yeah. You could take Murasa. You can take Seiga too. Your problems will disappear soon.
Murasa used to be the easiest Stage 4 boss...
Personally I'd say that Marisa and The Prismrivers are a hell of a lot easier. Yukari Satori too actually.
Hey now, when did "easy" become an antonym to "fun?"
It isn't necessarily. Games like Half LIfe and Mass Effect 2 are fun even if they are easy, despite being at their highest difficulty settings. However, Touhou is a bullet hell game. Its about shooting things and picking stuff up. Not getting hit in the process. This kind of gameplay would be incredibly repetitive and boring if it wasn't for the high difficulty and varied patterns as well as the demanding score systems.
When you remove the difficulty and give the bosses a handful of uninspired and lazily designed spellcards you get something that simply isn't fun. The only thing that's left is a score system that rewards you for not even fighting the bosses. Isn't that just amazing?
-
Scarlet Meister Normal 1cc.
Fucking hell that was difficult. :V
Stage 5 destroyed me as usual.
...but why did that not unlock the Extra stage? I know there's an Extra stage dammit.
-
Wow, congrats for the Scarlet Meister 1cc! Do you think any difficulty higher than Normal is sane to even attempt to beat? :)
-
Oh you were talking about that Scarlet Meister. I thought it was weird when you mentioned the game in the Rage thread. :)
Well, as far as I could see from watching videos you deserve some major kudos for having beaten it.
-
Oh derp, old version. Ex is unlocked now. :derp:
Also, thanks guys. :D
Do you think any difficulty higher than Normal is sane to even attempt to beat? :)
I don't know as I haven't played them much, but from what I've seen from videos it looks very learnable.
EDIT:
oh my god flandre's opener what the hell is this shit AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
EDIT:
oh hai maze of love
-
Obligatory make vids.
Still not really playing Touhou at the moment. When I get back to it, it'll mostly be EoSD Lunatic though for a while. I'd like to explore the scoring some more in it. I would definitely need to watch replays to learn stuff like the Daiyousei trick, How to properly do the bomb grazing Meiling and maybe other spots, the Stage 5 Sakuya Graze trick, Eternal Meek safespotting, this Scarlet Gensokyo trick, and maybe some others as well as best spots to bomb and die for score. I do not know how much of it, I'd actually be able to do until I see and try it though. Plus, I do not know how much of it is applicable with MarisA. I don't know which of the tricks are doable with her and which can't. But I'd have to watch stuff and try them out first.

20 fragments (http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/298021_1731606670336_1843603191_1167114_6658201_n.jpg). Is it possible to go higher in Lunatic ?
...you know, all this time I thought you meant you collected 20 life fragments. So I sort of went and did this for nothing, but it's good because I never actually did it before, and I always thought "well okay according to this other run I just have to die here and there somewhere and something will happen."
So here's a no-miss version and a 20(25?)-piece version (http://i.imgur.com/wbwzR.jpg) from Marisa (surprise, surprise). The no-miss could go for at least 12/20 since I didn't trance the part before the final boss nor did I trance during the final boss. And maybe a little more. I think I messed up the stage five midboss.
-
Why with Marisa ? Doesn't Sanae get more trances ?
-
Murasa used to be the easiest Stage 4 boss...
I was about to correct this until I realised that every stage 4 boss in the series is an utter bitch.
-
I can no longer say I've yet to clear Ten Desires (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15558)
-
Minor one, but ah well, I think I can finally say I don't suck at Miko.
Attempted to 1CC with Marisa, did pretty damn bad up to that point, entered the fight with two lives one bomb, thinking I'm screwed...
...proceed to see Miko's boss explosion with three lives one bomb. And I didn't collect enough green spirits for a bomb extend during the fight.
-
Second nue spell captured on top of her without focus (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15577)
I tried to time it out (70sec) while grazing, but only got to 31 seconds :fail:
-
Scarlet Meister Normal 1cc vid. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQd4nHuopLY)
Also fuck this Extra stage. :colonveeplusalpha:
That opener wouldn't be nearly as hard if those knives weren't so tiny and blending in with the background so much.
-
I finally worked up the motivation to 1cc PCB lunatic with the last remaining shot type: Reimu A. Reimu A and I have some irreconcilable differences, but I still cleared 4/2.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15585
-
Captured "Mountain of Faith"! Had no lives left too which made it all the sweeter.
-
Okay, managed to get to Flandre's Counter Clock card this time. I'm also getting used to her opener now, it's not that bad anymore.
Laevateinn is complete bullshit though. If you don't get the hyper before her first swing you're pretty much fucked. Bombs obscure the laser and can kill you instantly when the bomb ends. Not to mention that she moves randomly around.
EDIT:
Oh and fuck Cranberry Trap. Major hyper cockblocking all the time.
-
1cc of UFO Normal with Reimu A. Dat life gaining system for the win.
-
My first 1cc lunatic of 10d. There's some good and a lotta bad :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15591
-
1CC of Ten Desires Normal with Youmu.
(yes I know I suck, TIME FOR EXTRA~!)
EDIT: Cleared Extra after one genuine game-over and several derp first-wave restarts. That was a little too easy, but DANG THAT WAS TOO FUN
-
Ten Desires hard 1cc with Reimu. About freaking time.
-
All Last Words cleared :3
-
Desire Sign "Score Desire Eater" Lunatic captured (with Reimu).
Only took me 144 attempts...
-
Mountain of Faith Extra Cleared with 369mil points! Still fudged up Jade of the Horrid River but I'm getting the hang of it. Red Frog was screwed up because I forgot it was coming. Two extras down, four to go, two to unlock!
-
(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/Arcengal/history.jpg)
Saw Gauss Cannon Lunatic for the first time this morning, just captured it twice in a row. But yeah, the history is awful.
-
I thought I wasn't going to 1cc Ten Desires until the English patch came out. ???
Ah well, that's the way it goes. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15617)
Can you tell I completely lost my cool on Miko? :B
-
PCB 1cc Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15620)
I was going to capture Components of Konpaku but i had to pause the game so i lost my rhythm :V
-
On something not 10D related, I 1cc'd UFO Hard with SanaeA.
The run went downhill really quickly when I died to Byakuren's opener...
But I always seem to capture Radiant Treasure Gun in these runs...
-
I just captured Mishaguji-sama for the first time ever...
...while attempting my first ever no-death MoF Extra. YES. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15624)
-
IN 1cc Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15626)
First try too! :D (all that PCB suffering-practice made me a lot bettter)
Too bad i failed hard at Kaguya
I just captured Mishaguji-sama for the first time ever...
...while attempting my first ever no-death MoF Extra. YES.
Good job, that card looks easy (and it is) but i have a really hard time with it so congratulations!

-
Legendary Dream Vine Lunatic capture. Wasn't intending to, it just sorta happened.
-
In a 48 hour span, clearing Ten Desires, Subterranean Animism and Undefined Fantastic Object on normal. Without focus.
-
TD hard 1cc, finished with 4 lives or something. Unnaturally easy =/. Lunatic is giving me hell though, I'm not used to point-blanking in that kind of density, so it's hard to fill up my trance gauge...
-
Whee, only bombed once on Hard Scarlet Gensokyo. I've already captured Red Magic so I'm wondering if I could go for a capture with this card too..
-
There are some who say Scarlet Gensokyo Hard is easier than Red Magic.
But then there are people who say the Earth is flat.
(Yes, go for it, it's not that bad compared to the insanity of the Lunatic version)
-
Today marks a good day - to go along with the three 1CCs of Phantasmagoria of Flower View earlier in the week (with Lyrica, Aya, and Medicine), I've finally managed to fully complete PoFV's story, unlocking Merlin and Lunasa for Match play.
Komachi's Extra was frustrating, Shiki's less-so. Except for that match against Aya in Stage 7. Multiples of her EX-Shot? Scary as all hell.
-
Finally* 1cced Ten Desires on hard mode. I had 13/15 of a life and 1 6/8 of a bomb going into Miko's 5th spell. It was intense, with capturing the 5th, 1 bombing the 6th with a lot of epic dodges, giving me a life and a bomb for the final spell. I finished 0/0 by bombing after clearing to avoid dying after clearing. I was NOT about to fail there.
*5 tries.
-
Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance lunatic timed out.
So many attempts, either I get rammed by Miko, or I failed to dodge an arrow somehow, even though there is quite a bit of room.
-
I tried UFO Extra Ultra and cleared it. It was fun enough but some spells seemed to have been completely forgotten as they weren't harder than their original counterparts. The one with the lasers that turn into bullets and then switches places with each other was as easy as the original was. Grudge Bow was also disappointingly easy. But I had a fun time anyway.
Oh and Ultra Kogasa seemingly removes the safespot on PSM. What a cute touch. She also makes the 2nd boss non-spell a complete what the fuck. The other spellcards seems capturable though. Haven't done it yet though.
-
I found almost no differences on Nue Ultra fight sadly, only kogasa and the stage and it wasn't THAT hard, but i do have to admit that i was too close for comfort on midboss kogasa first spellcard
-
"Perfect" stage 6 practice run of ten desires, normal mode. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15684)
By "Perfect" I mean "Exactly as planned, no problems encountered, perfect for both scotring as well as survival"
Total of 4 Trances activated, 2 during the stage, third during the third spellcard and final on the last one.
2 bombs used, one on the third non-spell and the other one on the final spellcard.
No lives lost.
I'm actually quite proud of this.
-
Yess, PBC 1cc with default lives, finally. Finished it with a capture of Ressurection Butterfly, which was cool.
-

-

The only thing that doesn't seem doable is the 2nd non-spell. The attack kills me before I even start to see a pattern to it. :)
I have capped the 2nd spell but not the 3rd one.
And what do you know, the Ultra version of the stage is what the stage should've been in the first place. It has some actual gameplay. The midboss card is annoying though. It will teach me not to whine about Midboss Kogasa's regular Lunatic card anyway.
-
Fujiyama Volcano timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15696)
Took me 10 tries.
EDIT: And why not add a no-horizontal capture of Unseasonal Butterfly Storm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15697) that only took me four.
-
I think the best I've managed is...(Assume these are all on Normal mode unless I say something :x )
1CC EoSD- After 5,000,000 times of being murdered by Sakuya and Patchy >x>
1CC PCB- <3
1CC Mountain of Faith- I will never go against Mountain of Faith ever again >_> EVER >_>
The first five Touhou games I've 1CC'ed...
Phantasmagoria of Flower View- 1CC'ed on Hard
And my favorite two-
Beat PCB Extra Stage with no lives/one bomb left...
Beat PCB Phantasm with 2 lives, 1 bomb left. -Cried tears of joy here-
I have the replays, but I doubt they're really worth watching ^^;
-
FUCK YES.
Timed out Everlasting "Phoenix's Tail". (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15704)
-
YES FUCK.
When I learn to use the focus button I think I can finally get an easymode 1CC!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15706)
-
I'm not sure if I can exactly call it my "greatest accomplishment yet", but, today, I have finally beaten Perfect Cherry Blossom's Phantasm stage. I don't quite have the hang of Danmaku Bounded Field, but at the very least I passed two out of the five waves - the third and last ones.
If I hadn't been slightly stupid, I probably would've even captured Boundary of Humans and Youkai. Replay will be uploaded and posted after dinner.

Upload it.
EDIT: MoF Extra Ultra clear. Won with 1 life in stock and 3 bombs. This was fun even if Suwako's spells sometimes went into the realms of "what the fuck am I supposed to do about this you little slut?" but other cards received a totally fair make over.
PS: Enigma, I totally expect you to pull this off soon as well.

Oh... Wow. I find that one hard enough on the regular lunatic. And on ULTRA? Hard stuff, huh?
Yeah, galdly waitin' for the replay.
Congraz n' cheers.
-
MoF Ultra Extra clear.
Not as good though. I could have finished with a life in stock but I died.
What's your list of fair/unfair stuff for Ultra Suwako?
Fair:
All nonspells
All spells up to Snake Eats the Croaking Frog(even if the second one really really sucks)
All spells past that until Froggy
Maybe Red Frog
Suwa War
Mishaguji-sama
Unfair-
Suwako first card if you don't start above her on the opener
Second Suwako card with Marisa(did the clear with Reimu)
Snake Eats the Croaking Frog
Froggy Braves the Elements
Maybe Red Frog
-
Finally 1cc'd EoSD Normal. Flandre, here I come!
-
Fair and unfair stuff.
Kanako's first non-spell and spellcard are both trivial.
The 2nd card seems to require some pretty specific movement but should be possible.
The 3rd card seems fair but I haven't capped it yet.
Suwako. Her non-spells are generally fair but the one with the zigzagging seems to create walls. Unless there is something I'm missing.
1st spellcard is fair, even without the glitch. 2nd one is possible but I'd still call it pixel perfect bullshit. Iron Rings, fair enough. I think the timing is a little different but its not hard. Horrid River is just fine. Croak Frog seems like total garbage. Seven Stones is fine. Froggy is totally impossible. Native God. Perhabs. I don't know, with practice maybe. Suwa War is good. Mishaguji-sama, doable but it turns into a contest of precision tapping rather than dodging skill at the end.
Overall, I like the make over. Certain things could've been done better.

-
Very nice! UFO Ultra is in my opinion the hardest Ultra, although I was probably doing it wrong by not using SanaeB.
I decided I wanted to use Sanae B's spread for parts like pretty much all of stage 4, end stage 5 and Nue as well as abuse her shotgun damage, rather than use Reimu A's superior overall boss killing damage and useful hitbox. It's a pretty close payoff, and mostly comes down to being more comfortable with handling bosses (Sanae B pick) or stages (Reimu A pick).
Also, that description looks very familiar for some reason. :V
...I don't know what you're talking about...
-
Just managed the full set of Ten Desires lunatic captures. Most attempts for any 1 spell was 60 or so for Yoshika's last spell, most annoying luck based BS spell was Miko's 6th spell, most disappointingly easy spell was Miko's 7th spell. 5 tries for normal version, 3 for hard version, 3 for lunatic version.
I would have the overdrives unlocked if I would just bother to go through easy mode.
-
I decided to take a break from getting more normal 1CCs to try playing lunatic, with continues of course.
IN - whatthefudgeisthis*dies*. Reaches 5.30 at the end of stage 5, capturing Invisible Full Moon and a bunch of easier cards
TD - *keeps blundering and forgetting to bomb* fudge this
MoF - Can't get past stage 1
Then PCB, where I capture freaking Components of Konpaku, ending with defeating Yuyuko with 1 continue to spare!
And I'm a guy who plays normal.
Why do people consider IN the easiest Touhou game, the patterns I find are much harder than PCB, and the last spell system eats up your bombs very fast anyway, and PCB's borders add additional safety. It's only the easiest Touhou game on easy mode.

That's... Well, IN gives you a SPELL PRACTICE so you don't need to actually rush trough full stages in practice modo just to learn one single card off that stage.
Also, IN gives you a shitload of bombs in several points, (like... really), and the fact that there are lots of easilly found safespots. For lunatic modo, Kaguya tends to be somewhat of a joke. And, IF you use the extra lives IN throws at you, it's basically a 1CC without even capturing any cards. I think it's possible to do that.
Also, Last Spells don't eat bombs, do they?

Your own last spells, you know, the upgraded deathbombs.
IN stages are really good at screen clutter too.

Kaguya

I can't be the only one who thinks Byakuren is a joke compared to her.

how is Kaguya a joke ??? yuyuko is way easier than her
and IN is easy because lolstage5
-
... And Spell Practice is why half of the game is luckshit and the other half is lolfixedpatterns ?
Some of them are fixed. Most of the stuff is perfectly doable without memo though. That doesn't mean there isn't a good deal of crap cards but whatever.
I can't be the only one who thinks Byakuren is a joke compared to her.
I would not call Byakuren a joke but at least her challenge stems from properly made spellcards that doesn't have lasers that with fucked up hitboxes and a memorization based final spell.
I decided to take a break from getting more normal 1CCs to try playing lunatic, with continues of course.
Great! Keep it up!
-
... And Spell Practice is why half of the game is luckshit and the other half is lolfixedpatterns ?
I can't be the only one who thinks Byakuren is a joke compared to her.
O_o Byakuren a joke.... Uhh?
Ohwell, I've run into this before. Different people find different stuff easy, I myself find Kaguya easier than Eirin, for example. The only actually bitchy cards Kaguya had were the 1st and the last one, with the latter one just needing some learning. And the learning was easier to do in Spell Practice than stage practice. :| The first spell is safespottable with some luck and manouvering, but I myself rarely use safespots, especially if I'm going for a 1CC run.
About luckshit.... Well, I dunno. Sometimes when you play IN it feels that half of the time you're lucky and half of the time you have to dodge some hellish walling just to run into another wall. Knowing the correct moment to destroy timeorb spawnin' enemies helps aswell, but in my opinion, it wasn't really hard to realize the correct moment to shoot the fairies down.

It took me ten minutes to close my gaping mouth after that video had ended. What the hell man. That's... just godlike.
I myself found practicin' Scarlet Gensokyo boring and decided to do something more refreshing.
Like playing EoSD normal.

Typical
NB Practice run. Maybe I just happen to suck at all the pre-MoF bosses, but Brilliant Jewel, the other Jewel and LSI are sudden walls, and the other two require retardedly precise timing ...
Captured Half Past 2 and Rising World, which somehow magically netted me a score around 120m higher than my previous high (and I failed nearly everything before that to boot). ZUNscoring.
-
I seem to be getting a little better with Imperishable Night's Extra. I got to Everlasting "Phoenix's Tail". I tried it out in Spell Practice and caught it after only a couple tries. It seems to be kind of easy.

Hey hey, don't be like that. If it took you time and effort, it's an accomplishment and you should be proud of it!
I've noticed this kind of thing has been happening pretty often lately. Other players doing something more difficult should be seen as inspiration for future goals rather than something that overshadows whatever you've currently accomplished - everyone starts with easier stuff, of course. It's a much better frame of mind to be happy with what you've done and look ahead, rather than not being happy because you're not there yet.
Above all, brag more! :V

Exactly. When I see an insane clear (e.g. Naut's UFO ultra), I go "wow, this guy is AWESOME, I'll probably never be able to do that but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try." and go back to practicing.
Speaking of practicing, after 321 (284 Reimu, 37 Youmu) attempts I finally captured Seiga's overdrive. Nothing else took more than 75 tries, nothing else took more than 25 aside from Yoshika's last spell on lunatic, which took sixty something.
With that, I captured every spell in Ten Desires. Disappointingly easy after Imperishable Night (although Seiga's overdrive took more tries than any other spell in any of the games so far, beating 281 for Fantasy Heaven).
Also Lotus Land Story no focus normal run with 3 (4? got another after Yuka ended) lives to spare.
-
Managed 644m on Easy with Reimu on 10D. I'm kind of enjoying the cap on the point item value, it's rather fun to try and cap it sooner and sooner. I tend to cap at around Stage 4 midboss with Reimu, but with Marisa it's easy to do by the end of Stage 3.
Now that I've messed around with Scoring on Easy for a little bit, time to get a hard 1cc.~
-
PCB Normal 1cc default lives with Reimu A :3 I find Reimu easier to use than any of the others. Sakuya makes Youmu's nonspells hell for me and Marisa is just too fast. I die too much while using her :/
-
First proper go at 10D Hard and I manage to 1cc it. First Hard 1cc in ANY game. What the hell ZUN, you've made it uber easy. ::)
No deaths until the end of stage 5 either... the only real problems I had were a the last few spellcards for Futo and a few of Miko's cards.
Honestly it just feels like I've 1cc'd normal.
-
Totally forgot to post again - but the very first of the month saw my second Phantasm clear! PCB is the only game I've managed to clear Extra and Phantasm with more than one shot-type, though that will hopefully change in the future. My clear late on August 31st was with ReimuB and her Persuasion Needles, my clear early on September 1st was with SakuyaA, with Jack the Ludo Bile.
Weird. The easier shot-type was cleared second.
-
Managed another no bomb normal clear, this time Imperishable Night (the other one is Mountain of Faith).
perfect until midboss Marisa, 1 death to each her midboss and endboss (2nd nonspell & Master Spark), 2 deaths to Tewi, 2 to Reisen, perfect Stage 6 until Kaguya, 4 deaths to her, 2 of which were to Swallow's Cowrie Shell. I hate that spell.
Ghost Team was used, 10 deaths, 0 bombs, 0 continues, 24 cards captured.
-
Marisa B PCB 1cc, making PCB my first game to 1cc with all shot types. Strangely none of my runs were as good as my first 1cc (Reimu A), which also was my first ever default lives 1cc, ending with 6 lives in stock. The sheer amount of stupid mistakes I made makes me wonder how I even got the 1cc for some of the characters (esp SakuyaA). For some reason Foggy London Dolls took my first life/bomb for I think half of these, even though I do just fine with it on practice mode.
Also, all spellcards for the main game in PCB captured on normal! Onto hard? Or maybe Phantasm or a non-homing Extra? I still have SA and UFO to 1cc normal for too.
(Mega Flare capture too)
-
Typical
NB Practice run. Maybe I just happen to suck at all the pre-MoF bosses, but Brilliant Jewel, the other Jewel and LSI are sudden walls, and the other two require retardedly precise timing ...
I just tried this. I didn't even clear. Then I try Byakuren - Despite dying three times to that memo crap I still clear with four lives. Yeah, I hear you. Kaguya is pretty retarded. Kinda the reason I don't play IN really. There is something annoying about no-missing the entire game capturing pretty much everything only to resource-spam on the final boss.
-
no bomb normal clear, this time Imperishable Night
Well what a coincidence, so have I just now.
Anyway, I should report that I've also 1cced Ten Desires on normal recently as well. Didn't take too many tries, I think.
-
There is something annoying about no-missing the entire game capturing pretty much everything only to resource-spam on the final boss.
This. No deaths up to Yuyuko on Easy and then dying six times just shouldn't happen. I think my record for her is 2 lives lost? I can't remember. I've definitely only accomplished that once if at all.
But anyway, I decided to have another go at EoSD Extra. Died horribly to Cranberry Trap then again to Four of a Kind, but then proceeded to capture Maze of Love, Catadioptric AND Counter Clock. Still didn't clear though; for some reason I decided to run into a couple of bullets on ATWTBN?. :/. But I have two more captured cards under my belt, woot. :D
edit: More captured cards...Princess Undine, Sylphae Horn High Level, Green Storm and Scarlet Meister (hard version). The only cards I have left to capture on Normal are Metal Fatigue and Maid's Skill "Marionette". I still have one card in stage 4 left to capture (apart from the one mentioned before) which is Silver Dragon.
-
Finally got a good SA no bombs run to actually clear.
Stage 1: 0 deaths
Stage 2: 0 deaths
Stage 3: 0 deaths (very happy with these 3 in a row)
Stage 4: 1 death (perfect Satori battle!)
Stage 5: 5 deaths (2/5 cards captured, 4/5 noncards captured, 1 stage death. What sucks is my last run nearly perfected endboss Orin.)
Stage 6: 2 deaths (Mega Flare didn't wall me, screwed up the first spell and second nonspell.)
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15786
EDIT: Just realized I died more times in my IN no bombs run than in this no bombs run, when SA is generally regarded as harder than IN...what?
-

You must hate TLB's. :V
-
You must hate TLB's. :V
Not really. The TLB's I know of come at the end of a long and difficult game like the Ketsui URA Loop and the DOJ 2nd Loop. Its more like an appropriate 'ultimate challenge' at the end of it all. Kaguya... is more like this inappropriate half-memorizer half-laser walls boss that appears after an otherwise really easy game.
-
Today marked my second defeat of Flandre Scarlet! Once again proving that my Extra-clears aren't flukes, I managed this clear with ReimuB. Less cards captured overall but my first capture ever of Counter Clock, and my best showing yet against And Then Will There Be None?, using just one bomb the entire card.
If I hadn't been shaking by the end of Maze of Love, I would've probably done even better.
-

-
Beat 10D Extra with Marisa... while getting the 12-point extend
AWWW YEAH
...it's actually harder then just doing it normally, because you have to bomb a lot of noncards and suicide a bunch. I also, despite getting it just about as perfect as possible, ended 0/0 without a single extra life piece. You could probably get ONE more life piece if you did it just about perfect, and 2 if you, like, TAS'd to shotgun cards that you normally can't. ...actually using Sanae for easier gauge filling might make it easier to get more, but, whatever :V
I actually died on Pseudo-Exorcism Of The Stupid Shrine Maiden with 0 lives, and killed it barely in time to get my extend. Was cool.
I'm waiting on most of my story mode 1ccs for the english patch to be out, though, so I can screenshot record me getting all the good endings! And whatever bad ones I happen to get by "oops", likely while trying lunatic unseriously. Right now I think I've got it where I can still see everyone's good and parallel ending without having to re-1cc something I already got the clear on, assuming I don't fail to get a parallel on hard for Marisa or Sanae (Did my Reimu 1cc on hard already).
I might try for Lunatic, but I'm spending most of my Touhou-playing desires on GoS instead :V
Oh and I captured every single spellcard in practice a long time ago for Reimu and Youmu I guess, and everything but Seiga's overdrive for Sanae and Marisa (AKSDFJDKAS THAT CARD).
Youmu can kill Yoshika in Seiga's overdrive, which is silly :3 If you can manage to survive long enough for the bullets to go offscreen while Yoshika is "dead", you've pretty much won, although this still isn't all that easy. It's a mean overdrive. :C
I don't really like playing Youmu too much because all you can hear is SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH AUUUUUGH otherwise she'd be awesome, I could probably change a sound setting to make it quieter though
edit:tears forever http://puu.sh/5igy
I clipped that laser and died
look at that laser it is totally not in my hitbox fuxdammit I survived so long look at that timer auuugh
;_;
-
Decided I'd clear Ten Desires with Sanae on normal to clear with every shot type, ended up getting to Miko's 4th spell 6/4 (or I'd be at 6/4 by the end of the game, I don't remember). capture, capture, 2 bombs, trance and 2 bombs. I generally can do those spells, but I REALLY wanted that run to be a 1LC. and it was.
-
Too cool off from a UFO 1cc fail I went and practiced Stage 6 SA.
Hell's Artificial Sun Captured!
And Hell and Heaven Meltedown as nearly timed out, but I died at 4 seconds left when Utsuho still had half her healthbar. Hitting Utsuho during that spell is painful, and her large healthbar doesn't help. Also, for some miscellaneous "achievements", Nuclear Fusion was nearly captured and St. Nikou's Air Scroll is captured
EDIT: Yeah Misayama captured! And Mountain of Faith nearly captured :(
-
Really good UFO Normal run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15803)
As I said in the description, I still suck at stages, but only 3 deaths between the last three bosses with NONE on Shou is pretty good, don't you think? Especially when it comes with my first St. Nikou's Air Scroll capture.
-
Okay. So I was browsing through spell practice to check out my capture rates in Ten Desires when I realised, whoops, forgot to clear Seiga's Overdrive card. Silly me. I shouldn't have done it on a day where I've had only 5 hours of sleep though. My dodging skills suffers greatly from things like that so I had to spend a whopping 45 attempts to capture this. Half of those failures where me mindlessly running into a slow-moving laser. Very retarded. The rest were me getting walled by those orb things. Even more retarded.
I can't really say I'm a fan of the spell even if its one of the few challenging cards in the game. It really just reminds me of Fantasy Heaven and the idea of be in the right spot or die mentality it seems to have going for it. Or maybe I'm just sleeping. I don't know. Meh, its done anyway. Its pretty impressive that I managed to capture this though. I mean, I am in a state that allows me to fail at Seiga's midboss card. Two times. In just 15 minutes. I need those 8 hours man.
-
So now that I'm no longer retarded, I can finally claim a Normal 1CC on Imperishable Night. Border Team, Final-B.
Seriously, I don't know what's so wrong with me that I can basically beat EoSD and PCB in my sleep, do passably well in MoF, but completely fuck up IN and 10D most times.
-

Because IN is actually a hard game? (at default lives)
As for 10D.... :ohdear:
-

10 desires has way too few extends. Assuming you get the 15 piece extend, you'd be having 4 extends, in comparison to EoSD's 6 extends (And PCB's ~10). And this is with knowing when to trance for spirits. Seeing that I'm good at screwing up and terrible at deathbombing for all games except PCB (EoSD and IN are okayish), it's very frustrating.
But the patterns aren't that bad
And I kinda suck at IN too, at least compared to EoSD, PCB and MoF
Back on topic, Mountain fo Faith captured, meaning all MoF main game cards captured on normal for me! Somehow I captured Star Ritual for Divine Winds on Reimu B and wasn't aware of it. I still need to figure out that card
EDIT: Not sure where to put this (kinda minor achievement), but I'm starting to like scoring in UFO. Well, in practice mode. Thing is I have some obsession with getting good scores for all characters (except some MoF, SA and UFO ones and IN solos) in practice mode normal (then hard mode?), and UFO scoring seems rather enjoyable (PCB and IN are frustrating as hell). Well, once you remove the huge amount of lives I'd probably get more pissed off with it. But anyway, all stage 5 spells captured in one run, netting 92mil score for that stage (practice mode). Stage 3 is still screwing me thanks to Ichirin's first and final boss spells. For some reason my capture rate is still 0 for the latter even though I know how to do it. And stage 4 :(, trying to capture Sinker Ghost is frustrating due to the sheer length of the stage.
-
Mountain of Faith Hard 1CC.
Okay, so it was utterly mediocre and bombspammy, but still, I actually managed to 1CC a Touhou on Hard.
And it did have a few good moments (hello Aya's first spell capture).
PS: Is it normal to not die once on stage 6 up until Virtue of Wind God and then die three times to that?
-
It's definitely very doable to not die on Stage 6 until VoWG. IIRC, that happened on my first Lunatic 1cc.
-
PS: Is it normal to not die once on stage 6 up until Virtue of Wind God and then die three times to that?
Yes. Stage 6 of MoF is like the pachinko table from Kaiji. You get through everything else but the last obstacle is absolutely insane.
-
It's definitely very doable to not die on Stage 6 until VoWG. IIRC, that happened on my first Lunatic 1cc.
With bombs on every other attack no doubt. :V
--- Well seriously now. VoWG is one of the hardest cards in the game. The only cards I'm more scared of is Nitori's midcard and PWG. Its certainly not implausible that you slip up on VoWG but capture everything else. Honestly, every single of her other cards are easy compared to it.
-
Mountain of Faith Hard 1CC.
Okay, so it was utterly mediocre and bombspammy, but still, I actually managed to 1CC a Touhou on Hard.
And it did have a few good moments (hello Aya's first spell capture).

When I got my first one with ReimuA, I had a life and 4 power for VoWG. cleared it via deathwave. Capturing Saruta Cross is pretty insane, although I got Illusionary Dominance in both of my MoF hard 1ccs :D (They both bombspammed, but whatever.)
-
Just accidentally 1cc'd Lotus Land on Normal....
Got to Yuuka's final few attacks with no lives and no bombs, and luck dodged for about 15 seconds. I was literally dodging the bullets I could see but accidentally walling myself in. But I still managed to make it through the smallest of gaps? More than 5 times? I mean, is that hitbox detection failure or am I just extremely lucky?
-
MoF Lunatic No Bombs 1cc
Fuck yeah Marisa-C! 1DNB Stage 5 and 6. Died at VoWG as Kanako is exploding. Thank God I have a spare life left or else it could have turned into this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,9176.msg710758#msg710758)

MoF Extra Clear with 504,007,000 points.
2 lives left to spare. Hoping that I can go and undo those two idiotic deaths and that horrible Red Frog derping.
Also, PCB Extra Clear with 623,000,000 points.
Three spare lives.
Are any of these figures good, at all?
-
Bunch of captures here:
Star Maelstrom (I have no idea how I did this)
Devil's Recitation
All patchy's extra cards in one game
Cranberry Trap
Maze of Love is really close to being captured. I also had my best EoSD extra run so far, getting to And Then There Will Be None, and would have gotten further had I not died twice (thrice?) with bombs in stock. Same with trying for UFO 1cc, died at Flying Fantastica again, this time with Sanae B.
And why have I still not captured Ichirin's final card!? I know how to do it but it just screws me each time.
SA 1cc is still kinda far off. Why must the extra stage I want most be the hardest to unlock?
EDIT: IN 1cc with Magic Team, ending with 2 lives in stock. Which was followed by an EoSD run that I don't know how to describe. Pretty awesome all the way up to stage 5, where I lose not 1, not 2, not three, but FIVE lives to absolutely unforgivable stupid deaths I can't believe I made.
Then Marionette capture, which I don't even know how I did. And it became a 1cc, much to my surprise, making all characters 1cc'ed for EoSD normal.
Replay here, for all the stupidity and awesomeness: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15838
EDIT2: Captured Metal Fatigue (Finally), Sylphae Horn High Level and Scarlet Netherworld. Now just Princess Undine ( :ohdear:) and Red Magic left. And I swear Rage Trilithon is harder than Rage Trilithon High Level
-
SA Lunatic Stage 5 unlocked for Practice and some rather important points somewhat under control, even though most Spellcards are still a bit of a problem. Oh, well, finally received this today:
http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/IMAG0019.jpg (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/IMAG0019.jpg).
Would like to finally get started on the game right away, but I guess I'll wait until I'm done with SA, too deep in there right now to switch to TD.
-
PCB Ultra Hard 1CC 0/1. :3
-
So I screwed up Suwa War again, so I figured I may as well go for it since another perfect run was ruined.
Then I timed out Suwako's final card without camping the corners (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15843)
-
I finally beat PCB on easy mode!
at 120 FPS.
Also, random no focus timeout of Nitori's midboss spell on normal.
EDIT: What the heck Red Frog of Hoeui(sp?) Era 4 capture.
-
Futo perfect! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15846) No plans for Mamizou, but Miko seems like a decent challenge to perfect. Certainly I'm not going to make a big deal out of it though. Sakuya kind of killed my perfecting bosses drive. =~=
-
TD Extra cleared 0/something.
This would've come sooner if I had played more seriously.
-
Tengu Macroburst scares me.
Random ReimuC SA Stage 4 run, with much screwing around on the stage. Got to Satori, 1DNB battle with the one death being to the second wave of Great Whirlwind, which I promptly timed out the last 60 seconds of.
-
Two deaths to Kanako on an otherwise near-flawless Easy Run.
I even almost captured Mountain of Faith.
Until I got hit once and completely unhinged myself.
750,000,000.
I ask you, how is 1,000,000,000 possible at all?
-
Well, 1 billion on MoF isn't exactly easy regardless of difficulty. I did break a billion on Easy during one of the tourney weeks though, and even that was only barely.
Doing the game no death is pretty much a must unless you really score well, and if you do die, it needs to not be too early in. You also have to know where to deathbomb, and all bombs should be deathbombs if you can manage it. Also obviously don't PoC if it's going to cause you to have a huge chain break, but if it's only a small chain break or none at all, that's when you PoC.

No deaths was the intention.
Here is my replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15850)
I do not PoC if there is a particularly large break, such as the beginning of Stages 3 and 5, and before bosses.
I was running 800,000 Faith by Kanako, but that was slashed fairly quickly ;-;
Other than that, probably about 30% of all of my time is spent on, near, or above the PoC.
Not the best strategy, I realize, but those items
I cannot stand to see that crap fall off the screen
-
MoF normal with ReimuA netted me my first capture of Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual and second one for Mountain of Faith.
-
I ask you, how is 1,000,000,000 possible at all?
The high scores on Easy are over 1.5 billion for all characters. If you want to improve your score run, you should go to Royalflare and pick up some replays to see what people do to optimize your score. Seeing as you are playing Easy mode, no-miss no-bombing everything should be cake so you'll need strategies to further improve that.
Royalflare (http://score.royalflare.net/th10/levelchar10.html#L0C1)
-
Nuclear Fusion and Hell and Heaven Meltdown (and Blazing Star) captured for the first time, both in one run. Which leaves Hell's Artificial Sun... ...and 10+ Satori cards....
And another 1cc of MoF, by Reimu B this time. Also finally nailed Ichirin's final card, leaving just Sinker Ghost and Flying Fantastica to capture.

I ask you, how is 1,000,000,000 possible at all?
Getting 1B on Easy is actually pretty easy. No miss the whole run and be sure you're getting those point items on full value. I just watched your run and I say you could have already broken 1B if only you're getting those items above the POC regardless of dying two times on Kanako. Also, don't be afraid of bombing if you can't get on the POC even if you're not at full power when you reached the boss because it's worth the investment. It's also okay to let the faith value go down a bit in exchange for getting the items on full value unless you're shooting for 1.4B or something.
-
Cleared TD Ultra Normal with Reimu :V
Extra is waaaay too brutal.
-
You know when you're being absolutely stupid, when your "recipe for a successful first-1CC" in Ten Desires is, in fact, the method most people would use for a score run, apparently.
Ten Desires cleared, Normal 1CC with Marisa.
-
Got bored of facing Yukari and having her stomp me to dust cuz I freak out at "Boundary of Humans and Youkai", so I decided to fight Yuyuko instead. After a few tries, somehow I got this. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15857)
ND4B Yuyuko Normal. Yeah, that's a lot of bombs, and I only capped her first and third spells(As well as Ageless Obsession, but that's not exactly part of the Yuyuko fight, now is it?), but either way, I'm rather happy with this.

Discovered the Ultra patches yesterday, and I must say it's a bit disappointing to have to face impossible spellcards, especially in Extra where bombs won't solve your problem.
Nevertheless, it does create some interesting things, so I did a no death MoF Ultra Extra stage (...stage only, Suwako's second spellcard being impossible), but at 250% speed, mind you.
Show on ! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKGXGM166XM)

Scored 450M(beaten my old score of 417M) on MoF with vsync on....most of my touhou game had been set to 0, meaning off i think but turning it on made some remarkable changes, still need to get used to it, but movements are more sensitive and precise, made some cock-ups during this run, due to the sensitivity.

Hey, decided to play some PCB Extra and got up to Ran's survival card. First time I've ever gotten past Ancient Buddhist.
Shikigami "Chen" and Kokkiri-san are a lot harder than they look, though, especially the former.

It's worth noting that for the former, that if you are within her reach, Chen will aim for you :D
Kokurri-san's pattern is the same every time, so try to get a jump on it, once you memorize it.
I tried to do my no-deathing whatever on MoF on Normal mode.
Big mistake :V
It didn't work, but I did manage 500,000,000.
-
Finally managed to perfectly time out Kappa's Porocca in SA. I think the attempt count is something like 40 or so. Way more than in should've been. Feels nice to finally be done with Satori. Now I never have to play as Marisa in that game again and that in itself is cause for celebration. Damn she sucks.
I dunno why people say MarisaC has the easiest Satori battle. I really don't understand it. DBDB was a lot easier to do than Porocca and Extending Arm for me.
-
Timed out Lunatic Red Eyes. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15862)First time timing out a Last Word, so I'm happy. ^_^
Come to think of it, I should probably get back into PCB, I haven't even attempted timing out any of that stuff yet. I'm thinking Banquet of 12 General Gods.
-
I just had my very first. PoDD 1cc on Easy with Kotohime. Since I'm a near complete beginner in SHMUPs (before Touhou, I was never really interested in them and barely played any), it's not bad and hopefully the first step to greater accomplishments.

Hey, everyone starts somewhere.
In terms of my accomplishments, I got to Big Crunch or whatever Marisa's fourth card was in GFW 90fps.
-

Done. Took me all of two tries.
Oh, and let's add a timeout of Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser and a capture of Descent of Izuna-Gongen for good measure. ^_^
-
After a good year or so since I last played it, I finally got around to finishing StB 85/85.
Bar of the Ten Kings. NEVER AGAIN.
-
I captured Froggy Braves the Elements D:
The only problem is, the rest of the run surrounding it was dripping with failure.
Also, I've pushed my Easy score to 780,000,000.
GRRRRRRRRGH
-
MoF Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15865) run with the Ultra patch applied. Ended with 3 spare lives and one bomb. I suppose this is pretty mediocre, but I got the adrenaline rush so I'm happy anyway.
-
I really needed that break from Touhou. I kinda still do, but for different reasons. Amidst all of today's mediocrity, I found myself still able to pull off a few notable things, like capturing Resurrection Butterfly. At least I can still have fun with some old accomplishments.
-
PCB no focus hard 1cc, using ReimuB.
Ended with 3 spare lives, but started with max. Would have had 4 if I didn't derp Reflowering.
-
UFO Extra with the Ultra patch applied, 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15873) at first attempt.
-
PCB default lives 1cc with Sakuya B :3 She's actually pretty good once you get used to her.
Captured Swallowtail Butterfly as well. Also Yuyuko's first card seems easier on Hard than on Normal for some reason...
-
PCB Easy 1CC with 610 million points.
Scoring 1,000,000,000 in this game also remains a mystery to me.
As it stands, my high scores in PCB and MoF is 610 and 800 million.
That's good, right?
I lost all sense of composure at the Youmu fight, culminating in three deaths to her.
What in the heck, man. I could have gotten 700,000,000, then.
-
Play unfocused, score in PCB. Don't shoot bosses when you've got the border on - focus on grazing.
Other important note is to know how to milk most off the stages (especially the stage 4. You actually get 2 bombs during the stage period. I'd use them to gain those points.). Noncard grazing comes next, but that's... a bit harder. At least learn those Youmus noncards in the common method before you start to try milking them.
-
Mountain of Faith extra ReimuC clear, 1 life to spare despite a stupid death to Kanako's last spell. Captured Red Frog again, and 1DNB'd Suwa War. Would have capped Mishaguji-sama too had I been using ReimuB.
-
First time I've done something I consider an accomplishment in any significant regard.
PCB Normal 1cc with ReimuA.
My first Normal 1cc (well, besides IN but I did that with six lives and pulling it off felt rather hollow because of it :V), made extraordinary by the fact that this is about the fourth time I've ever taken a crack at PCB's Normal Mode, and the fact that I conceded a precious life to Letty because my brain stopped working.
The fact that I didn't immediately restart after dying to Letty should probably let you know that I wasn't playing too seriously, imagine my surprise when I realised I had about four or five lives going into Yuyuko.
Took the run home with two lives and a bomb still in stock.
Bad. Ass. :D
-
Hey, it's a new record for me.
I can get to Nitori's mid-boss appearance on Lunatic mode now.
-
Time to add to my list of 1CCs. Mystic Square cleared on Normal, with Mima. Too bad I can't handle the Grimoire yet.
-
And I finally got a UFO 1cc, though I screwed up quite a bit on Byakuren. Nearly captured Flying Fantastica too, it was literally a few milimetres of health to go when I died.
Now for Extra, and SA.
-
Rising World, no focus, no vertical on Yukari solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15908).
Nothing specially hard, but definetly worth the effort, as it's really fun to clear this card in a not-too-common way. Can recommend it to people who haven't tried doing this yet.
Also, a bonus (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15909).
-
Captured 50% Reflowering and managed to no-death Meiling on Hard, finally. For it to work, if I have 3 bombs then I bomb once on the stage (usually on her midboss card) once in Flower Illusionary Dream Vine and once on her last. If I still have the bomb from stage 2 then that's a bonus.
-
I beat GFW on easy mode, route A1!
without ice
Now back to trying to clear hard mode

Finally got a perfect

Shou. Radiant Treasure doesn't look nearly as scary after trying the Ultra version. :p
Vajra still sucks, though. :derp:
Edit: Youtubed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6nzYdXrUFc). And yeah, there's one point where I really should have used a bomb. :derp:
-
10D easy, no horizontal clear
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15928
-
@I have no name: But you used Perfect Freeze one time in the last battle. Does that still count?
-
I think this would depend on whether one considers perfect freeze as strictly a bomb, or another way to freeze. I don't think there is a strict definition of that. Personally, I think it's more like a bomb. What do you guys think?
-
I was getting tired of attempting to humiliate Ran by beating her pacifist after one too many failures. So I decided to humiliate her in another way.
By beating her without focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15935) WITH MARISA.
Now add on to that my first capture EVER of Unilateral Contact. What a way to finally get the last spellcard from Ran that I needed. :toot:
-
@I have no name: But you used Perfect Freeze one time in the last battle. Does that still count?
I would assume so. PCB no bombs is defined either as "no bombing, no borders intentionally broken" or "no pushing the bomb button", which has a difference in intentionally ramming something to dispel the border. IN no focus could be defined as "no focusing or deathbombing (because that puts you in focused speed, aside from Remilia)", or "no touching the focus key". Personally, I prefer the definition of 'don't touch the button that lets you do this' when attempting this sort of challenge.
Since freezing is done by holding the Z key, I never touched Z over the course of the run. I could do it without the bomb, and probably would if I hadn't been testing that route for no ice feasibility that run :D
EDIT: since no one else has posted here and I don't want to double post, MoF extra clear with MarisaA, despite random lag stealing my movement resulting in 4 deaths (Long Arm, Long Arm, Iron Ring and Froggy). The other death was to the stage, and was entirely my fault. Captured Jade of the Horrid River and Seven Stones and Seven Trees, and got Suwa War to 5 seconds left before bombing. Nearly captured Mishaguji-sama, and probably would have if I had a life in stock for it. As it was I wasn't risking it. With that, I cleared MoF extra with all shot types.
-
Oh my...Everyone here is so good. I must suck then ):
Still working on normal clears for all games. Only have 2 games 1cc'd on hard, and those are the two easiest games ):
No amazing captures really...
And I've only cleared two extras. The easiest ones ):
-
Oh my...Everyone here is so good. I must suck then ):
Everyone starts somewhere. Just keep at it and you'll be doing stuff like this too.

"Easiest" is subjective. If I had to guess I'd say PCB and IN though.
Also, I cleared UFO normal with MarisaB, meaning I *finally* cleared every Windows bullet hell normal with every shot type*, and also cleared Phantasm with MarisaB and MoF extra with MarisaA to have cleared those 2 extras with all shot types.
*not counting solo characters in IN.
-
So I just did this really, really horrible run of PCB stage 5 while aiming to capture Youmu's first card and dying stupidly everywhere, then proceeded to capture her last one. Wut.
-
Yeah pretty much. IN and PCB extras cleared.
As for the hard ones, those are on IN and LLS.
Also where would i ask about translations? for any game. Particularly the PC-98s
-
Accomplished a Normal 1cc of Mountain of Faith with ReimuB.
Not the biggest fan of MoF nor have I played it very much, so it feels good to get this one done.
-
Hey Sonae, try and clear LLS extra then. It's so fun and it's my favourite extra to do.
Also it's not really an accomplishment as much as it is just me having so much fun.
Random UFO stage practice runs doing non-serious dodging and flying arounnd like an idiot, and whatdoyouknow I manage to 2-3 death stage 4 :D. Also in stage 6 I manage to cap Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri" and almost cap Devil's Recitation.
Zengeku you should so totally watch these replays to see how fun I am when not dodging seriously and also dodging very well at the same time :3
-
Cleared TD Extra again, the difference being that this time the game acknowledges it.
TAKE THAT YOU STUPID SURVIVAL BUG!
Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to work the patch. :derp:
-
Have another accomplishment from me: Story of Eastern Wonderland cleared on Normal with ReimuB.
It really does show that this is just a prototype for the later games, though.
-
Zengeku you should so totally watch these replays to see how fun I am when not dodging seriously and also dodging very well at the same time :3
You know, watching your replays makes me feel better about myself. >:D
No. Not really. I watched your replays and I have a few comments for you. First of all, badass dodging in Stage 4. That was really well done. We are talking a section that even I don't have consistency at... yeah, I admit it. I don't know how much of that was simple luck but you are on the right path. :)
Also. Byakuren. A year ago, my runs were hardly any better than that so you don't have too much to fear. A bit of advice on that Milky Way card though. I saw you attempt vertical streaming. Don't do that. Horizontal streaming is easier even though you won't kill the attack as fast.
-
Great Fairy Wars hard 1cc, Route A1, 4 lives to spare. It was my first time 1ccing past Fairy Overdrive too :D
-

Lol, that badass dodging was me messing around because I was in an awesome mood (my mood affects everything). I would say alot of that was luck but also good control. I've never had as little deaths as that on stage 4.
And I wasn't really going to attempt Star Maelstrom properly anyway. Though I will keep that tip in mind.
Oh, and that was my first cap (I think) of midboss Nue stage 6.
I am seriously confused as to whether I should keep non-seriously dodging or start serious dodging. The former being so much more fun and luck based, the latter having higher chances of survival.
Also, when I think about it, I started playing just before the UFO demo got released. Which means I've been playing for 2+ years.
-
I know I'm going to need to provide proof of this, so it took a while to write up this post, but! I've now scored 1CCs of EVERY PC-98 game on Normal, with Highly Responsive to Prayers rounding out the set. Once I figured out Kikuri's weak point (her head, of course), it was only a matter of four more levels in between her and Konngara.
The first time I faced Konngara? Beaten. All PC-98 games beaten at least once. However, that still leaves Sariel...
Here's the proof in two glorious screenshots.

VERY nice, I'm still missing HRtP and PoDD.
In just 2 battles with Murasa on hard, I've captured all 4 of her spells and all 3 of her nonspells.
I also got Calamity "Scolding Scorch", or whatever Ichirin's last spell is called on hard captured on my second time facing that.
and same thing with "Greatest Treasure", a.k.a. Stage 5 Nazrin's midboss spell.
-
Made a youtube account and uploaded a derpy montage of some of my best MoF dodges and stuff. Includes PWG caps, 7 trees with ultra patch cap, all midboss Kanako's spell cards on ultra and some old lunatic timeouts. Lots of fails and other stuff that's just filler, but hopefully someone can enjoy this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mf_DUbb-T4
It was fun to make and play, MoF is easily my favourite game.
-
well, i did beat IN extra without 1cc'ing any normal stages......
-
I captured Fujiyama's Volcano. In the actual extra stage. And I wasn't even circling Mokou
I don't even know how.... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15959)
(Also got Everlasting Phoenix Tail in a different run)
(Advice on the later stage would be helpful)
-
Made it to St. Nikou's Air Scroll on my first time reaching UFO Stage 6 hard. If I didn't die once stupidly to Stage 5, that *may* have been a 1cc.
Captured Shou's first nonspell, her second spell and her last spell on my first time ever so much as facing them, and deathbombed Devil's Recitation with 0/1.
-
Mystic Square 1cc. on Easy.
...The game is hard, alright? :V :derp:
-
Finally managed to get my much deserved Normal 1cc of EoSD with ReimuA. That took long enough. It's somewhat embarrassing that it took me that long to finally get the 1cc considering I'm usually well into Stage 4 by the time I first die.
On the plus side, this means I'm well on my way to Normal 1cc'ing all of the Windows Touhou games. Though, the way people talk of SA and UFO makes me fearful.
Additionally, I played PoDD for the first time today, Normal 1cc with Reimu on my absolute first time playing it. Either PoDD is really easy or I'm just that awesome, because I managed to pull the run off despite not figuring out that my attacks don't cancel enemy bullets like they do in PoFV until about Stage 4.

(Also got Everlasting Phoenix Tail in a different run)
(Advice on the later stage would be helpful)
First of all, I have to say that capturing Volcano in an actual run is impressive, I don't think I've ever managed to do that Nice job.
Overall, I think you were moving too slowly for Possessed by Phoenix. You pretty much did the first phase correctly, but you should probably make a faster move to avoid the pink bullets.
I see that you like the "tap in one direction" strategy for the blue phase. However, you were tapping too fast, you would have gotten trapped every time at that speed. Here's a tip I remember from watching one of Kefit's videos on youtube: tap to the beat of the music. And if you reach the wall and get trapped, just bomb. With this strategy, it should take no more than one bomb to get through that phase.
And for both parts with the volcanoes, you NEED to move faster. The 3rd phase is cake if you move as far away from each volcano group as soon as they spawn.
For the last phase, again, moving faster to avoid getting trapped by the volcanoes is also key, but not as fast as the last phase since you now have pink bullets to contend with.
And I'm not sure if you've seen Hourai Doll yet, but the entire spell is circular streaming. Anyway, I hope this helped. Good Luck!
-
As mentioned in the other thread, SA Lunatic cleared with Reimu-A.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cdfJxxQzPM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cdfJxxQzPM)
Overall, I have to say that the game seems extremely fair, especially with the distribution of Power Items, right before bosses in particular. Kind of seems to me like the game was specificially designed to let people clear the game as long as they have a thorough understanding of strategies in stages as well as maybe two or three boss patterns and how to properly use their power and bombs.
Still, really a nice run I'm satisfied with, one death in Stage 2 and two in Stage 3, was considering throwing in the towel after that, but getting hit only once in Stage 4 and once in Stage 5 let me get to Stage 6 with four Extra Lives, don't think I've ever gotten there with that much.
Now, I can finally play some TD and go on with the SA Extra Stage after checking out its Hard and Extra Modes. Seems like ordering it before the release was worth it after all, even though it only saved me something between 2 and 10 days in the end, just wasn't too motivated with SA, or rather, too much of a whimp.
-
Got past Ran's survival card :D Managed to survive until the bubble wave of her last card. I smell a clear soon...if only I can get to her final with an extra life.
-
Great Fairy Wars Route A1 Normal 1cc.
My playing was sloppy as all hell considering I derped about two lives away on piss easy stage sections and I still pulled the clear with two lives remaining.
So yeah, I've Normal 1cc'ed five Touhou games within about three or four days of each other when I couldn't even come close 1cc'ing them previously. I seem to have become competent at these games overnight.
Only three games remain of the Windows Touhou series.
-
welp, 200m is next (http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/308455_1781510397898_1843603191_1210228_1872797602_n.jpg)
-
Hell yeah, second defeat of Flandre, this time with Reimu B.
I almost captured Q.E.D. as well.
-
randomly captured vowg after not playing touhou for a week
also perfect aya
-
Though, the way people talk of SA and UFO makes me fearful.
Rightfully so for UFO, I personally don't see what's so hard about SA on normal mode. SA hard is hard, but still easily doable (aside from Stage 5).
As I've been trying to 1cc UFO hard and 1LC SA normal, I figured out a strategy for Stage 5 that will get me through it without dying 98% of the time.
Also I'm rather consistent at Kogasa's last spell on hard...now watch as my next attempt dies twice to it. (edit: or just bombs it once)
-
SA Normal was certainly the hardest normal for me back in the day. Sure UFO didn't exist at that point but I'd say its still considably more difficult than the other games on Normal.
-
I personally thought UFO Normal didn't seem ridiculous (SA normal, definitely is the hardest to me). I thought it was fine for a Normal. If you're not used to the UFO system already though, then, well, yeah, that'd make a big difference.
UFO's difficulty skyrockets in the change to Hard, though. It's seriously more difficult to me then many of the other game's Lunatics. Getting the MarisaB 1cc was quite a fun challenge. This makes me sorta sad, that the difficulty is so incredibly high; UFO would be my favorite game otherwise. Fun and varied balanced shottypes (With MarisaB for Challenge Mode), lovely interface and menu theme, good music and lovely patterns in general, a ufo system that adds extra depth beyond just "DODGE BULLAT". But then everything goes down to bombing the eff out of next to all attacks instead of actually dodging them, or else DIE HORRIBLY.
I mean, Ten Desires isn't -anywhere- near as appealing. It's just sort of "eh" to me. A ton of the patterns and stages are just... eh. It's not very captivating. It has low difficulty, but I don't even like it enough to feel like trying to 1cc lunatic, which from what I hear is also not that hard. It doesn't help that I've been holding back until the English Patch is out so I can read the endings, though...
Maybe I should try UFO Lunatic again. It's been an awfully long time... as I said, over a year! I'll probably remember why I gave up though, after I try.
...why does my favorite UFO shottype have to be MarisaB? :c It's a dumb Forward-Focus shottype with no power, that pretends to be spread! (That spread barely even takes out popcorn fairies running across the screen at max power before they reach your base shot, don't you lie to me.) Although I guess I haven't played UFO in like a year, anyway. And yes, it was still the last shottype I 1cced Hard with, I'm not crazy!
-
Got a 1cc Normal on Mountain of Faith; this is my first Normal 1cc of one of the regular shooters and my first Normal 1cc in two years (my only other one so far being PoFV).
-
Finally beat UFO lunatic...with 50+ continues =p Ok at least I unlocked practice mode now.
The cool thing was: I captured Legendary Flying Saucer on my very first attempt.
-
No-death Sakuya, Normal mode.
Also finally captured Marionette. A lot of running around wildly to escape unpassable walls was involved and I somehow caught it just before the card timed out on me. And I was certain that Killing Doll was going to come first...o_O
Seriously, Youmu is way easier. It's taken me like 5 months to accomplish this (though I wasn't trying all that time) and I unintentionally cleared Youmu like this about a month after I got PCB. That game is way easier, but Yuyuko still forces me to spew out my lives and bombs.

I recently got a random perfect (fine, no death no bomb) of EoSD Stage 5, normal. In an actual run. I had no bombs going into the stage, and just never got hit. I timed out Marionette there though.

Apollo 13 Lunatic timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15980)
since it seems that i can't pay attention to the game this took three hundred attempts
-
In chronological order...
Emperor of the East Capture. This was easier than I thought.
Unreasonable Butterfly Storm Capture. Oh gosh the number of tries it took to get this (History is over 100)
Fantasy Heaven Unlocked. WTF I was expecting to unlock Blazing Star from capturing stuff with Marisa solo(Oh and f you Earth Light Ray. Can't believe that took over 70 tries)
Apollo 13 Captured on Hard. I told my brother I'd do it in under 50. I did it in 48 tries
And Eirin's Last Word captured in 5 tries, unlocking Tewi's.
Just a little question. For Remillia's what does it mean by 30 last spells across all characters. Because I have more than 50 from Border and Magic team alone. Do multiples of the same difficulty not count? Or perhaps the same spell on different difficulties is not counted?
EDIT: Just got to Kaguya's 3rd nonspell in IN Hard. Also captured Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana earlier. The best part: Captured during Chinese lesson, with the computer at a weird angle
-
(another accomplishment which would seem pathetic on any other game)
Beat Lunatic Remilia in practice mode.

Multiples do not count. You need to capture 30 different last spells.
3 last spells in stages 1 - 5 each, so that's 18 already. 4 in 6A, 20 in 6B, and 1 in Extra. So out of 43 last spells, capture any 30 of them.
-
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil lunatic 1cc.
I can NOT believe I just did that...I'm shaking a little and my heart is pounding a million miles a minute.
So what if I started with max lives, I still 1cced lunatic.
On my first time getting past Remilia's first spell.
Scarlet Gensoyko was handled with 1 life in stock, which was lost due to a wall.
Capped Vampire Illusion, somehow.

And Scarlet Destiny is now unlocked. :)
EDIT: Captured Possessed by Phoenix too! Managed the circling method for the 2nd phase on the first try, though I still can't get the "tap as little as possible" way. Now just to get a good extra run...

Freakin' finally.
It took me two years of work. Two long years.
But I finally eked out a 1CC on EoSD's Easy mode.
Had a great gothrough up until Meiling, then derp'd twice on her.
Then I had a good gothrough of stage 4, didn't even need to bomb the non-directional lasers. But I still flubbed up near the end of Lava Cromlech ~Easy~.
And then there was Sakuya.....That annoying maid. She's been the bane of my runs for ages.

Don't know how I did it. Really don't know how I did it, except maybe tightening up my play through stages 3-5, but I can now add Subterranean Animism to my list of 1CC'd games.
Cleared with Reimu/Yukari on Normal, once again at 0 lives to spare like most of my first-1CCs.
This leaves me with one more to go. Oh, dear.
-
10D lunatic 1cc with Reimu!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16012
Omg finally did it. Thanks to that 18-piece extend after I got out of Guse Flash 0/0, I didn't have to punch my screen in despair.
-
Randomly tried to no focus normal Mountain of Faith with ReimuB, despite stupid deaths (with bombs in stock!) to Pain Flow, Monster Cucumber, Aya's second nonspell and Illusionary Dominance, as well as a derp moment at the beginning of Stage 5 (the kunai fairies+PoC= bad idea). I ended up dying only to Miracle of Otensui following that though, so I still finished with 2 lives. Made up for failing the final spell in my original no focus clear of MoF by capturing it.
Now excuse me while I continue my bad idea of no focus MoF extra. I will get past you Froggy Braves the Elements... as soon as I stop having 2+ derps per run.
EDIT: After one REALLY good attempt which failed with about 2-4 seconds left on Mishaguji-sama with a bomb in stock, I can do this.
-
First 1cc of SA with Reimu A on normal. Screwed up badly on Orin but still ended with.,.
...
FOUR LIVES LEFT IN STOCK (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16015)
SA joins MoF and PCB with "Games I 1cc'd for the first time with awesome runs". And that's all the main Windows games 1cc'd on normal! Now on to extra, hard, and more normal 1ccs for different characters!
EDIT: Just realised what those three games have in common. Their scoring is adversely affected by deaths. So extra perfectionism for them I guess leads to overkill runs?
EDIT2: Damn, Koishi looks so easy in the videos. Release of the Id and Superego are way harder when you're doing it yourself. And I assume Rosharch and Genetics would be like this too

Just like my first SA Hard 1cc. Four lives in stock at the end (I think).
-

Mine had only 1 left at the end.
but my Stage 6 run was so epic because it was blind and started with no lives in stock.
I managed to capture High Sensitivity Nazrin Pendulum twice in a row, and Parasol Star Memories (hard) 4 times in a row. If only I could stop choking on Ichirin...
-
I freaking captured Metal Fatigue!
*crickets*
Yeah, that spell card may seem really easy to some people but it caused me endless grief. I now have all Normal mode cards in EoSD captured. The last stage 4 card I need to get is Silver Dragon. (Metal Fatigue's hard mode couterpart, surprise surprise)
-
Went with an easier clear this time - Using the Scarlet Team, I finally scored a 1CC of Imperishable Night's FinalA route. This leaves Byakuren as my final target.
-
Cleared MoF extra with ultra patch and no focus using ReimuA. Finished shamefully at my last life with only 1 bomb left, after reaching Misaguji-sama with 1 extra and full power. Managed to capture Kanako's third card like this.

Would you say the ultra patch's autobombing made it easier or harder than the non ultra version with the same challenge?
I want to try some ultra modes but can't patch the games *sigh*.
On topic, finally captured Mishaguji-sama. Only Suwa War remains for MoF extra spells.
-

Someone did a perfect run of MoF extra no focus, so I'd say that playing without the ultra patch is easier. But if the player doesn't know how to bomb manually it could probably be harder.
-
Now that I'm finally done with that project I have finished recording it and finding some BGM for it. Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfcf1Jcf7Qs
All of Satori's spells timed out. Well. All the character specific ones. I decided to leave out Terrifying Hypnotism since its so bland and easy.
-

Good luck with Suwa War. It's either her hardest or second hardest. It's also the reason I have yet to perfect her, though admittedly I haven't tried all that much.
-

Have you even tried that trick I told you to try? It really makes it a lot more doable when you are doing it right.
-
On the run where I got the Mishaguji-sama timeout, I tried it, derped, then went for the final card timeout since I ruined the perfect. I did recap it once with the trick, but I pretty much always derp it long before that. That timeout was pretty ridiculous BTW.
-
Yeah, I can imagine that. Never really tried timing it out myself though.
Its something Formless managed to do so I considered it below me. :trollface:
I mean, It being positioned at the end of such a long stage made it pretty unattractive to me. Its the same with BoLaD... QED and Grudge Bow though. Yeah, somebody go time those fuckers out.
How about Red Frog Hoei Era whatever it was called?. That other survival card. I remember that my run was pretty much just moving around all over the screen hoping that she didn't box me in.
-
I captured Double Black Death Butterfly. And Needle Mountain of a Former Hell. And Mega Flare. All in the same run.
-

Red Frog is some easy stuff. It's one of her easiest once you have the path down. But IIRC Jaimers was having trouble with it when he went for the perfect as well.
-
When timing out Misaguji-sama, are you taking it to the last phase by shooting first? Nevermind... I checked the video.
Captured Misaguji-sama no focus now.
-
Pretty much the only way to do these timeouts of cards that get harder as HP goes down. Though even just the timeout phases are tough enough, I'd rather outlast it all if I'm capable of it.
Only way I could have made that timeout worse was using MarisaB and maybe MarisaC with 3 or 4 Frostthrowers on her, but I'm not enough of a masochist to use Marisa's oversized hitbox.

TD Lunatic 1cc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
First clear of IN's Extra, making 3 extras cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16024)
ONE MORE SPELL FOR IMPERISHABLE SHOOTING.
FUDGE YOU IHAKASA, WHY YOU SO HARD. AND FLAW OF FORGIVING SHRINE AND HONEST MAN'S DEATH, HOW DID I FAIL THAT?
Sorry, just kinda obsessed with unlocking last words, and seeing that spell is a requirement. Failing Flaw of Forgiving Shrine and Honest Man's Death is stupid beyond belief.
-
Someone did a perfect run of MoF extra no focus, so I'd say that playing without the ultra patch is easier. But if the player doesn't know how to bomb manually it could probably be harder.
I've seen that, it's a related video to my no focus clear on MoF normal.
I keep getting clipped and dying with bombs in stock also, especially to Seven Stones and Seven Trees.
Also Froggy Braves the Elements is annoying no focus.
-
My first MoTK #1 score run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16025). EoSD, Marisa-A, Lunatic, 0/3 clear.
-
I found out how to make the Touhou games run faster than 60 fps...and cleared PCB normal at 90 fps. Now I no longer need to use Cheat Engine to speedhack the game to whatever speed I want. Shame my double speed easy says 60 fps because Cheat Engine was used...
-
Decided that I'm going to 1cc the series on Lunatic and that I'm going to redo any of the ones I did without defaults and do it with defaults this time. Played a few credits of EoSD, made it to Eternal Meek on my last life and game-overed - first time 1cc'ing to stage 6 EoSD. Also did a 1-miss stage 5, ufufu Sakuya! Also capped Catadioptric and Starbow Break for the first time :3. Went for a QED cap too, but game-over'd on it :(.
I guess this marks the end of my Touhou-break.
-
Did more MoF with ultra patch. NDNB the entire stage part of stage 2 pacifist (including midboss, even if it's the same as always I think) and also managed to time out (NDNB) Broken Charm of Protection and Fate - Old Lady Ohgane's Fire! I didn't even think that would be legitimately possible at first, but it only took 12 tries.

Good for you! As someone who's accomplished that dream, it's best to be honest with yourself and play on default settings. You'll be amazed how good it feels in comparison to playing at max lives. Good luck, beat all 19 lunatics and feel the accomplishment. :3c

Well, I guess I should have specified the normal games... So that's 12, plus IaMP and SWR, which I already did. Maybe FW too, but I don't care about doing HRtP/Soku/StB/DS because they're either not shmups or they're weird shmups that don't involve shooting things (a camera does not count!).

All that talk about MoF extra motivated me so at last i got the NMNB run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16033)

Well, it's your choice, but I think there's something special to be said about having beaten every single Touhou game regardless of genre. If you ask me, if you go that far, you may as well go all the way.

I'm going to try to clear EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA and UFO and 120 FPS on easy and at 90 FPS on normal. So far PCB and IN have both accomplished, and I just cleared MoF easy at 120 FPS. Deathless until Kanako outside of faceplanting Nitori's first nonspell. Kanako was fail on so many levels though, 7 lives going in and finished with no lives and 2 power.
and now I bothered to 90 FPS MoF normal mode, with only 3 deaths throughout the whole thing: Sanae's easy nonspell, Mountain of Faith and somewhere else.
EDIT: Storm on Mt. Ooe easy 120 FPS capture at 0 power

Hell yeah!
MoF Ultra Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16035) (Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlWLBB6lYFI))
Didn't actually take that long; I was only at it today.
-

Sounds good. To be honest, 1cc'ing on anything than default settings isn't really a 1cc. Rather a 1 credit +a few extra lives clear. Especially IN where you can start with 7 lives. Really? Nice progress with EoSD btw.
Also. I'd seriously recommend giving the photography games another look once you are done with your Lunatic crusade. They got so many unique and different patterns.
Though, I don't understand why you wouldn't want to do Soku when you have already done IaMP and SWR. Its basically just an expansion of SWR.

Sweet job. You beat Enigma to it. :V
Hell yeah!
MoF Ultra Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16035)
Badass. I'm interested in seeing how you dealt with VoWG since iirc I died three times to that. (although its probably just a case of you riding auto bombs up until Kanako and then your lives from then on, but I have faith in you!)
-
Yeah, I died 3 times to VoWG too. It's basically impossible to dodge, so I just made sure I had enough lives going into that (and try to have full power at the start of the card to deal maximum damage before I get hit).
I'll get a youtube video up soon, as well.

Utsuho is hell at 120 FPS, her easy attacks become insane.
Oh, also 10,000,000 points reached in Double Spoiler by doubling my score on 6-7 to 400,000.
-
I'm still pursuing my Lunatic modes!
No deaths until Hina boss fight? Yes please.
And I've set a new record as to how far I can get!
Hello, Momiji!
Please stop walling me into spirals!
Isn't it amazing that I still can't 1CC Hard? :V
-
Sloppy run on UFO Normal with SanaeB after weeks of zero practice...
...concluded by a capture of Flying Fantastica.
-
I just stumbled across this vid and decided I'd share it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIV2cQtL7_c
A no-damage speed run of Megamari. 45 minutes of condensed entertainment. There are some weapon usage here and there to speed things up but all 8 initial bosses are taken down with only the MariBuster. The same goes for Shikieiki except of course being with Alice's laser.
The guy has hosted numerous TAS vids on his page but they are all labelled as such. This one isn't but it still looks a bit fishy at times. Still worth a watch though.
-
Did a random SA Stage 5 run today and almost perfected Orin again, which is surprising considering I'm still on a pseudo-break from these games.
Also I finally recaptured Futo's first card. I feel like it should be easier than I'm finding it to be. Maybe I'm just not aggressive enough or something.
-
Silver Dragon capture! That wasn't so hard. (well I did die to the nonspell before but a capture is a capture, right?) I now have all EoSD stage 4 spellcards captured, excluding a couple of the Lunatic versions like Emerald Megalith.
Also, EoSD Extra clear with Reimu B now up on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFdC7NXkwwI&feature=channel_video_title
-
TD Normal, Hard and Extra cleared with Reimu, slightly improved my High Score in SA's Extra to get back into chronological order. Time to proceed with UFO Lunatic.
Edit: And congratulations on that Extra clear to the poster above!

Wait a minute, didn't you already 1cc UFO? That's strange man. Most people usually do it in the opposite order. :)
Regardless, its a first right? Congrats then.
-
No-focus Phantasm clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16043).
I think uploading this run is somewhat a bad idea, since it's full of idiotic deaths (and bombs - not to mention the border breaks). And I clearly can't (or at least I should not) call this an achievement, since the run is one of the worst Phantasm clears I've ever made.
But what the hell, posting it anyway. It has some really laughable failing in it. Watch and enjoy.
-
Perfect MoF Stage 4 lunatic with Reimu-C!
All MoF lunatic stages perfected with Reimu-C now, time to do it with Marisa-A.
-
I pray that the day I don't feel amazing after a VoWG capture never comes. You feel like a king every time.

Trust me, mine has to be worse than that. The only reason I link to it is the last 5 minutes, where I proceed to not die. Stupid deaths, bombs and border breaks? I can almost guarantee I have more (Mesh of Light and Darkness comes to mind)
-
Suddenly, I play Ten Desires. I find out that Miko's 6th card is in fact pretty awesome. But I already knew that. Then I went and timed out some overdrive cards like Futo's which was pathetic and then Miko's which was pathetic too. Then Yoshika's that was actually fairly challenging and fun.
Then I went ahead and tried to time out Wild Carpet... i think its called. Mamizou's anyway... its a fun card. But damn it rapes my mind. 150+ attempts and still only two attempts making it around 15 seconds... this feels kinda like when I tried to time out SFN. My mind refuses to cooperate by concentrating on what I'm doing instead opting to think about things completely unrelated to what I'm doing. And then there is of course the 50% of the attempts that ends in under 5 seconds because I'm half asleep. For no justifiable reason.
Then I go check Jaimers vid and sees that capture rate and then my self-esteem dies completely. Until the next time someone calls me awesome anyway. What a glorious day.

What do you make of the weapon switching at, say, 18:03? Audio glitches at, say, 21:35? (Not to mention the numerous risky things he does.)
Still entertaining to watch though.
-
Those are a bunch of the things that made me go, yeah, that stuff is probably TAS'ed. Entertaining watch it is since we'll probably never see a perfect run of the game otherwise. Unless Hideofbeast get's an interest in the game but that's pretty unlikely.
-
Suddenly, I play Ten Desires. I find out that Miko's 6th card is in fact pretty awesome. But I already knew that. Then I went and timed out some overdrive cards like Futo's which was pathetic
You know, people say this, but everyone conveniently forgets that Futo's last spell card and overdrive have two phases, and said second phase is significantly harder to time out.
Anyway, something that I really should have done a long time ago: IN Marisa perfect! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16055) You can yap on about me failing Final Master Spark, and go ahead if you really like (I certainly won't care). You still can't deny this was a glorious run.
But more than that, this last hour and a half reminds me why I'm still playing nearly four years later when most players that old have moved on. When it comes down to it, when you're going mad with anger over the last bullshit death caused by bullets spawning on you, when you start making stupid mistakes and ramble, unsure of what you're even saying, and when you die on the one attack you've always taken as an auto-capture and curse at the top of your lungs, that is what playing Touhou is all about for me. And no matter what, there will always be another challenge still I have yet to try~
-

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I did the Lunatic version of the card in both ways but the overdrive version of the card get's absolutely ridiculous. Not only do you need to do some pretty tough dodging after the circling is over but once the bullets stops flying around randomly they start appearing as big huge walls even denser than the Lunatic version ended up being. I'm not gonna dismiss it as impossible but I'm not going to try for the achievement either.
I would love to see someone doing it though.

Cursing at the top of your lungs. Part of the job as a Touhou player. I'm 'only' around 3.5 years old but what you said still fits me splendidly. Oh and nicely done with Marisa. Don't worry about her final attack. Its just a memo card anyway.

No-miss TD Stage 5, 91 mil, previously 72 mil. Holy shit, and I bombed/tranced everything except for Tojiko's spell to boot.

-
Lunatic Aya 1 miss pacifist. Where's the death? On her piss easy opener. But I'm still pretty happy since I timed out all of her spellcards in one run.
Also captured PWG 4 out of 6 times today, I must be getting lucky.

MY FIRST LUNATIC 1CC :D
but it's a fighting game one.
It's still an accomplishment nevertheless.
Soku Lunatic 1cc Sanae.
Also why is it that Aya seems to have more scenes than Hatate in DS? Because the only difference is that Hatate has one more scene than Aya in the Spoiler level. And yes, I have counted, I just can't make sense of it.

(stuff)

Because all of the scenes in level Spoiler are counted as Aya's only, so Hatate's 99 (1-EX) aren't counting the 5 in Spoiler where you MUST use her.
Also, nice job on the lunatic 1cc.
Just cleared Ten Desires normal with Youmu.
again.
without focusing.
and no deaths until Miko's final nonspell.
-
Ah I see now. Although that means I can't count correctly, as I counted 108 for Aya and 99 for Hatate individually even when counting those 5 Spoiler scenes for Hatate. Lol fail.
And thanks :D
Good job on your clear too.

Yeah you can quit smirking. Your replay is desynced. :V Or it is for me at least. So you die at around 41-42 seconds left by running into a bullet.
quick youtube search came up with this:

Geez. I guess its time to go toying around with hitboxes again.
Also. Grats to Donut for that Mokou run. Or should I say, congratulations on capturing that non-spell. ;)
-

It works just fine for me.
Anyways, timed-out Futo's last card in lunatic in the amulet phase. That took only a few tries.
Basically, Wall sign "clip" - I'm sure it's 10x more so in the overdrive one.
-
only three.....
PCB-Normal- MarisaA
MOF-Normal-(cleared extra) MarisaA
UFO-Normal ReimuB
-
It is. The Lunatic version was easy to time out regardless of what you do with it. However, the overdrive phase not only becomes a help amulets everywhere and on top of each other bullet hell (that I appreciate) it also becomes a trail of pixel perfection and dodging through walls. (that I don't appreciate).
As for the replay, you mustn't tell anyone but I'm about to jump into a river. Apparently I tried watching the replay in 1.00a. I was almost certain I had patched my desktop installation but apparently not... apparently all the other replays I made with 1.00c didn't desync. Hmm.. Well, uhh... Donut can resume smirking I suppose. Not too much though or you risk the Flames of Final Master Spark failure. :V
-
Capped all spells in EoSD extra except QED and Maze of Love, and cleared with all shots other than ReimuA. Wee~! \o/
I refuse to bomb on those two spells until I capture them now. (unlses I die on them of course >_>)
-
I got Maze of Love with ReimuA by running in circles, and almost capped QED on at least 2 occasions. Still need Catadioptric though.
Reached Ran's last spell at 90 FPS, twice. Gonna clear this at 90 FPS soon.
-
Timed out Mamizou's miko spell, never successfully captured before. Turns out the thing is almost static ...

So my Internet connection went for a whole day. I spent that day playing Touhou.
- Defeated Ran. Twice. Sakuya B and Reimu A. The second time I managed to safespot Ran's final and would have captured it if I hadn't broken a border at the start >>
- Got up to Double Death Butterfly in Phantasm.
- Mesh of Light and Darkness capture.
- Killing Doll capture in a Hard no-deaths EoSD stage 5
- PCB 1ccs with Sakuya A and Marisa A.
-
PCB Lunatic 1cc get! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16070)
this makes three games (the other two being IN and MoF) o/
EoSD next? perhaps SA
Yes! You didn't use Sakuya. U are 1 of us! Congratulations with it. Going by the score I'd assume the run wasn't half bad either? Might even watch it.
As for the next Lunatic, I'd personally recommend SA. Its Lunatic is great fun and you get plenty of lives to toy with. That's what makes EoSD harder. That game gives you far less resources so I'd recommend waiting a bit on that one.
-
Nothing much but I finally unlocked stages 5 and 6 hard in Practice Mode for SA
after 12 continues...or was it 13?
-

I used SakuyaA when I beat PCB lunatic.
I'd suggest EoSD next actually, as I've managed to beat it but I can't touch SA lunatic, yet.
Anyway, for the main reason I posted here, MOUNTAIN OF FAITH EXTRA CLEAR, NO FOCUS
It went exactly as planned, aside from:
Suwako's second nonspell, I captured it?
Suwako's second spell, 2 bombs used instead of 3.
Suwako's 3rd spell, got walled and had to bomb
Suwako's 4th spell, 1DNB I think, plan had bombs to it
Suwako's 5th spell, I got bad luck on placement of gaps
Suwako's 6th spell, I didn't get clipped on it AT ALL for once
Froggy Braves The Elements, It exhausted 2 lives worth of bombs, I was just happy to survive it
Red Frog in Houei Era 4: went far far worse than expected
Suwa War: ND1B!
Mishaguji-sama: I had no clue how well I'd do on this, I'm just happy I survived it.
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16074
EDIT: and I beat IN lunatic with Border Team now, to add to having done it with Ghost Team. The run was a resounding meh, with a couple missed deathbombs too. Of, course, I still managed to capture Asteroid Belt, Double Spark and Shoot the Moon, and time out Starlight Typhoon, in addition to capturing General Headquarters Crisis for only the second time ever. Oh, and Tewi's first nonspell too somehow, for the FIRST time. and also Reisen's last spell.
-
I should not feel good about this.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16082
I still do.
-
Got a couple Maze of Love caps (micrododge method) :V. That just leaves QED now!

Let us know when you join the "die as Flandre's shooting smoke" club. We'll be waiting for you. :P It's like a rite of passage.
-
Its a process that everyone passes through at least. I'd say the actual rite is capping it though. :)
-
All that recent talk about the photography games somehow made me want to go replay a couple of scenes. Cleared Pandemonium again after like 400 shots, much less than the 1500 or so it took for the first.
I wonder, would piano-based Touhou accomplishments even count here? Because I'm making some surprising progress on a particular arrange of Necro-Fantasy, despite coming off what was effectively a three-year break.

I've died on it twice with about 3 seconds left until capture, once with ReimuA. I will capture this eventually...probably some point after I finally get Catadioptric. Why I've managed to capture Maze of Love by going around in circles but can't get that simple dodging card is beyond me.
-
Because Maze of Love is actually easy; the dodging cards require actual dodging.
-

Cranberry Trap I'm about 50% on, FOur of a Kind I'm about 90% on, Kagome Kagome I'm about 80% on, Starbow Break I'm about 60% on, Philosopher's Stone I'm about 50% on, Silent Selene I'm about 90% on.
All of those are dodging cards right, so why can't I get that one?
Finally cleared 9-6 in DS.
-

Because its a lot harder than those. I don't play the Extra a lot so I can't really give you exact figures but I suspect it would be something like 99% on all of those but QED... well, my capture rate is 6/36. Very low for an extra card so I wouldn't call it a 'simple dodging card'.
-
Starbow Break capture!
Is it weird that I've come really close to capturing Q.E.D. twice but not close at all to capping ATWTBN?
-
How close is really close? Its usually not before the final few seconds it gets really cruel. Doesn't sound too weird though. You probably just have a wrong approach to ATTWBN. You'll just need to learn the pattern.
-
Personally, Catadioptric gave me more trouble than QED when I was doing that.
also silent selene is totally harder than philosopher's stone, ffffuuuuuu
-
I don't find Catadioptric that difficult - just like stay in the same area and play it safe.
At some point I forgot how to do ATTWBN and start screwing up the blue phase lol.
I find that QED is already significantly hard for me by the time the health goes down to 1/3,
and usually I have to try to concentrate really hard to read so I get close to capturing, and often times die in the last second.
I capture Silent Selene more often than Philosopher's Stone, cuz sometimes I get lucky enough that I don't wall off myself.
However, I can't judge them too much since my capture rate on both are really abysmal.
-
All right, 1st Lunatic 1cc for PCB with 3 lives in stock too
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16085
Now I want to do it again with ReimuB
-
Catadioptric is easy, I cap it every time. And I haven't even capped Q.E.D yet.
Also I don't like micro dodging Maze of Love without a hitbox, it makes me paranoid.
And Congrats Ozzy, I'll hopefully be getting a lunatic 1cc sometime soon.
-
Well since I'm here, I thought I would post a ridiculous lunatic 1cc by a friend of mine who's not a member of the forum. He 1cced PCB Lunatic with 7 Lives in Stock all the while making all sorts of stupid mistakes and erratic movements. This run has some of the most hax luck I've ever seen, including several perfectly timed borders that saved him multiple times.
Despite the strange and erratic movement, he insists that it's not tool-assisted but rather was the result of a run that was never supposed to succeed (which means he was fooling around for a good part of it). Somehow he never seemed to notice how well he was doing until about stage 5. He himself admits that this run was a freak accident and will probably never happen again. Well whether freak accident or not, this run is certainly something to see:

Sounds like PCB in a nutshell to me. It sounds like a run that's worth watching though.
EDIT:
Alright. Ozzy. The only thing ridiculous about that run is that your friend thought anyone would take it seriously.
Could we perhabs get a few other qualified players to have a look at that run? I for one think it looks like a very blatant piece of TAS work. If not his 'erratic' movements gave it away, his handling of certain cards certainly does.

It was a pretty darn consistent freak accident. Not buying it for one second.
-
What does he use as the controller? I sure as damn can't even dream of precision-tapping half as fast as he does routinely, and I'm pretty sure the input doesn't even react that fast. See Lily's opener. The run is full of the most insane micrododging I've ever seen.
This Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkDespair5 (my bad if it's not the same person (or if it's Ozzy who just uploaded the replay his friend sent him)) has some single spellcard videos that don't have a trace of the superhuman movement in the PCB replay.

Hey uses a keyboard as far as I know. And that is his channel, I uploaded the replay to Gensokyo.org under that name on purpose. Like I said, I'm just telling you all what he told me. He claims it isn't TAS, but to be honest, I never saw him do it myself so I can't be 100% certain.
-
Somehow he never seemed to notice how well he was doing until about stage 5. He himself admits that this run was a freak accident and will probably never happen again. Well whether freak accident or not, this run is certainly something to see:
I think this is a phenomenon sometimes attributed to playing/performing under the influence of either drugs and/or alcohol. At least I read of it in the context of pitching in baseball, where the pressure really starts getting to the pitcher once he starts to actually realize he's on a real streak. I think the case was the one of Dock Ellis, who managed to get a no hitter under the influence of LSD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_Ellis#June_12.2C_1970_no-hitter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_Ellis#June_12.2C_1970_no-hitter).
Well, either that or TAS I'd think, but who am I to judge people? Haven't watched his run, so if it isn't blatantly obvious, I'd probably give him the benefit of the doubt.
-
When I first saw that replay I called it out as a TAS as well, for a lot of the same reasons Zengeku did.
Alright. Ozzy. The only thing ridiculous about that run is that your friend thought anyone would take it seriously.

Even now he insists that it was a freak accident and will never happen again.
He re-watched it after I pointed it out, and agrees that it looks like one. Personally I'd like to see him weigh in on the matter and respond to this.
Would said cards be Eternal Truth and Repoistory of Hirowaka?
Also missing Alice's 1up and then still reaching max lives irked me.
He later tried to do an all cards captured 50% speed TAS run of PCB lunatic and failed on one of Chen's.
Programs I know he had on his computer at the time of the 'hax run' were CheatEngine (I later tested it, and it does show framerate drops, although it showed 60, 59, 60, 15, 60, so it isn't 100% accurate and with sufficient luck- or no vpatch[?] no drop would be registered by the game), and a program which he told me could be used to savestate Touhou. Also, there are Skype logs where he posted milestones of where he was, and they were spaced out in such a way so that if they were honest 'checkpoints', PCB could have been running at no less than around 40 FPS through Stages 5 and 6 assuming no pauses.
(playing devil's advocate here)
The videos on his channel are all a month, or more, older than the PCB replay. Even if the odds of sometihng happening are .000000001%, the odds of the event happening eventually approach 1.
Like I said, I'm just telling you all what he told me. He claims it isn't TAS, but to be honest, I never saw him do it myself so I can't be 100% certain.
I can vouch for this, he told me the same things. Even if the run was a fluke, he should at least be able to 1cc it again without too much difficulty. He says that he 'freezes and messes up' if people are watching, which I guess can be true, but it shouldn't cause 7 additional lives to be lost.
Of course, there's no proof either way, a lot of suspicion towards it being a TAS and one of my best friends adamantly insisting it isn't. As much as i want to trust him it's kind of hard to, given the evidence.
I'd bet it's most likely a TAS and he's too embarrassed on being called out on it to admit it.
-
Calling TAS too, based mainly on how much the player moves by doing single frame long taps in many places.
-
TASing is fine. Trying to pass it off as a legit run isn't.
Remember that one Touhou tournament week? :d
-
I'd bet it's most likely a TAS and he's too embarrassed on being called out on it to admit it.
I think so too. You can tell your friend that he should just bite the bullet and admit it. Get it over with and then promise to not do it again. Cheating like that serves no point, experienced players sees through it instantaneously.
-
So I just installed Imperishable Night in this new computer. I'd been putting it off for a while because I was busy messing with SA.
Anyway, what better way to break it in than this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16103). IN Easy Mode, Magic Team, no focus, no deaths, only a single deathbomb (curse you Game of Life, I would have picked Kaguya if this weren't a new file). Even capped Hourai Elixir with Marisa's unfocused speed.
One of these days I might try for a no focus perfect with the Scarlet Team just to humiliate IN Easy even more.
-

I'll tell him, though he adamantly continues to insist that it's legit. Sigh, I don't know what to. Sorry for posting what's probably fake run, just wanted to see if anyone could corroborate his claim.
-
Don't worry. If you just keep replying with an equally adamant 'Yeah right' then everything will be fine. ;)
Oh and I have an accomplishment I suppose. Since Koishi handed me a game over, i think last week, I promised i would prepare a rape train to take revenge... and uh, it was succesful. I managed to perfect her. Just like that. Feels good to get her out of the way. I guess Mamizou is next.
-
No doubt that replay is TASed. The two easy ways to expose any replay of this kind are the erratic, impossibly fast movements reminiscent of PoFV's
cheating computers, and that the player doesn't approach any of the attacks the way you're supposed to (assuming you can do anything other than just dodge). I've seen other replays like this before, and all of them seem to do stupid things like staying way up high during Yuyuko's fourth card. And I'm just throwing this out there, you do not survive that long on the Stage 6 spam without knowing what you're doing (and yes, there are things you can do to ease the pain). It's so obvious they can't play these games worth shit that they'll do anything to pretend like they're better at PCB than HS. Go and tell him, along with what Zengeku said, that if he's willing to sit down and practice bullet hell games the right way, people here and elsewhere will be more than happy to give him advice where he needs it.
-
Just got my first GFW extra clear that ended with %1000 motivation.
Well it was %964 but that was because of motivation draining lasers so it doesn't count.

Wow that's incedible, my friend recently cleared that and he said it was probably the hardest extra boss in all the games. I can't even 1cc normal in that game.
-
It's really easy if you know when to freeze.
I can pretty much do it even when messing around.
I think my first clear had at least %200 motivation too.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tKPDexkMM It's possible to clear Ex with 1000%. I think it's because you have to bomb the last card.....
-
First VoWG cap "recorded". This was also done right after my score.dat reset itself, so the history is 1/2.
PCB Ultra 1cc as well.
-
I'm paused right in the middle of a UFO run because this has actually caused me to start shaking, so I'm waiting until I have tea to help relax me until I continue on towards Makai, but I've captured Sinker Ghost for the first time ever - the pressure was because beating Minamitsu Murasa would give the last life piece to put me up to the full 8 lives.
I don't care if I don't beat Byakuren this time, I'm saving a replay. If I do beat Byakuren, though... expect a post just a little bit later with the replay, otherwise I'll add the replay here.
-
you can actually hold 9 lives in UFO-the additional one is so that additional fragments aren't lost.
That being said, best of luck on the rest of your run.
I can also relate to shaking, it happened to me 3 times during my first 1cc of SA: going into Orin, going into Stage 6, and going into Utsuho. I must have had the game paused for at least 10 minutes so I could calm down enough to think clearly.
-
As promised - This, finally, rounds out my sweep. All Touhou games 1CC'd on Normal, all final bosses defeated. Byakuren Hijiri was taken down with an unprecedented (for me) triple spellcard capture of Devil's Recitation, St. Nikou's Air Scroll, and Flying Fantastica. Shou... wasn't so lucky. I almost had Most Valuable Vajra captured but, then again, I pretty much went "fuck it" to Absolute Justice and Demon of Purification.
Here is proof, of both the Sinker Ghost capture and my victory against Byakuren: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16118

How close is really close? Its usually not before the final few seconds it gets really cruel. Doesn't sound too weird though. You probably just have a wrong approach to ATTWBN. You'll just need to learn the pattern.
It's the first part that gets me. I can't figure out a pattern that doesn't get me walled.
The annoying thing is that I've cleared both the first part and the second without bombing or dying in different runs but I can't seem to put those two together >>
-
I never really use a path even, I just kind of run into the corners and a path will eventually open up.

There is actually quite a simple path I use to create openings about 95% of the time. When the card begins, move to the upper left corner. When Flandre begins chasing you, move down to the lower left corner. When she moves again, move to the lower right, then upper right, etc. You may need to make some tight squeezes, but you will never be walled with movements like these.
EDIT: In regards to the PCB replay posted before, it is most definitely tool-assisted, no doubts about it. I'm rather sensitive to the stigma of having your run called a fake since I was accused of such a couple years back, but it makes me all the more angry at the people who try to pass stuff like this as real. I only watched stage 3, but quite simply you cannot chalk that up to "spastic dodging and getting lucky," because what he did not even humanly possible. Even if I tried for hours I could not move with such precision, and unfocused at that. If you were to watch a world record run played by the people most intimate with every part of the game, you wouldn't see such precise movement. That, much more than the accusations of "not knowing what he was doing" marks him as a cheater.
-
What are you saying Donut? He just got really damn lucky every single frame of a 20 minute run. That's not that unlikely is it?
I never really use a path even, I just kind of run into the corners and a path will eventually open up.
This pretty much. Just go for the corners and move alongside the edges of the screen.
-
PoFV lunatic 1cc, with Aya.
Stages 1-5 were no deaths, Stage 6 died to Marisa, Stage 7 had 2 deaths to Medicine, Komachi went down FIRST ROUND IN 53 SECONDS, then I beat Shikieiki second round, no hits until about a minute in to it.
I can't believe it.
replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16119
-
Not that you shouldn't be proud of your accomplishment, but it's necessary to inform you that among all the characters in PoFV, Aya has a particular advantage in story mode. Without going into all the mechanics, the AI can't handle Aya's EX shot, and therefore she can kill any boss with ease. You shouldn't feel like this is not a legitimate 1cc - it is - but perhaps if you're aiming for it you should try with another character.
-
Ah, yes. Remilia bites it again, for the first time since my data reset.
._.
....Flandre Time....
-

I knew this already, but even against humans Aya is my favorite to use. I'd use her for the story even if the EX attack wasn't OP. I know Medicine also has an advantage, but I don't use her because I don't find her fun. If I were to redo this, I'd probably use Marisa.
On that note, a MarisaB laserspam MoF lunatic 1cc is technically 'legitimate', but I'm not counting it as a 1cc because it's abusing gamebreaking bug/code typo.
Also, my prior attempts had several deaths to Komachi; I had ridiculous amounts of luck there. I probably won't redo this, due to said ridiculous amounts of luck. Now I just have to beat the extra...
-
On that note, a MarisaB laserspam MoF lunatic 1cc is technically 'legitimate', but I'm not counting it as a 1cc because it's abusing gamebreaking bug/code typo.
Um, a MarisaBugged 1cc is not legitimate for precisely the reason you said, it uses a game-breaking bug.
EDIT: Did a random attempt at UFO Stage 5 (well, just the stage portion) because I was feeling a bit masochistic, and I captured the red bullet spam near the end.
-
I knew this already, but even against humans Aya is my favorite to use. I'd use her for the story even if the EX attack wasn't OP.
IIRC her special ability is to slow down bullets that enter that field thingy in front of you. That's why I picked her for my 1cc. Didn't even know she was broken at the time. :V
-
Um, a MarisaBugged 1cc is not legitimate for precisely the reason you said, it uses a game-breaking bug.
By legitimate I meant not hacking the game, and only using tricks/glitches within the bounds of the game. I've been hanging around speedrunning crowds too long, where anything goes as long as you don't screw with the hardware or alter the game or use a cheat. GLitches are fair game there.
-
I 1cc'd Sanae Story Mode in Hisoutensoku Lunatic! \o/
Spamming 623 Kanako's Wind (lv4) with four control rods just annihilated everything.
I lost all my lives at Suwako's last card, but I don't think it matters.
Hooorayy for beating Bullet Whores, the sequel Hisoutensoku's BS story mode!
-
I finally 1cc'd MoF Hard for the first time. With Reimu A.
I only did it because my score.dat reset itself and I wanted to unlock Suwackers again.
-
PCB 90 FPS extra clear, almost managed to capture Descent of Izuna Gongen. Had 1/4 at the clear.
-
Captured Scarlet Meister Ultra and the preceding noncard in an actual run. In her defence the rank was lowered from dying to Vampire Illusion, you should see the noncard on max rank... I'm pretty sure the bubbles exceed speed of light. Remi got the last word in, but she's going down any day now. (http://666kb.com/i/bxe7k16gfn0d3meze.jpg)
-
FW Ultra Extra clear.
Um... I think ~645% motivation at the end, but I can't really check right now... (http://i.imgur.com/I20XB.png)
-
Finally 1cc'd touhou 13 normal with sanae.
All i need to do now is 1cc EoSD, SA, and UFO
I like to run into bullets a lot
-
I went through one of the blue bullet walls in Xanadu of Straight and Curve. At 90 FPS. With Sakuya.
Now I just need to not choke and die with bombs in stock left and right....I should practice Danmaku Bounded Field at 90 FPS. To spell practice!
-
Played UFO Extra during lunch break and perfected the stage again. Slowly getting back into the swing of things here.
-
I should practice Danmaku Bounded Field at 90 FPS. To spell practice!
First try at Yukari's last word, dodged 6/10 waves.
Since I had 90 FPS spell practice ready, I then went and:
capped Fader at 90 FPS in one try.
capped Astronomical Entombing at 90 FPS in about 6 tries.
capped Ephemerality 137 at 90 FPS after about 40-50 tries.
The real question here is why is a Stage 3 card harder than a Stage 6 card?
-
So I just cleared PCB Extra again, with Reimu B.
Captured Princess Tenko and Descent of Izuna, finishing with 3 lives in stock.
-
Ten Desire Hard 1cc ! (https://p.twimg.com/Aar8utUCQAAEsow.png)
-
VoWG hard capture! :D
on windowed mode ???
Now I feel like I should capture the rest of the MoF hard spells.
-
Oh man have I been gunning for this for a while.
1st Phantasm clear Reimu B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16150)
Man, excitement!
-
So Phantasmagoria Trues got finished recently.
Here's a run through Standard through all the unseen areas. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnkZz1z-A2E)
-
Finally cleared PCB Extra with Sakuya A, capturing Descendent as well.
Also got up to BoH&Y in Phantasm but damn, this whole stage is hell. No way is Phantasm easier than Extra.
-

The stage isn't, but some of Yukari's spells are much easier than Ran's counterparts.
-
Namely, Xanadu of Straight and Curve, right? :P
I got to stage 4 on MoF Lunatic!! :V
Shut up. For me that is an achievement.
...I have to go and clear IN twice again so I can find Mokou and prove to someone here (Forgot who it was, sorry) how bad I am at Possessed by Phoenix.
I'll post when that happens...
-
Namely, Xanadu of Straight and Curve, right? :P
Maybe. I never had any troubles with Ran's version nor Yukari's.
Also. Yukari's 2nd one seems easier than Ran's 2nd and one of my friends tells me that the survival is a bit harder with Ran than Yukari. I don't know about that though.
-
I have more captures in Humans & Youkai than Kokkuri-san. Also, Yukari's spiriting away is easier than Princess Tenko IMO
-
Maybe it's because the H&Y blues fly faster than the KS ones and create larger gaps... ?
Princess Tenko is also probably harder because it isn't nearly as orderly as Spiriting Away~
-
But you have a smaller area to dodge in on BoHaY
-
I find Princess Tenko and Xanadu of Straight and Curve easier, but the rest are harder. Her 2nd card looks easy in replays but I can't seem to do it properly in actual gameplay. From what I've seen of it, BoH&Y seems harder because it involves more diagonal movement.
I would be able to beat Phantasm if I could just get the stage and her first card down, though.
-
You're not forced to move diagonally in BoHaY. It tries to trick you into doing so, but if you do you're pretty much asking to be hit. There's more than enough time to use vertical and horizontal movement on that part and avoiding diagonal movement.
As for me which cards are easier
1st card: Ran
2nd: Yukari
3rd: Ran
4th: Yukari
5th: Equally Easy
6th: Equally Easy
7th: Ran
8th : Yukari's
Survival: Ran's
Final: Yukari's(I've safespotted it more times than I've safespotted Ran's. About equally hard otherwise)
And of course Ran doesn't have the second survival. It's been so long since I played PCB, so I don't remember if it was Mesh of Light and Dark/Youkai Laser or Xanadu/Charming Siege that came first. 3rd and 4th may need to be switched if I screwed up the order, but I don't think I did. hell, I may have gotten the number of cards wrong.
-
Both Ran and Yukari's second cards are memo, but if you ask me Yukari's is a bit harder to understand at first, so I'd give the edge to that one. And Yukari's 8th isn't easier. You have to be constantly misdirecting Ran, whereas you get big breaks in between Chen's few trips to the bottom. I think the 9th and 10th cards for both are also close enough to call them equal. Other than that, Enigma's list is pretty much the accepted order of difficulty for everything.
-
YES (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16158)
utsuho can EAT IT~
Also, a score of 310,000,000.
No idea how.
-
I'd say Ran's version of the survival card is easier because I have 2 captures of it-one of which was no focus. Yukari's version I've never captured, nor aced more than one phase (beginning, moving, end) in a run.
Mountain of Faith easy capture! Also Kanako's 4th spell on easy captured, both of which are harder than the normal versions.
-
I've captured Kokurri-san, twice.
Not so with BoHaY.
Probably because of the atmosphere.
Also, I forgot to mention, but I captured Subterranean Sun in that last replay
How that escaped me is anyone's guess but STILL
tears of blood in the extra stage though god damn where the hell are my extends
-
And Yukari's 8th isn't easier. You have to be constantly misdirecting Ran, whereas you get big breaks in between Chen's few trips to the bottom.
I always found Yukari's version easier when I used to play that stage regularly. Ran being aimed for you is no problem at all but Chen's pattern comes off as more unpredictable. Even when playing the two cards today, I usually capture them regardless of the version but Chen sometimes surprises me by moving in a way I didn't expect it to.
-

There's a reason the meme is "CHEEEEEEEEN!!!!" and not "RAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!"

You can stream Kanako's 4th vertically and kill it before you reach the bottom of the screen :V
Her 3rd card can be captured without moving away from the bottom center of the screen, it's cool when it works.

-

Mind demonstrating that? I'd actually be a bit interested in it. Its the only easy card in the series I can't capture consistently.
-
As for me which cards are easier
1st card: Ran
2nd: Yukari
3rd: Ran
4th: Yukari
5th: Equally Easy
6th: Equally Easy
7th: Ran
8th : Yukari's
Survival: Ran's
Final: Yukari's(I've safespotted it more times than I've safespotted Ran's. About equally hard otherwise)
For me
Dreams/Reality is harder, I can't seem to get this one consistently
Motion/Silence is slightly harder. I captured Ran's on my first try, while Yukari's took a few tries, and I still haven't done it non-homing, which would be worse
Mesh is way harder
Xanadu is easier, though I often get clipped in it. I've captured it more than Charming Siege though
5th cards are both jokes
6th cards are also jokes
For the 7th card I haven't captured either, and it's mostly bombspam for me
Shikigami Chen took quite a few times for me to figure out, but it's still easier than misdirecting Ran for me. I think I nearly timed out Shikigami Ran before (unintentionally)
BoHaY is slightly carder, not like I've captured either
I refuse to safespot BoLaD, and probably can't do it anyway. Both are hard, but BoLaD wins due to the extra phase.
And Yukari's Arcanum just screws me.
-
Wow, it's been a while since I 1cc'd UFO.
Cleared with 3 lives left (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16171). So very close to no-miss Byakuren. :c
-
Mind demonstrating that? I'd actually be a bit interested in it. Its the only easy card in the series I can't capture consistently.
Here you go! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16172) Start close to her and stream downwards, really slowly. Look at the arrow shots for an opening to make it work no horizontal.
-
Oh... yeah, I didn't have full power when I reached it. Bombed my way through to speed things up. It doesn't look very reliable though. Kanako random movement, not having power enough, moving a bit too fast. I think i'd rather do it the normal way... if I played easy mode anyway. ;)
-
My spell capture history on Illusionary Dominance (hard) is 3/3. Might as well see if I can get PWG.
-
Last night during the downtime, I finally no death clear'd 10D extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16167). With that, I've regained my bragging rights accomplishment of having beat every Windows stage on lunatic without dying. -v-
-
Here's a timeout of Mamizou's Overdrive. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7447212/thReplay/th13_udMA0V.rpy)
Are the birds actually supposed to be that random, or is there a way to time this card out without a bit of luck?
-
Mountain of Faith hard 1cc, with ReimuB. Finally got around to going for it with a shot type other than ReimuA.
Stage 1: perfect
Stage 2: according to plan, aside from a death to Hina's last nonspell.
Stage 3: would have liked to have captured Hydro Camouflage and Exteeeending Aaaarm, but no deaths is good.
Stage 4: 1 bomb Aya wut (to the last nonspell)
Stage 5: 4/5 spells captured, only missed Sanae's first boss card, which I died TWICE to, lowering my faith from 800k+ to 400k
Stage 6: no deaths until VoWG, ended with a final score of around 625 million. Without the 3 easily avoidable deaths that could have been a billion, and I don't scorerun.

Finally capped Thousand Needle Mountain (on lunatic). I've never capped it on hard though. :derp: The practice run was failed though from clipping, but I'm still happy I pulled that off. I don't know why I have issues with that card when that cap was no effort.

When I post videos on youtube, I upscale them to something stupid like 1920x1440 (nearest neighbour). That's probably overkill, but even just scaling to 1280x960 will make it look good at both 720p and 480p. I also go overkill on the bitrate, but whatever.

Mountain of Faith lunatic attempt, and I'm never getting another run like that again.
It's a meh to bad run, I get to Stage 6 with no lives, PoC to get the 150,000,000 point life, die as a result of said PoC, get to Kanako with 4 power, have to bomb her first spell, and then...zen. I managed to reach VoWG lunatic without continuing, I know I can 1cc this lunatic now, it's just a matter of learning how to not bomb everything Minoriko has.

You can easily play the english patched version while still using vsync. Just rename the english file th10 and call the japanese version th10j or something. vsync launches the th10 one even if its the english patched one.

Nice run of EoSD Extra after not having played in forever. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16213)

So, I finally captured the last of Ran's spellcards... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16215)
ReimuB, as is my custom with these games. Not as good a run as usual, but I'm proud.
-
oh hey first round Shikieiki, normal. If I didn't derp Komachi that'd have been a 1LC.
-
And the rape train succeeds. When bosses I declare easy suddenly start to act up, I strike back with no mercy!!!
So yeah, uhh... Its PCB Stage 5 perfect I guess. Hell God Sword was an odd matter. I used to be pretty consistent at it but this time it just outright refused to budge. A translation of that sentence would be I flew right into huge bullets i had seen several seconds ago on several occasions for some reason believing their hitboxes to be smaller. Its still a fun spell. Then of course there is the rest of her cards that are just really easy and two pseudo-static non-spells.
ZUN needs to do more cards like Asura Sword except with difficulty added into the mix. Say, an Overdrive version of it. Or rather, screw that statement. Asura Sword is a great example of an easy card done right! Something that might benefit the series if were to return to replace the current trend of having a bunch of really hard and fun spells and then right after those/or before those you have something that doesn't even have the slightest bit of difficulty. A good example being Orin. First card, challenging and fun dodging (granted you do it the manly way of course) and then right after that something you seriously can't loose. Utsuho. Peta Flare. Then Ten Evil Stars. Whut? - In short. ZUN needs to bring back the entertainment value to the obligatory easy cards there always have to be.

EoSD Ultra Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HJVaUaESSY) is up. The sound is a bit poor for some reason, but it ended up looking alright EDIT: it desyncs towards the end, and that's Youtube's fault... :ohdear:.
This is the last of this forums Ultra mode clears among the integer numbered Windows games.

Another fighting game lunatic 1cc.
This time with Cirno.
Previous attempt I lost all three lifebars on Okuu and then GO'ed but this time I didn't die at all till Alice.

PoFV extra clear, had 5 lives in stock going into Reimu.
I fail at Reimu, died 3 times.
2 words sum up this: "FREAKING FINALLY!"

Phantasm Trues Standard 1cc!
The accomplishment is appeasing the game in some way good enough for it to let me into stage 6.

Mountain of Faith Extra Clear, ReimuC, no visible hitbox.
And I scored higher than my (only) normal run.

I'll take it.

Heh, funny that you're the most recent poster in here, I've been trying IN extra at 90 FPS lately...and failed to Hourai Doll for the third time out of three that didn't restart before the end of Keine.
What's different about this run is I captured Possessed by Phoenix.

I'm going to ask which shot you're using now~
Although Possessed by Phoenix. You're making me jealous. :ohdear:
Anyways, I like my last run, and I even captured Mishaguji, Suwa War, and Froggy Braves the Elements so I'mma go record it now.
Went and played some SA Hard Stage 6. Captured Utsuho's last three cards, which I'm fairly happy with.
Did I mention it was with no visible hitbox?
-
I recently 1cc'd Mountain of Faith on Normal with Reimu A, B and Marisa A.
Right now practicing the Extra Stage with Reimu A. :)

Border Team, although I've considered switching to Magic Team, because Alice can deal a lot of damage to Mokou when she has the bird out, and even Ghost Team because spread and Youmu is epic.
Yeah, I couldn't believe I got it either, especially since I had nothing in stock for it. That run would have cleared had I not derp-derp-derped Fujiyama Volcano...that spell is evil at 90 FPS.

While it's not a game related accomplishment, I managed to actually go fan-art hunting for hours last night.
'Twas wonderful.

EoSD lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16255) Second game in which I've managed that. Read: it's ugly. But mama loves it.

[10:53] hydoc: it's like i have multiple-player disorder i'm so inconsistent

Mama loves it? Yeah... okay. Congratulations with it anyway. EoSD is tough. Nice one.

PCB Phantasm clear with Sakuya A! That was really out of the blue and I screwed up really badly on her second, third and sixth cards. However, I did manage to do the whole last phase of BoH&Y without moving (I was seriously expecting to die but it looks like I found a safespot) and then I capped BoLaD because I safespotted it. First time ever facing that card though - it's nice to have a 1/1 history on an Extra/Phantasm card. Danmaku Bounded Field went really badly; I bombed the first wave because I had no idea when to get out of the center, dodged the 2nd wave and again had no idea what to do on wave 3 so I died. The last two were just done by bombing.
I need Imperishable Night so I can unlock Yukari's last word >>

Congrats on your clear. What I did to clear the PCB portion of Yukari's LW was watch replays over and over, either on IN or on YouTube. Just search for videos and watch the first half to get an idea of what to do. I personally avoid staying at the center during the card.
-
Practicing lunatic MoF Stage 4 a bit, end up capturing 3 of Aya's spells in the same run when I'd never captured any of them before.
I didn't get Storm Day, so PEERLESS WIND GOD CAPTURE!
1/4 history feels good on that.

Re-cleared UFO Extra with
surprisingly
relative ease.
-
I just pulled off (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16300) a UFO Normal 1cc with ReimuA. I had been trying for ages with MarisaA, but when I tried someone else it worked much better.
-
I just did my best PCB clear yet - no-death run up to the Prismrivers' last card, two lives lost on Youmu and two on Yuyuko. And it was with Marisa B, the shot type I hadn't completed PCB with default lives with yet. Later on I beat the extra stage with that same shot type. Now I just need to clear the stage with MariB and I'll have all the characters for Phantasm.
-

For me it was sort of the opposite (for my first clear).
I ttried with SanaeA, didn't like much, SanaeB, kept dying, ReimuA, kept failing stages, ReimuB, almost cleared several times, and then I randomly tried with MarisaA, having never seen either Marisa shot type used.
I 1cced.
90 FPS phantasm is something I know I can do now, I just need to not derp with bombs in stock. Got to (and captured) Ran before failing to BoHaY. Went to IN spell practice and dodged the first 6 waves of Yukari's Last Word at 90 FPS, so I can count on a Bounded Field capture, leaving only BoLaD to worry about.

I personally think UFO's ReimuB is one of the coolest and best amulet Reimus in the series. Maybe it's because the amulets feel so floaty and the way Fantasy Seal got represented as a not terribly weak bomb.

First MarisaA Ran clear
Man that was weird
Since when does dying cost less cherries than bombs
I was almost inclined at a few points to die rather than bomb because of it
And I almost captured Izuna Gongen -_-
-
Shikieiki's extra clear first try.
I was putting it off due to Reimu being the final boss, but ended up failing Sakuya as many times as Reimu, at 3 apiece. Yay first round Aya battle.
-
I haven't been following, but has anyone cleared SA Ultra Extra?
-
Not as far as I know. Me and Aizo managed to get to Embers of Love which seems pretty impossible. It would probably be possible to make it past that but clearing seems out of the question.
-
It's impossible to pass Embers of Love. Hell, it's even impossible to take out half of her lifebar.
-
Yeah. That's pretty much my estimation too. The entire screen becomes a death zone where you die immediately upon spawning.
Now, I haven't had too many resources left since most of the stuff before it is pretty ridiculous as well but just not AS ridiculous.
----------------- IN related stuff.
Just went in and tried it and it seems I can still perfect Marisa and Keine without trouble. There are some inconsistencies with both though. Keine's Ephemerality (because i often get this strange idea that I can dodge it without blowing up familiars - shouldn't be troublesome if just i shoot the familiars. Her last spell is also weird for me but that is irrelevant since you won't lose any resources on it. Marisa. Capture the 2nd non-spell and watch the rest of the fight take care of itself. I've had too much practice for this fight since its kinda awesome. I want to 1cc this game without bombs perhabs. If so, I should go up against Eirin since her attacks seems to be less about luck and crappy cards, instead opting to focus on pure dodging.
-
So close,
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6320/asdvu.th.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/asdvu.png/)
immense luck and wall hacks were used. So it is possible to pass it with at least two deaths.
EDIT: Passed Embers of Love, then game overed on Genetics (which is almost the same as the original one) with one star away from the extend. Also, almost capture 2 of Koishi's nonspells (2nd and 3rd I think) and Rorschach.
-
1D1B Eirin... Its progress. Just too bad the failures were at the two final cards. Still, not too bad. I'll need some more practice to get decent at her though. I would like to regain my consistency at Astronomical Entombing. You can usually dodge it pretty much the same way everytime iirc with the direction bullets are coming from being fixed. I think. Apollo 13... just need to get better I guess. The rest of the battle shouldn't be too terribly hard.
-
Yeah, I knew Embers of Love is a huge wall, but it didn't seem completely impossible to pass, just very hard. (Entering it with full power seemed like a must.) But who knows what comes after... :3
-
I've passed Embers of Love only to fail on her survival (I don't have her movements memorized). Nereid's right, entering Embers of Love with full power is very important (but not completely essential, this run I didn't).

So having my SA score.dat file randomly reset itself is motivating me to return to the game. I'm focusing on scoring this time, and after a number of tries over the course of the day I was able to apply what I know so far and get past Stage 2 (only 30k graze though). Getting past the first half of Stage 3 is gonna be the hard part for me, but it's nice to know I won't have to spend a ton of time getting back into this. Still, the score.dat reset stings. I hate faulty programming.

random EoSD extra run, 8 cards captured, including Catadioptric.
It's about time I capped that.
Also, Maze of Love second capture (run in circles, this time without homing), survival card second capture.

Hey, everyone uses ReimuA. She isn't broken, the others just each seem to have their parts they are completely suboptimal at. Congratulations with your clear.
EoSD and UFO is up next huh? Its gonna get tough you know. Good luck with it.

Woo, finally 1cc'd SA Normal! I'm pretty proud that I had no deaths until the very last second or so of "Rekindling of Dead Ashes", though I screwed up "Hell and Heaven Meltdown" and "Subterranean Sun" pretty bad. :<
Also, Last Remote's a pretty awesome theme.

SA Ultra Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16351)
-
Managed to pacify Astronomical Entombing all the way down to 15 seconds. Then I messed up. Bugger. Well, its nice to actually get that far. When I was going seriously for it I could never survive more than down to 50 seconds. I guess I can pull off a timeout of this one if I get serious about it. That's why Spell Practice is awesome. As much as Eirin's fight is, mostly, good it would be pretty tedious to play through to attempt a timeout of the final card.
SA Ultra Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16351)
Cool. Let's watch Naut die and bomb his way to victory. :]
EDIT: I assume you have a good reason for stalling Subterreanean Rose. Was it because something really nasty happens after it or because you just wanted to win decided to wait it out on the easy part?
Other than that, good performance on the attacks that actually allows such. I like what they did with Genetics.
-
EDIT: I assume you have a good reason for stalling Subterreanean Rose. Was it because something really nasty happens after it or because you just wanted to win decided to wait it out on the easy part?
Nasty nasty. You saw what happened with the first wave of SR, aye? Imagine similar stuff for the third wave, except the bullet explosion rose things affect more bullets so there isn't anywhere reasonable to go. Stalling out the second phase is the only way to beat that card with one life, or have absurd gdlk timing. And even then...

Fuck yeah

PCB Extra no-bombs!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16354) Got my first caps on all the cards I was missing and cleared with 3 lives remaining. Wooooooooooo~! :getdown:
-
UFO Lunatic no bomb no UFO clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16355)
Silly deaths... Stage three circle faires. Stage five red orb spam. Shou's opener (oh God). Byakuren's Light Magic "Magic Milky Way" and Great Magic "Devil's Recitation."

Hey Naut have you ever tried the final phase of Subterranean Rose on Ultra?
Never again....(even though I've done it twice(lolinfinitelivestoo)).
-
Captured Guse Flash, Yoshika's last card, and Mamizou's last card.
Stupid stupid lasers - keep clipping them.
Also, WTF at the last 2-3 seconds of Mamizou's last card. Thanks to Reimu homing, I barely made it. Any strategy to deal with it?
SA Ultra Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16351)
Holy shit. Didn't expect this to happen so quickly.
lolol Embers of Death. The noncard before Rorschach is also pretty impossible too.

No sir. Make a video or something, lessee.
Also, Subterranean Animism Ultra Extra clear video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1pD4reRZE)

No sir. Make a video or something, lessee.
It will be a while. Please wait warmly~
The whole video together is 27 minutes long.
EDIT: I'm trying to publish the video with WMM but it keeps making the Internet stuff up. I can try and take a picture instead.
EDIT EDIT: I did both the third and the fourth phase too.[attachimg=1 width=200][attachimg=2 width=200]
-
<pictures>
...Mother of God.
-
Inorite.
I might also mention that in the 4th phase even the normal bullets by themselves can form a wall. Remember that all of the waves are varying speeds.
-
Holy crap, that looks impossible. Well done.
Which reminds me, has anyone cleared UFO Ultra Extra yet?
-
Holy crap, that looks impossible. Well done.

Yes, it's pretty much the same besides Kogasa and some Nue nonspells
-
Got some of the Ultra patches played a bit.
MoF normal-5 lives to spare
PCB normal-2 deaths, one to the changes to Reflowering, the other the S6 stage portion
PCB extra-clear with a life to spare
Ten Desires normal-clear with a bomb to spare, got destroyed by Stage 5 stage portion
Aside from the BS stuff, these are fun.
EDIT: oh look now I'm 1/1 on Sanae's first boss spell on hard...on ultra, and I've never captured the standard version.
EDIT #2: hahahaha lol MoF ultra extra blind clear. Jade of the Horrid River capture, 1 bomb Suwa War.
-
PCB Ultra Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16328) and Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16327) cleared. I almost captured Butterfly in Zen Temple :<
Blind PCB Ultra Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16182) run.
I need to patch the other games :V
-
PCB Extra clear with Marisa A. Now I have all the characters unlocked for Phantasm.
Also no-death Yuyuko, Normal.
-
Got no-focus tomeouts of all of Mokou's spells (Hourai Doll I focused on though) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDG1gpJCW7w
Also did the extra scenes from Double Spoiler, though thats kinda simple - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhEaSVNNubg
Yes, those are youtube links. It's ugly, but much easier then uploading a replay for every spell. (and who would want to download those anyway?)
Also timed out VoWG with only 2 deaths. >=O I'll get that flawless timout, there's no turning back now.
-
Add a Subterranean Animism ultra normal clear to the list, 2 lives to spare. For the most part it wasn't BS and was actually a legitimate challenge.
-
Hah...hah hah.
After another night of kicking and screaming at Miko, only one run ever got past her sixth spell card. That was a miserable failure, that's just to show how hopeless the night felt. But I got an inkling when I was cooling down afterwards about that hateful card: I noticed that it felt like whenever I was pushed to the left by the lasers, it would troll me by doing it two more times, every time.
...
Turns out, it doesn't seem that way; it IS that way. Not only that, but the lasers are semi-predictable. Wherever the lasers appear, on the first wave they will fire the next wave in the same formation, but shifted slightly to the left. The next wave, wherever they are fired will see the formation stay for three blasts, only angled slightly to the right. This alternates. In other words: I now know when lasers are coming at me and what to do to avoid them.
In practice, this helps surprisingly little. After all, the actual formation and initial angle is random, and you can still be screwed over by being squished in between two small waves. The amulets are still the main difficulty, and nothing will change that. But...I've cracked it. I'm one more step closer to that perfect. Ha ha ha...AH HA HA HA HA HAAAAA.

I knew this already :P
EDIT: FUCK YES! I FINALLY CLEARED SA EXTRA (no ultra)!!!
What really made me lol was that despite it being my first clear, I one death'd it.

It's good that we have people like you to figure this stuff out for us. :D
But I got an inkling when I was cooling down afterwards about that hateful card
Hey man. Its her only interesting card. Don't hate it but appreciate what you can learn from it. :3
-
lol I made it to Yuugi on Lunatic
Since when does someone do worse on Hard than Lunatic
It's this way with MoF and EoSD too
-
Charming Siege From All Sides capture.
I'm also close to beating Yukari again with Sakuya B this time; I had a friend round and I made it up to Danmaku Bounded Field before I ran into a stationary line of bullets >> *goes to watch more replays*
-
Good news: I perfected Miko at school today.
Bad news: I forgot about ZUN's cute little trick where replays aren't stored with the rest of the game's files, so the winning replay is stuck at school. Providing fate isn't an absolute asshole and wipes the hard drive clean (and for college computers these don't seem to do that very often), I can retrieve it. Even if I don't though, I...did it. Whew.

Here is a reminder that you can easily make the game portable (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Double_Spoiler/Tools#Portable_Double_Spoiler). (The link is for DS but it works for TD mutatis mutandis.)
-
Broke several high scores. S3 - 34m to 40m (yeah, it's horrible, but I barely ever touch the first three stages because Miko and co. are more fun
umad), S5 - 106m to 112m, S6 - 201m to 230m.

Upload to replays.gensokyo and retrieve it later ? :V But if the Documents & Settings folder is locked then you're out of luck
-
I randomly decided to try MoF Extra again having barely played it since beating it for the first time (about a month+ ago).
My first run proceeds to not only beat Suwako, but also with three lives in stock! I also netted my first capture of Suwa War and a near capture of Misghauji (Bombed because it was getting claustrophobic, before I looked at the health bar and found I could have captured it), and a much better than usual run of Red Frog and Froggy Braves the Elements. I managed to stupidly die to Snake Eats the Croaking Frog though, should have bombed. Now, even clearing with a non-homing shot on the other hand... ...
Replay here: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16381
(And yet I still haven't 1cc'd TD with anyone other than Reimu)
-
PCB ultra lunatic 1cc.
Sure, I started with max lives, but still finished with 2, meaning it still would have been a 1cc with default starting lives.
-
Alright, it took some hassle, but I have retrieved my replay from this school computer. Ahem...
MIKO PERFECT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. 8D (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16387)
Funny, I never wanted to get onto this ride of perfecting bosses, but out of all the shooters I only have nine bosses left...
-
FUCK YES
IN Easy, absolute perfection. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16393) No deaths, no bombs, no focus, SAKUYA.
-
FINALLY!! I have finally cleared Hourai "Fujiyama Volcano" its been over 100 tries.
-
I gave Imperishable Night's Extra another try. I got to Possessed by Phoenix this time! I might be able to clear this with some more practice. x3
-
I LOVE ULTRA FAIRY WARS!!!
It's so ridiculously fun, throws lives and bombs at you, and I've cleared routes A1 and A2 on normal.
I'm going to go for extra once I unlock it on my 'ultra' score file.
-
Aside from failing Kaguya's 2nd and 4th Last Spells, I've achieved a perfect playthrough of Imperishable Night on Easy Mode with the Border Team. It may not seem like a whole lot to a few players here, but I'm still pretty happy about it. I should have a recording of it up on YouTube soon.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16410
-
SoEW Extra clear!!!
Reimu B, finished with 1 life and 1 bomb.
-
Timed out [edit: TD] Yuyuko's 3rd card. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16420)
So hard ;;
-
You know, for a while there I thought you were talking about PCB Yuyuko. Then I was like, 'whut? Yuyuko and hard in the same sentence should not come out of Nereid's mouth"
But yeah, its pretty goddamn difficult. Isn't it just wonderful how Stage 1 bosses gets harder cards than Stage 6 bosses nowadays? :V
-
Because you have less Trance in Stage 1 ? :V
-
I always die at 17 seconds or 13 seconds.
Every time....
-
So I managed to cap Hell and Heaven Meltdown on Normal.
With MarisaA.
While staying near the middle the whole time.
With light-sensitive eyes.
When I usually bomb this card only twice on a good day.
EDIT: And while it's not nearly as much of a personal achievement, I managed to no-vertical no-focus timeout Futo's first spell on Normal in spell practice about a minute ago.

What is trances? That weird thing that happens when you die? I hardly know what that is!! Also, trances has nothing to do with the difficulty of the cards. If it had, it might've been a good system. :trollface:
-
SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16434)
a bit overdue.
Also, timed out some TD cards: Spell 12 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16422), 55 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16423), 98 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16424) and a few others not worth mentioning.
-
I can add B1, B2 and C1 to the ultra normal routes I've cleared. Time to try route C2.
-
Touhoumon Aqua+Yui Nuzlocke.
I beat down Koga without any casualties, so with Surf available, I went to Cinnabar Island.
And then I forced a delicious level 44 EFlandre to appear from the SDM, which promptly received a Master Orb to the face.
That's legal, right?
-
Time to try route C2.
1 death clear, ended with 1000% motivation.
what.
-
FREAKING FINALLY!!
SA Extra Clear.
I've been trying on and off for a couple months now. A disappointingly low number of spellcards captured though. The ironic thing is that plenty of other runs did better than that one, only to fail catastrophically at Genetics. I know I can do better so I'm going to try again sometime. But for now, I'm happy that that's one more extra down and I can finally move on to UFO.
-
completely annihilated PCB ultra easy mode in a run to capture spells to unlock Phantasm for my ultra score.dat
21 cards captured, 1204 point items collected, 5 bombs, 8/8 at the clear.
Nearly captured Reflowering too, the ultra patch makes that actually a hard spell on easy mode.
-
Flipped out my laptop on a public bus on the way home and did a UFO normal run with MarisaB.
Proceeded to no-death Stage 4 and perfect Murasa on normal. While on a bus with a laptop. :D
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16438)
Then I proceeded to derp my way through Stage 5, Game over-ing by Stage 6 Nue. Why MarisaB no give me 1cc?
-
Perfect UFO Extra stage (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16445)
-
And... 3rd clear of IN Extra, finally unlocking Imperishable Shooting with 8 captured spells. Fudged up Hollow Giant and Honest Man's Death pretty bad, along with Fujiyama's Volcano, resulting in less spare lives than the last time, but hell yeah unlocked imperishable shooting, which should get me two last words.
-
I must be having an off day when it comes to dodging things.......
Said off day applies only to dodging, I can still flail around randomly and have my trademark luck of the bullets dodge me come into play, mostly. I can also time freezes right today, because Great Fairy Wars Ultra extra clear!
-
After playing the stage off and on for about a month and a half-two months, making it to her third-to-last or second-to-last spells a few times, and overall getting myself WRECKED by her...FINALLY, Yukari goes down!
Phantasm clear with Reimu B. Finally I can say I beat every mode(Not every difficulty, of course.) in PCB!
...I DID bomb DBF for all five waves due to either panicking(I was NOT losing after making it that far!) or hitting something(At least one of those bombs was a deathbomb), but still, I got the clear which is all I really wanted.
Phew. now to grind on Hard to try and get better than a 5cc, haha.
-
Off day?
What off day?
I wasn't having an off day because EoSD no focus hard 1cc.
With first captures of Flower Dream Vine, The World and Scarlet Gensoyko. I haven't even captured Red Magic BV
-
10D all cards captured.
道符「ＴＡＯ胎動 ～道～」 broke the record for most attempts to first capture ... 1/245 omg.
The one that was the most annoying was Mamizou's last card, cuz it's easy and freaking long, until near the end where I get slaughtered.
-
MOUNTAIN OF FAITH LUNATIC 1CC!!!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16472
After countless attempts that derped the first stage, a couple that double deathed Stage 3 resulting in ragequit, this run came out of nowhere. I scored much better than ever before, didn't die to Stage 3 for the first time in an actual run, 2 deathed Stage 4 as expected for a stage practice run, derped Stage 5 a bit then had my worst ever lunatic Kanako batle before my best performance on Virtue of Wind God EVER!
I'm so pysched I got this, that's 5 lunatics down.
10D all cards captured.

Still less than it took me to get. (321 here...)
Honestly, Mamizou's survival card was more annoying to get than her last one, but the most annoying (for me) was Yoshika's last spell. Sure, it took 60 or so tries, but about 10% of those were timeouts.
-
1cc'd normal mode EosD-TD in less than a month plus up to Suwako on extra stages so far.
-
When we first met nearly four years ago Ran I was but the easy/normal mode player, now I am the extra boss. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16481)
:D
-
My second Phantasm clear, with Sakuya B.
I've realised that I need to do relatively well on her first card (i.e. not die) to have a chance at beating her. I screwed up on safespotting BoLaD because I was too far to one side and got clipped by a white bullet, but then I went into DBF and survived the 2nd, 4th and 5th waves. That card looks seriously awesome when it breaks.
-
Secret Sign: "Hierarch's Arcanum" capture.
That is all.
-
Finally took the effort to play LLS with Marisa, savestate my way to Reimu at max rank, and perfect her. Eight more bosses left to perfect~ I think I can perfect the remaining three PC-98 bosses and make that number a round five to stay...for a long time...
-
Who are the other five, donut?
-
Who are the other five, donut?
In PC-98, there's Yumeko, Shinki, and EX Alice. In Windows, there are Patchouli, Remilia, Yukari, Byakuren and Mamizou. Patchouli just has such a crushingly long and boring stage to try continuously, and Yukari and Mamizou are extra bosses. Even those I could definitely perfect if I sunk the five hours needed for each, but Remilia and Byakuren make the dream of absolute perfection as far away as ever. X(
-
Do Patchy with all 4 shot types :V
Seriously though, I can relate to not wanting to go through that stage, it's the only reason I gave up trying to capture every normal spell in the series (that, and the Prismriver solo cards, and to a much lesser extent, Flying Fantastica)
Remilia is half luck, half skill, half dealing with whatever BS she throws at you as far as I know (I got walled on Scarlet Gensoyko when I cleared lunatic), and I've never captured half the stuff Yukari has, and I know if I did manage to perfect her to Danmaku Bounded Field, nerves would make me choke even though I'm really consistent at it.
Good luck getting them though!

10D No Vertical Easy

Perfected Kanako on hard. [replay] (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16474)
-
Yukari and Mamizou are extra bosses. Even those I could definitely perfect if I sunk the five hours needed for each
Surely you mean 20-30 minutes right? :V
-
Even I almost perfected Patchouli a few times, but that was with MarisaB.
It's only 20-30 minutes if you don't fail consistently at certain stuff. I could perfect Yukari if I bothered to put in the effort considering I perfected everything on her outside of BoLaD in my no deaths run. I just don't want to deal with all the stuff that can go wrong.
-
You don't understand; I realize it's in my grasp. I've come very close to perfecting Yukari more than once; I've even had perfecting Remilia in my grasp twice. The one thing that I absolutely hate is the mindset I get into once I set my mind to a task. I cannot enjoy that boss until I perfect her. I often can't even bring myself to play a stage besides that one. My entire life gets taken over by the compulsion until I succeed. >_< That, more than any other reason, is why I dread putting in the effort of perfecting bosses. Yet I've somehow reached this point...
-
What I decided to do with bosses like Mamizou, Byakuren and the few other bosses I haven't perfected is to just try them casually as I feel like it an do my best. Sure it takes a lot longer that way but it gets way less depressing. It did mean that my perfect run of Shou took a long time to accomplish because I needed to get used to her wicked patterns again. In addition, going actively for a perfect run in Touhou takes some serious dedication since those stages do their best to erode your mind with boredom.
So basically don't go ramming your head against the bosses over and over again, just make sure to return to them regularly and play them but without neglecting other bosses you think are fun.
-
Patchouli,
Use ReimuA get instant perfect.
-
Use ReimuA get instant perfect.
I tried EoSD lunatic with MarisaA once.
4/5 Patchy spells captured. Naturally, I missed Emerald Megalith.
With ReimuA I can only get 2/5 per run.
-
Because Mercury Poison hypnotizes me and stops my brain from functioning, naturally MarisaA is the easiest for me since that's the only shottype who doesn't have to face it. Bonus points for highest damage, too. The only bull-shit tier card she faces is Lava Cromlech if you ask me..The only fight I've perfected is ReimuB in a full run, just going to Patchy without bombs and not getting hit. That was a complete fluke of course.
-
Use ReimuA get instant perfect.
/me tries out of boredom, perfects Patchouli on his first try
Uh.
Well.
Huh.
o-o
...Seven bosses left...damn it now it won't be a round number when I'm through with PC-98. :<
EDIT: Also, I don't know what you guys are talking about. The reason Patchouli has been so daunting is because I main Marisa A, and her Patchouli fight on max rank is the most difficult boss in the series, bar none. Even below max rank I almost never pass her in a full run without losing two lives.

??? MarisaA? Really?
Her leaf card is freaking annoying as hell, always screw me up.
Emerald Megalith is no joke either - constantly getting walled.
I find ReimuA's cards more manageable.

Hm, I would expect a few other bosses to be more difficult... Byakuren for example. She even kills me easily on normal mode.
-
have a TD extra run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16517) featuring my FIRST EVER CAPTURE of... the second midboss card. Seriously, shit's like an autobomb for me.
I will clear this yet.
As soon as I, yknow... get some practice on those nonspells. :ohdear:
-
So I figured I go for these overdrive things...
Stage 1 overdrive: 14 tries
Stage 2 overdrive: 11 tries 10 tries
Stage 3 overdrive: 2 tries
Stage 4 overdrive: 81 tries :X 113
Stage 5 midboss: 5 tries 7 tries
Stage 5 overdrive: 1 try
Stage 6 overdrive: 1 try
EDIT: got some numbers wrong, but fixed 'em. I tricked myself with stage 4 thing. On my 81st try, Seiga and I died simultaneously, so I saved the replay, then took 30 more tries to actually capture it. When I went to check the number of attempts, I watched the wrong reply :V
Somehow I feel that these numbers make no sense...
Another thing, (and maybe this should go in the help thread, idk) when people talk about perfecting bosses, do they mean the just the boss, or the whole stage? I think I have perfected Patchy, but never in my life have I survived that spam of green bullets before the midboss. Mainly I want to know because I forced myself through stage 3 in SA a zillion times after perfecting Yugi, just because I felt like it wasn't considered truly "perfect" unless I perfected the stage as well in the same run.
-

If the stage is perfected as well, the player would say so because it's more impressive, so yeah it refers to boss only :V
Does rank carry over from the stage to the boss? If yes, you can self-deceive by triple suiciding late in the stage in games with a rank system and have an easier time with the boss. I hope we're all above such trickery, though ::)

Try mine.
Yuyuko: 1 (I didn't move. I didn't get hit. Lucky me.)
Kyouko: 6
Yoshika: 4
Seiga: 321
Tojiko: 2
Futo: 6
Miko: 3
Mamziou: 25, 8 (first capture took 25, update to version 1.00c, re-capture so I have a replay of it, it took 8 tries, it was also the first overdrive I tried)
On the perfecting bosses thing, I perfected ExPatchy, ExChen, ExKanako, and ExSanae out of boredom and wanting toredo some extras randomly. I tried capturing every spell and derped a bit, so I didn't clear any.
I've also had about a half dozen 1 miss UFO normal stage 4s. The chokes ranged from Sinker Ghost (4 of them) to Deep Vortex (1) to Ghost Ship's Port (1).

Stage 3 overdrive: 38 tries
Stage 4 overdrive: 245 tries <<< !!!
Stage 5 midboss: 3 tries

Stage 6 overdrive: 16 tries
Extra overdrive: 13 tries

What is this I don't even.
HOW did I perfect Kanako (normal) first try, when I'd only ever captured her 4th spell once and I'm horribly inconsistent at her 3rd spell, and her 2nd nonspell (only on normal do I have trouble with it)...
I guess I should go perfect Aya to have perfected all normal bosses in MoF.
-
TAO took me 9 tries with Youmu and 67 tries with Reimu.
-
If the stage is perfected as well, the player would say so because it's more impressive, so yeah it refers to boss only :V
Does rank carry over from the stage to the boss? If yes, you can self-deceive by triple suiciding late in the stage in games with a rank system and have an easier time with the boss. I hope we're all above such trickery, though ::)
/me whistles
I did do this just now with Patchouli, but a perfect is a perfect. :B
Anyway, in a sick fit of inspiration, I just grinded Remilia for a bit (tries have officially breached the 400 mark >_<). Perfecting her is still far beyond realism, but I just confirmed a theory I developed a bit back and now have a way to raise my success rate on Young Demon Lord exponentially. :D
The thing is though, Scarlet Meister...there has GOT to be some way to at least increase my odds, but this is one spell card, out of all the spell cards in the series that just feels...impenetrable to me. Unless I could discover a secret to it, I will never get serious about perfecting Remilia.

I think I remember someone here posting a vid showing one strategy, namely redirecting the odd-numbered waves to her left (basically, the first in each pair), and trying your best to follow Remilia around as needed during the even-numbered ones before repeating the process. I don't have the link handy, but if anyone else knows what I'm referring to, go ahead and re-post it.

I realize I forgot the number for Mamizou's overdrive: 12 tries

In my experience, any pattern that is even remotely effected by the player's position always has a trick, even if ZUN didn't mean for there to be one. But then, who knows what he's actually thinking.

About the rank thing... to get to max rank, you just have to do everything beforehand flawlessly right? It doesn't take some speedy spell captures or some other trick?
And sorry if I'm asking questions instead of stating accomplishments. Let's see umm... got a no focus phantasm clear a while back... 1 death no bomb UFO extra...

[21:25] <Kuruminut> It's time for...DONUT LOGIC THEATER~~~
[21:26] <Kuruminut> Donut: Grr, this is so hard. Not only is it random, fast, and near impossible to parse and dodge at the same time, but these metal fatigue bullets have such wonky hitboxes! Argh!
[21:27] <Kuruminut> Iji-Donut: Uhm, if the metal fatigue bullets have such wonky hitboxes in this game, wouldn't it be in your best interest to find gaps that don't involve moving through those and instead looking to dodge the much more lenient round bullets?
[21:27] <Kuruminut> Donut: ...I'M A GENIUS!
Hasn't yielded a capture, but merely this mindset is something that may strengthen me against this spell card. :D
Of course, I still don't feel it realistic. -^-

I guess I should go perfect Aya to have perfected all normal bosses in MoF.
done, first try.
This has spawned in me the crazy idea to perfect every boss on normal.
Byakuren...I'm not looking forward to that one...
Or Orin, or Shou, or any of the final bosses really or Stage 5 bosses really.
Tried China, Remilia and Eirin, failed each. However...IN-STAGE HOURAI ELIXIR CAPTURE

You mean Baity's vid?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgPffmr2pbs
Doesn't look very complicated, but hard to do in practice though, due to the sheer speed and density.
Plus Remilia's movement is freaking annoying. Once I survived to 3 seconds. History is still like 0/550 or smthing.
That, and Scarlet Gensokyo are 2 spells I have yet to capture in EoSD.

Perfect normal Orin.

The thing about that Scarlet Meister strategy is the part where it says your movement should be dependent on where Remilia moves. Remilia's movement in Scarlet Meister is completely random. Where she randomly moves completely changes the formation of the waves. By the time you see where she randomly moves, it is impossible to change the direction you were originally moving because of the thick burst in the middle. So basically, you just have to guess.

So. Finally realized what was wrong with Double Spoiler. Apparently the game data was gone. I don't know how it found its way out of the folder but I sure as hell managed to get it back in there and could thus start playing the Ultra patch. I have captured pretty much everything up to and including Level 7 now. There are a few cards I haven't managed mainly due to them either being impossible or just too demanding for me atm. I am not sure where to put Nitori's non-spell right now. It looks like it presents huge walling potential but right now, I have yet to see her use it.
A bunch of the spells doesn't even become harder at all while some you wouldn't expect become a big problem. Still, DS Ultra is fun.

Unlocked Marisa's alt ending through Normal.
WHAT IS SHE DOING IN THAT
-
Third Phantasm clear, with Reimu A.
Was doing pretty good up to Boundary of Humans and Youkai, then derped a couple of times. On BoLaD I found a "safespot" but got hit by a stray bullet and also accidentely activated the timeout phase because I wasn't hitting her enough, so I had to deal with aimed butterflies. Danmaku Bounded Field went horribly because I forgot almost everything.
-
perfect normal Eirin.
Unfortunately I missed Hourai Elixir by derping the last wave of greens, but I'm just happy that her 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th spells cooperated, as did her 1st, 3rd and 4th nonspells.

FINALLY
UNDEFINED "FANTASTIC"* OBJECT HARD 1CC!!!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16583)
Stage 1 was perfect, not sure why I decided to go for a capture of Nazrin's last spell with a 50% history on it, but I got it, despite usually bombing it.
Stage 2 was bar none the best stage portion I'd ever had, with 3 red UFOs right before Kogasa...in a row. I bombed her last spell, but that happens about half the time anyway.
Stage 3 was deathless until Ichirin, where I derped quite a bit but still had an average run of her.
Stage 4 had a great stage portion, arriving at Murasa with 8 lives... before derping the nonspell, Sinkable Vortex and especially her 3rd spell.
Stage 5 was bombspam stage, 1bomb Nazrin (capped the spell!), mediocre Shou...except aced the first nonspell, 2nd spell and last spell. I derped the looping around Shou on her 3rd nonspell, I usually get that.
Stage 6 had a pretty much ideal stage portion, reaching Byakuren 5/3 (prior runs had 4/4 and 5/0). I DIDN'T derp Byakuren anywhere, aside from a bomb to the butterfly spell (bye perfect capture record...), made up for with a 'capture' of the 3rd nonspell. I got to LFS with 3 lives and a bomb, and died with the bomb in stock, but managed to not die to it again, clearing with 2 lives in stock. Hell yeah!
*It's not so fantastic, it's my least favorite of the (windows) Touhou games. I'm also done with this game, aside from maybe perfecting bosses if they're all that's left to perfect, 90 FPS normal, 120 FPS easy, and Ultra normal. and I guess lunatic if it's the only one left. Those are all tentative though.

First 1cc on TD with Sanae. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16592)
Wait, that's not an achievement, considering I did it with Reimu.
But wait, NO LIVES LOST UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH THE FINAL BOSS!? What is this? A potential 1 life clear of the game, only ruined by FIVE really stupid deaths to the last half of the final boss, all spells which I have captured before. In addition, I had four bombs and a full trance bar when my first life was lost. And this was a run I decided to do out of nowhere.
Also captured Astronomical Entombing (normal) on Border Team, Astronomical Entombing (lunatic) on Youmu Solo, and Phoenix Rebirth
-
Phantasm clear with Reimu B.
No deaths up to BoLaD, on which I died twice. I need to find out how to do the safespot again.

Good job!

No deaths for that long? Nice. How did you fare on Danmaku Bounded Field by the way?
And you don't need no stinkin' safespot. It's very doable without it, and it's good practice tackling it normally.

Thanks. I think I failed the first wave and then proceeded to get through all the following ones but I actually captured the card in a run just now, so I'm happy.
I think I just get unlucky on BoLaD and end up facing enormous walls without the safespot because the damn thing seems impossible without it. On an earlier run I remember accidentely activating the timeout phase with the aimed blue butterflies and managed to survive for a surprisingly long time (about 7 seconds but whatever) while streaming and randomly dodging. So I guess the regular version is possible; I just need to get better at reading fast bullets.

1cc EoSD easy MarisaA
Got bored and wanted to go back to the basics.
-
Ah great, amazing. English patch is ready.
Ten Desires 1cc. One credit. One clear. First three stages went acceptably. Seiga took a life which is not acceptable. Especially considering that it was on the first bloody card. I have no idea what happened, suddenly I couldn't get Reimu to move. I don't know if it was just me or the keyboard that acted up but I know I don't like it. Futo went as planned, obviously, but then came Miko and crashed my party with 2 seriously retarded deaths. Oh well, 4 lives left is not that bad for a first 1cc.
Worst of all. The dialogue was pretty meh this time around. It was a lot better in SA and UFO. I had expected better out of this roster of characters... oh and no comment from ZUN for clearing Lunatic. That's a nice touch too.

Unlocked Youmu's alt ending.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA this stuff is GOLD.

It's nearly embarrassing to post here for something like this if you read of all those great feats.
First Reimu B PCB Extra clear, first try in a while, 2 lives in stock, could've been three if I hadn't noticed my life-counter to have a bit of a panic-attack at Ran's last spellcard (or maybe not, it just entered it's last stage and it was my first time facing this). Not as bad as my nigh-deathless IN Hard run I guess: only noticed at Eirin that I didn't die at all, so I panicked ('will I make it?!') and died twice.
Didn't play this one a lot and it was supposed to be a casual run, call me surprised. 'bout time to get my behind kicked by Yukari.
-

Don't feel that way. An accomplishment is an accomplishment, no matter what skill level you are. Good job on your first PCB extra clear! That one's a pretty tough one as far as extra stages go.

Prepare to be surprised. Yukari's not much harder than Ran, and you have the added advantage that most of her spell cards resemble Ran's, so you already know how to dodge them.

Ah yes, I saw that discussion somewhere on this forum about which form is harder.
Well, didn't make it on my first try (no surprise either) but I felt content for the night so I didn't pursue it any further.

Guess I should take those feats as an inspiration to try and recreate.
Little question that's kind of related to the topic: When you clear DS completely you get that congratulations-screen: I'm wondering if some lines change depending on your performance.
For example, when it says 'You are amazing! (mostly for perseverance)'
(the part in brackets knows me well...) would someone with a better overall performance only be "amazing" without the perseverance
? Wouldn't think so but wouldn't put it past Kinzo ZUN either.

Yesterday I cleared PCB Extra for the first time. Today, stuff happened. I apologize for the length.
Morning: Decided to play some EoSD Extra. I tried this stage a few more times than PCB Extra so this was a bit overdue and using ReimuA I beat it for the first time (one life in stock).
Despite that I had some incredible derp at 'Cranberry Trap' (lost one life with bombs and used another bomb after that... ouch), 'Forbidden Barrage' (the hitbox of those clock-lasers still puzzles me) and Flandre's survival card. The only "yay"-Part of this run was not losing a life at 'Maze of Love', instead I just used two bombs ... success... I guess...
Afternoon: Wanted to keep going as long as I seem to have the 'fire'. What comes to mind with fire? Yes, a phoenix, thank you: IN Extra was my next stop.
Derp at 'Fire Bird' (2 bombs and 1 life, how did I even manage to screw this up so much?) and 'Possessed by Phoenix' (the second phase...) but beat it too, again the first time (and according to my Spellcard Results I played this stage 8 times in total).
After it seemed that I had more fire than a Phoenix I would've thought to stop for today but no.
Evening: I'm really bad at MoF, let's get this out of the way. For some reason I have real trouble with precise movement in this one and I sometimes hate this game solely for those black-orb bullets.
Best time to try to 1cc it on hard-mode.
Played with ReimuA, made it for the first time in one go to VoWG and ... failed. Can happen, tried again. VoWG didn't let me though. The same happened with ReimuB and C. Even though I captured it before; I wouldn't expect to capture it now (nervosity) but I should be able to do it with bombs and one or two lives in stock, right? I was frustrated.
In my frustration I played it again, this time with MarisaA and her HUGE hitbox. It was a terrible run. Lots of derp-deaths, frustration bombing, not caring a bit anymore, it was a failed run in my eyes.
Strangely enough, this terrible run overcame VoWG (kind of) ; I had no lives in stock and no more energy for another bomb, nothing was left, but Kanako went down.
It took a while until my hands calmed down.
All in all:
2 Extra stages, one (terrible) hard 1cc. Not a bad day.
-
Is being able to capture kanako's MoF on normal on the first try an accomplishment?
Depends on how skilled you are. If you feel accomplished then its an accomplishment. There is not really any specific requirements for something to qualify as an accomplishment.
-

This right here, like the intro post says. An accomplishment is an accomplishment. No matter how large or small.
That said I just 1cc'd PCB Normal again, ending with 1/1. It certainly wasn't as nerve-wracking as last time.

And down goes Suwako. Pretty fun Extra-stage but it made me hate Marisa's hitbox even more. Why did your run succeed and none of Reimu's did?
Edit:
Prepare to be surprised. Yukari's not much harder than Ran, and you have the added advantage that most of her spell cards resemble Ran's, so you already know how to dodge them.
After taking her down: indeed, not much different. Though the first time I fell for her trick right at the end of her last spellcard (not that I had a choice without lives in stock and bombs). But I hoped, I sincerely hoped: what a troll.
Guess that's it for first time clears of Extra stages; SA and UFO hard are out of my league right now so I won't see those two Extra Stages for a while (sucks to be stubborn) and I don't really feel like playing TD at the moment (lack of ressources as a means of creating difficulty made EoSD already a very 'special' experience).

You know you only have to clear them on normal to get the extra stage right? And assuming you cleared MoF on Hard, SA probobly isn't out of your league. People say it's the hardest, but I'd say it's easy with all the lives and power items you get. Just bomb liberally and you get through.

Just go through normal to unlock the extras.
If you MUST do hard mode first, Subterranean Animism's hard is not hard aside from Stage 5, but Stage 6 is yawn easy in comparison.
UFO's hard...no, just no. If you're set on doing it, SanaeB is the way to go.
My first clears of TD normal and TD extra both had 3 deaths, 1 life at the clear. The difficulty of this extra comes more from wonky hitboxes than anything else.
-
I am aware that only normal is necessary to unlock Extra but personally I prefer to have something to work for. I was actually a bit disappointed when IN and PCB weren't really an issue after EoSD hard.
UFO's hard...no, just no.
Haven't even seen Byakuren though maybe I'll finally be able to break down the Shou wall, haven't tried in a while.
Sorry for straying a bit off-topic.

Funny that, tried the same today and also failed somewhere around there.
Then I tried again. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16680) Keep going, victory is in your grasp!
Second half is basically me bombing with occasional dodging and I didn't capture a whole lot either (due to conventional death/bombing and/or tactical cherry border abuse).
Especially stage 4 + boss went horrible.
Featuring "Focus-dancing" in the first few stages due to having played them way too much back on hard mode.

I managed a few things today:
1: I perfected up to and includeing Stage 3 of PCB. Then got my rear handed to me by Stage 4. [As far as I've gotten in PCB. My best character is Sakyua B... and that gives me the most hellish of the Primsiver's first nonspells :/] Considering my usual difficulty against Chen's Sage Rumbling spell, and Alice's London Dolls...
2: I managed to get to Cirino on Hard Mode of ESoD. Bear in mind I've not even got past Stage 4 on ESoD Normal Mode as a 1CC. [Patch keeps killing me]
3: Captured all four of Hina's Spells on MoF Normal Mode. I usually die at the Midboss card
4: Got to the Stage 3 Boss on UFO. I've only ever got to the midboss. I also captured Kagosta's First boss card, which is also a first for me.
For a guy that's never done a 1CC [And only ever got as far as Stage 5 in any Touhou game [That being Imperishable Night]], I'd say this is a good sign.
-
I successfully completed my first Touhou 1cc on normal or higher today. I am very proud of myself.

Blah, finally got around to uploading replays of Kaguya's cards at 90fps (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=Nereid&g=8&p=Reimu+%26+Yukari&t=2&d=4&c=1&ch=1), including Rising World (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16713). The hardest ;;
-
I managed to beat Koishi. FINALLY. How I managed to no-death Yukari, no-bomb Mokou, and no-death Suwako before a simple clear of Koishi is just beyond me.
Just glad that's out of the way. That's all extra bosses clear on games I actually play. Maybe I'll try to get EoSD working again. I really want a fair shot at Flandre, she looks really fun from the videos I've seen.

Hah... My experimentations on Scarlet Meister are beginning to bear fruit. I am just beginning to understand this card...
(http://i40.tinypic.com/nqo85g.png)
EDIT: Ha ha ha, I got it! I got it I got it I got it I GOT IIIIIT~! I think I have cracked Scarlet Meister as much as it is ever going to be cracked!
What you got to do, see, is be very defensive. Start the card out by directing the first wave at nearly horizontal Remi's position. Alternate corners, but don't get stuck in one no matter what you do. While the waves are being formed and you're dashing between corners, look at the waves being created. If one has few or no metal fatigue bullets, take that opening. Avoid dealing with metal fatigue bullets at all costs. Be defensive, and don't worry about capturing it - timing it out is just about the same length of time, and it's a lot less risky.
The joke? All this analysis, and I haven't captured it once since starting.

<%VgameT> PFFFHAHAHAH WHAT
<%VgameT> 1cc sa hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16729) with max lives remaining

<%VgameT> the clear I just got and my first 1cc of sa hard ever
<%VgameT> which both happened this month
<%VgameT> there were no credits in between
<%VgameT> Underscore I think I just leveled up >:D?

I anaged to get to Stage 5 on ESoD today, yes... I got past Patchy!
On my last life.
With 1 bomb left.
Didn't even get to Midboss Sakyua. Although I almost did.

Magical Singular Day Moderate 1cc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiES58m6qYo)
Just dropping by to let everyone know that they should play the best Touhou fangame out there.
-
Completed no-focus time-outs of all of Mokou's spells. I left out the two survival cards and her last word before, but now I've got them all. :V These were fairly dull really, so I won't bother linking to it or anything. The replay's on my youtube anyway if you really want to see it.

Finally managed a cap of Mamizou's overdrive.
Also, timed out "Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden". Without focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16745)
Now if only I could beat the game on hard. Why must TD have no actual resources?

MoF Stage 6 Lunatic Perfect (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT7EzGms8pM)
-
Captured all the overdrives, Seiga's took me the longest with 32 tries (thanks to Reimu's homing amulets I could at least just misdirect Seiga's bullets to the sides of the screen while still inflicting damage) but at the same time it was actually fun to play.
Is it just me or is Yoshika's last spellcard BS on Lunatic (at least with Reimu)? Then again I was always bad with time-pressure in games.
At least I can time it out... no wait: that's the problem. ::)
TD hard check
To do: TD Extra, SA hard, SA Extra, IN lunatic, ... ... ... UFO hard (I'm already scared; maybe I'll find some other goals to delay this catastrophe)
-

As far as I can tell, the only way to actually capture that card is to run up there and steal the spirits before she eats them, which means forcing your way through the kunai well before they reach the bottom of the screen. I've done it, but just timing the thing out is much safer IMO. Maybe Youmu can just beat her down idk, otherwise I think Reimu has the best chance of getting through quickly enough.
Btw nice job getting Seiga's overdrive in 32 tries. Now you gotta time 'em all out ;)

I can back this up. Even if you collect the spirits perfectly each wave (as in, get most of them on one side of Yoshika), Reimu is still brought down to less than 10 seconds before she can actually capture the card. Fortunately none of the TD bosses give up any items after their last cards, so timing it out during survival runs is more viable than you'd first think.
-
Also, that card got even worse with the patch (https://twitter.com/#!/korindo/status/103839014154534912). Originally, spirits actually spawned in a nice circle around Yoshika, making them easier to collect. GJ ZUN.
-
For that card eventually I stopped playing safely as I figured that if I miss even one wave of spirits, I'll have almost zero chance.
What killed me the most was the curvy lasers. I just can't figure out which way they curve, so I often go in the wrong gap and *clip*
I find that with Reimu, the kunai isn't as intimidating as it seems.
-
Don't wait until they curve to go through them.
-
As far as I can tell, the only way to actually capture that card is to run up there and steal the spirits before she eats them
While I was aware that I had to close in on her (the 'time-pressure' part) ... I kind of assumed that I couldn't get the spirits as soon as she pulls them towards her (though the hard version was still doable even with that misunderstanding), which limits the timeframe for action quite a bit (and makes me needlessly hurry thus causing more deaths overall). Derp, shows what I know.
Okay, captured it with it with that hint (to destroy my baseless assumptions), thanks. 72 tries overall, most of them star me banging my head on the kunai in frustration or being stupid and getting hit by a stationary laser (however that even works). Only a few more extra spellcards and everything is captured.
Now you gotta time 'em all out ;)
Thanks but I think I'll decline for now. :V
so timing it out during survival runs is more viable than you'd first think.
Agreed, would never bother doing this in a survival run. But that's what spell practice is for.
-
I got frustrated dying to Score Desire Eater (Hard) while trying to collect the spirits so I tried standing under Yoshika as much as possible while being at the bottom.
Captured at about 1 second left
-
Don't wait until they curve to go through them.
Yeah, I know, except somehow they always start to curve onto me while I am going through. ???
-
Held off Genetics for a fairly decent time at 0 power. Too bad I derped at around the 15 second mark.
Suddenly I feel more confident about being able to clear SA Extra.
-
Managed to make it to Boss Sakuya today.
Which is in particular an accomplishment, because my brother distracted me against Cirno, and I died on Icicle Fall because of it.
However, I had a brilliant Stage 3 and 4 run, and even Patchy went OK, with me captureing Wood Sign and Emerald Megalith. [The others I needed to bomb on, and I died due to mistiming her lasers once, and on Forest Blaze]

Whilst Alice is my favourite character, I don't want to be beaten by her THAT much.

Magical Singular Day Apocalypse Mode Stage 5 + TLB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IJIZkwyVrU)
-
UFO extra second clear, on a whim, using ReimuA.
Captured Rainbow UFOs, almost got the survival card but 0 seconds left death.
Had a life to spare.
-
The Primsriver Sisters.
It's innovative having three bosses at once in a danmaku game, as well as making the battle change depending on which you do the most damage to during their first spell.
While I can't beat them [I can perfect up until Stage 4 in PCB, then lose outright on Stage 4], they are, IMO, the best Stage 4 boss[es].
If they don't count for being a Trio, then it's probobly Patchy.
-
After battling the cold weather, cold fingers and rage i have finally 1CC MoF with ReimuA on hard mode.

I found a way into the very center of Futo's Overdrive as well as her last spell on Lunatic. Once I got in there, I captured the spells with no movement at all. :D

And now, the latest in Operation Scarlet Meister:
[17:53] <Kuruminut> Sapz: So, if you direct the first wave at a near-horizontal angle, you obviously make things much easier, cutting the bullets you have to dodge nearly in half
[17:53] <Sapz> ...
[17:53] <Sapz> That's a good idea actually
[17:54] <Sapz> But then, there's the problem of actually hitting Remi
[17:54] <GrumpXeph> That does sound difficult to pull off without getting sniped by something though.
[17:54] <Kuruminut> The logical next step is: In dodging Scarlet Meister, you must try and misdirect the waves as far up as possible, and place this in higher priority than damaging Remilia!
[17:54] <Kuruminut> Of course, surviving the waves is hard enough, let alone moving up to misdirect, so...
[17:55] <Kuruminut> However, I usually dodge at least two waves of the attack following this strategy!
orz
On brighter news, I just discovered something amazing: A way to increase Marisa A's damage output in EoSD. Though I have no idea why, if you fire while moving upwards, then abruptly change directions and start moving down, you will deal extra damage at the point where you start moving down. This makes no sense, and testing has shown that the damage is not accounted for by extra DPS by being close to the boss, so...I dunno. It's helpful though in situations like making sure you halt Remilia's fourth phase at the third wave.
-
Is that just because your shots are more dense while moving up? I'd expect your average damage rate to be the same, although you could use that to get a burst of high damage (offset by lower damage while moving down).

Yeah, it's like Neried said. I'm pretty sure it's because you're stacking bullets on top of each other. While moving forward you increase damage, but while backing up its reduced. It's good if you can finish off the card with the slight boost, and back up during the transition. You can get something like this in TD with Reimu's homing amulets. Flood the screen with them when the boss is invincible, then switch to needles. They get hit by focused fire and the residual amulets. I'm not 100% on that though.
-
So it's past midnight where I am, which means it's now been two years since I first played a Touhou game. I don't have any new notable replays to celebrate this though, so I'm stuck with saying how remaining this much of a fan of the games for this long must be an achievement in itself. :V
Though there is something that caught my eye recently. Thanks to my SA score.dat file randomly resetting itself, my Spellcard histories are now potentially more accurate for my current skill level. During the time I spent today trying to perfect SA Stage 5 Lunatic, I noticed that I'm now capturing the Catwalk a little over one-third of the time (with around 100 tries currently). To think I've improved enough to get that good at that card... I've come a long way in two years.
-
Wait JUST A SECOND.
I failed. I made it past Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo ganked me (well, no, the death was entirely my fault). BUT. And but, I just realized something about this card.
Through all my finageling, through over 400 attempts, I have never realized that it was possible to brute force your way past the waves through Marisa's unfocused movement. And it's...somehow much safer than I imagined. Have I just gotten that skilled...?
Anyway, this is far from a surefire crack, but this new tactic will solve many a failed attempt that got stuck in the corner, and through the simplest way possible: Just freaking run.
Oh, and to prove it's not just another red herring, I captured Scarlet Meister twice in a row. 8)
-
After an EoSD boss rush failing to perfect any of them (Meiling, Patchy, Remilia, 1 mistake on each), I turned to Imperishable Night.
Perfect (normal) Reisen, perfect stage aside from an annoying clip to Tewi's second pattern.
-
My ONLY vaguely notable achievement isn't even from a danmaku game, the best of which I have is a 1cc on IN Easy and a 2cc on SA Easy. T^T
Anyway: SWR, I managed to clear Tenshi in Normal with Yuyu without taking damage~
Nyuu~

PERFECT NORMAL MIKO
That took almost no time at all.
and now 3rd times the charm with Meiling.
List is down to 10.

SA Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16830)
Yesyesyesyesyes! I finally did it! :toot: Now I actually do have something to help celebrate today. :V
-
Nice job on the perfect S5.
Also, While trying to perfect Kaguya, I decided the best shot type for the job was either solo Remilia or Scarlet team. My score.dat had a gaping hole on Scarlet Team though, I hadn't cleared normal with them yet. So I did.
I didn't die, meaning Imperishable Night normal 1LC
Oh, and the Kaguya battle had all attacks except one aced, so I can totally do it as long as Dragon's Necklace cooperates. as does Buddhist Diamond. as does Swallow's Cowrie Shell. as does the 3rd nonspell. and the first nonspell too. and the last one I guess.
-
SA Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16830)
Great job there. SA Stage 5 is one of the hardest bitches out there so great job on taking it down. It also happens to be the only stage I haven't perfected in SA too so good job on it.

I beat Flandre for the third time today, with Marisa B after taking a break from EoSD.
Totally didn't use the Starbow Break safespot.
edit: ....YES!
I 1cc'd EoSD Hard! FINALLY! With one life and bomb remaining, too! I've been working on this for...2-3 months? Maybe less? I don't know, but I'm so glad this is finally done. EoSD, I'm no longer mad at you for hating me these past couple of months.
Maybe I should start working on PCB Hard now.
-
FUCK YES!
Imperishable Night Extra 1LC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16845)
Damnit my heart was pounding out of my chest after capping Fujiyama Volcano. Made some bad mistakes on Possessed by Phoenix (but luckily I wasn't punished for them), and on Hourai Doll (where I was but luckily I had a bomb left).
Still hasn't really sunk in yet that I actually pulled this off. I've been trying to get this for at least four months now.
-
One random attempt today to try capping VoWG on hard, and it FINALLY worked. Gosh, that took longer to cap than I thought. Though it looked like she went easy on me that time. :\
Can't wait for lunatic.....

What shot type did you use for it?
When I capped the hard version I used ReimuA and had to contend with 5 overlaps, 1 of which forced going through a wall.
Also, I captured it on a whim with ReimuB, 3 overlap waves, no required wall pass-throughs.
EDIT: PCB extra no bomb no border break clear. 3 deaths; 1 dodging mistake, 1 wall and 1 derp. and on a whim I decided to see how far I could true pacifist PCB easy. I got halfway through before Stage 4 ended my run pre-Lily. perfect pacifist stages 1, 2 and 3 though.
YEAH!!!! UFO Stage 4 normal perfect, while going for Murasa. I finally DIDN'T choke on Sinker Ghost or somewhere else stupid.

Damnit, I need to catch up. Still haven't got a hard 1cc. My laptop charger dying and the 3 weeks or so of very little Touhou in the beginning of October screwed up my skills.
Anyway, I beat lunatic TD (with all 9 continues:() by the skin of my teeth (0 lives, 0 bombs). Granted I died with bombs left very often but still...
But that's not what I'm here for. I did that to unlock Overdrives so I could practice them.
All overdrives (except Mamizou's) unlocked
Yoshika and Miko's overdrives captured
All hard mode cards except Guze Flash captured
All lunatic cards except Score Desire Eater, Tongling Yoshika, Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance and Guze Flash captured :]
-
A far cry from my previous achievements of, y'know, beating the games for the first time, today marks my unlocking of the Solo Characters in Imperishable Night, with a few bonus accomplishments!
Namely, a no-focus defeat of Wriggle and Mystia, and a full perfect clear of Marisa, all in the same run, all with the Netherworld Team. Link will be forthcoming after work.

I did it with ReimuB. I was really lucky because I was never forced through any walls. The gaps were plenty in that run, which was a first.
-
VoWG never forces you through walls. If you get walled, it's your own fault D:
With that said, I seem to remember that the Hard version has more dense stuff than Lunatic.
-
With that said, I seem to remember that the Hard version has more dense stuff than Lunatic.
I agree. After doing a bunch of 1D and 2D timeouts on Lunatic, I once went back to try the Hard version and got my ass kicked until I readjusted. It's similar to the relationship between Easy and Normal, though not as dramatic. I think Hard is more about precise movement and less fast paced reading.

Ten Desires ultra extra attempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMzr6aucrHE
I'd actually be able to clear if it if I weren't so terrible at Mamizou's last spell, ugh... I've given up now because I can never consistently get through that card on ultra.
-
10D Extra, 90FPS.
I got to the survival card, which I consider to be an accomplishment now.
I derped to her seventh card, dying right as I filled up a manual trance...
At least I can reliably get 4 1/12 life pieces and 3 bombs by the time I get to Mamizou.

Which version of the ultra patch is that? Mine has the survival with 4 Mamizou's shooting catdoghorsefoxwolfrabbit things, not 3. As a whole that version looks a lot more possible to clear, except the last nonspell.
PERFECT REMILIA BATTLE! (normal)
2 tries today, one of which got walled on her first spell. I never missed a nonspell, and never missed her third spell. Red Magic desperately tried to wall me several times, but I managed to find a way out.
-
Just got my best run of Ten Desires Extra so far today.
Got to Mamizou without losing any lives for once, getting just enough life spirits for 4 lives. I then screwed up a lot of stuff but managed to get to her 7th spell.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16872
I really need to practice more. Also, I'm not very confident of all her nonspells past the 3rd one. And she's annoying to try to hit on her 6th and 7th card
-
Oh well. I a truly perfect match with Shou finally. My 'perfect battle' from summer was perfect in the sense that i didn't die or bomb but I didn't capture Aura of Light because she kept getting out of the way for my shot. I got her this time though. I suppose its my first 'officially' perfect battle with her.
Also. 2-deaths no-bombs run of SA Stage 5. First death... was bad. At that point in the beginning with the suicide bullets. Second death, successfully surviving pellet hell and then failing to dodge a simple aimed barrage of bullets. Other than that, perfect... It appears that I make a lot of those 'capture everything that's hard then die very stupidly at something easy' runs lately. Well, I guess that's not so bad. ;)

Fountain of Maith 1CC of Normal without bombing (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16877).
Took me one attempt, with four horrible derp deaths, one death that was understandable (Illusionary Dominance), and I still had three lives to spare upon capping Kanako's last spell. And I was using ReimuA, not ReimuB.
I can't even believe I ever found this game hard on Normal.

...Ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha. *hollow laugh*
So, you guys. I figured out Scarlet Meister. I've said this about a half-dozen times over by now, but this time I have, beyond a doubt.
You want to know the trick? The trick to this spell card that could so confound even me, the most stubborn player out there?
...
There is no trick. Everything I've been doing up until now has just been making it harder. I figured out exactly why that is just a bit ago.
Unless you do massive and crazy dodges across the screen (like I've been experimenting with), the spell card will always generally go one way: You will dodge from your initial position left or right (likely depending on where Remilia moves), and move back to approximately your original position. Naturally. The way the card is designed, you absolutely cannot stay in one place for very long because a massive wall is fired at your position.
So, how does this relate to what I've been doing wrong? My goal this whole time has been to figure out how to avoid being trapped in a corner. No matter what I did, no matter how I misdirected the card, I always got trapped in a corner.
...
It's because I've been misdirecting the card. ZUN obviously never intended you to misdirect Scarlet Meister. It's blatantly obvious if you recall the theory: Bullets are fired, you move, you move back to your original position. By misdirecting the card left, I make this pattern go:
Left
Center
Left
Of course I've always been trapped in the corner at the beginning of the second wave. It's the natural order of the card. If I had just done the logical thing, the thing that as a good designer ZUN always intended you to do, and stay in the center under Remilia, no matter which direction you were pushed, so long as the bullets didn't wall you (and they wall you a lot less this way than you would think), you would move back to the center, free to move whichever way suited you best.
And this. Is how. You are meant. To capture. Scarlet Meister.
Amen.
EDIT: I perfected her up until Scarlet Gensokyo again. I am also ridiculously competent at the rest of her; I can reach Scarlet Meister in a perfect nearly half the time now. ...This is it, there's no going back. Before the year is done, I shall perfect Remilia Scarlet.

Holy crap, I finally recaptured Byakuren's second nonspell on Lunatic, and I did it the "normal" way too. Funny thing is, my choice to do it normally was just on a whim. What's even better, I also recaptured Legendary Flying Saucer in that same run. Apparently Phar never thought to go to the sides to bypass the really hard red wave. :V

My heart is going a million miles a minute.
Perfect Cherry Blossom.
normal mode.
Stage 6.
Yuyuko Saigyouji.
No deaths.
No bombs.
No borders broken.
All spells captured.
5 bosses to go.
This...this battle is going on Youtube, along with my perfect of Kanako from a week or so ago once I get around to recording them.
perfect Yuyuko...I can't believe it. NO chokes to reflowering, and first captures of 3 of her spells with SakuyaA (I'd captured them with other shot types before, but not SakuyaA...until that run).
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16878)
I still can't believe it, this is one of my best accomplishments in Touhou to date, along with MoF L and UFO H.
EDIT: recorded 3 perfect battles for bosses who's names end with the letters '-ko'. No, I didn't get Suwako. (YuyuKO, KanaKO, MiKO)

I have captured Scarlet Meister six times tonight.
Twice were these concurrent with a capture of Scarlet Genoskyo. Two was the amount of times I made it to Scarlet Gensokyo without dying or bombing.
...I suppose that's an accomplishment. Now that I've gotten serious though, this is going to be hell on me until I pull it off. ;_;

I can't speed up Ten Desires, can you upload this?
On the topic of uploading, the 3 boss perfects I mentioned a post ago:
Yuyuko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozVQd3y3djI
Kanako: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pZiuC2vMsI
Miko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq1kZLG0F3c
Annotations coming at 5 in the morning, like all my boss perfects. Only not tonight. Tomorrow night most likely.

Yeah, Megui is doing its stuff as I type this. Though it'll probably run overnight.

fix'd
I clearly cannot read.

10D 90FPS on YouTube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJvdmw06ezk)
Also, Normal 1cc of 10D at 90FPS.
Clearly a typical run.

I noticed the vPatch this morning and tried that. Would have cleared except Seiga is ridiculous and I triple derped. Had a perfect 90 FPS Yoshika in my attempt though, so I'm happy.

Well done everybody.
