Time for another one of these. Previous thread. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6619.0.html)
Keep your accomplishments coming! No matter how big or small, if you feel satisfied with something you pulled off, post it here.
EDIT: Thanks to Matsuri for the title.

Decided to upload that perfect MS stage 6.
Here it is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH77dF1lLdg)
Outside of that premidboss streaming, which shouldn't be an issue now, the problems mainly are Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku, Night With Overly Bright Guest Stars, and Moses's Miracle.
First two are memorizers basically. Learn them once, never fail them again. As for Moses's Miracle, I tend to make very large gaps for restreaming in the hope that chances of walling will be less.
Yeah, and I guess that pre-midboss strategy is better. :V
Isn't Royalflare all about score running? Surely there is better points in Freezing cards than Gold Medalling (kinda retarded that).
No bombs => Still normal freezing.
Milking for freeze => Surviving spellcards without bombing.
-
Well, i have always been a total jackass at scoring but in Fairy Wars I have had situations like "fuck can't dodge this - bomb - and then bomb some stage portions and get 600000+ points because bombs also freeze. Also Star Sapphires QED ripoff non-spells are good for that.
So i would guess that bombing would be used for scoring but then again, i know nothing of that sorta stuff. Scoring is related to my greatest shmup nemesis after all. :)
But Jaimers, do you really think that No-bombing GFW will be any hard at all? You don't even get that many bombs in that game compared to normal to begin with and if you are still allowed normal freezing then there should be no problems for one who have gotten himself accustomed to the patterns.
-
1DNB Aya fight in practice. Still derped the stage.
Was considering whether to post it here or in the whining thread due to it being a stupid death on the final nonspell.
-
Finally... I have a nice bad (wtf?) runthrough Imperishable Night on Hard.
EDIT: Oh wait... Fuck, where is the replay?
-
Someone, hold me, because I think I'm about to fall off my chair in amusement...
I just finished PCB's extra with SakuyaA, first try (Total with all chars = 10 tries).
What's worse? That was the first time I got through Charming Siege From All Sides...
I thought that I was going crazy when I finished Easy with like, 5 lives and 4 bombs left (That, aside from stupid-induced-"Oh I'm gonna win this anyways"- deaths) But, after this...
I'm I really beggining to get better in Touhou...?

Awesome. Here's the list of things you need to do now:
-1cc Normal
-Ditch SakuyaA
-Beat Extra again
-Beat Phantasm
-
Daaaw, don't beat him up so quickly
The lack of POC during the pre-Chen makes me sad, though.
But no deaths up to Ran, cool.
Border breaks at every opportunity is depressing, though.
General Banquet... Justified, I guess.
Fox Tanuki Laser... I never knew you could do that.
Charming Siege... Making one mistake will screw over the rest of the card. Nay for border breaking.
Tenko... Haha, timeout. Then again, you only made it past Charming Siege once, so I'll be easy.
Ultimate Buddhist... Okay, first time. Learning the transitions would help.
Unilateral contact... Staying close to Ran is suicide.
Chen... You got it.
Contract... Memorize it. :V
Izuna-Gongen... Justified.
-
Wow Sacchi, you actually have a great playstyle even though you have no idea what you're doing half the time. I'm gonna play Extra just for you, because you can easily improve on that run. Hang on just a bit.
-
Damn, I can't tell whether or not to take that post at face value.
-
face value
-
holy shit charming siege
I need to stop playing Phantasm.
-
Awesome. Here's the list of things you need to do now:
-1cc Normal
-Ditch SakuyaA
-Beat Extra again
-Beat Phantasm
-Working on it :V
-Why ditch 4 bombs + Spread unfocused shot + Homing Focused shot? It's just... So... Magical :ohdear:
-Planned on it.
-Gonna take a while, both for the training as well for... Unlocking it, damn me and my memory for always leaving Slow Mode on from the good ol' days :derp:

-How am I supposed to go Up the POC in the middle of such a hell? :ohdear:
-Thanks :D
-I cancel borders to get others faster, and to give me breathing space, expected from a newbie I guess...
-Still need to understand how to do that card.
-Seeing that card over and over in a replay really helps after the hundreth time :V
-NAY BORDER BRAKING? Now I hate that card even more >_>''
-I blame Sakuya's weak attack power.
-Once I realized there where "unused lasers", I figured a transition was gonna come sooner or later, that death was more then unexpected :V
-That was the first thing I thought of actually. That card actually reminds me of my Cirno card I'm doing in danmakufu, gotta finish that someday :derp:
-Yay <3
-Memorization is not really my best, don't have the best of memories for such a thing. Though everything can change I guess ::)
-Honestly? I thought that card was pathetically easy for what I was expecting, the aqua balls got me by surprise, but that was just it.
-
Herp da derp. Charming Siege is preventing me from being able to demonstrate this crazy stuff right.
For the sake of POC, SakuyaA might have to drop a bomb before Chen to get the 200 extend before that.
Aside from that in my replay, General Banquet is captured, Tenko was rather close, Ultimate Buddhist was good...

Well, thanks. Had a look at it and I'm pretty amazed.
Gonna edit as soon as I finish my new run.

I think I'm getting consistent at reading Peerless Wind God. I still can't dodge it well though.
-

If you do it correctly, you end up with 216 point items before Chen without bomb.
Oh, and Sakuya A needs to border break because the cherry gain is crap.
-
Nereid and Topos, how are you two coming along with VoWG?
I haven't touched it in over a month. :V
-
I haven't touched it in over a month. :V
Too busy scorerunning IN I see. :V
-
I play for score even if it means thrusting Reimu into danger :3
My friends mock me for it but their scores shrivel at the sight
of three hundred ninety million points
speaking of IN
my highest score
was 1.2 billion
-
-Why ditch 4 bombs + Spread unfocused shot + Homing Focused shot? It's just... So... Magical :ohdear:
Because she is horribly mediocre! ReimuB and MarisaA is in any sense of the word superior characters. Better damage output, better speed, better characters (lol). Their limited range is not a problem when you start to remember where the enemies come from.
Really, Sakuya is just a character for those who just want the game over with.
..........
But if you really want to you can stick to Sakuya until you are ready to play as a character instead of an exploit.
And go for the Phantasm clear ASAP. Two years ago when i made my first clear of it was three days after my first Extra clear. Those levels are very similar to each other and Yukari is easier in a lot of ways compared to Ran.
And i'll just go take a look at your replay.
EDIT: Okay. Now i have seen it and i must say that i'm pretty impressed. You seem to break borders intentionally a lot of the time. That is a very good strategy for survival. I used it for my first PCB Lunatic clear and was able to clear out pretty much all the hard attacks meaning that i could 1cc without ever doing any stage practice of it.
But you want to wait till' the last second before breaking your border. Sometimes i saw you break it while you still had 10000+ left.
I also noticed some instances of decent dodging. Something that i'm not used to seeing from initial clears as they are rarely anything but resource-abusing skill-less people just barely making it through. This run however was in many ways better than my original clear though. You captured Chen's 1st card. That is really nice. It wasn't until much later on i was able to do that. Rans version is much easier.
Nice going anyway. And go 1cc Normal if you haven't done so already.
-
For the life of me, I can't think of a name for this one. Any help?
Touhou Accomplishments X: IN SPACE
Also, random MS extra run, I 2DNB'd Alice. Both deaths were at the very end of the attack phases (lasers and final), but since I'm now beyond caring about perfects I'll take it to be a good run since it's been months since I played the stage.

Where are all the accomplishment lists :ohdear:

Just a quick question: To unlock Phantasm, does it need to be 100-ish (don't remember the exact number :ohdear:) different cards, or can I, like capture wizard fox thoughts with every character and that counts as 6 captures?
-

No, I think you need to capture 60 distinct cards, but character doesn't matter,
so you can capture card 1 with Marisa, card 2 with Reimu, and that counts as 2,
but capturing the same card with multiple characters only counts as 1.
-
This thread has less than usual opening posts. I am worried.
Eeh, sorry. I've been absorbed by Etrian Odyssey 2. I don't like to think of myself as drifting from Touhou, but I did in fact lose the major thing binding me to the series, so it's inevitable. I'm far from "retiring" though, don't worry.
And I'll accomplishment list when I get the time and motivation.
-
This thread has less than usual opening posts. I am worried.
Sorry, I've run out of easy stuff that everyone else believed to be hard about two threads ago.

PoFV: lol Normal 1cc everyone.
MoF: Normal 1cc everyone, Hard 1cc ReimuB and MariC, Lunatic 1cc with MariC (because she's obviously the best). 90FPS Extra Clear with MariC as well.

LLS: MarisaA Hard 1cc
Extras cleared: LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, Phantasm, IN, MoF, SA
Well, that was simple. Yeah, I'm sorta in limbo right now; I've got Normal mode licked, but I haven't stopped sucking at Hard yet. ;_;

And the others are more awesome. Why would need 4 bombs instead of three anyway? To trivialize the game further?

lololol imagine touhou with the resources of a cave shmup (or pretty much any other arcade shmup)
-
Then i think the only ones i'd be capable of beating is IN, MoF and PCB. And i would probably not ever had gotten into them because the games really relies on either practicing all the attacks to death or making the best of your resources. A resource management game as they say.
-

Cave shmups are for pussies anyway. You should play something manly like Psikyo or Takumi where you're lucky if you get one extend.

I do like some room for error though.

It's a no-focus, spamming lvl 1s and such for fun and out of boredom from failed scoring attempts. Like the description says, I wanted to see how far I could get with it, while hearing the AI's last life warnings and beating the first opponents without trying -- itt Medicine is Aya -- and to see for myself how broken she is, like FallenAngelVeronica once said.
Funny thing is that most other characters take way more effort and/or time to beat the opponents. At least I didn't have to worry about chain timing.. as much.
-
1-bombed UFO Normal Stage 5. The closest I'll ever get to perfecting that stage.
And the funny thing? I used MarisaB.
-
Finally 1cced GFW in Normal (C1) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10683)...
Well...C1 is like one of the easiest route in the game right ?
Seriously...I know why I wasn't able to beat GFW before...
I totally forgot shift...Blame the controls for that.
-
This may not be totally appropriate for this thread, but it doesn't fit anywhere else.
Anyone who has played and despaired over Highly Responsive to Prayers has -got- to see this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIJVyiB4aPY&feature=recentf) It shows every boss in the game perfected on lunatic, at max rank, without shooting. Gohei only. It made my day. :D

I'm pretty good at timing out Eirin's spell Astronomical Entombing by shooting out all the familiars.

So I unlocked Last Word 222. Captured it in 30~ tries. But that was too easy, so I went after it at 90FPS.
Six tries.

Finally beat Yukari. I've now cleared every extra stage in the Windows Touhous, fighting games excluded
because they're not real Touhou games. Whee!
now to beat her with the other five shot types

Does that mean timing out Four of a Kind by getting rid of three is not that big of an achievement?

you have no idea how much I hate you right now.
:ohdear:
In all seriousness, though, good job, but I wanna beat a yukkuri's face in.
-
Well, I declare 150fps to be impossible. In 50 or so attempts I only got past the 5th wave 3 times. :(
-
Alright, since 150 Profound Field is apparently impossible, I raise you a 120FPS Fantasy Heaven.
MeGUI is doing its best now and is preparing. Please watch warmly until it is ready.
Edit: Here we go, all youtubed and ready to go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzo4sNEHhBk). Most intense 18 seconds in the history of intense ever.

D:
I had never really figured out how to capture that card to begin with (my two captures were both extreme luck), so good job. :V
-
Why stick only to fully memorizable cards? Here's something ancient (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHU74MZ4hcM) in the way of a suggestion.
Also, noticed that I had for some reason lost the replay to that one, so I just did it again (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10693), 54 attempts because lol getting used to it again, the first 20 attempts or so ended at the first wave. :V Either way, a much "cleaner" capture, I was barely a lunatic mode player when I did it the first time and it shows.
-
That's like timing out Three Fairies by shooting the other two fairies.
Huh? That is a very bad idea. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrJ0BdwOpRk)
-
Heh. Try SFN at 120 FPS. :V
-
Just got through a perfect Youmu (0 life, 0 bomb, 0 border break) on Easy
Might not be too hard to most people, but I normally die 3-4 times here, so yeah.
-
I don't like to think of myself as drifting from Touhou, but I did in fact lose the major thing binding me to the series, so it's inevitable.
Wait, what? :/
Also bleh, haven't done anything significant in a while, really. 2DNB run of SA Extra the other day (both deaths were on Philosophy :V).
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
FINALLY captured Divine Virtue of Wind God Lunatic, after randomly taking an interest in the card. In the same breath, I failed Kanako's second noncard. Yes, the loleasy one. orz
Oh well, at least that's done with. History is 1/84, replay attached bcos Gensokyo.org is being difficult for some reason.
-
Huh? That is a very bad idea. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrJ0BdwOpRk)

Oh, forgot one thing on my list: Kioh Gyoku 1cc.

Though I can steal your strategy for my 1ccs now :V

Finished IN's extra for my... what, tenth time? I love it.
But this is my best run of it <333
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10708 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10708)
I thank drake for the replay on how to capture fujiyama's volcano.
Also, I captured Phoenix Tail though I bombed on the non-card and that made the game go wtf and say I bombed the card.
-
You haven't seen my timeout, then.
I can't say that I'm impressed due to the fact that you took the approach that cheesed the difficulty of the card whether or not you timed it out (and it looks like you did it on normal unless there's a lunatic replay on the tracker), but I've already seen that same method used by Baity to clear it in some of his Lunatic 1ccs. Needs more dodging IMO. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g89hk6SYd1Q)
-
It was normal mode.
Even then, I wasn't uploading the video to show a demonstration of a timeout, it was a demonstration of how to not fail a 1cc at the last minute. Since 200% motivation for virtually no effort can definitely make or break it whether you fail the card or not.
I could try a pacifist run of the card, but don't expect it to go well (especially when you need to go through 15 minutes before reaching it).
Moreover, tricks for scoring can often be applied to survival (See MarisaC in MoF (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y81UUNOUWlY) and Double Death Butterfly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIqlNnHNVk0)). But since 50% of the population here doesn't really care for scoring, they never watch those high score replays, so I just expose those tactics.

yea only a moran would go scoran

I thought that was how you were usually supposed to use Marisa's frost throwers against bosses when you aren't forced to macrododge enough that the throwers reset.
But since 50% of the population here doesn't really care for scoring, they never watch those high score replays, so I just expose those tactics.
Most of the people here don't upload scoring videos/replays and don't go to royalflare.net. I also see some replays on Royalflare.net that were uploaded by MoTK members that aren't on replays.gensokyo.org, so...

I thought that was how you were usually supposed to use Marisa's frost throwers against bosses when you aren't forced to macrododge enough that the throwers reset.
Missed the point. Getting four frost throwers allows for the quickest possible VoWG in the game, aside from MarisaBugged, which obviously lets a higher spellcard bonus be obtained. See, killing VoWG in 33~ seconds while accounting for dodging is much faster than ReimuB killing it in 41 while sitting under Kanako the entire time and being invulnerable.
There's still a better way to apply four frostthrowers (see the preKanako fairy who drops 2.20 power), but it's still a better option for 1ccing Lunatic than ReimuB. Especially if you hate VoWG or something.
Most of the people here don't upload scoring videos/replays and don't go to royalflare.net. I also see some replays on Royalflare.net that were uploaded by MoTK members that aren't on replays.gensokyo.org, so...
IE, I only learned about speedkilling VoWG (and Kanako and Suwako and Aya in general) by watching the high score replays. Same goes for DDB, where you get ten bajillion seconds of shotgun time while still capturing the card. Since we don't have people who play for score, and can only concentrate on survival, knowing about these things could help them pull off that 1cc.

Alright. Good going.
...
Hmm.
Stage 1. No Bombs no death. Good stuff.
Stage 2. One bomb because of a silly stage mistake. Good Chen performance, but you're not focusing. Which is distracting me. Especially since at the distance you tend to stay at, focusing would be more effective.
Stage 3. Good stuff. Though your tendency to stay unfocused starts to show more drawbacks. Alice's last noncard shouldn't have taken more than two whole loops, but I like listening to that song so I didn't really care.
At this point I was wondering why it took you so many tries to 1cc this.
Stage 4. A few silly mistakes, probably because you don't have it memorized from playing it eleventy bajillion times. Except that I cried a little seeing that first death in the stage.
HOWEVER. Lunasa's spellcard tends to be much easier to read than Lyrica's card. Though Lunasa's noncard is a bit harder than Lyrica's. You bombed against Lyrica's noncard anyways, so it might have been better to go after Lunasa during that first card.
Stage 5. Good stuff up until Midboss Youmu. If you're going to redirect it, you might as well direct it upwards.
Moreover, focusing is very good for cards like 200 Yojana.
And seeing those three deaths to Delusion of Enlightenment made me cringe. It's just streaming...
Stage 6. It might be better to bomb a little earlier during the stage to get as many point items as possible, but you might have just done it to survive. I'm used to the former, so, whatever.
Midboss Youmu was fine. I guess.
During Yuyuko's second noncard, it might be better to stream it from the side slowly so you don't have to turn around every two seconds.
In Deadly Dance, though, I think I'll have to show a replay of a tactic I use to wear down the spellcard armor a bit. I can't describe it very well.
Yuyuko's third card... It's probably best to make as little horizontal movement as possible.
You made some pretty impressive slips in the fourth card, but then you failed it. Nothing to do about it though but figure out where the open spaces will be between the streaming.
Resurrection Butterfly... Alright. You're panicked, it's the final card. Yeah. The dying and bombing is justified, but you should probably figure out how to slip through them up higher.
-
I see shitting on people's accomplishments is becoming a bit of a fad
-
...
Oh dear.
Not that I ever meant to shit on the high point of anyone's Touhou career, 1ccing freaking PCB Normal! Don't you remember how ecstatic you were when you first 1cc'd a Normal mode, unless you're one of those strange STG prodigies?
Dammit, I thought it was a good thing when I decided I was actually gonna watch the replays of people making these normal mode and extra clears for the first time.
-
Then don't say that you "cringed" and that you "cried" and that it's "distracting you" and all the lecturing and the tone you used throughout.

Hello!
Constructive criticism is generally always welcome when replays are posted, and we are grateful for any efforts that get put forth. With this in mind, we advise one choose their words with a bit of care while providing help, lest the intentions behind one's help be misconstrued. There was a non-trivial length of time when people in this forum would shit on the accomplishments of others, and though we believe that era is mostly over, we are still a bit cautious when it comes to monitoring advice.
Fast Fanatic, I believe your intentions were not malicious, and that you instead merely chose a couple of less-than-optimal words, so everyone may consider this no more than a friendly reminder.
Thanks!

I don't care
I don't fucking care
I won
And that's totally good enough for me
:toot:
I started getting agitated to Delusion btw
Dying once was enough to unhinge me
And that always happens
So now you know
If I die at all post Stage 4 then the rest of my lives are quick to follow
Prismrivers suck
I've capped Lunasa's card, I've capped Merlin's card, but Lyrica's is freaking impossible
200 Yojana is a hit-or-miss; I have a ~30% success rate for it
I hate all of Yuyuko's cards
All of them
And I know I nearly died eleventy bajillion times in Repository of Hirokawa
And please elaborate for me my silly mistakes in stage 4
that don't entail the boss fight
(unfocusing gives me a few more cherry points which is my entire motivation for it)
-
Okay. Went for a look. It seems the scoreboard is 50% ghosts and 50% active users. That's looking at Lunatic. Didn't bother with the rest.
I don't care

That's the proper attitude. Who cares if you you died three times to something that usually is easy. That's happened on a lot of my initial 1cc's.
-
I've capped Lunasa's card, I've capped Merlin's card, but Lyrica's is freaking impossible
Hilariously, Lyrica's card is way easier on Hard and Lunatic than it is on Normal. She's basically a breather in between the tough opening and ending parts of the fight, which rules.

Getting walled post-Lily, requiring a bomb. Dying about 4/5s of the way through.

IIRC, you only died once.
Also, I'm sorry if I came across as an elitist prick. Wasn't there a replay critique thread some time ago, though? I think it'd be better so I don't come across as being criticizing if people just wanna say they 1cc'd UFO Extra or something.

I've claimed third place on MoF Lunatic. SA could take some improvement though. PCB/IN can go die somewhere as far as scoring is concerned though. Huge pile of memorization garbage that.
MoF's my favorite one because i don't like the idea of suiciding for points.

If you're going for top score, memorization is just unavoidable. The way I see it, if I play a game enough for fun and do some light scoring, I'll memorize it anyway, so I don't find it a big deal. It is unfortunate that MoF rewards full game memorization very early in it's scoreboards, or I'd probably play it more. SA is quite a bit of fun to score in, and probably has the most room for improvement, as was made evident by PondeSuika beating UKT's WR score of 4.5 billion by a few more million points a few days ago. Based on Ponde's run, Moozooh (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1089) calculated a theoretical limit of ~4.85 billion points, meaning there is still a lot of room to improve (you can see Moozooh's professional analysis of the situation here (http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21701&p=623412#p623412), it's quite a fascinating read, if you're interested). UFO best rewards steady improvement with steady gains on score, but some people don't like the game so :(
-
That's why i usually instead of going for top score go for a decent score.

Sorry, Love. Remilia made me do it.
So that's Suwako, Mokou, and now Ran. This one actually took me the shortest amount of time from the start of practice to beating the boss. Failures abound again (I bombed like 22 times or something ridiculous, plenty of times more than I needed to), but I managed to do pretty well regardless.

Huh? I didn't get many spell cards and that's before the little multiplier at the end.
-
You can get more points than that before you even get into the bossfight if you know what you're doing :> You should POC more! At least aim for the 800 point extend if you go back and play it again.
-

I suck at Touhou, plainly put.
I got almost exactly as many points as you did at my second game over on Ultimate Buddhist.

There's plenty of POC there in the first place. Diving head first into a wall of 4 faeries and still getting away with all the points I could was a common occurrence.
-
I see. You didn't post a replay so I don't know how you handle the stage portion, but by the time you finish the fight you should have 800+ point items if you've grabbed them all. Somewhere along the way you fumbled about 250 items! Just something to shoot for if you decide to revisit the stage :>

I doubt it. I POC to the point of absurdity and I have a knack for not missing any
idkidc but I can't break 500 before Ran period
I'm doubting she drops enough to remedy that
-
It's possible. There are less point items than I remember there being, though. If you do everything right you'll get the last extend after the survival card. Still, it's good form to get all the point items you can, especially when there are extra lives to be had.
Saying "at least aim for 800" was silly of me. That's like saying "at least aim for 4.5 billion in SA," haha.

Oh man you're making Wizard Fox Thoughts so much harder than it needs to be! Don't try to cross over, just keep tapping over in the same direction. Ran will follow you, just like she does in the next spell. Some of the bursts aren't even aimed at you, they're aimed around you. You basically just have to go "is the point of this wave going to hit me? If so, tap over, if not, stay still. "Also, for Ultimate Buddhist, you want to be circling around pretty close to Ran (not so close you touch her obviously) so that the red manji is never close to hitting you. The red bullets are all aimed directly at you so once you get the timing of the switch down you'll be able to capture it every time.
Overall, though, you handled it well. Well done on Izuna Gongen especially, that spell is way hard.

In review, there is much room for improvement.
Youkai Laser might be easy now but Mesh of Light and Darkness is slaughter.
In fact, it claimed my last life on my current record.
Phantasm Cards
Ran 1 (2/16)
Ran 2 (0/13)
Yukari 1 (1/3)
Yukari 2 (0/2)
Yukari 3 (0/1)
-
Ran 1 is just streaming. Ran 2, I think Ran moves the same way as Chen.
Yukari 1 is streaming, but watch carefully and don't move too far.
Yukari 2 - move around counter clockwise in a circle, make sure the familiars aren't too close together
(you can also stream the familiars from left to right, but I've never tried that)
Yukari 3 - uhhh... just don't get trapped at the bottom I guess, I don't have a strategy.
-
THIS IS WHY BORDER BREAKS BEING A CONDITION OF FAILURE MAKES ME ANGRY

I have timed out all of Orin's spells now except for her 1st card. Capturing it isn't too bad normally but timing it out. Then those fairies spouting pellets gets annoying.

Quite a nice reward isn't it? From Easy to Normal to Hard Reimu had less and less clothes at the ending picture. Lunatic disappoined.
ZUN should go back to awarding pictures of the character when you win. It made it more interesting to go through all difficulties with both characters.

I have, however, in one instance, made it to Yukari's Spiriting Away.
I don't like that card. It can die.
XSC is easy, I agree. I have 1/1 on it.

Hands are still shaking and I still can't believe this happened, but I did it. EoSD hard 1cc :D. Didn't even have the hitbox patch running either (I got that uninstalled a long time ago).
First hard 1cc for a Touhou game ever for me to boot which is why I'm shaking so much I would suspect.
The kicker is that this is my first time playing EoSD in months and only the first attempt I tried this day. Wasn't even being serious about it either, just me firing up a random game and having a little fun.
Funny how I cleared given my struggles from stage 4 onwards on top of dying twice due to fairies ramming me and one death with a bomb or two in stock to Remi.
But yeah...*Dances like a happy little critter*
-
EoSD Hard despite not clearing any other Hards? Nice one. You shouldn't have that much trouble with the rest of the bunch then. Except for UFO. Some people got that weird idea that its Hard mode is harder than EoSD on Lunatic.

Because you messed up completely and thought I was agreeing with Zengeku. :derp:

Oh, this is great...
I've just got to clear SA Extra with MariA and MariB to call it done.
And I got my first Genetics of the Subconscious capture... With ReimuB at three power? Took 72 damn seconds...
-
But it is!
Silly you. Of course it isn't. UFO Hard is UFO before the game gets so hard that resource gathering get's troublesome. Besides, the patterns are much easier on Hard than on Lunatic.
You are good enough to handle the game at that setting without too much hazzle. Judging on your skills in the rest of the series. If anything, you just find EoSD much easier than I do. Unless you want to state that MS, SA and PoDD Lunatic is easier too. Then its just you that are odd.
-
LLS: Hard 1cc
MS: Normal 1cc
EoSD: Normal 1cc
IaMP: Lunatic 1cc
MoF: Hard 1cc
UFO: Easy 1cc (Still trying for Normal Mode...)

Played the Gengetsu script for the first time in a while, went how you'd expect. However, I successfully dodged an entire wave of Gengetu Spark, and didn't even use death bullet clearing! I take this as a victory.

Second time playing MoF Stage 5 Lunatic in a while, perfected it again. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10778) (first time was a stupid death pre-midboss) Not bad after the long break I've been taking from Touhou.

Seriously, though, I know I'm not near there -- I'm still working on normal 1ccs for all but PCB and MoF (and I still haven't bought SA :derp:) I thought it was neat to pull this off after watching yet another EoSD run end on Scarlet Shoot, though.
And .... 73 cards and still haven't unlocked Phantasm, lol. I might try to go for 80, but the only non-Lunatic card I have yet to capture out of the first three stages is that icky thing called Douman-Seiman.
-
Finally captured Catwalk on lunatic today, after about 20 or so tries. That makes every ReimuA SA card a capture.
Edit: 1DNB Orin; this really is not that hard of a boss fight.
Edit: and perfected the stage portion as well! Now to put the two of them together...
-
I think I might have found a way to ease post-midboss-Alice as MarisaA. Now if only I can put together a good run for boss-Alice, a full perfect run might be possible.
-
2DNB SA stage 5 run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10787). I die to Catwalk, predictably, but also to Zombie Fairy, which alternates with getting clipped on Ghost Wheels as the source of my deaths on Orin. On the plus side I get a nice capture of the popcorn spam.
Is this the most fun stage in all of Touhou? I think so.

I was eating some smarties at the time :3
And the funny thing is, I played it earlier with shooting and focusing and died to PSS and Ichirin's midboss spell and then stopped after a stupid death at the very beginning of stage 4.
-
First stab at Phantasm in a long time. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10799) I swear my approach to Yukari's second card was total improv. :V There's also a BoLaD capture, glad to see I can still do that.
-
IN Hard 90fps 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10801), second try (not counting restarting due to stupid crap on stage 1 or 2).
First try was game over on Hourai Jewel :(
-
Perfect MoF Stage 3 Lunatic. Too bad the run went completely downhill with Aya.
-
It probably seems a silly thing to celebrate for more experienced touhou players, as I know Imperishable NIght has a reputation for being quite an easy touhou game when played with the border team.
Nonetheless, last week I succeeded in completing the game on Normal, without using a single continue, using just the border team =)
I'm quite satisfied considering that it's the only touhou game that I've so far managed to complete on any difficulty other than Easy.

No Deaths Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10803)
I bombed 4 times during the run. Once during a stage part that I find to be BS. Then at the end of the stage cause I often mess that up and I ruined any chance of perfect earlier anyway. Perfected Yukari outside of BoLaD where I bombed twice because I fail at that card as well as Ran's easier version.
Now I want to try to break a billion, but I'm not sure how to get that many more points.
Edit: I did break a border on the stage, oops on the replay link saying I didn't.

Funny, I thought Imperishable Night was one of the harder ones. Well, Reisen, at least.
Her cards madden me.
I got past Butterfly in The Zen Temple! :toot:
Ran out of resources on the nonspell after Double Death Butterfly and lost.
-
But that one is just streaming, isn't it?
-
Double Black Death Butterfly (Satori, lunatic version) timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10805); this one had eluded me for quite some time. That makes all ReimuA Satori cards timed out, plus the boss perfected.
-
But that one is just streaming, isn't it?
Maybe it is, but I panicked because everything was moving so fast ;-;
-
Panicking tends to happen.
But do you have replays of these things? Unless you'd rather not have me shit on your accomplishments give elitist criticism hand helpful advice.
-
PCB Stage 4 always takes some getting used to when I pick it back up. Finally managed to perfect the post-Lily stuff again, and I captured the death-fairy for what feels like the first time. I'm also proud of how I captured the Prismrivers' last card.
Of course I'm still nowhere close to a full perfect run, what are you crazy? :V
-
Shoot the Little Moon timeout, Flashlight Spark timeout, FDR Gold <edit> + timeout. Last phase is win.
Might also have found a way to capture / timeout Open Universe.
-
Just now, my very first clear of Phantasm with 4 lives left. Yay to defeating mai Waifu.

Woot, I finally broke the 30m mark on Double Spoiler.
Now, I should really stop distracting myself from studying.

Retarded Ways to Clear Easy Spell Cards: Episode 1 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10808)
-
OMG finally cleared StB Scene 7-8. Took so much longer than it should have, because fuck the timing of the big red bulbs. Feels so good to never have to do it again. :V
Also, StB seems to be faring better with first impressions than DS. I'm up to 8-4, and although there were some "hard" ones before this point, 7-8 is the only one I would call frustrating. I expect things to get harder, but hopefully a bunch of them will actually be fun to learn.
-
Funny, I thought Imperishable Night was one of the harder ones. Well, Reisen, at least.
Her cards madden me
Fun fact: Reisen is probably the easiest Stage 5 boss alive.
-
Are you sure you're not forgetting about a certain florist? :V
-
I find Sanae easier. Sanae just has that second boss card that's difficult.
Reisen has Illusion Seeker, whatever her third card was called, and Telemesmerism. Of course, that last one is just bonus thankfully.
-
Shingyoku is the easiest stage 5 boss. BV
-
Fun fact: Reisen is probably the easiest Stage 5 boss alive.
Youmu: 2 deaths and 3 bombs
Sanae: 3 deaths and 1 bomb
Rin: 2 deaths and 4 bombs
Shou: 1 death and 3 bombs
Eientei Stage: 2 deaths and 3 bombs
Reisen: 3 deaths and 6 bombs

After I learned how to not suck entirely at Normal mode, Shou was the first stage 5 boss I perfected on Normal mode...
And with MarisaB.

Alright. Stop there. How? The stage portion of IN Stage 5, especially on Normal, has got to be one of the easiest levels in shmup history. I want you to upload a replay of how an average Stage 5 run goes for you. There is obviously something you are doing very wrong.
As for your boss list there. It seems that the order of difficulty is different on Normal mode. I wouldn't know. Its all the same to me. You seem to handle Shou pretty well which is nice. What i don't understand then is why Sanae and Reisen are being such a problem for you.
Both bosses are just about doing the cards in the right manner and then you basically can't loose. And that's not just speaking from a Lunatic's point of view. I found them to be easy bosses when i was playing Normal too.
So yeah, why don't you upload a replay in which you try your best against Sanae as well.
Shingyoku is the easiest stage 5 boss. BV
Who?

I 1CCd MOUNTAIN OF FAITH.....on easy mode....A big achievement for me considering the only other game I can 1cc is Imperishable Night easy mode. I can't 1cc PCB on easy and I can't even clear any of the other games on easy. Can't beat Okuu at all and I can't even get to stage 6 on UFO (Curse you Shou!). I was doing so well until Kanako's final spell card...OMG wall of death after wall of death and curse that damn bomb immunity. I got through the whole game without loosing a single life and only bombing a few times, until Kanako at least. I got taken all the way down to 1 life and 1.00 power and just BARELY won, another second and I would have lost.... If only it was one of the ones that let you see the good endings on easy mode....
Adding my input to ongoing topic. I find Shou to be the hardest stage 5 boss. Reisen is the easiest for me and one of my favorite bosses, Mainly because of Visionary Tuning.
Since I'm already here Ill go ahead and add one of my other achievements. A long time back I randomly played through a practice of Keine's stage. I had watched a piano rendetion of Plain Asia and I got the urge to fight her. I played her on normal and was actually able to not only get to her Last Spell card, but I captured it! What makes this so amazing is that 1, I wasn't even trying to unlock it and 2, It was the very first time I had ever even seen the card let alone get a Last Spell . It really scared the crap out of me cause I wasn't expecting it to happen
Video if anyone is interested, have have a few other vids up too if you'd like to comment and give me some advice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDxlkCafya8
-
Try to 1CC PCB on easy next. The massive amounts of bullet spam in the latter stages will help you become more confident.
-
Well, I just unlocked deflation world. And guess what? I already had 2 lucky-ass dodges (PS: I know there's the "touhou lucky dodges" thread, but... The last post was on october 28th, don't want to do necromancy.)
Luckiest Newbie Dodge ever. (http://img602.imageshack.us/i/th001.png/)

Not really, she's still there, she is just playing hide & seek :3
Anyways, Deflation world clear.
It was much easier than I expected, but damn, was it fun.
EDIT: OCRAP, wrong replay.

that was fun. Am i right to assume that those dagger that appear out of no where always appear right next to you?

No, the knives that "appear outta nowhere" are the time-compressed knives, they appear in a straight line forward and backward of all blue knives, the reason why they get so close is because Sakuya shoots tons of aimed knives.
As for the replay?
Dude, you... Might actually be better than me in MOF, and I already did a normal 1cc, seriously, even on easy I can't PERFECT all 5 stages...
But It looks like you have some real troubles with Kanako, I will make a little replay to help you, ok? I'm no pro, but I can help.
EDIT: Alrighty, Here it is (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10840)
I think it's a 1 death run, yes, I already forgot, not that I keep track of that anyways.
For the enemies with ring-like danmaku on the stage portion, it's all aimed at you, keep quiet, wait, sidestep, remember to do a second quick sidestep to avoid whatever's left though.
For her first card, I recommend getting to her face and bombing. Annoying as hell.
For her second non-spell, sorry, can't really help you there, but you have your ways so...
And, yes this is a normal run, but the same strategies apply, though: her final spellcard is EASIER in normal than on easy, good luck >_>''
-
Ah, ok I see now. More proof that I can't read patterns to save my life XD. Accursed Sakuya and your unlimited daggers.
A playthrough vid would be a great help, just please explain what your doing because as I've already proved I can't figure out patterns very well just from watching >_>
EDIT: fought her again and did a tad bit better. Actually had a few lives left at the end ^_^

Oh, like on youtube? With annotations keeping track of what you should do and stuff? Well, I could do that, But I gotta sleep early today because I have to wake up real early tomorrow. But if that's the case I could have it ready by late afternoon tomorrow.
But if you just mean a full playthrough in replay form, sure, I could do that after dinner (AKA in around 20 minutes :derp:)

which ever would work best for you. I only need stage 6. I want to at least be able to moderately survive her before trying to tackle her on normal >_>

Shoot the Bullet all 85 scenes cleared. (http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8230/shootthebulletallscenes.jpg)
Yeah baby. Took only four days, with school taking up most of my time anyway. Now if only I can actually make more progress on DS to compliment this...
I also realized that this Sunday marks one year since I started playing Touhou. My how times flies. I don't know if I'll have anything big ready for that day, but if I don't then clearing all of StB will count for that.
-
Congratz!
Ugh, I can't stand StB though. the controls are way too unwieldy for me.
-
It's her normal focus speed that's the problem - it's way too fast to do any sort of micrododging whatsoever. Aya's charging speed is also too slow to handle attacks like those seen in the normal shooters, but fortunately StB has some attacks designed for said really slow dodging speed, so it balances out.
-
It's the radically different gameplay that's the problem. I also can't stand PoFV. GFW, also gives me trouble but I still prefer that one over PoFV and StB/DS
EDIT!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!! UFO easy mode 1cc!!! I also captured all of Hijiri's spell cards! scratch that ! I PERFECTED HER SEXY LITTLE ***! Would have almost perfected the entire stage had i not screwed up in the stage portion, I saved myself with a deathbomb though :3
I was literally on the edge of my seat with adrenaline VERY high. I really screwed up with stage 5 so I entered stage 6 with only a few lives. The fact that I even got to Hijiri was amazing enough, With each survived non-spell card and every captured card the heart started beating that much faster. Massive confidence booster. Next I will need to see if I can finally 1cc PCB...not tonight though. Even if they where on easy mode I still 1ccd TWO games today. My heart cant take much more....
Before I forget, here is my replay file. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10852

Here's that run crimson, I did what I could though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvQpdXftPU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvQpdXftPU)
And yes, it took me much longer than expected, how would I know that it would take 30 minutes to render and 2 frickin' hours to upload? Freaking youtube :ohdear:
-
Many blessings upon your family~!
Stupid Snake Bitch. At least she didn't give me as much trouble as that gluttonous ghost when I first fought her. Took me MONTHS just to get to the point where I could beat her without loosing every single life I had. I swear for the first few weeks after I beat PCB on easy I couldn't actually beat her in practice mode again XD.
Now lets see if I can put some of these methods to practice today :D

So yeah, I finally managed to get DS working on my new computer. To add to the accomplishments, captured a bunch of new cards, bringing my total to 98. Doubt I'll finish the rest anytime soon, but whatever.
-
Now do it with Hatate :V
-
Im on a roll :D 1cc PCB easy mode. Not only that, I finally captured Yuyuko's survival card ^_^
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10868 for anyone interested
-
As for the replay itself. That was a pretty amazing run, sure, stupid deaths here and there, but hey, you're a newbie, it happens.
...But who am I to call another one a newbie anyways? :V
Looking at that replay made me want to do 2 things:
1- Look at the world record replay again :V
2- 1cc Normal with ReimuB
brb.
EDIT:
I...Can't believe I died on her survival...
That's what I get for fooling around on the first 3 stages and on the stage portion of stage 4. ._.''
-
Ouch...
Yeah I did have some stupid deaths, PCB is one of the harder ones for me. Not to mention It has been a really long time since I played PCB so I didn't have my rhythm...
btw, did anyone notice the edit I made up top for my UFO easy 1cc? Probably my biggest achievement so far :D
-
I saw it, and, I can only say one thing:
What
The
Fuck
How did you manage to do that?
Seriously.
Anyways, Ignore the blue UFOs, they are only good for scoring, trust me.
The rule of thumbs in the final stage is to go for yellow UFOs if you aren't at best 3 pieces of life from gaining a new one.
And get more red UFOs. Seriously.
I'm gonna do my own run now, brb.
-
I don't know how I did it either!
I try to get reds but I always mess up. Ill either miss it because of a wall of danmaku or it will change color the second I pick it up. I really hate the UFO system >_<
-
Recollecting UFOs is a hard task indeed, you will notice in MY replay that I give everything I have (Including bombs) and a little more to gain those UFOs.
But I gotta agree, the UFO system does suck. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10878)

I laughed when you bombed "Most Valuable Vajra" XD

...Or second most powerful, can't remember if wily toad deals more damage.
As for fighting shou again, curvy fucking lazers, nobody can withstand that. It's the kind of fight you either improvise completely, or practice until you're hax.

x_X Parsee is the hardest stage 2 boss for me
Taken from TvTropes
■Parsee Mizuhashi, the Stage 2 boss is probably the worst relative to her position in the game; when she shows up as a midboss halfway through the level, her spellcard tracks the player's location and follows them around, an ability that's usually exclusive to endgame bosses.
I don't like her for the Grandpa Hanasaka set.
Static bullets rank one notch higher on the Great Annoyance list than curved lasers.

I was so close, I just had to finish the game. And just in time too. It's after midnight where I am, so it's now officially been one year since I started playing Touhou (not that anyone cares about that :V). Considering how, well, "not fun" I find DS to be, it's enough of an accomplishment I even had the patience to clear the rest of the game. I never want to deal with Aya's wonky control scheme again. Unless ZUN makes another photography game that is.

Mmkay, so it's been so long since I've played MoF that I can't get past Momiji now.
It's not that she's my brick wall, no, it's that I just so happen to have zero lives and 2.x power left whenever I get to her.

Lagging computers totally sucks when it comes to danmaku games. Also, when you are playing MoF and just want to 1cc you can bomb pretty much any attack that you find to be too hard for you. And no, it won't spoil you.

Now do it with Hatate. :P
Iirc i only had to spend a few hours clearing house with her. Her faster reloading speed breaks some cards.
-
But then her zero-range camera makes other cards ridiculously hard (10-6 comes to mind). So it's pretty much a trade-up, neither is overall easier to use than the other.

That was something I was trying for a while but just couldn't get. Tried it a few times earlier and actually got it. Satori did kind of go easy on me, but I'll take it.

I don't even have the stage unlocked for that one or MarisaC. And I never captured any of the Alice ones, though I could probably time out the Straw Doll one.

Perfect SA stage 3 lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10891). This isn't very hard, but I'm counting it as an accomplishment since it took me about 5 tries, after not touching the stage for 3 months.

On the subject of Nitori,
I have the second and final recollection captured on Lunatic after 6 tries at the fight. That first one is quite tough though. Oh, also timed out the final one, but that thing is easy, and I think it may pretty much be the same as the MoF one. I think that final one was actually harder on the lower difficulties.
Edit: 6 tries that actually got to them.
Edit: Just captured the first Nitori Recollection as well. 10 tries total.

I'm sure people here don't know how stubborn I can be sometimes when it comes to video games. Perhaps this will show you that I am. I know I said I didn't want to touch the photography games again, but for some odd reason I felt like I had to do more with DS.

Okay, now I can put this one to rest. No way am I interested in scorerunning this game. About time I got back to practicing SA scorerunning, actually.
-
Given that you are the memorization dude i can understand why you appreciate scorerunning in a Touhou game OTHER than DS and StB.
Those are fun to grind score in. :)
Also, timed out Danmaku Paranoia without focus. It sounded like a dreadful task but it wasn't. It was really easy in fact. What wasn't easy was another thing LR asked me to. Capturing Catwalk without focus.
I pulled it off but given how poor my capture rate is on it normally... yikes. Finally i timed out Okuu's 1st card on Normal with Marisa without focusing. Who the heck said that card was harder than the lunatic version?

Perfect Stage 1 Lunatic. MOF

Not in that regard, no. That spell is quite over-the-top for a normal card though. Still easy stuff because its so slow but then again - Normal mode was always pathetic.
Lunatic Red made me play a lot of Normal mode. The bullets basically dodge themselves. Anyway, i've done some accomplishments:
Ahemm. Pacified Koishi's "Release of the Id" and "Super Ego" in the same run. Became rather intense because of their long timer and weird pattern.
I also did a 1DNB timeout of Rorschack in Danmaku. Stupid death. I'm also supposed to time out Embers of Love. I hate that card. Its the embodiment of a card that cannot kill you without walling you... i don't know how it works anyway.
And a timeout of Hells Tokamak. 2 attempts it took. Finally i pulled off a timeout of Parsee's 2nd spell on Normal under the condition of having to shoot the fake Parsee everytime. Surprisingly tough. Three tries but whoa it still looked scary.

First time playing EOSD in four months and at 120 FPS- getting to Post-Koakuma and Pre-Patchy before dying.
That was... interesting.
If I can do that, then a normal speed 1CC shouldn't be far off.
-
I can barely GET to Patchy on normal. I beat her once on normal and that was it.
-
In my latest attempt at PCB Lunatic I managed to capture Spring Kyoto Doll (a first!), Hanged Hourai Doll and Lily White's midboss attack (another first!) in one run.
...now only if Chen doesn't kick my ass every time she sees me on Lunatic. Me actually accepting the need to develop a bombing reflex would help too.

I haven't done anything special myself though. DId a timeout of Recollection "Pandemonium" Lunatic. It wasn't really hard but one impressive dodge was present.

[21:41] <Kuruminut> I told myself going into Nue that this would be the run, and I was right!

Well, there's only Nue, Koishi and Flandre. Maybe GFW, if you care for it.

No. >_> I made doubly sure this time I started with three. I hope you aren't insinuating I did that on purpose last time.
Also a fun fact: After that 1cc, I tried extra. Died on Scarletty, but on a slow bullet when a wall wave wasn't even close. Then around Maze of Love I decided I didn't want to circle around at all and died there too. I'm surprised I cleared at all (0/1), since I lost all drive to do anything but screw around at that point.

Fuck Fucking Yeah! That was close, but I made it! Also, would a 5.6% slowdown be considered passable? The game kept lagging after S4 (since I found a fix to shot button lock that involves tapping Alt, but it gave the game a slight bug, where the letter pressed and a cursor would appear in top left corner like in the notepad and the game lagged a little because of that. Not that I dodged anything thanks to the lag).

Nah, it's cool. I know for a fact that lag, especially in SA, doesn't help. =_= Good job, SA is probably the hardest normal to 1cc, at least the first time.

Memorize the stage portions to get to the boss with max lives.
This is more difficult on Nue though, having the hardest stage portion besides GFW.
QED is the hardest last spell of all of them, so you need to prepare for that, plus Flandre stage gives only 4 lives.
Plus side is that Flandre has some easy spells (easily capped or 1-bomb) and nonspells.
Koishi is doable if you get _lots_ of practice (100+ attempts reaching her),
and somehow becomes easy after you beat her.
Her cards tend to mess with your mind (like the heart cards), so practice to get around that hurdle.
Once you get over it, those cards are actually quite doable.
Genetics is not that scary - just memorize a route and never try to dodge 2 waves at the same time.
-
Ha ha, I finally did it! I can finally add Yukari to my "one mistake" list. Screwed up BoLaD as expected (when you don't know how to cheese it out it really is one of the toughest spell cards in the series), but perfected the rest of her. Welcome to the group Yukarin~
For reference, here's the current list:
Magic Stones, stage 5 Yuka, the 'getsus, EX Alice (I think, my best may be a 2DNB), Sakuya, Remilia, Flandre, Yukari, Marisa, Kanako, Suwako, Orin, Utsuho, Shou, Nue
I'm so awesome. :V

I dunno. I think maybe that you did once. But if you started out with just three lives then i suppose your run went pretty well. Haven't played the game much myself since the 1cc.
If just hitboxes weren't inconsistent...

I've unlocked yukari's last word and got to the sixth wave, on my first try and got the blind spot right.
Failed miserably, also, anybody has any freaking advice for fucking fantasy heaven? Seriously, those last 5 seconds ALWAYS get me, and I got the rest of the card mapped out :ohdear:
-
Now with more NEET (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10967)
I said this in the other thread, but you should unfocus more during the stage portions. Yukari's shot doesn't lock on unless you're underneath the enemy, whereas Reimu's amulets will hit stuff anywhere on the screen. The beginning of stage 2 and some of stage 4 would be easier and more profitable for you if you'd use Reimu instead of Yukari there. In stage 4 this has the added benefit of killing most of the enemies before they can shoot at you, which means you don't have to dodge things and you can POC if you feel like it.
Not sure why you were timing out random stuff in the early game. It won't really do anything for you score and it just adds more margin for error, so I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to improve your score, it's best to work on minimizing your deaths and bombs first. Capturing extra spells will give you way more time orbs than grazing stuff, and the extra bombs/lives will help your end of game bonus as well.
Keine would be easier for you if you'd use Reimu to shoot down some of her familiars. The midboss part isn't too bad if you focus the whole time but her bossfight noncards are real hard if you do that. Since there's that long gap directly beneath Keine in both of them, you can just sit there and fire unfocused for a while to blow up her front row of familiars. That makes her much, much more manageable.
For Kaguya's last spells:
1) I position myself right below the line under the spellcard name when it shows up on the screen. Then, just slowly tap down when you need to avoid the big bullets. If you time it right you can do this no-horizontal, but if you move down a little too much there's time to move left or right near the end of the card.
2) You seem to understand how this works (move somewhere where the bullets aren't going to hit you and stay there) but it's hard to pull off in practice. If there's a good method to capture this consistently I don't know it :X
3) This one is just timing your dodges. I do this novert to keep it simple. Just hang out for a bit until it looks like you're gonna get hit soon, then move left or right into a new 'space'.
4) It's best to start this one on the far left or right side, so you can stream the big red bullets when they start coming out. This is a hard card to capture, but if you last a bit longer you won't lose as much time on your clock.
5) This is probably her hardest last spell and you captured it, so hell yeah :D
So, yeah! You did pretty well on a lot of hard stuff (you handed the Marisa fight pretty well, for example) but if you're looking for places to improve your run these are some things you could look at. If there are any specific spells that give you a really hard time you should ask about those in the spellcard help topic; IN has spell practice mode so it's not hard to learn and practice new methods for stuff.
oh and uh I'm assuming when you were asking for people to 'shit on your accomplishment' you meant 'help me find ways to make my numbers go up' so that's what this is; if this isn't OK let me know :> I'm not tryna say your run wasn't good, I'm just trying to help you get even better!

I think Grudge Bow is killing me.

I'm not really sure how to set up danmakufu properly..or something, so the music is a bit wonky at parts. Fortunately the best tracks are unscathed. If anybody has any advice for spellcards I suck at I'd appreciate it (suika's slow moving red-bullet spam, Shinki's final spellcard, though I think that's just lack of skill on my part, uhh, pretty much anything anybody notices I'm just doing wrong (Yukari's grid-like move I've since figured out myself).

I actually don't remember if I did this yet, but MoF Stage 4 Lunatic perfect stage portion. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11008) Both waterfall mazes done with standard cutbacks, so no cheesing the first by hugging the left wall and stuff, and a legit gameplan for the second. Also noteworthy that I did this on my older laptop, whose arrow keys are much more sensitive (thus I have less control).
Another replay for a "whole stage" standard, MoF Stage 4 Lunatic 1D1B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11009) Where was the bomb? On the last attack of the stage portion (I let the crows corner me ::)). Where was the death? At the very end of Peerless Wind God (I really should have dodged that). But I'm otherwise happy with this run, which has an even better capture of the post-Momiji maze (again done with normal cutbacks).
-
Attempted a normal PCB Lunatic and ended at Yuyuko's 3rd card. Apparently those butterfly popping lasers (for the lack of a better term) stays after I break a border deliberately. I probably could've made it to resurrection butterfly if that didn't totally catch me by surprise =O But on the other hand, considering that this is like my fourth or fifth serious try at PCB lunatic (also any lunatic period), it's not bad. A little bit more capturing early on and less dying with bombs and I probably could stand a chance at an 1cc, and with Sakuya-A too!
-
And finally i got done with my project. Or one of my projects anyway. The Mountain of Faith Lunaitc Walkthrough.

I just figured out that Hourai Jewel wasn't hard like i thought it was. Now its your turn to realize the same thing with UFO Hard. :D
EDIT: Slight change. Its easy to remember and much easier to execute when going for a timeout. When going for a capture gets a little more tricky but nothing insurmountable.
-
But the general strategy of Hourai Jewel is easy to figure out because it's basic streaming with some patterned bullets.
It's just the execution of how you do it that's the problem.

But the general strategy of Hourai Jewel is easy to figure out because it's basic streaming with some patterned bullets.

My current strategy works consistently given that you don't fuck it up. When streaming to the left there as you get close to the wall, you will need to dash under a green bullet. Then when streaming right and you approach the wall then you dash under a red one. Of course its hard to explain in words given that there are many green and red bullets and you have to keep a certain pace to do it.
-
I think the hardest part though is the speed of the patterned bullets.
If they weren't there then I would easily be able to cap it, even the lunatic ver., where aimed bullets are being shat like bricks.

Finished the ReimuB and MarisaB Satori captures on Lunatic. Now I just need to get Spring Kyoto Dolls and Return Inanimateness to have all her Lunatic cards captured.
I don't even have them all captured on any difficulty, and I don't really care to go back and get them done on the other 3.

Im' sorta drunk right now so take this 70% seriously okay?

No need to bother. If you have capped the Lunatic versions then the rest of them will be trivial in comparison.
Where would you start to make this strategy possible?
As i said, its hard to put into words. I start around the middle. Move through the bullet formation and stream from left to right. I'll upload something to showcase it soonish. I'm pretty stoned right now. My friends just had me drink a crapload of alcohol.

Update:
Best UFO run to date.
Had I not bombed her second noncard due to getting pissed off at clipping it all the time due to bad microtapping skills, I would have had a perfect Kogasa battle.
Game over on Murasa, due to, after perfecting her first three attacks, dying twice to Sinking Vortex, which I usually had no problems with.
Also had to use a bomb the midboss, ridding me of an extra life, but whatever, screw that.

I've never had a 1cc like this. Derped my way past Youmu, so felt bad going into Stage 6. I then proceed to have a really good Yuyuko fight, including capturing her last three cards. How I didn't die at points I don't know, especially at Repository of Hirokawa when I couldn't even see my sprite.
Great ending to what looked to be a bad run. :D
-
Captured Greatest Treasure "cold". Haven't touched UFO Stage 5 in a long time, so it's good to see I can actually read something like that as well as I did on my first try of the night.
It's also feels like an accomplishment every time I capture boss-Ichirin's second card (which I did do again tonight). That attack is no fun...
-
So I had the great idea today of giving VoWG an upgrade by running the game at 75 fps. What resulted was a 3DNB timeout run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11058), in which after the derpy death at 100s I had probably the most amazing 60s run I will ever experience against this card. 75 fps is how VoWG is meant to be played! Someone better at the game should actually try for the timeout at this speed; it's so much more fun than the normal 60 fps.
-
UFO Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11059)
Finally, I say. I never want to try capturing the blue orb spam sections again. Or Ichirin's second boss card, for that matter.
-
Yay, I timed out Rorschach in Danmaku... and captured it at the same time!
wait what

What's wrong with her second? I can see some complaints about KKS but her second is pretty tame.

I think you meant to say 90.

Eh, I'm not fond of the motions the card makes me do. It's just opinion here.
EDIT: Yes yes yes I finally recaptured Devil's Recitation on Lunatic! And at 1 Power, surprisingly. To think I couldn't capture the card at any higher Power...

It lasts somewhat long, though, making it tedious if you don't throw a bomb at it.

No, I don't need a place to sleep for the night, Yukari.
Meanwhile, I've played the stage through so many times that my hands move on their own after getting the game over screen. Hence, I accidentally chose "no" when I was asked if I wanted to save my replay, since I had done that some 100 times in a row. My greatest accomplishment yet and I've no evidence to display it outside of this pic. :colonveeplusalpha: :colonveeplusalpha: :colonveeplusalpha: :colonveeplusalpha: :colonveeplusalpha:
Did get 4 of Yukari's spell cards, though. I still suck at Ran's second spell card, so I got 5 in total, which is still a bit better than one of my other Extra clears. All of this after I was so pissed with how I had been doing today.
-
I know I posted this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11063) in the rage thread already, but there's something else earlier in the Ran battle I'm proud of. Charming Siege attempted to bullshit me with really low walls not once, but twice. And I still captured the card.
Nothing Ran has can stop me now. I can smell the perfect run.
-
I think you meant to say 90.
I'm getting there :P. I actually tried 90 a bit today, and got a 5DNB run I'm quite happy about, mainly because I survived almost the entire last 60 seconds of the card!
-
What's wrong with her second? I can see some complaints about KKS but her second is pretty tame.
In fact, its the only interesting one.

I unlocked Yukari,sakuya, and remi in anothermode for phantasm romance... Unfortunately I got my ass kicked so hard I didn't even beat mima. I'll stick with the excuse that I let remi beat me up some cu I like her.

All this talk about IN Extra on the boards made me want to play it again.
Captured Hourai Doll for the first time in forever.

Now shut up everyone who always mocked me for not being able to do it.
I don't have a problem with people not wanting to even try because they are sane being able to do it. I just roll my eyes at people who are like "oh yeah pofv is the easiest toho ever, I 1cc'd it on my first try on lunatic using medicine/aya/whatever.. It's even worse than saying PCB is the easiest ever while using newbiemode sakuya only.
Anyway...
I'm willing to sign autographs for a day or so, maybe charge a small fee of your arm or leg to shake my hand. I 1cc'd Phantasm Romance on another mode including yukari, sakuya, Remilia, and Shinki.
Seriously though, 1ccing that game felt more epic than all but my very first normal mode 1cc. eeeek.
I hope the replay works, seems like every time I come up with a great replay lately it doesn't work.

-Scarlet Team 1cc on Normal. Ended with 0/0. My first proper 1cc ever.

UFO Extra Stage perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11091)
Holy crap holy crap holy crap yes! My first perfect Extra! Can't say I was expecting UFO to be the first though. It was just another normal run for me... until I captured Rainbow UFOs for the first time ever. Thank God I didn't derp anywhere past that.
-
Finished youtubeificating my previous Phantasm romance another mode run yay:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1hytBIwL-I
Also while playing around I did another successful another mode 1cc with all the extras. A betterish run too. I say betterish because I captured far more spellcards, and used far less bombs, but had more deaths (with like 5 bombs in stock and such) making my run's score worse overall (I don't know about the actual score, but rather lives left upon completion deal). I kinda wish I youtubed that instead. oh well.
-
Now shut up everyone who always mocked me for not being able to do it.
Yeah sure. Now i'll just have to start bullying you for submitting to peer pressure. :V
Pulled a perfect Aya out of nowhere.
PWG's difficulty is overrated. Congrats anyway though. :)
UFO Extra Stage perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11091)
Congrats with that. Perfecting extra stages is harder than perfecting Lunatic stages... (there is of course exceptions to that) mainly because you need to gather the motivation for it of course.
-
Randomly tried IN Extra No-Vert, made it up to Fujiyama Volcano before gaming over!
-
Brilliant Dragon Bullet (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11101) and Life Spring Infinity (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11102) timeouts. Each one took maybe 50 attempts.
Apparently I discovered a way to make LSI easy.

I just played SoEW lunatic for "research" purposes for my fanfic. Of course, once I finished confirming that yes it does rain in stage 2, I decided out of boredom to go and see if I could perfect the Magic Stones. I did. :o Another boss off the "almost perfect but not quite" group. I then somehow 1cc'd the entire game because the difficulty is pathetic now.
-
Checking the replay archive, first SA Extra clear was 12-27-2009
So I played the stage for the first time today since that clear.
Somehow I still clear it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11107)
Hearts were still as bad as they were before, so were Genetics and Philosophy. Did a little better on Subterranean Rose but still sucked a lot.

Figures I would get this immediately the next run.
Took three attempts. Caught the rings of death in every run.
Everything got trivialised once I figured out I could lead Mokou around to my bidding. Yes, even the rings of death I could say was almost trivialised. The nonspells are just over so fast this way.
It's nice to see how much you've improved at Touhou once you get back to it after a while. ;)
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11128)
Welp, with that I've perfected every extra stage in the Touhou series.
EDIT 2
SA perfect stage 4 lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11130)
Another one I hadn't gotten around to doing yet.
That makes SA completely perfected and that makes 4 games fully perfected so far. :D
-
acheivements fucking everywhere
Nice job!
1bil ufo where
-
Do tell. Asking nicely.
Check the replay.
Also, captured Genetics and Grudge Bow for the first time today.
-
About time I actually did something significant! What? Captured "Possessed by Phoenix", Mokou's EVIL 4-part survival timeout card, after 79 tries.
Will I ever be able to do that IN THE STAGE? I don't care! This is good enough for me as of now. For everything else, there's bombs and MasterCard.
-
Also, captured Genetics and Grudge Bow for the first time today.
Should I feel bad for having made my first Genetics capture with Suika? And Grudge Bow with ReimuB?
I swear, that Genetics capture took 72 seconds... :ohdear:
-
Yeah, I got them both with ReimuA. :v
-
Because anyone who isn't ReimuA or MariC is garbage lololololol.
Actually, I managed to clear Extra with ReimuC before Suika, Alice, and Patchouli solely because the bullet clearing doesn't entirely suck with her bomb.
-
I swear, that Genetics capture took 72 seconds... :ohdear:
I made a NDNB time out with Reimu A (!) before I made my first capture. Sad, isn't it?
-
Two perfect Extras in a row ? Can we has another Jaimers ?
Good job.
Nah. Just perfecting those two extra's is not Jaimers material. Perfecting UFO Stage 5 and 6 and SA Stage 5 is.
And for Jaimers:
You are now officially the next generation Kefit. (Still liked Kefit more though, nothing personal. ;))
Perfecting IN's Extra stage is something that i would want to do too because that Mokou's only hard attack in the Rings of Doom but i have never captured that attack so i don't want to actually capture it only to clip her final card. Congratulations.
-
(Still liked Kefit more though, nothing personal. ;))
It's because I like UFO, isn't it? :V
-
It's because I like UFO, isn't it? :V
Kefit hated the game and he was my inspiration when i didn't have any skill. But yeah, you seem to understand me well. :D
Oh and you have never made a video like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osf1fa4UhP4).

Sakuya Solo 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11147)
Excuse the really sloppy dodging, I was really tired and remembering things is a bitch.
This was literally my first IN run since God knows how long after all.
-
1cc Phantasm Romance on Normal Mode. Had a chance to enter Extra1 but declined because I suck horribly at three of the cards inside.
-
I, um.....beat Subterranean Animism on easy mode for the first time ever today. It's the first time I've managed to beat a non-fighting Touhou game. I used a goodly amount of continues though, so the ending was hastily scrawled on scrap paper, I didn't get a credits sequence, and the game promptly told me to man up and beat it without continues. :ohdear:

SA doesn't give credits with a continue? :/
Congrats though. The continue system in 10-12 is brutal so don't feel bad about about beating it with them, that's a feat when you're still learning.
-
I just 1cc'd Mountain of Faith on Normal with ReimuB! YES
My first ever 1cc of a Touhou game. :D
also SCREW AYA that will be all
-
Shadow Goo: Good job on the clear! The continue system for 10-12 (with the extend system in 11-12) means that a SA/UFO clear isn't too far from a 1cc. Just a bit more! :)
Megayanma: Congrats! ReimuB is the best. :D

Yaaaay thanks for the congratulations you guys
Honestly I think the most bizarre part is that up until a few days ago I seriously had not played SA for what feels like at least a year. Yet I somehow still managed to retain my skillz enough to rip and tear through the first four or five stages with relative ease. Not much, I know, but I remember it took me what felt like forever to get through stage five for the first time and was expecting it to be much more difficult to get through again.
-
YES YES YES OH GOD YES!!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11175
Finally! PCB Extra cleared with Marisa A after 267 total tries. I am disproportionately excited about this. More so than when I cleared IN's extra. I had many more promising runs that ended horribly, but I'll take this victory!

Still shaking at how a random run of IN extra before bed turned into the greatest Mokou fight I've ever had, capturing everything but Imperishable Shooting. If I only hadn't messed up the supergrazing that might have just been the 2 billion run I've dreamt of for so long.

Touhoumon Merry Elite Four Clear!

This is actually the first pok?mon game i've played (due to parents stopping me from playing pokemon when I was younger :V)
Its not lunatic mode, but i'm happy.
Now to upload that shitload of videos...
Also: this game is really bullshit sometimes. eg: ExSasha x Outrage = FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Since fanmade characters are not in the official version (and not on the wiki) I need to guess the types (god that took forever)
ExKanako + Iron Defence spam = SUPPA EFFECTIVE *1 damage*

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11186 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11186)
Yes yes, I know I used and abused of border breakage, but hey, last time it was SakuyaA with 1 bomb left, now it was ReimuB with 2 lives left :V
Also, the first two bombs are intentional, on chen's first card I can't keep up the damage due to ReimuB not being homing, and then I get murdered.
PS: This was my second try with ReimuB :V
-
I've now cleared PCB's extra 0/0 with Reimu B.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11187
I only made a handful of other attempts made with Sakuya A and B between this and my first clear with Marisa A. I had a FAR easier time doing this than my first clear due to Reimu's greater number of bombs and my increased confidence. Hopefully my next clear will be a lot less messy.
Oh, and I died to Ran's last nonspell. Shameful.

Did the last thing to do in phantasm romance. Another mode 1cc with Reimu's extra stage patch complete....Shinki's is much better.
The whole run made me angry. Even though I succeeded I feel pissed, not gonna do that again.
-
Here are some of mine:
Beat PCB with SakyuaA (though I can't do it again yet) on easy.
Beat IN with all teams (heaven't with the individuals yet) on easy.
Beat a few of Mokou's Spell Cards.
Beat PoFV on easy with a few characters (not sure which ones).
Beat MoF (although, it was with the Marisa glitch, so I don't think it counts) on easy mode.

MoF Easy Clear with Reimu B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11210)
574 Million Poinnnts~
Download it and facepalm at the TWO DEATHS
(and hundred million bombs)
Here is something that I do not get.
Why does a staggering difference in Faith points not produce a staggering difference with Score?
I remember my first Easy 1CC- I had like 70,000 in the end and finished with like almost 400m.
I got a peak of 717,000 FP when I died at Heaven's Stream. That made me mad. Like, really.
-
It just hit me. Today is the three year anniversary since I discovered Touhou. On November 30th, 2007, at 7:45 PM, I got into the best series of games I've ever played and got into the best online community I've ever met. I hope to see many more years basking in the warm glow of nuclear suns. :)
(also yay I'm a three year player people can finally stop feeling bad at my skills)
-
My 6-month "anniversary" was about a week ago
Wouldn't you say I've improved :]
(Actually, no. I'm still horrible at PCB Hard.)
Also, I've beaten the PCB Extra with someone other than ReimuB. Yaay.
-
I don't know what's the exact date I started playing Touhou, but my first achievement , clearing PCB Extra with SakuyaB (yeah, I did that before clearing the actual game on Normal with default lives), was apparently November 17th, 2009. I think that was like a week or two after I started playing the games. So yay for a belated anniversary!
Now I have cleared the first 3 of the 6 main Windows games on Lunatic and through Touhou, gotten introduced to the wonderful world of shooting games in general. A year ago I really couldn't have imagined I could actually play these games somewhat competently some day.
-
My first Touhou playing experience was with the UFO demo in January, although I didn't touch anything else until I messed around with EoSD for about 2 weeks in February. I didn't really start playing with any sort of regularity until I started playing PCB in late April, so I've been playing for about seven months now.
Now, to stay relevant:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11211
My first MoF 1cc! Lots of "cautious" playing here (I bomb a lot like a coward,) but I still found it somewhat challenging. Probably my easiest first time 1cc yet though.

UFO Extra 2DNB. Both was on Nightmare. Of course the first death was a terrible accident while the 2nd one was just the usual stuff that happens on the final three seconds, the only hard part of the attack. It messes with my eyes. The rest was perfect though. I can smell complete perfection soon enough. Grudge Bow is nothing to speak of and i've gotten better at Undefined Darkness so... its gonna be a matter of time.

HOORAH! Finally completed my easy mode 1CC of TH11!
I actually didn't suck on Orin for once and actually did quite well on Okuu. Captured "Hell and Heaven Meltdown" which was a big suprise and got to "Hell's Artificial Sun" with a nice surplus of lives.
My replay "http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11216" advice, as always, is welcome.
-
I can't remember exactly when I started playing, but it was a bit over a year ago I guess. (Well, that's when I started playing seriously I guess. When I first played, I don't think UFO was out yet.) I guess my first real accomplishment was an IN Extra clear on December 16, 2009, which is almost a year ago, and then IN Hard 1cc 11 days later. D:
I sure have improved a lot, although it feels like I've been slowing down lately. (I probably have, since I had way too much time to play over the summer, but not enough now that I have classes. :( )

I've been playing more no horizontal challenge in SA easy.
So far I've been able to capture...
Everything Yamame has!
Both of Parsee's non-spells in the boss fight.
Midboss Yuugi's lasers and card, aswell as her opener and laser non-spell, second card and final card.
Satori's wind god hidden in leaves (can be safespotted) and great hurricane or whatever her last card is named.
EDIT: practiced stage 5 and captured Cat Walk, Spleen Eater (easy with 2 or more power) and Needle Mountain + some non-spells. It might be possible to beat the game like this.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11225 <- Replay on stage 5
EDIT2: Did another run that ended just before the last 2 orb enemies before Okuu, many mistakes here, in practice I've been able to no-death the stage without cheesing Orin and also beat Artificial Sun with only 1 death.

Here's a normal mode PCB 1cc I did a week ago. It was actually my 7th 1cc, but I consider it an accomplishment because I finished with a decent amount of extra lives.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11223
I recommend at least watching stage 6 just for the final spell card. It's special. What an end to my best run yet...
-
Managed to beat UFO Normal... after 15 to 20 continues. It does however unlocks Stage 6 for practice for me. Now to master how to play Space Invader with ReimuB!
On more positive notes, on the same run(s, of stage 6) I managed to:
-Not derping solely because I got distracted by shiny UFOs for once
-Figure out how Kogasa's last card works
-Not dying at all on stage 4 for once
-Capturing most of shou's attacks. Spinning lasers, laser bullets - got them all. The ones I didn't are Nonspell #3 (I was so scared at how I managed to capture both curving lasers AND the first two cards that I panic bombed) and the spinning laser attack (of course).
-Captured Devil's Recital on every try except the very last one. Why wasn't that card that easy back when I just got the game and was trying out easy modo?
-
ND1B UFO Stage 2. I will be happy when I figure out the last card.

It's bullcrap. What difficulty?
For the Normal variant I camp out in the bottom 1/2 to 4/5 of the screen so that I only have to dodge the bullets from the downward trains and Kogasa's bullets.

Ha...ha...ha...
FINALLY. I finally got it all together and perfected Nue. That was a long journey, but was actually fun for once.
Take that Sapz. :dragonforce:
Congrats! Next up is EoSD Extra, right?
Speaking of anniversaries, I think I started Touhou (and STGs in general) about two years ago. Not that I've been playing much Touhou lately, but whatever. :getdown:

SA Stage 4 No Deaths during a failed 1cc run with ReimuA. Didn't save the replay though.
I basically screwed up Yamame's opener bombing it twice, then died to her second nonspell. Then died on Parsee's final nonspell. Then died to Yuugi twice. Then derped some on Stage 5 dying to Orin's second nonspell and third nonspell. Run game overed on Utsuho's third nonspell.
-
YES (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11234)
My first non-Imperishable Night 1cc. Of course, it's on easy (like that Imperishable Night one), but I can actually say I did this one with default lives :]
Did actually well on Shou, and derped surprisingly a lot on Byakuren's first spellcard, (I've captured it a few times before, not with SanaeB though, SanaeA and Marisa A), and almost captured Flying Fantastica, so yay. ON TO EXTRA! once homework is done... D:
-
Good job! I remember UFO being the hardest game on easy mode, if that means anything to you.
You need a Normal 1cc to unlock Extra though.

Thanks! I'm horrible at these games, so hearing that from someone who did a perfect extra makes me feel better :V
...
Dammit. Time to work on that PCB 1cc. I swear, Lunasa's way easier than Lyrica on easy.
-
Random lower lvl stuff done
Randomly tried to pacifist IN Normal for the first time. with Alice solo, got to Mystia last card. Stage 1 kinda took all my lives but I perfected Stage1 boss and Stage 2 all until that last card.
Also timed out Duplex Damaku Field in 3 attempts, mostly because I was bored and like that card though.
Unrelated note, I rather like Wriggles midboss noncards last phase, its a shame no one ever sees it.
-

Not true, I see it. :V
(Well, only the first second or so, just so that it spawns more bullets to be cancelled by the familiars for time items.)
-
My age with regards to Touhou playing is about 2 and a half year i think. I am one of these that develop skills really slow so i tend to loose interest before i get things down properly. Which kinda sucks... :(
Oh and did a Hard mode 1cc of GFW B-1. Finished with seven lives. My conclusion is that ZUN needs to die because he have made Star Sign "Shooting Sapphire" but i forgive him because of Light Sign "Bright Night". That was fun. B-2 go!
Also, the wiki totally needs more screenshots. Somebody go fix it.

Yay, my first 1cc of any Touhou game ever.

MoF ? You should be able to 1cc PCB and IN without trouble then.

I'm like 3 cards from capturing everything in IN.
Yeah, you can probably guess what 3 cards I have left.

Thank you i will. :D
Please tell me this was just a joke made in bad humour. You should know by now that laughing at people's accomplishments is in poor taste.

Well, the deaths were pretty stupid.
Especially the first one where I ran backwards into a fairy before midboss Nitori.
-
And I got run over by Sakuya in my first EoSD normal clear. Either way, there isn't any such thing as a pass when it comes to laughing at other people's accomplishments.
Or it was just a joke in poor taste. Either way.

You know, it's funny. I've 1DNB'd Yukari, but haven't done so with Ran. If I were to go after either of them though I'd probably prefer Ran, since BoLaD is :fail:
Still, I haven't changed my stance on commiting to a perfect, so don't hold your breath.

I though you had 1cc'ed MoF normal, which despite being obviously harder than MoF easy, doesn't have a REALLY FUCKING STUPID version of VoWG at the end
-
I agree...laughing at anyone's accomplishments is definitely in poor taste.
Mini accomplishment. I got all the way to Red Magic in TH6 Normal Mode! Usually I game over on Patchy, but I actually got to Remi. Even captured two of her cards, "Star of David" and "Curse of Vlad Tepes". ALMOST got "Scarlet Shoot", but derped right at the end.
-
I watched stage 6 to see just how horribly you failed kanako's last, but you captured it, I want my five minutes back
wait he captured Mountain of Faith Easy?
goddamn I still haven't done that with anyone weaker than ReimuB. Grats for a final card capture.
-
In the midst of the worst LLS run I've done in a long time, I captured the PC-98 rings of death for the first time, and on camera too. :o
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G4Ym3BYSMc

I did both :D
I counted about ten bombs to VoWG Easy and twoooo~ deaths?
-
Finally, an accomplishment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCpBBOXQzBU) worthy of youtube, concerning everyone's favorite timeout challenge! Too bad about the death, but this replay showcases some genuinely elegant dodging, and how VoWG is a lot more orderly, and can be approached in a much more orderly fashion, than you might believe.
-
If you all really want to see how spectacularly someone can derp up Kanako easy mode, go back and find my east mode 1cc XD
Very first time I ever fought her, so I had NO idea what I was doing. Went from almost max life stock to no lives, no bombs, inches from dying, but luckily she died first :D
-
That MoF easy 1cc was my 3rd time reaching Kanako on any difficulty.
And the second time I faced VoWG Easy.

PCB Stage 4 Lunatic 2DNB1BB. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11260)
Had no idea what broke my border on Lily. First death (second to last attack in stage portion) was kind of expected since I suck at streaming that part. Second death was extremely derpy - I really need to learn how to stream Lyrica's second nonspell better. Otherwise I'm actually proud of this run, since the Prismriver Sisters normally trip me up.
Also, I finally think I'm getting better at Stage 5 Youmu's first two nonspells. About time I learned them, really.
Not if people asks to get laughed at right? ;)

IN Extra 2D2B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11263)
Both bombs were deathbombs though, so 4 bombs used if you want to get technical. What's great about this replay is that I captured both Tsuki no Iwakasa's Curse and Imperishable Shooting for the first time in forever. Predictably, I died on Mokou's last nonspell, but I did survive longer than usual.

Hahaha~ I realize this. I fudged up pretty bad on BoHaY, Dreams and Reality, Ran's cards, the stage itself...
It was probably the best stage run I ever could have hoped for.
It was also probably the worst start to the Yukari fight in Touhou history.

PCB Stage 4 Lunatic perfect stage portion! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11287)
Yatta! I finally pulled it off! I didn't cheese any part by not firing (namely the post-Lily section), though from the looks of things I "timed out" the death-fairy (the bullets disappeared on their own, but I still killed the fairy before it went off-screen).
Died twice on the Prismrivers, of course. For the longest time I wondered what Lyrica's opener at max rank was like. Turns out it's simply the purple arrows switched around. Survived one iteration, died on the second (just before the attack would have ended too, agh). I think I know how to approach it next time, but perfecting the ending parts of the stage again might be tricky.
-
max rank
What
-
Managed to capture Fujiyama Volcano, Possessed by Phoenix, and Hourai Doll in a single run.
Elsewhere was bad though - failed Returning Bridge Ichijo, and more unforgivably Mokou's first nonspell because the smoke detector decided to go off and scared the crap out of me. And of course my freakish capture of her last non-spell isn't going to twopeat itself.

Wasn't the rank system removed in PCB ?
-
Removed with IN.
Rank in PCB doesn't affect much though.
-
What's this "rank" you speak of? :ohdear:
-
Supposedly, PCB has a rank system, but any changes in difficulty are so minuscule as to be considered completely negligible, with one exception: Lyrica's opener (don't know if the other Sister's openers are affected too, since I never play anyone but MarisaA). As I mentioned, the only difference seems to be the purple arrows getting mirrored. It does change the way you need to approach the attack, but I think all you need to do is make sure you slip through the purple arrows before you do the same with the red/brown ones - essentially, don't try to dodge both waves at the same time. Needs testing, of course, but that's my take on it.
-
What's this "rank" you speak of? :ohdear:
It's pretty much the coolest thing ever. :V
From shmups forum's glossary (http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=155124#p155124): Rank: Underlying gameplay system found in many shmups which will automatically adjust the game’s difficulty in accordance with the player’s performance: for example, in many cases more enemies will appear (and/or existing enemies will attack more aggressively, among other things) when the player is fully powered up. Some more “extreme” rank systems require that the player purposely avoids powering up, shooting down enemies, etc. in order to effectively increase his chances of survival, although often at the cost of higher scoring opportunities.
Some rank systems are controlled directly by the player’s status (such as survival time) and can change relatively quickly, while others will continually increase depending on the player’s actions until they “max out,” and efforts to control them can only slow down how fast they increase. There is almost always no onscreen display showing exactly how the rank is progressing, and the player must generally rely on experience and observation to roughly determine it.
To my knowledge, rank in the Touhou games that have it is solely based on survival; surviving increases it, dying (and deathbombing, in some cases?) lowers it. IIRC, the rank also resets after each stage; it'll only really make a difference during boss fights. It's pretty noticable in EoSD with bosses like Patchouli and Sakuya - cards like Emerald Megalith or Killing Doll are far, far more vicious if you've one-lifed up to that point in the stage.
-
PCB Extra Stage perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11295)
Take a deep breath, Funen1. You finally got it.
I think the only Extra stage left that I'm realistically close to perfecting is Phantasm, though I'll need more time to practice stuff. I would count MoF Extra as close, if Suwa War wasn't so fucking impossible (I'm convinced the perfect run will just "happen" someday).
-
(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt263/BaitySM/Image%20Response/konngaratulation.jpg)
Very cool to have perfected Ran, it's a real endurance test. If you can manage that, I'm confident you can get Yukari too, so go for it - it's not really much harder than Ran, and the extra card is pretty simple after you memorize it. Go go go! :]
-
Froggy Braves the Elements Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGidKTKDAU)
It was apparently a pretty long lasting spellcard. It kills me from time to time so i think this is pretty good even if it did only take two tries.
-
Just 1CC'd UFO on easy for the first time today, with a lot of lives remaining. I remember it being much harder...
Now I just need to do the same with SA and I'm done with EZMODO survival runs.
-
1cc'd MarisaA in SA. I've always found SA to be particularly tough and draining, so despite bomb-spamming on Utsuho's last card, I'm happy with how I did, even if I'm too lazy to post anything about the actual result.
Eggs + Hot springs = Unyuuuu~!
-
Finally captured Reimu's Seventy-Two Spirit Signs Formation in Phantasm Romance. Wee~
Also, unrelated to Touhou but I want to brag somewhere: Managed to get my second yakuman ever in Touhou Unreal Mahjong. Wee~

/me Godzilla roars
Hour and a half...an hour and a half of listening to Love-Colored Magic. I think I've gone crazy. But I did it. I perfected SoEW Marisa. Anyone want tips on her I'VE GOT THEM. Here's one on the house: She's random. Absolutely fucking random. What she uses, when she uses it, what she actually fires, it's all random. It's amazing there's any way to manipulate her at all, but it's there. IT'S THERE. And it still requires you to pray she doesn't shotgun you in the face with danmaku undodgable at that range and with controls that awful or do an on-side kick during the star play, which is 80% guaranteed to touchdown.
...
I think I'm gonna lie down now.
Sata Andagi~
-
Yeaaaaah Marisa is pretty much the make- or- break factor in a no bombs 1cc. Now you kind of now what I went through. :V
The most important thing to remember is WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT kill the orbs when she's in the middle of doing an attack as she will IMMEDIATELY fire a new wave and they will overlap to form a wave of death.
...ah memories.
Gonna try that Next thing you mentioned sometime later. If only for a short time of feeling hope. :qq:
-
I perfected SoEW Marisa.
*spittake*
I am experiencing a feeling somewhere between admiration and pity... :o

This rarely happened, but yeah. Once I did it and she used an attack where she flooded the screen with star bullets I had never seen to date. The real turning point though was when I discovered that which direction she swoops down is dependent on which side of her you're on. If you know that, you can start glitching up the fight and having her move entirely off-screen. :V
Also, that Next thing I tried ended up just being a coincidence. :derp: You're free to try it, but don't expect anything.
*spittake*
I am experiencing a feeling somewhere between admiration and pity... :o
Don't cry for me. I'm already dead. :colonveeplusalpha:
EDIT: Speaking of SoEW Marisa, I noticed during the long painful time last night that Marisa's Orreries Suns are decorated with various religious symbols. One has the cross, one the star of David, one the oil lamp, and one the mighty cigarrete puff. What was up with ZUN and random religious symbolism back then?
-
While I was away, FW Extra clear. Also I have all the spells golded on Moedan. All of them.
-
All of them.
Is that impressive? I never played it. I tried to buy it but i picked up something else by mistake. A hentai dvd in fact. True story. Their covers were very similar.
-
This feels like an accomplishment, anyway. Playing GFW Extra, something I've only done on occasion since first clearing it last August. Decided to hell with the few deaths during the stage portion, I'll fight Marisa anyway. And I made it all the way to her survival. Aside from those extra deaths keeping me on edge, I've lost my "ability" to bomb in this game (different controls require different fingers for it), and I'm fresh off pulling an all-nighter. Getting to her survival is pretty good considering my current status.
-
Well, I dunno.. You'd be surprised how well you'd play under certain conditions...
I remember trying to play 12 at like 3:00 AM and I got farther than ever before...
-
Yeah I remember getting a perfect EoSD stage 5 and a perfect UFO stage 5 and 6 almost right after each other at 3:00 AM.
I still don't know how that happened.

This reaction reminds me of me.
...Aww. Just how special is clearing Phantasm Stage?
After I cleared it myself I felt on top of the world. Actually, I was convulsing in maniacal laughter in the corner of the room in the fetal position, but whatev.
Which begs the question of, on a scale of 1 to "Clearing GFW Extra Blindfolded" how high does clearing PH ring?
-
If my experience was like everyone else's, clearing phantasm is the crowning achievement of a novice player, shortly followed by the realization that they are now an intermediate player and have a whole lot more difficult things ahead of them that make phantasm look easy. Still, the first time you pull it off it's a wonderful achievement.
-
Oh wow, the last iteration of this was 1/4 of the way through Accomplishments VIII. I guess that'll happen when I haven't played Touhou since April. I blame Donut for having made me play UFO a few days ago FOR SCIENCE! and making me jump back into this. (Good thing I've somehow become a Nitori fan for no particular reason, so I have no problems doing things FOR SCIENCE!)

PoDD Normal 1cc (http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/6884/101211011731.png) \o/
I really wanted to screenshot Yumemi exploding instead but that victory was so unexpected I just threw my hands in the air.
2 deaths on Chiyuri. 1 death on loldodgehax Yumemi. Stupid dodge into another stupid dodge put the game at 3::5 early. Somehow got it to 1/2::1/2 with no bombs and low guage. She launches a boss, I start dodging when the screen shakes. I stare dumbfounded and then you know the rest.
That brings my Normal count to 4!
-
Captured Radiant Treasure Gun. o/
-
Captured Okuu's first card on normal. Also managed a run in stage 5 normal where I captured all spell cards (not all noncards though)
-
I feel so much better today. I went through UFO Stage 6 Lunatic ND2B up until Byakuren's final, where of course I died several times. This wasn't the first time I did this, but I was so much more in the zone this time than I normally am. I credit this to having one of the most refreshing nights of sleep I've had in a long time.
EDIT: PCB Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11367)
Yeah baby! And with MarisaA too, which makes this even better. For some reason I had a real good feeling about this one once I reached Alice, and I just took it from there.
-
Got to boss Youmu without using continues on PCB hard. I don't see it as an achievement though...
Rather, I'm seeing it as a sign of progress.
Hopefully I'll be able to 1cc something on lunatic before TH13 comes out.
-
UFO Normal 1cc complete. SanaeB. 175m (very crappy score)
Had some stupid deaths, mostly to Murasa and stage 5. Luckily I stopped playing dangerously (so much) by the time I reached Shou and actually started bombing. Lotsa practice with stage 5 and 6 (with ReimuB on 6) gave me good ideas on which attacks I suck on. Still died twice with bombs on Byakuren on Devil's Recital and St Nick's Air Scroll (or St. something. I don't remember the name) because I thought I could capture them. Luckily Flying Fantastica was so much easier for a straight forward shot type than it is for ReimuB.
I want my Konngara thumbs up now.
-
Good job!

Figured out how to run SA at 75 fps (set input latency to fast and use the vpatch option as usual) and got captures of all SA lunatic cards on stages 1-5, counting stage 4 with ReimuA. Utsuho is kind of beyond my skill at the moment though; I will never understand people who find Orin a harder boss than her.
-
Added on Marisa and Sakuya Lunatic 1ccs to the PoFV list. It was a miracle that I was able to pull it off with Sakuya, since I somehow pulled off a first round clear against Medicine which gave me the lives I needed (death on Stage 6 and 8, three deaths on Shiki for the zero-stock clear). I found her to be the worst character I've used so far. Her focus field has an obscene range which means you'll be triggering spirits all over the place, and combined with her "ability" that triggered spirits stay in place, I found it happening far too often that I'd trigger a spirit as it's about to leave the bottom of the field, unable to kill it, and it then shoots at me from below or the side, which is not helpful with all the chaos that's constantly going on in PoFV. I also found my scoring with her to be terrible for reasons I don't understand, though I still managed the 50m extend and never expect the 70m extend, so that wasn't as big of a deal.
Utsuho is kind of beyond my skill at the moment though; I will never understand people who find Orin a harder boss than her.
I think it's less that Orin is honestly harder and more that Orin's difficulty comes from the kind of tricky stuff that makes Extra bosses hard. She's really confusing to the first-time player, leaving that first impression that she's the hardest boss ever, and still being confusing afterwards if you don't know enough about the mechanics to figure out the tricks. First time you run into Possessed Fairy, you don't know about selectively firing to avoid getting pellet spammed, or the proper way to herd the fairies around to best avoid them. Noncard 2, you don't learn, probably until you watch a replay of someone else doing it, that it's infinitely easier to shotgun it rather than to hug the bottom like a newb. Noncard 3 just looks ridiculous. Ghost Wheels has said ghost wheels coming out of nowhere and owning you until you understand the aiming pattern (or at least understand to keep an eye out and read for it). Demon's Revival is "what is circling?" to the newb who hugs the bottom. Contrast Utsuho whose repertoire mostly consists of "dodge this", and the two trick attacks are far easier to explain and understand than Orin's attacks ("hug the bottom like a newb" for Noncard 3, and "sit on this line and move left and right" for Ten Evil Stars).
-
Managed to make a four-stage-long survival-based UFO chain in UFO Hard. Think I might go all the way and make a replay with a six-stage chain...might have to do that in Normal, though, still can't quite reach Byakuren on Hard.
-
Gave PCB lunatic a go. Captured all Prismriver sisters team spellcards, but bombed the opener and did a deliberate border break on Merlin's card. Game over on Yuyuko's third non-spell.
I've never been able to properly read these lunatic patterns before. Practicing SA on easy must have boosted my skills.
-
My second PCB Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11375)
Been almost nine months since I gave this a try, and it was still much better than my first 1cc. I was hovering somewhere around max lives from Alice all the way to Yuyuko, where a few stupid deaths brought me back down. Finished with 4 extra lives.
-
I found (Sakuya) to be the worst character I've used so far.
spam lvl1s all the time, that's all there is to it. triggering spirits everywhere is a good thing, her scope lets you "sweep" most of the screen with a quick spin and clear bullets in all directions with a well-placed lvl1 - good for getting rid of stuff at the top of the screen and for creating safe paths to the sides. and you can trap the AI with her lvl2, it's not a guaranteed hit but it does work rather often if you can use it at the right moment. probably my favourite PoFV character these days, not as good as reimu or shiki which verge on broken but a lot more interesting to play with.

Don't forget that she also has a ZA WARUDO interval to escape bullets when she does her lvl2s and lvl3s.

PoDD lunatic no bombs 1cc..... video coming soon.
edit, SO MANY VIDEO GLITCHES, it's perfectly watchable but goddamnit :qq:
edit again, it's unsalvageable, it crashes virtualdub when I try to do anything, I'll have to pull it off again :colonveeplusalpha:
it's going to work mostly alright, it'll just take FOREVER (and some parts will still look hilariously glitched)

PoDD lunatic no bombs 1cc
Nice. :D
May I ask what character?
Also, decided to upload my EoSD no bombs lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJXUt9H9OZM) to test out the new Youtube time limit.
-
Knocked out the last five 1ccs for PoFV Lunatic (Youmu/Reisen/Lyrica/Mystia/Komachi). Youmu's a beast (I already knew this from knowing who the pros choose, but I'd never bothered experiencing for myself). I don't know what happened with the Lyrica run but I only died once before Shiki (death on Stage 6 against Youmu... actually, I think Stage 6 is the only stage other than Stage 9 I haven't no-deathed for some reason), and I was pulling some lulzy dodging during Shiki as well (somehow managed to panicbomb and survive until my meter had charged back to L2, though I still died in that round and went on to clear in the next round). Reisen and Komachi both took about five tries each in the last two days, though I can't think of why I had so much trouble with them. The last two Reisen attempts had more focus on score, which makes the game a lot more fun than I expected just because of the sheer chaos that occurs when both players are capping out on spell points.
ebarrett's making me wonder if I should give PoDD another shot, but for some reason I've never liked PoDD, and the last time I tried PC98 it was arguing with my gamepad so maybe not.
I should probably go to sleep now, or at least go back to staring at my physics textbook.
-
Nice. :D
May I ask what character?
Yumemi, obviously, no other char allows me to consistently win any round that goes my way in less than three minutes. :V

IN Lunatic 2cc with Youmu (gameovered on Earth in a Pot).
(http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/25/inlunaticayoumu2cc.jpg)
For some reason I felt like trying this out (because Youmu is :*). Can't aim Myon worth shit yet, and I'm not sure how much further I might take this. Still, this run wasn't totally bad for one of my first serious attempts.

Beat IN Hard with Scarlet Team for the first time. Got over 2 billion too.

Yes! I got my 2nd Normal 1cc on EoSD with MarisaA replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11419)
Although I started with 5 lives just to make sure I 1cced it I ended with over the default. :(

Looking at this. I have no idea how anyone plays this game. Graphics hurt my eyes, and the game moves too fast for me to be able to deal with it, plus no focus speed. It's more on the manic fast bullets reflex dodging side of the shmup spectrum where I prefer the slower pattern reading stuff. Of course, you can choose to interpret "it's not my style" as an alternate way of saying "baaaaaaaaw I suck at this game", I dont really care.
That said, me not liking PoDD only makes me appreciate your accomplishment more. Well done.

GFW Route A-2 Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11418)
I finally feel like getting back into this game. Obviously I'm starting each route on lower difficulties to acquaint myself with stuff. I'm still learning how to do a few parts on A-2, but I have ideas on how to do them.
EDIT: First GFW Route A-2 Lunatic attempt ever (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11421), got to the final bosses' third Spellcard before gameovering.
I still can't understand how the first final boss card works. Gotta be specific misdirection of some kind. And I'm honestly surprised that my slowdown rate was only 0.7% - the amount of lag I got on Lily Black's third and Sunny Milk's fourth attacks was astounding.
I'll be busy tomorrow, but I'll give the 1cc attempt another shot soon.

That spellcard is horrendous. I gave up trying to figure out a way to capture it after a while and just run in circles around them and bomb whenever there's no more room. It's easier to just get there with two or three bombs in stock and bomb the shit out of the fairies.
And I'm honestly surprised that my slowdown rate was only 0.7% - the amount of lag I got on Lily Black's third and Sunny Milk's fourth attacks was astounding.
A-2 Lily Black on Lunatic is the best thing in Fairy Wars, seriously, that's the only reason A-2 was the first one I 1cc'd BV

GFW Route A-2 Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11429)
Yay, finally. Still quite ugly, especially during the final boss, but at least I now have the confidence to continue with all this. :V
I'll probably skip B-1 for now, as I hear "leader" Luna is tough as all hell. Then again, I might not. Depends on how I feel tomorrow.
-

According to my B-1 Replay... Luna's first card is like GRT. Except bombable and freezable and shit.
The second card is just shit, but that's my opinion.
Third card is an easy one, on Normal at least.
Fairy Overdrive is meh, they track your angle instead of going in a fixed pattern apparently.
Three Fairies would be awful normally on B-1, since all the bullets that hit the wall curve downward. But if you cheese it out above Luna's head, you almost never have to deal with fireballs from the side. Or so it seems.
-
After getting sick of dying far too many times on stage 4 of MoF Normal, I randomly started a UFO easy run.
And I somehow 1cc'd it, despite the fact that this was only my second try at UFO.
Yay, a second 1cc.

I need to make my own congratulations picture. But I suck at drawing, so I'll say Congrats and leave it at that.

Another GFW Route A-2 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11433), this time finishing with many more lives.
The worst part was, I lost like three or four lives very stupidly near the end of the final boss, so the score can be even higher. BUUUT, I finally figured out "leader" Star's first card on my own! I knew it was streaming of come kind, but as I was playing it this time it just clicked. Not only am I getting more motivation to clear the other routes, I might look into scorerunning.

GFW Route B-2 Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11437)
Well, that was easier than I thought. I actually like how "leader" Star's Spellcards still varied between routes, so it wasn't like I was in the clear when I reached the final boss.
-
Random IN lunatic practice runs yielded a "capture" on Reisen's 2nd non-spell (which I haven't even captured on Hard before), and Buddahist Diamond in one try somehow. (my luck was astronomical for Buddhist Diamond though, so it probably doesn't really count)

FIRST IN EXTRA 1CC! My brother got in today from Japan, and mentioned his friend beating IN Extra 1cc recently, so I ended up trying for it again. 2nd attempt tonight, not counting the first 2 that I restarted after a stupid death in the first few waves. First run had my first capture of Hollow Giant Woo. Failed Possessed by Phoenix badly but finished the run.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11441
Video coming up soon, I hope.

Ran next?
When I beat 90FPS Ran, I died in the usual spot that I would die in the stage.
Midboss Chen's opener.
I would die there even at 60FPS
-
Well, I made it to Shou (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11444). Pretty sure I can 1cc this tomorrow.
Can I stop dying with bombs in stock now, please? :(
-
Not much of one, but an achievement for me. I got all the way to PCB Stage 5 midboss on Lunatic mode! Took every continue I had but I made it. Farthest I have ever actually gotten in Lunatic mode and I even captured a couple spellcards :D. God though, some of those parts just seem bloody impossible, walls upon walls of bullets and I could not see a single way though a good majority of them. I think I'm just going to stick to easy mode for now...I still can't even consistently 1CC easy mode.

I only lost ONE life! *shot*
I'm slowly managing to clear all the routes on easy mode. Now I just need to get good enough to 1cc something, anything.

GFW Route C-2 Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11448)
One more to go, but I'm not looking forward to it. Stage 1 for the C routes is fucking terrible to play. It's actually the first time I've wished for more bullets in a danmaku game. Then there's the fact that C-1 has Luna Child as leader...
EDIT: GFW Route C-1 Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11454)
Holy crap, that was absolutely the closest 1cc I could ever get. As is typical for me, lost most of my lives on Luna's fourth nonspell and Fairy Overdrive, so I'm short-changed for the final card. Got a critical extend literally 1 second before dying again, and my "deathwave" finished the attack.
That makes all GFW routes 1cc'd on Lunatic. Some of them I don't even want to play again, but at least there are some I do.
Ahhh... I hate using continues on Lunatic because it doesn't save the score you accrue from the first two stages...
You know why you should use continues? So you can unlock the later stages for practice. Playing the later stages in Practice Mode is the quickest way to secure a 1cc in the Windows games. Don't be so concerned about saving scores yet - you'll have plenty of time to scorerun the games after you 1cc them.

I've started scorerunning GFW Route A-2 Lunatic, and I'm really enjoying it. My latest attempt didn't end that well because I lost a bunch of lives on the final boss, but most of them were stupid mistakes that I know can be corrected. I got my "Shot Power" gauge almost to Max by the end of Stage 2, and finished with almost 6000%, so that's not a bad start.
EDIT: My latest GFW Extra run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11470)
This was mainly to see how many lives I could accumulate. Maintained a high count up until the final card, where I lost a few, but I'm still happy with this run.

UFO Lunatic run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11478), game over on "Devil's Recitation".
Stupidly died twice on "Magic Milky Way", which ruined any real chance of a 1cc. Still, this is my best run yet. I'm looking forward to the day I no longer have to play this game's Story Mode.

Fifth UFO lunatic 1cc, this time without constant screwing up everywhere. I cleared 5/2 (best I've managed before is 3/0), but that's not the real accomplishment. The real achievement is...a perfect of Shou. That happened in a full run. This may explain why I ended so well. :o

If you're going to be clearing the game with so many spare lives, how about replacing some of those red ufos with blues? :3

Score in PCB is not something one should worry about when just playing to 1cc (survival).
Congratulations; I know how that good that first Normal feels.

UFO Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11484)
*pant* Never... again... *pant pant* I still hate this game's Story Mode and everything in it. Except Kogasa. And the music of course.
If there's one part of this I am proud of, it's capturing "Legendary Flying Saucer" (I had no bombs at the time). Totally unexpected.

This. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGdWedFEiA0)
It's a cap of Earth Light Ray. The accomplishment is that I went through a few walls unfocused and survived, and I was certainly not expecting to do that.
Also, I've heard this spell is harder on normal than on lunatic. Can I assume this is true?
-
Also, I've heard this spell is harder on normal than on lunatic. Can I assume this is true?
Yes. Lunatic and Hard just involve starting at one side and tapping every wave, while tapping a bit further if there's a laser in the way. Normal is just whaaaaaaaa?
-
I still hate this game's Story Mode and everything in it.
THEN WHY DID YOU 1CC? Incomprehensible.
How many attempts did it take?
-
After much grinding and rage, I have finally defeated my first Ex boss: Koishi! :D Funny thing is, the stage used to be so difficult for me, I'd be down to no lives and no power by the time she'd show up. I nearly wrote her off as "one of the harder ones I'll get back to later", but things significantly improved once I managed to get through Sanae with full power.
Philosophy of the Hated Person can kiss my ass, though.
-
Good job. Koishi was the last one for me. :) (Except Nue but she wasn't out then)

You beat Koishi as your FIRST Extra Boss? :o Impressive! I consider her one of the toughest Extra bosses! Now the rest of them will seem easy to you. ;)
Anyway, I managed to capture Yukari's last three spells in PCB. :V (The 3rd-to-last and last were captured in the same run. The 2nd-to-last was captured in a separate run, without the safespot :D)
-
Koishi was the only one that I dedicated myself to. Like I said, getting full power before Sanae really made the difference. (as well as learning Ancestors...)
-
Yes. Lunatic and Hard just involve starting at one side and tapping every wave, while tapping a bit further if there's a laser in the way. Normal is just whaaaaaaaa?
I've captured the normal one by micro-tapping before. You make a tiny tap left or right after each wave (it doesn't matter which direction you tap, so long as you tap when there is no firing sound). Then, you hope you don't land in the wrong pixel where the laser shoots you (you can move out of the way 30% of the time when you happen to land on one).
You can balance the left and right taps so that you stay under Marisa most of the time.
I don't recommend this method - it's purely luck based.
-
How about just moving higher up the screen?
EDIT: /note, Naut's already said the required congrats, so.
-
THEN WHY DID YOU 1CC? Incomprehensible.
How many attempts did it take?
Because it exists. That's the only reason I give this game any attention. And there's Kogasa, of course. :V
And it took plenty of tries (I don't have any numbers). I've been attempting this on and off for quite a while, but after getting as far as "Devil's Recitation" I decided to just keep trying until I got it.
EDIT: PCB Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11490)
All right. I knew it would be a matter of time before I got this. All I needed was for Hell God Sword to be at least somewhat nice, and to not derp myself on "Components of Konpaku".
-

I've only made it to Shou's third non-spell. Attempts? Dunno, two or three i guess. Well i need to stop being a douchebag and congratulate on finally getting that thing out of the way so you can concentrate on more important stuff like everything else. :D
Btw. what is it about Kogasa? Is it her boss battle or is it... you know...?
-
Random Phantasm attempt, had a perfect run all the way to the end of BoLaD. And I do mean the end of it. I don't have a replay because 1) my replay list was full, and 2) I somehow messed up "Danmaku Bounded Field" as well. But damn, I had no idea I could get that close.

IN Extra no-deaths run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11492)
This includes "Imperishable Shooting". I deathbombed in the three places I expected: Mokou's eighth nonspell, "Fujiyama Volcano", and "Hourai Doll".
-
Now go for perfect! I'm sure someone with your skill could do it. :V (And at least collect the point items as >80% human, since their value doubles.)
At least practice Fujiyama Volcano and Hourai Doll though; they're not that bad. You wouldn't have had to fail Fujiyama Volcano if you moved left more slowly on the second wave.

My first SA Lunatic 1cc that vaguely resembles a scorerun. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11496) Final score: 2,407,942,880.
I chose to supergraze only a handful of things, but that still got me to over 50k graze. Also lost several lives stupidly, and ended with 1 extra life. Still, considering this is my first completed attempt, I'm otherwise happy with it.

Oddly enough, I think Phantasm is the easiest extra stage of all time. (Ran's extra is harder) I've also had a near perfect pretty far into the stage. I reached all the way to the spell Ran Yakumo without using bombs and without dying, but some borders were abused, especially on Double Death Butterfly (which I believe is her hardest spell, since I have yet to cap it)
The reason I died on Ran Yakumo? Because of: 1. rank, and 2. because I didn't pay attention to every single bullet because they were moving faster than I anticipated.
On a side note, I've reached DBF without deaths but had no bombs left, so it was a one death run. Still trying for no deaths, but Ran's opener keeps stopping me.

Managed to defeat Koishi a second time. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11502) Everything began to unravel at Genetics, though.. I'm afraid the Yukari Shot spoiled me on this stage
I guess I'll grind on Nue next.

Though, pardoning the shitty framerate I had recording back then, if you're using ReimuB you could probably get in some massive shotgun damage by the time you have to retreat.
not that this is always gonna work, it just lets you essentially skip the first wave, shotgun, and potentially capture at the same time.Managed to defeat Koishi a second time.

That's almost exactly what I do, but instead of using the invincibility at the end of a border, I cancel it just before she spits the second wave, which magically gets canceled anyway, even though the border has finished. This is why I haven't capped it. So I'll try your method and see how long it will take me. Thanks!

My fail scorerun attempt got my a lousy 1.3 billion so unless you are going for WR you are doing quite well already.
Oh and with a score like that you are not allowed to bomb anything in IN Extra. Except that attack. Go grind those spells. They are easy when you know the pattern of them.

2D1B Koishi (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11504). bleah

*Scratches Nue off his hit list* (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11505) Maybe you guys were right...
First ever captures of Red UFO and Undefined Darkness.
NEAR capture on Frogger Nightmare on Heiankyou. (watch for last second derp)
Total derp on Blue UFO and Chimera. Very disappointing..
Guess I'll take on Mokou next.

I like how I'm able to semi-consistently perfect PCB Stage 4 Lunatic's stage portion. I've also captured max rank Lyrica's opener a few times, so once I finally get around to memorizing her second nonspell I might have a chance at the full stage.

There's rank in PCB? I thought it was dropped right after EoSD =O

Yes there is. It's pretty much negligible.
One of the only place where it actually mattered is Lyrica's opener, which goes from easy to difficult at max rank.

This makes Mokou, Suwako, and Flandre [at 90fps]. Ran next?
Imitation is one of the greatest forms of flattery, so consider me flattering you. :blush:
Mokou (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11513) and Suwako (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11514) 90fps. I don't have Flandre unlocked, so :V
Neither run is really worth watching... I did cap Suwa War [edit: whatever the hell her last is lol] at 90fps in the Suwacker run though, so I guess it's worth a peek if anybody is interested.
Tried Koishi a few times, apparently I'm not allowed to pass Sub Rose no matter how many lives I go into with, so I'll be stopping for tonight, heh.
-
A small accomplishment :3
Perfected stage 1 of TH11 Hard mode (no death, no bomb, all cards captured)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11524
I can not believe I survived that midboss card >_> that was a crazy one imo
-
Kisume's card is probably the hardest out of all stage 1 midboss cards in the windows games (well, it's the only one that gives any semblence of challenge on Hard, anyways...)
-
I haven't played Touhou in about a year...
I'm on vacations on my mother's house so I only have my notebook.. Decided to play it a bit =P
I got to Kanako on lunatic on my second try, first try ended in midboss Sanae because I did way too many wrong things.
I haven't 1cc'd any games on Lunatic yet =x
Kanako is so damn easy x_x

PCB Stage 4 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11527)
I've had so much progress in PCB lately, it's scaring me. I don't know if Lyrica's opener at max rank is supposed to be static, but even if it is I didn't need to memorize it, per se. The Prismriver's last card was more troublesome than that.
If you want to get technical, this isn't my first NDNBNBB run of the stage, but I hit one bullet during the "end of Border" invincibility period that time. To be on the safe side, I decided not to count it if I could redo the thing within a short span, and thankfully I did.
EDIT: Did... did I just capture the PCB Stage 6 spam for the first time? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11529) Yatta!
The run itself was perfect up until Yuyuko's fifth card, where I misjudged a tight dodge. And Resurrection Butterfly was terrible as usual. But finally surviving all of the stage spam is huge for me.
-
hahaha worst 90fps IN Extra clear ever (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11530)
"90fps. First try. Cleared 0/0. Hilariously, of Mokou's cards I only captured Flying Phoenix, Possessed by Phoenix, and Hourai Doll. :|"
-
Haha oh man this 90 fps thing is fun! :]
Did a Phantasm clear with this silliness. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11531)
I did not remember anything about the stage so I had to beat Yukari with minimum resources. :getdown:
Also deathbombed twice lol.
-
I...still am no closer to perfecting Eirin, and continue to have minimal hope as long as Apollo 13 is the PoS it is, but I think I've mastered Omoikane's Brain, as I can now capture it on a semi-consistent basis even when it throws me a bad wave. Still awful like the rest of the fight, but it's more doable.
But still, Apollo 13 is sooooo bad. Why is it so bad? Tell me why it is so bad.
EDIT: ...Pffffffft, I just stumbled upon a way to slightly increase my survival rate of Apollo 13. I'm not going to even say what it is it's that silly.
-
I'm really having my doubts that it's siller than peeking up the skirt of a woman who's hundreds of thosuands of years old.
-
Well, it's more feasible. Seriously, go to spell practice and try and do that "safespot" on lunatic. It's possible, sure, but it's nearly impossible.
Fine. The big secret art I've found is...leaning towards the screen. Sure it won't save me from a bad wave that walls you in all directions, but on waves that are survivable it helps to magnify the openings.

btw, noob question here, LOL.
How do you make Touhou go at 90fps? I really want to join this crazy shit :getdown:
-
Oh come on, Apollo 13 safespot is easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10630). :V
About the 90fps, go download the vsync patch (http://www.mediafire.com/?izzv1lmnamm), extract vpatch.exe, vpatch.ini and vpatch_th08.dll (or whatever is appropriate for your game. important: don't put any other dlls or it will break). Then set the GameFPS to whatever in vpatch.ini.

Mind explaining how you do it then? And doing it during practice mode means little, because you're already centered on Eirin, which is one of the hardest parts. Nothing you do will change it being a space just large enough for your hitbox though...
And I think my new technique is bad for my eyes. Or I've been playing too long. Either way, done for tonight. I'm confident I can do it. I just need to stop screwing up at the worst - AAAAAAAAAH ND1B BOMB ON A STUPID TWITCH MISTAKE ON THE FIRST SPELL CARD WHY?
-
Hm, captured Byakuren's second nonspell on Lunatic for the first time. I need to remember the speed I used to "stream" the lasers.
Also, survived the PCB Stage 6 spam several more times tonight. I now understand exactly what I need to do for MarisaA to have a chance, so the question is sticking to that strategy. And praying, of course.
-

Isn't centering on Eirin the easy part? You do have the enemy marker to guide you.
Anyway, I'm not sure why Apollo 13 is giving you such a headache. The pattern may be tricky, but it's also extremely slow, so you can stare down the card and do a thorough read before deciding what dodges you want to make. Maybe you could post a replay? Here's a demonstration (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11532) of mine.
-
Hmm... I do have to admit, playing at 90FPS is the best way to improve your skills in a stage ever.
After my Flandre 90FPS clear, I tried again normal speed, 2D1B. One on Starbow Break because I was too high and got hit from behind, another on QED and a bomb on QED.
Also, Naut, how do you not have Flandre unlocked...? you're too badass and awesome for it not to be.
-
Also, Naut, how do you not have Flandre unlocked...? you're too badass and awesome for it not to be.
I've unlocked Flandre and beaten her.... does... does that mean I'm better than Naut at something?
Probably the only thing, though..... and for now... :fail:
Right now my hands are shaking, my blood is pumping..... It's the first time I try playing any Touhou game in 90FPS. I tried fighting Mokou, and on my eighth try I got all the way~ to the last moments of Hourai Doll..... I'm still amazed at how...
HARDCORE
...90 FPS can be.....
*shivers* :ohdear:
-
It definitely gets you worked up even when you're trying something so easy like PCB or IN Extra.
It's like trying to make your first capture of VoWG, knowing fully well that you can do it... or something like that.
Have I started a trend...?
Also, I've been trying to record my MoF 90FPS extra run for ages but I can't record in fullscreen (don't have fraps). Moreover, the games don't want to actually play in 90FPS unless they're in fullscreen... What I've been doing for EoSD and IN is set the fastforward replays to 90FPS so I could record them in a windowed, but could I make a request for recording my MoF extra clear?
-
Randomly feel like posting this in here. Just tried EoSD lunatic again and capped Mercury Poison. Not sure if this counts as an amazing feat, though I see many many people that 1cc lunatic that can't cap this one.
I made it look easy too! :derp:

I might be able to do that. I'm gonna go try recording MoF with fraps right now and see how it holds up. (I'll try 90 fps too)
-
Regarding Apollo 13:
I look at the pattern on Eirin's clothes to judge where I need to go horizontally. And then you have plenty of time to adjust your vertical position.
edit: Apparently it's harder than I remembered it to be, so yeah, I recommend dodging it normally.
-
I might be able to do that. I'm gonna go try recording MoF with fraps right now and see how it holds up. (I'll try 90 fps too)
Yep. Just tried. Records beautifully at 90 fps (on extra). It actually seems that it records BETTER at 90 fps. I have no idea why. Though fraps does tend to be a bit stubborn at times. (this is why I re-record over and over until I get something awesome)
-
Oh, maybe I'm making myself unclear: I can capture Apollo 13 fine. I've done it nearly 30 times in spell practice. The problem comes from the lack of consistency. I have a 1/9 capture rate of the card, and it never goes my way in a real run, and never when I've perfected Eirin up until that point. That, along with how arbitrary and dumb the design is, is what makes me rage.
Well whatever, I'm done with this for now. I'm now going to play again until after Christmas, where I'll have two games much more fun than Eirin's fight to distract me.
Also, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kTBbTSjZpI) is now Eirin's fight theme as far as I'm concerned. This song somehow synchs with the fight and makes it much more enjoyable.
-
Apollo 13 timeout, using safespot (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11535). I do not recommend doing this as it took me too many attempts. :V
I used to use the safespot back when I was nub and couldn't read at all.
Doing it legitimately, I think it makes it a bit easier to start higher up when dodging a wave, so you have more time to react/wait for openings. (Remember it's static too, so maybe there's an easy way to dodge each wave.)
-
It's static, yes, but you do have to account for the random angles (tbh, at worst you might have like a 2 degree shift as worst) and Eirin's vertical movements.
I remember trying to find a static route to consistently capture Apollo 13 Lunatic...
I managed to get like a 1/3 ratio, but I can't remember it on the top of my head now.
-
Pfft, static? I can tell you it is NOT static, and I have known this long before I began on this horrible nightmare. If it was static then there would be no problem. :[
-
It'll be really fun when you DO capture it in a real run, only to be killed by Hourai Elixir. But it's not a death, technically. But still a failed card. (face-to-the-screen time!)
-
OK, captured it twice in two attempts without the safespot, keeping my above note in mind. Remember you only have to dodge two waves (with Yukari anyway).
It's not static? I did not know.
edit: Timeout without safespot (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11537). Still took a few attempts.
Also, regarding centring on Eirin for the safespot, using the enemy marker is probably not effective since you need to be within a pixel of the centre of the safespot.
-
I've unlocked Flandre and beaten her.... does... does that mean I'm better than Naut at something?
Probably the only thing, though..... and for now... :fail:
Sorry to ruin it all for you but Naut didn't 1cc stuff like IN, SA or MoF until just recently and he said something about not feeling like playing EoSD and PCB. He probably just never bothered to 1cc those games.
EDIT:
Also Donut. If you are gonna perfect run Eirin, don't do the safe spot. Its unreliable yes and it wouldn't look very impressive in the replay. Good luck with it. And here's hoping for you that you don't fail the final spell when you finally get the hard part of the fight right.
-
...
Nereid, thank you.
You just revealed to me my error. I misunderstood when it was said the pattern was static but the angle was random. I somehow thought it meant both the red and blue waves were randomized in angle, but only the starting angle is. This is...still not perfect, but this gives me something to work with to continue my spell card theory. I may be able to break this attack yet!
Oh, and I timed out Apollo 13 just to show I'm not that incompetent. Honestly it's not that much harder than capturing it, since the attack becomes much easier after the first wave.

Anyway, ND3B Byakuren (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11553). Captured Devil's Recitation this run, and her last card in a slightly earlier run.
Now there are 3 cards left that I still haven't captured with ReimuA: Kogasa's first card (done with SanaeB), Kogasa's last card, and Vajra. :V
Merry Christmas everyone! :3
-
How is the first wave any harder than the rest? D::
Apollo 13 is worse the closer you are to Eirin, since the density lets up with distance. Eirin tends to be closest for that first wave, as her random movement will usually have her backing up, giving you a bit more distance for the pattern to space itself out.
But yes, massive thumbs up to Donut. Eirin's beastly difficult.

I just went though a bit of spell practice and oddly enough i found the hardest one to be that Omoikane spell. Clippiest thing ever... Maybe i should let myself inspire by Donut and try for a perfect Eirin battle too. I can capture Apollo 13 pretty consistently.
Still, thumps up Donut. Its always impressive when people perfect bosses on Lunatic (not stage 1 bosses) and i know how nice it feels to finally achieve something like that. :)

UFO Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11559)
About time I got this. I knew this was it, once I went 6/2 into Shou. Cleared 0/1. Also, captured Vajra for the first time.

I've finally started winning some PoFV Hard Match games as Marisa/Yuka... I don't know if it's supposed to be that hard, but the AI still slaughters me a lot of the time. Other than that game where I beat Reisen in 3:30 without taking a single hit. :blush: I shudder at the thought of playing Match Mode on Lunatic, though!
Is there any good strategy to beat the AI besides "dodge more"? I end up relying on level 2 spellcards and getting the counter to 999,990 late in the fight, and then it becomes level 2 spam time (this gets pretty hilarious when fighting Reimu). Letting up the pressure on the AI doesn't seem to work at all, and I can't figure out what determines when the AI gets hit (other than "be Aya/Medicine").
-
Is there any good strategy to beat the AI besides "dodge more"?
As Yuka/Marisa, rack up the intensity and hope for EX spams which will eventually wall or trap the AI. Complete luckshit on lunatic; with Yuka you can dominate the center of the screen and reflect everything, but Marisa tends to get pushed to the bottom and die quickly since you can't clear horizontal paths. Yuka's spinning boss attack (the one from LLS, minus the cool LLS sprite animations) can also land a hit; spamming boss attacks is probably a good idea since you can clear the screen well enough without needing L2s or L3s.
Sakuya will eventually land free hits on the AI with the EX knives, but you're better off trying to trap it with L2s. Again, try to control the screen from the center; activate spirits everywhere and spam L1s.
The AI can't dodge Shikieiki's boss summon laser at all. Get enough boss summons, get lucky, win match. I'm inclined to call it broken, but it's arguable.
Reimu can reliably trap the AI with L2s and L3s. Using too many L2s at the wrong time will result in DEATH though since you'll get a ton of fast bullets reflected at you. Still the best "non-broken" AI buster. Actually kind of broken too, though.
Lunasa can also drown the AI in EX attacks, but you need obscene luck for that to work - their slow speed doesn't make it easier for the AI to avoid it, but it makes it more likely for the AI to have enough gauge to deathbomb when it gets hit. But her survivability is very good and will buy you time.
UFO Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11559)
Stop it all of you, how am I going to convince Baity that UFO is impossible if you keep doing that :derp:
-
Dammit, I need to try UFO Lunatic again. I ragequit the game in general after failing my last run at LFO.
-
It pleases me to see that UFO lunatic is no longer such an "impossible" achievement. :3c
Also ebarrett are you going to decry my PoFV lunatic 1cc again? ;-;
-
Also ebarrett are you going to decry my PoFV lunatic 1cc again? ;-;
Nah, it's just that if you spam enough matches in match mode you'll eventually win something with Shiki no matter what - the other day I won a round vs. Aya in one minute, I though the game had glitched :V
The chance for her "brokenness" to get you a story mode 1cc you wouldn't get otherwise is minimal.

Nah, I like UFO now. :)

UFO took 4 attempts to do. MoF, just one.
Stop it all of you, how am I going to convince Baity that UFO is impossible if you keep doing that :derp:
Just forget about convincing them that the game is impossible in BS which in itself is impossible. As long as you yourself understand that the game is bad, that's what counts.
-
Ah, MoF Extra. I still have never captured either of Suwako's survival cards, so maybe I should have another go at it.
Kanako's second card can be done no horizontal; like what you did, except you go between the groups of bullets.
Also, I will remember that tip for the end of Suwa War.
Also, post replays D:

I don't know, I just wanted to play UFO again. (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9281/th078.png)

Cleared EoSD Extra with Reimu-B this time. No QED hax capture, but I did capture everything else except Maze of Love and Philosopher's Stone (and it's my first time capturing And Then Will There Be None too). Ended with 2/3 with one bomb on philosopher's stone, one bomb on the books (I forgot how to do them and got caught surprised), 1B1D on Maze of Love, and 1 death with 3 bombs on QED.
Not bad, I'd say.

First UFO 1cc on Normal, with SanaeB. Oh my frickin' crap. I did stage 6 almost completely blind, but I'd seen a couple of replays, so it wasn't too bad. Also, please, please excuse my performance on LFS. That was just terrible.

Also, post replays D:
Why would you want me to post replays? Isn't the video more convinient?

Not a 1cc, but not bad either. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11567)
Considering I've played Touhou very little in the past year, reaching Orin on Hard is VERY good. And a no death Satori battle is REALLY FREAKING NICE.
-
As long as you yourself understand that the game is bad, that's what counts.
In all honesty UFO is probably the best Touhou game for Windows, as evidenced by how well it separates good players who put time into it from everyone else. I only bitch about UFO because it slaps me around really, really badly, to the point where I don't even understand what I'm doing wrong.

I feel your pain. MoF, SA, and UFO are the games I'm worst at (for the regular danmaku games). MoF for freaky hitboxes where I don't understand how I got hit. (Suwako's second spell, before I even go into the gap) SA for being SA, and UFO for I have no idea why I am doing badly. More practice is needed.
-
Well, I spent a bit effort into PCB Extra today and beat it with every shot type. Now I just need to learn how to do Phantasm's Stage part with non-homing characters...
-

Yeah okay. I just don't see how having to put in a lot of time makes a game good. But i have actually also changed a bit regarding my opinion on UFO. Stage 2, 3 aren't that bad. Neither are their bosses. The fact that the game offers a challenge on the first three stages is definitely a good thing that the rest of the series dont'. Things still go straight to hell at Stage 5 though. Which is a shame. There was potential there...
-
But Shou and Byakuren are so much fun. You should 1cc this game some time.
-
I hate Byakuren to death! And i don't really do 1cc'ing much. Except for the rest of the series to demonstrate how pathetic they are. This game is not pathetic however since you'll have to deal with a crappy UFO system that can easily screw you over and my complete lack of patience.
And Stage 5 sucks for having a stage portion. Its basically a 2 minute load time before the boss.
Shou is fun... but Byakuren? How is that anything but masochistic?

I also hate the UFO system. It gives you a ridiculous amount of resources and screws you over because you become too confident. :shakesfist:
You can clearly see when an UFO is about to change color.
Also, don't you mean stage 6?
Shou is fun... but Byakuren? How is that anything but masochistic?
Because... that's what shmups are all about?
-
People hating the UFO system for such different reasons around here, eh? My position was always because they force you into unsafe positions. To tie into the Stage 6 talk, its stage portion is an absolute joke when you play it "normally". Every stage is a bit like that actually, save for the second half of Stage 5.
I like Byakuren's fight though. It's pretty hard for a final boss, but everything feels fair enough to make it enjoyable. Except her second nonspell. That can go die in a fire.
As for Shou, her danmaku and me just don't agree on a fundamental level. ::)
To stay on-topic, I think I may have found a way to make supergrazing the first helix Great Fairies in SA Stage 1 a bit easier. I always had trouble with the normal fairies picking me off because I can't react to their shots at all, but timing unfocused shots at a certain time is helping me survive that part more often.
-
No, i mean stage 5. I have it completely memorized which means its a boring waste of my time. If i want to practice Radiant Treasure Gun i have to sit through it every time. I also mean Stage 6 because that level is also boring. But to be fair, most final stages in Touhou are pretty boring.
I won't just be a complete bitch and moan about UFO's bad sides. Its also important to remember its good sides. Like Stage 3 and 4. The stages offer varied gameplay and don't center around memorization. Why can't the rest of the game be like that? Maybe if things got balanced a little so that maybe the bosses got a little simpler but the stages got a little harder in the style of a legitimately challenging level with an equally challenging boss.
That's actually a reoccuring theme in the Touhou games. A complete lack of balance. Take for example MoF. Aya is way harder than Sanae. So... why is Sanae the Stage 5 boss again? Shouldn't it be the other way around? And is there any reason for something so late in the game to be so pathetic?
SA did the same mistake except that the balancing problem was moved a bit with S4 and S5 having challenging stages AND bosses which makes grinding them not boring but more fun. Too bad that Stage 6 doesn't carry on in that spirit. And too bad that the first three stages are pathetic.
So basically, what this all means is that i hope that ZUN figures out what he did right and what he did wrong for Touhou 13. That is just doesn't do to have a 1/10 difficulty stage followed up by a 10/10 difficulty boss. Have 6 stages, of rising difficulty - not just random, with an equally difficult stage portion and boss and make things as little about memorization (things like simply remembering where enemies spawn and such are okay) as possible. Then take a lot of the creativity used to make patterns in SA, UFO and GFW and make a masterpiece.
EDIT: As this thread isn't meant for talking about how ZUN should make things and how he shouldn't, i'm gonna post an accomplishment. I have over the past weeks on and off had boatloads of fun playing GFW and making Hard mode 1cc's. I wanted to get the hard 1cc's out of the way before focusing on Lunatic mode so i've been making 1cc's of all the routes. Today i just managed to clear C-2. In one attempt even. Same as C-1. Both B routes took me two attempts but i thought the C-routes where supposed to be the hardest ones. Idk what the truth is there yet but the point is that i got to the final boss and their first spellcard knocked me down to 1 life. I was certain that my run was over but then i managed to no-miss the rest of the fight. Nice!
EDIT 2:
Just made myself another Lunatic A-1 clear. It went like crap but i still managed to 1cc. I think i'll try and polish up that 1cc a bit before heading on to A-2. One miss more and i wouldn't had 1cc'd.
I'd wish this game had practice mode. Its a lot of fun.
-
UFO Stage 5 is "completely" memorizeable? Some parts are, but whatever happened to the red bullet spam at the end?
Moving on to GFW, I found that I could actually skip Hard Mode and go straight to Lunatic as I learned each route. Too few bullets to freeze on anything but Lunatic, if you ask me. The reason I don't like the C Routes, and why others might view them as tough, is precisely because Stage 1 for the C Routes doesn't have enough bullets for efficient freezing. I don't remember the exact order of route difficulty, but generally the final boss fights with Sunny Milk or Star Sapphire as leader are around the same difficulty, while Luna Child as leader is harder.

Finally, UFO Stage 4 NDNBNUFO (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11576) (now in YouTube format (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YeymOEkKWE))
And yet... I'm not as happy as I should be, because I screwed up, of all things, a piece of silly choreography. I would make it a point to end the stage with a red and blue UFO on hand, and grab a green one at the end so that the sound effect of the UFO spawning would combine with the opening chord of Murasa's theme. It sounds awesome if you do it right, but I failed to walk in with the right UFO stock so I couldn't do it.
I must be completely missing the point of playing these games.

Cleared UFO extra for the 2nd time and finished 2/2(i think) as opposed to my first run which ended either 0/0 or 0/1.
Also capped Frogger Heiankyou

-
Interesting. I think I may have discovered the secrets to properly streaming Byakuren's second nonspell and to capturing the red bullet spam at the end of UFO Stage 5, both in one sitting. Need more time to verify these though.
-
capturing the red bullet spam at the end of UFO Stage 5
Hug a wall and dodge.
-
Actually, no, you don't want to hug the wall there (unless you mean the lower wall, but even then it's just bad practice since staying higher up gives you four directions to move instead of three). The fairies can fire bullets from offscreen, so there's a chance of getting hit by a bullet that you literally never saw.

Hugging a corner works for me.
Good job VgameT! yay

With this, MoF joins SA and PCB as one of three Touhou games where I've perfected all but one stage in the entire game.

My ideal position is not against any wall. And like Krim said, bullets can come from offscreen, so I don't want to risk bullets randomly blindsiding me.

Mountain of SPEED Extra Youtubed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPg2qiN8Imk)
I die to everything easy and bomb what's hard. Hahaha.
I suppose I should reupload my IN Extra 90FPS run, too, since the quality is shit (as well as pretty much everything before I found Hypercam...)
-
Wait, then what were you using to record them with? (and why is the IN Extra 90fps you have in wide screen?)
-
See Camstudio, incapable of recording anything Touhou at more than 10FPS and if the file size went over 2GB the program would stop running and it wouldn't work with Megui properly because RAGE.
But everything before my Perfect MoF stage 5 lunatic is, well, shit quality because none of the camstudio vids worked with Megui.
That's besides the point of the accomplishment thread, though, but I don't have anything noteworthy to say. D:
-
Oh, Camstudio. I have that. Freaking sucks. I thought it was only performing badly when I got it on my 98, then I got Windows 7 and it still sucks. (yet I still have it on my system. hmmm)
-
Actually, no, you don't want to hug the wall there (unless you mean the lower wall, but even then it's just bad practice since staying higher up gives you four directions to move instead of three). The fairies can fire bullets from offscreen, so there's a chance of getting hit by a bullet that you literally never saw.
I like to put myself near the corner so that i can kill the fairies coming from that side as fast as possible. I suppose hugging the wall is not the best term. Just hang around near it. That's what i do anyway and Jaimers told me how to do it.

That card isn't so bad if you can get the two to go in roughly the same place. I didn't do a very good job of that, but it should be memorizable.

1cc'd PCB Hard with ReimuB but yikes, I SUCKED at some parts, especially Resurrection Butterfly (I keep on capturing it on practice runs on Easy-Hard and botching it by ramming into stuff in manners most worthy of facepalming in real runs). Ended with a measly like 640m score. Heck, My SakuyaA Hard 1cc got about 70m more score.
Well whatever. I'm not playing for score anyways. I 1cc'd PCB Hard with a non-easy-modo shottype. Wee!

Cleared PCB with SakuyaB. This means I've 1cc'd all the standard Touhou games (2, 4-8, 10-12) with most of the characters.

You should try Mokou, since she's easier than the rest of the ex bosses. (though I don't know about Nue because I put not much time in that game)

I was hounding out Imperisable Night's extra for a good two hours.
The closest I got was the end of the second phase of Possessed by Phoenix.
Again.
I'd like some advice to facilitate this.
-
Nue is also fairly easy. (Especially if you use ReimuA, MarisaA, or SanaeB.)
On Possessed by Phoenix second phase, start at the very bottom and tap up very slowly, roughly to the beat of the music; each tap should be as short as possible. (Alternatively, start at the top and go down.) Remember that IN has spell card practice.
-
I've never been successful at playing Possessed by Phoenix using that method, since you have to tap a very tiny amount each time. I just go around in circles since that's more reliable.
-
I have never tried it by circling. Going vertically is the only way to graze graze graze though :V
-
Circling seemed way harder to me. Worst case scenario with tapping is you go too fast and have to bomb once. Circling would introduce way more points of possible failure.
-
Yes but the circling strategy is really simple once you've gotten it down. Its not like you have to read anything. Its just a matter of getting the hang of the pattern. Once that is done there is no chance of you messing it up and it gives you much larger room for error than the vertical streaming.
-
Gave PCB Extra a go with ReimuB, and it was surprisingly easy. I'd (barely) cleared it once with ReimuA before that, but I wanted Phantasm open with a shot type that... Well, isn't weak as hell. Only bombed once on the last spell (no safespotting!) and came out with 3 lives and no bombs. Scored about 401 million, which was nice. Not amazing by any means, but it's a good number for me =).
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11613
-
Alright, the circling on PbP isn't so bad either, but you have to be paying attention to the bullets for that; I messed it up the first time. With the vertical method, I usually just look over at my other computer and read IRC or something while tapping :V
edit: Using the vertical method, it might be easier to do diagonal taps instead of just going up. I tried it once and it worked pretty well; I didn't have to worry too much about making really short taps that way.
-
Finally!
MOF 1cc Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11615)
I really got lucky in Kanako's fight with that random extra life I wasn't expecting. Kanako was the only thing that's been holding this back because I can perfect up to Momiji (not this time though). Normal really is easier than EoSD because it didn't take me as much time or effort. On to PCB!

It's been a few months since I last touched a Touhou game.
The last goal I had been striving for was to 1cc PCB Normal and I failed epically every time.
I just picked up PCB.
I just 1cced Normal.

I'm utilizing this to clear Extra stages.
...Tell me, around an hour of Touhou after countless weeks of hiatus, do you start to suck?
Like, miserably, suck?
-
It's been a few months since I last touched a Touhou game.
The last goal I had been striving for was to 1cc PCB Normal and I failed epically every time.
I just picked up PCB.
I just 1cced Normal.
What the hell is this.
Awesomeness, that's what it is.
Congratulations.
-
What, is there something wrong with MarisaC?
She is Marisa. Since PCB that hasn't been a good thing.
-
She is Marisa. Since PCB that hasn't been a good thing.
Except she's the best in UFO BV
-
Except she's the best in UFO BV
Except that she is not. MarisaA is quite good with her piercing shot and good damage but Sanae destroys her in terms of range and bomb and AFAIK ReimuA has better damage as well as a better bomb. (Marisa's bomb makes her move slowly. That wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for the UFO system but sadly that system is in place so her bomb is a huge handicap.
And MarisaB is outright horrible.
-
Well, Marisa B and C are pretty useful in MoF (if you use a vsync patch for Marisa bugged and memorize good enough for Marisa C). She`s also rather high-tier in fighting games. And piercing in UFO is quite useful for destroying UFO`s that can`t be shot otherwise. I had much more luck with Reimu A and Sanae A (power/homing and better bombs), but she is at least okay. And in LLS/MS/EoSD she is plain awesome. I agree that Magic Team, MoF Marisa A and Marisa B in PCB/UFO suck hard and in SA none of her options got anything on Reimu A. I never played enough PoFV to say anything about her usefulness there, but she seems pretty nice there as well.
On a side note, I just defeated Koishi again. On a damn first try. Even with stupid derps on last phase of Rose and last non-card, I still had a life with full stock. Actually, fighting her now seems almost...fun.
-
MoF Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPqlrqOdVIs) YouTubed after so long.
Just watch stage 6, MarisaC trivializes it in its entirety so hard.
-
So just recently I finally 1cc SA with marisaA! I only died to utsuho like 7 times or something >.> Yeah but MarisaA+extra is looking pretty bad right now...
-
So I had a random bout of insanity and decided to play UFO Normal. I then got a perfect Ichirin battle. (Sadly I didn't make the 1cc, though I DID get to Byakuren's final, which is still VERY nice considering I've only 1cc'd UFO Normal like ONCE in the past )
-
SA none of her options got anything on Reimu A.
I still can't 1cc normal with Reimu A.
I first beat it with Reimu C, and Marisa A is the one I now use.
Marisa A > Reimu A :dealwithit:
-
I still can't 1cc normal with Reimu A.

Omg yes! Marisa has 8 bombs and shotgun. The biggest problem is utsuho imo. Orin is a catwalk oops I mean a cake walk with marisa. So yeah Marisa A >Reimu A
-
I didn't expect to get much done after coming off a short break, but I did capture Rainbow UFOs again, which was cool.
Marisa A < Reimu A
Fixed, for great justice.
-
Reimu C > Marisa A > Marisa C > Reimu A
Fixed for the people who don't agree with my last one.
-
Huh. SA Normal 1cc. Guess my skills aren't all the way gone after all~
...Please don't make me 1cc Hard mode nooo it's too mean
-
Please make me 1cc Hard mode
Fixed.
-
People disagreeing with each other is a fact of life. :V And to demonstrate, I'll fix my last fix:
ReimuA > everyone else
Oh, and don't push ShiningDrake, he can play at whatever pace he wants. SA Normal is tough for a Normal Mode, so congrats to him.
-
Oh, and don't push ShiningDrake, he can play at whatever pace he wants. SA Normal is tough for a Normal Mode, so congrats to him.
To be fair, I HAVE done SA Normal before, and I've 1cc'd PCB Lunatic as well. The only reason this was any sort of achievement is because I'm horrendously out of practice.
-
IN Hard 1cc'd, with both Reimu Solo (started with 7 lives since all I wanted was to unlock Blazing Star, but had 4/0 left in stock at end) and Border Team.
Seriously, this game is quite a lot tougher than EoSD and PCB despite the 1 second deathbomb time (although I think my deathbombs are improving - I managed to pull off three true deathbombs rather than Last Spells across the two runs). Oh well, at least now I finally have Profound Danmaku Bounded FIeld unlocked too - shouldn't take me too long to capture it since it's static and all.
-
ReimuA is stupidly good compared to everyone else in SA. Massive damage, hax bomb, etc.
Anyway, Life Spring Infinity timeout from the bottom (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11638). lol
Also, I hate Kaguya's second card. Anyone have any tips for it?
-
Her bomb is only good for grazing.
It doesn't do enough damage.
For survival she is probably in the bottom two.
-
Yeah, a good deal of IN's patterns focus a lot more on actually learning the patterns, and I think as a result some of them aren't as well-suited for straight-up dodging. Congrats on getting through it all.

Ah, forgive me. But I do know that feeling. When trying to get back into danmaku, those scattered achievements are great morale boosters.

I think I remember reading somewhere that, aside from the opening phase, the lasers are supposed to be aimed around you. From there, it's simply streaming the blue arrows amidst a field of stars (this can get hairy at times though, especially when the RNG decides to keep the lasers relatively close to you).

No one's bomb in SA does "enough damage", at least not compared to bombs in other games. ReimuA's bomb still lasts a respectable amount of time (I think ReimuC's is a bit longer, don't remember for sure) and is still quite useful when used properly.
I actually want you to tell me first why ReimuA is bad for survival.
-
SA ReimuA's bomb last a *long* time, which means your regular shot can do lots of damage during the bomb.
As for Buddhist Diamond, the lasers seemed pretty random to me, but I'll go at it some more. Maybe you're right.
edit: Well, I'm having lasers spawn on top of me, so yeah.
edit2: You did give me the idea of just staying as directly under her as possible, which makes it feel easier, so thanks :)
-
I never said she was bad for survival, I just said she wasn't the best for it.
Someone like Marisa C for her bombs or Marisa A for the amount of bombs she can get would be better for survival.
And it says on the wiki that Reimu C's ability to lock her sho directons is invaluable at times.
And Reimu B is a character(true fact!).
I find that the only part of SA that Reimu A comes in handy would be the streaming part of stage 6, but I can handle that easily with other people.
-
ReimuA is good for survival just because she kills everything so damn fast :V
(and bombs)
-
With Marisa B you could drop a random bomb(on the boss for more damage) and then shotgun the boss with wood lv.3.
With Reimu A you can't do that cause Reimu has no wood(lol).
I'm the type who bombs alot and I can beat the game with Reimu C because of her bomb powah and I can beat it with Marisa A because of her numerous bombs.
Yet Reimu A......... Nothing.

So apparently "bottom two" doesn't count as bad?
Marisa's hitbox alone makes her worse than Reimu for survival, bombs or not, because let's face it, you won't be able to bomb through "everything", per se, and you'll need to do some dodging as a result (I think this was intentional on ZUN's part, considering MoF's blatant weakness to bombspamming).
ReimuC's shot is already pretty weak when the options are aligned parallel to Reimu's standard amulet bullets, and it becomes even weaker when you separate the two. Being able to fire in multiple directions might have a few uses during stages, where enemies come from all over, but it's absolutely useless against bosses because they're just one target.
I'm not sure what ReimuB being a "character" has to do with anything. Just because it exists doesn't automatically mean it's good, as ReimuC and all of Marisa's shots have demonstrated. :V And because I know it'll come up sooner or later, I believe ReimuB's auto-collect feature is completely redundant. Just use the Communication Gauge if you want to collect stuff below the PoC.
From a survival perspective, there's really only two places in the whole game where I recommend gapping, though that doesn't mean you can't choose to use it elsewhere in a pinch. But yeah, like Nereid said, ReimuA's greatest strength is, well, her strength. It really is that good.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post. This happens a lot when you make a long post, eh? :V
Sounds like you just need to practice more, is all. Once you learn the danmaku, you won't need to bomb as much.
-

Says something about PCB. :) But i'm sure that you can pull of a Hard 1cc of MoF if you have a 1cc of PCB Lunatic.
-
Gave Kaguya a go. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11640) No deaths, 2 deathbombs (Buddhist Diamond (damn that card) and third nonspell), and also failed Rising World.
-

I never said that the bottom two were bad.

I was going to say something about this but I instantly forgot it(stupid memory).

Yeah this is very true b/c when I tried bombspamming my way through orin I entered stage 6 with not enough power. And even trying to bomb everything of utsuhos took me from close to max lives to 1 extra life after bombing mostly everything. anyways back on topic I did beat ufo extra awhile back. If i remained in position for a sec longer on undefined darkness I probably would have captured it but whatever ill take it. :D
-
SA isn't really a bomb spamming game like MoF is, though, since it's a lot less generous with power items.
Oh, last night I captured all of Kaguya's Last Spells in a row. Getting close :D

NDNB IN Stage 6B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11648), whee. I'm not satisfied though; I only captured 2 of the Last Spells. I'm still going to go for a perfect run.
-

I didn't remember exactly what I was going to say so I'm just gonna say this.
I'm actually quite fine with the dodging, I only bomb alot cause I'm lazy :D.
-

And the bombs are nowhere near as powerful. If you had MoF bombs in SA you could wipe out any boss encounter with if you get to them at full power because of the bosses tendency to their attacks split between very simple ones and hard ones.

Finally finished off SA extra for good. Got inspired and 1cc'd SA normal with Marisa C. Thanks to her cowardly bomb I only died once (on Parsee's last WTF), but the clear of extra was with no lives left. 8( Glad I never have to do that again.

EoSD 1cc Normal, Marisa B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11674)
I just have ReimuA to do and I'll have gotten all of the Normal characters, but she sucks so...
On another note, first time perfecting Meiling (sad isn't it?). I thought I was so screwed when I lost that life with 4 freaking bombs to Star of David. Nope!

What would be wrong with it? Its probably the hardest EX Stage around there. Last time i tried i died at Maze of Love because i forgot it was coming and tried to shotgun... did cap QED though so i guess its cool.
-
What would be wrong with it?
Because the whole game, Extra included, suffers from a (relatively) terrible engine. It is inferior to the engines of all other Windows games, and it detracts from the gameplay more than it should. Don't get me wrong, the game has never been "unplayable", so to speak (at least once you have the retexture and Vsync patches :V), but the fact that ReimuB has suddenly become more useful for dodging is what prevents me from ignoring this game outright.
Might as well stay on topic. First EoSD Extra clear with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11684) should count here. I captured "Royal Flare" for the first time with someone other than MarisaA (the path through it is simpler than I thought it would be), and I almost captured Q.E.D. for the first time (died stupidly as Flandre was exploding ::)).
Actually, this replay should also (at least partially) show why this game's engine is worse than all the others. Provided it runs the same way on other people's games, anyway, I want someone to find any unusual things that happen during Flandre.
EDIT: EoSD Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8307/eosdstage3lunaticperfec.jpg)
Almost forgot that I hadn't done this yet. This stage actually isn't that bad, which is the only reason I considered playing it.

Please elaborate; I'm certain you'll have more to show than "bawwwww no visible hitbox" and "bawwwwww a couple of bullet hitboxes are different", right?

Right?
I included a visible hitbox when I got the retexture patch, and those two bullets with different hitboxes did become a bit more manageable over time (though I still believe the metal-fatigue bullets narrowly avoided being outright broken).
I think the biggest offender would have to be the RNG (if you can include that as part of the "engine"). It's only prevalent in the later stages of Story Mode, really, but combined with the above different bullet hitboxes, the RNG does not handle itself nearly as well as in other games.
There's a bunch of minor bugs too (like the ones you can see in my replay above), though every game seems to have at least one, so yeah.

Unlike Utsuho's suns which have different hitboxes for each card in the same freakin' game, right.

You mean familiar-like objects still shooting for a split-second after the card they belong to was beaten? Looks like a bug indeed, I never bothered with it because guess what, it barely affects gameplay if at all.

Congrats man!
Unlike Utsuho's suns which have different hitboxes for each card in the same freakin' game, right.
I'm pretty sure there's little to no difference in the suns' sprite-to-hitbox ratio for the first two cards. I'm not sure I can pinpoint exactly why their hitboxes are smaller on the third. Best I can give is that it was a technical oversight - perhaps ZUN felt having their hitboxes be as big as their sprites made it too hard, so he made them a bit smaller and forgot to check for any safespots it would have created. Just a theory.
Thing is, I'm not sure it's a perfect comparison between EoSD's metal-fatigue bullets and Utsuho's suns. When you have bullets as big as the latter are, I'd say it's pretty much instinctual to get the hell out of their way. Obviously one can apply this to metal-fatigue bullets too, but I believe the problem comes from them being used in patterns as if they were supposed to have their smaller hitboxes from the future (only on, like, a couple cards at max rank at most, and perhaps only because of the RNG).
So you're complaining that the patterns are too random for your taste? Getting walled by Bury in Lake/Emerald Megalith/Vampire Illusion made you grumpy?
I can't recall the last time I got truly walled on either of those first two cards - all of my deaths were legit mistakes on my end. It's more the fact that for a few cards (pretty much only during Remilia) you have to rely on the RNG to not get completely walled. Random boss movements also make scattered cards across the game more difficult than needed, but that's more subjective on my part and nowhere near game-breaking anyway.
You mean familiar-like objects still shooting for a split-second after the card they belong to was beaten? Looks like a bug indeed, I never bothered with it because guess what, it barely affects gameplay if at all.
I called them "minor" for just that reason. I was actually surprised that it happened twice in that one replay. The reason I called it out is because it is not supposed to happen, and the presence of such programming mistakes merely makes me groan on the inside.

Really? I only get walled like 1% of the time in Remillia lunatic.
That wall only happens either in Scarlet Gensokyo (big wall on a big bubble wave) or Vampire Illusion (hard wave over near-wall).
All my other deaths were legit mistakes (ie there were obvious escape routes)
Not saying that the random boss movements don't make it very very annoying, but... it's not the walls.
Scarlet Meister is a complete BS card for me, so... didn't count that :V
Oh, and in case you don't know, Vampire Illusion "walls" are usually quite dodgable (both micro- and macrododge).
It's Scarlet Gensokyo walls that are utterly impossible, due to having 1000 other random bullets around that screw you over.
Fortunately, Scarlet Gensokyo rarely spawn that kind of walls, so it isn't that bad.
I don't think EoSD has a terrible engine at all.
I captured "Royal Flare" for the first time with someone other than MarisaA (the path through it is simpler than I thought it would be)
Your path is not bad, but it can be even simpler.
You can stay in a safespot, and the only movement you need is that down move (last move of the spell in your replay).
-

Yeah, I've yet to "completely" memorize the second wave. As long as whatever I'm doing works, I'll take it.
And to go back on-topic after all this time: "Vampire Illusion" finally recaptured. I honestly wish I could save replays in Practice Mode...
EDIT: EoSD Extra Stage 3DNB run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11688)
My best run yet. Died twice on "Kagome, Kagome" and, of course, once on Q.E.D. Why is it when I'm practicing an Extra Stage, there's always a point where I make a very radical jump in my performance and pull off something like this?
-
Pffffft. You should play without any retexture pack/hitbox patch/anything. Visible hitbox in EoSD is cheating. :V
No Touhou accomplishments for me lately (I've been playing Crimzon Clover :V) but I did upload my MoF Extra perfect (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h43tUVdjo0) to youtube.

Congratz man, amazing feeling when you 1CC a game for the first time, I've only 1CCed easy mode twice, both with ReimuA.
The only thing that makes EOSD hard for me is the fact that you only get 3 lives in practice mode. I can't even beat stage 5 in practice mode and its only recently that I can even sometimes beat stage 4. Took me forever to just be able to beat stage 3 on practice mode too >_> (all of this on normal mode mind you, I don't play easy mode for 6 since ZUN decided to be a jack#$% and not include stage 6)
unfortunately no real accomplishments for me lately, though I did manage to 1CC MoF easy mode again. IN and MoF are the only ones that I can consistently (somewhat at least) 1CC on easy mode.
-
Pffffft. You should play without any retexture pack/hitbox patch/anything. Visible hitbox in EoSD is cheating. :V
Ah come on. Its not cheating. I got to enjoy the game a lot more because i couldn't blame my deaths on the invisible hitbox. It didn't make the game much easier though.
Don't you just think its something ZUN just didn't think of yet? It makes sense for it to be there like in the rest of the games.
-

I did found the game to be much easier with a visible hitbox. Predicting your hitbox without actively seeing it is a skill all by itself.
Also, you can't submit highscores if you play with a visible hitbox. :V

So, by that logic the earlier 'pachis should have a visible hitbox because DFK has one?
-
Personally I just find EoSD easier without the hitbox patch for some reason (on Normal at least). It makes me a lot less scared to make tight dodges, especially after everyone's complaints about the bullets/knives have made me paranoid.
The retexture patch stays though. :3

We are not supposed to compare the Pachi's and Touhou :V Okay. No, i suppose DDP and DOJ doesn't need visible hitboxes just cause' DFK has it and the same would apply for EoSD. Personally, i just don't find anything wrong with using the patch. It eliminated the number 1 issue i had with the game those two years back when i first played it. Seriously, that patch was a godsend. It made me appreciate the game much more even though it didn't improve my performance much.
-
I gotta admit, lgb's retexture patch 'don't do this' is kind of silly. :V I do think the game is a little easier with the hitbox patch, though. I'd definitely encourage using it as you're learning the game, but I think you'd want to remove it as you move up to higher levels of play, it's an unnecessary crutch. Obviously there's no way to tell if someone's used it or not, so a rule about it doesn't have any huge bearing in the first place, but I'd encourage not using it for high scoring runs to make them that much more impressive.
-
I use the retexture patch, but i've never used the hitbox patch. I played EOSD the most when I was still learning the game (figured that because it was the first windows one it would be the easiest...luckily I learned otherwise or I wouldn't be playing anymore :p ) so I got very use to playing without hit box visible. So yeah, I'd advocate not using it so you can get a better feel for it instead of always having to look at it. I only look at the hit box in later games for REALLY tight squeezes.
-
EoSD was my first Touhou and first bullet hell, and I had no clue the white dot was my hitbox until I read about it on a forum somewhere. I also had no clue what focus mode was, so I always played without focus as Reimu because she's slower than Marisa. I think I was eventually able to 1cc up to Sakuya or something XD.
Anyway on the topic of accomplishments... MoF Hard is out of the way now, with ReimuB. Scored about 290M, which is a bit lower than my Normal high score of 301M, but a clear's a clear. PCB is next in line =3.

Keeping in mind that downloading the games is very frowned upon here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,17.0.html), you may want to watch your words.

Will do! Not sure if I still have the replay for my normal clear though, so I may have to redo that one.

EoSD doesn't seem that hard to me...
I mean, it's like the only game I can make it to the final boss with five lives in...
Perhaps we should have a thread where we list the games based on different points...
-

It's all subjective. There may be games where most of us would agree to be the hardest/easiest, but others are really borderline and it's really how you play them that would determine their difficulties, or other points.
-
Hey guys. Guy who made first hitbox patch thing here.
Stop using it after you move up to Hard. Stop it. Get rid of it forever, you don't need it.
-
What about the vsync patch is that considered unnecessary at a certain point? And c'mon guys the hitbox aint necessary so drop it like a bad habit.
-
I just use vsync to fast forward replays. :D
(not really)
But really, there's no need for a visible hitbox. The only time it's important is during SA stage 6.
-
Hmm yeah SA stage 6 has those one things with that certain peculiarity which makes the hitbox quite important. =)
-
So aside from SA, I try to play without the visible hitbox whenever possible (basically just MoF and PCB, really. D:)
-
What about the vsync patch is that considered unnecessary at a certain point? And c'mon guys the hitbox aint necessary so drop it like a bad habit.
VSync patch is critical to proper play in EoSD and PCB (and is very useful for the other games as well). All it does is help you play the game properly without the unintended input lag that your computer creates. Never drop it ever.
-
Thts what I thought. Thanx Drake!
-
This may just be me talking, but I've never been hindered by the lack of a hitbox in EoSD. Sure I enjoy the feature, but really, learning where your hitbox is without it being visible helps you to be much more aware of just how much room you have. With all the different bullets and their different hitboxes, your own visible hitbox is less important than learning those invisible ones.
And yeah, vsynch is necessary if you want to play well in EoSD.
-
So like I played GFW Hard on my friend's laptop and 1credited my way to Stage 3
A recurring trend, a hurrr hurrr hurrr
For some reason, the dropoff for me in this game is at the exact same point in the former three difficulties
I'd like to see him beat 9.3 million...
-
PCB Hard cleared =3. Pretty bad run, I think I lost 4 lives to Youmu, but oh well. SA next I guess, since UFO just rapes me inside out.
-
...
Wauw. I cannot believe you can let me do that with your only hard attack Mima.
Welp, now Mima's entire first fight is trivial. I think I'm close to cracking the last phase. Timing is iffy. :<
EDIT:
I somehow broke my save states by reload spamming. :V
-
Ah i finally beat mof extra today. However the run was absolute garbage. I almost captured suwakos last card but i bombed right when she died b/c i was shaking like a crazy. Well im happy with it :V
-

Yeah, I've beaten that recently too. BUT, I used Marisa B(roken)
I also just recently figured out that the vsync patch for MoF has an option to fix her laser glitch. :o
-
FINALLY defeated Byakuren on Hard!! I had no lives no bombs at Flying Saucer and actually captured it!
Working my way up... I should be a Lunatic player before too long...
-
PoDD lunatic 1cc with Rikako.
First try. Sure is refreshing when you're used to Kana. :V
Got killed by Chiyuri four times. Was on the brink of rage-quitting, glad I didn't.
The weirdest part was when Yumemi went from full health to death in 5 seconds. ...I guess that's Rikako for ya! :V
-
Captured PSM Lunatic with MarisaA today.
Then with ReimuA.
Then with SanaeB.
All in less than three tries.
I feel like the game just gave me the captures or something, PSM is supposed to be one of the hardest cards in the series right? :ohdear:
-
My first 1cc of PCB with max lives is the saddest 1cc I've ever done. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11730)
The major derp near the end of stage 4 almost made me rage quit. Then the Youmu fight went 9 kinds of backwards even on the attacks I knew. Then stage 6 midboss Youmu was absolute crap. Yuyuko was just a bomb fest and I still don't know how I died on Swallowtail butterfly. The thing I'm still going crazy about is how I ran to the POC on Resurrection Butterfly after I thought it was over and didn't get hit on the very last wave.
-

I finally sat down and finished learning how to supergraze the stage portion of SA Stage 2 Lunatic. It's kinda hard to mimic having half Power during midboss-Parsee (as is typical during a full scorerun) without deviating from other things you have to do, but even with full Power I've managed to break 1200 graze (http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/8827/sastage2lunatic1232graz.jpg) by boss-Parsee. If it means anything, that's about 100 graze better than PondeSuika's Stage 2 performance in his/her former WR run.
-

Take 'er down for me! :D BTW, which attack were you referring to? I can think of only one that gives me any trouble on her anymore before the final phase.
-
PCB stage 5 normal perfect. Wee.
-
If it means anything, that's about 100 graze better than PondeSuika's Stage 2 performance in his/her former WR run.
Means anything? So far, pondeS has the best consistant grazing of the first four stages of SA, better than both saki and UKT, who bet his score only due to superior milking of Orin's point item dropping ghost non-card. To outgraze him means a lot. Go for top score!
-
SA and UFO are too much for me, I wanna get some other stuff done before I do those on hard. So with that said, LLS hard, MS normal, and EoSD normal no focus cleared. Also Seihou Shuusou Gyoku normal 1cc'd.
-
Captured Apollo 13 Hard without using the "go in the center of everything" trick. Hooray for minor achievements.
EDIT: Captured the lunatic version too in 6 tries. Hooray for slightly more major achievement?
-
BTW, which attack were you referring to? I can think of only one that gives me any trouble on her anymore before the final phase.
This one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXo2Pl07y5E#t=2m02) You can actually just go up to the spawn point and dodge from there. The bullets don't spread out and you can follow a safe path. :derp:
Half of Mima's stuff is static and the other half is abuseable it's amazing. :V
Not that I'm complaining though, as on max rank these things are pretty much the only reason you can dodge some of this stuff. I'm honestly not sure if it's even possible to perfect Mima on max rank with anyone other than Reimu A. As Reimu A's speed just barely manages to outrun the bouncy stars misdirection.
-
Decided to play SWR. Played Hard for the first time for story with Patchy and got the run first try. The cool part of it was, upon reviewing the replay, I capped every single spell.
Well, time for Lunatic! :D
EDIT: Aaaaggghhhh!!!! How the heck are you supposed to beat Suika?! Missing Purple Power is way too hard, there must be some trick.
The only way I figured that one out is to lose the game. (that's working well! :V)

Hunlocked it yet. I'm going back and playing hard soon, since I heard you have to capture 60 spell cards in game to unlock it.

Ah yes, that's how I did it too. I'm not sure how Mima looks at max rank, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me if the stars outran you at max rank, considering it's SoEW. ;>_>
EDIT: Aaaaggghhhh!!!! How the heck are you supposed to beat Suika?! Missing Purple Power is way too hard, there must be some trick.

The trick is to play as Yukari and continuously gap from one side to the next. :V No clue how Patchy is supposed to handle it though.
-
Hunlocked it yet. I'm going back and playing hard soon, since I heard you have to capture 60 spell cards in game to unlock it.
True, but those 60 cards can be unlocked by all characters. You don't have to have 60 cards capped for one character, it's the grand total.
-
YES! I finally did it. Lunatic 1cc of SWR story with Patchy. Took way too long to do because this game just loves to not listen to me. (as you can read in the failures thread and the general [fighting games] discussion thread.
The trick, you ask, for the last spell, Suika's whatever-it's-called spell? Royal Flare! Though for some reason it didn't completely kill her this time, which is a first, since it always does. (then I died after but had one life left. 5C FTW!)
So this makes my first Lunatic 1cc of any Touhou game. I feel awesome!

That one can be complicated the first few runs though. Just remember that butterflies have small hitboxes. The easiest last word I've fought was Blind Nightbird. (7 tries) The hitboxes on those green bullets seem way too small. Youtube replay. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnkfPy1qhNo)
(note that I've only unlocked the first 4 last words)

Please note how un-accomplishment I've been at Touhou lately, and then note how I capped EotE in nine tries.
The only other LW I have is Unseasonable Butt Storm, and I know the trick, but can't quite pull it off. 0 / 57
I think the worst hell I went through though in this game was Fujiyama Volcano in Spell Practice.
-

I hate that card. I'm very inconsistent with it, to the point of epic fail. Malice is wonderful to use against it though. Kills her in literally 2 or 3 seconds once she has orbs up.
-

Nice. From my perspective you probably beat something that's harder than any Lunatic i've ever done. :V I suck so hard at fighters... :(
You did a good job. Congratulations.

EDIT:
Perfect LLS Stage 5 Yuka at Max Rank (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxXebZx2ctM)
Turns out the final pattern isn't actually so hard to just beat normally.
EDIT TWO POINT OH
All right. Cracked Yuka's final boss opener and I'm getting pretty consistent with her final pattern (caught it three times in a row lol).
I think I can perfect the final boss.
EDIT THE RETURN OF THE REVENGE
Oh wauw, is this for real?
If you stall the second to last attack and finish her off on something like the fourth wave, you get a slightly easier version of the final attack.
I'm not absolutely sure about this, but it happened like twice now.
EDIT:
No wait it's not the stalling. It just seems to just happen randomly...?
EDIT AGAIN:
lol exploit
Will perfect tomorrow.
-
After taking a break from touhou for a while, I went back to IN.
Today, for the first time, I got to stage 6a boss and with lives and a continue, The only bad thing is that I ended up dying to Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" but I am pretty proud of myself even if I am rusty at dodging bullets
-
Captured Storm on Mt. Ooe (normal). Pretty easy card, but I always seem to bomb once on it so yay =3. And I would also like to point out...
Orin is a tabby (http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9757/51921720.png)
-
Orin is a tabby (http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9757/51921720.png)
Yep. I always lol when I can see that when I fight her. It just seems so random (though it isn't much)
Do you think that's ZUN's cat?
-
Orin is a tabby (http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9757/51921720.png)
I thought that was supposed to represent the colony of cats found in Pripyat?
Back on-topic: Gained quite a bit more knowledge today on how to score sections of SA Lunatic, along with a bit of progression with execution. This will obviously take a while, but at this stage any progression is welcome. Not to mention my motivation is only getting higher.
-

I'm almost a 100% sure that's it. However, it still might very well be ZUN's cat though.

Perfect LLS Stage 6 Yuka at Max Rank (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgxBdiNTOB0)
Yuka's final boss battle sure has a lot of variety. In all kinds of things.
-
I survived Storm on Mt. Ooe (easy) without losing a single life! I always die or bomb on that card but I survived! ;w;
-
I am so proud of myself right now, even though it might seem silly to other touhou players.
I managed to complete Imperishable Night (though not True Ending, Normal Ending no.5) for the final time on easy mode.
Shame I couldn't do it without the continues, so no replay of it, but still, I feel good.
Now to attempt PCB and then go back and try to get True Ending on IN
-
Caught Mima's final phase three times now.
Mainly thanks to me figuring out a way to make the "streaming from hell" a thousand times easier and figuring out that the "random crap attack" is static.
...I am not making that up.
The first fight is mechanical. It's just a matter of chaining them both now.
EDIT:
Aaand did it.

Laundry?
Well, this just support what i was saying. Its important to attempt stuff every once in a while. I'm nowhere close to serious on 1cc'ing UFO Lunatic but on a whim half a year ago i still managed to get to Shou's final non-spell. And in Ketsui i managed to get almost to the end of the final stage. And when i did PCB back in the day i 1cc'd the game with 4 lives in stock.
-

That WAS on a full playthrough, except I continued at stage 4. Which means no replay either (or I'd have it up on youtube already).
I still haven't figured out how resurrection butterfly 80% flies yet, and I'm horrible at some of the stage 3/4 stuff. Funnily enough Youmu doesn't give me nearly as much trouble when I'm playing Reimu, except her two screw-you nonspells (I've learned how to redirect the first one, but not the second one with any consistency).

How about practicing Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana? Its harder than 80% Reflowering. Its a final card so its understandable if its troubling you but its one of the easier of its kind. At least in my opinion. And the entirity of Yuyuko's fight is pretty simple too if you know what you're doing. I'd recommend you go look up a video for those things that trouble you. Mine are good as they have annotations. (shameless-selfadvertisement ftw)

Caught one of the stage 4 midbosses, caught the Rings of Doom, perfected stage 5 and 6.

Boss Marisa is really cheap by the way.

It's always good to see progress in a long-term project like scoring a game. Just before, I performed my path through SA Stage 5 flawlessly after only a few tries, and while I was still a bit groggy from napping.

Whatcha mean? My horrible inconsistencies? If so, I'm not really sure... It happened with my first SA/UFO clears too - I would either barely beat or fail on stage 5 for the longest time, and then I suddenly ended up getting through Orin and Shou with 8 and 6 lives respectively.
-
Taking a break from an essay, I played UFO stage 6. This isn't really an accomplishment, but it's no rage either. During the course of the fight, my performance ranged from screwing up the opener and still surviving, to screwing up Magic Butterfly, to capturing LFO without requiring any fancy dodging.
I love how variable my performance on this fight is~ The only control is that it's always fun.
EDIT: Just proved once again that it's possible to dodge Vampire Illusion's walls. I wonder if I'm really the only person to have thought of this?
-

It has always been *possible* for me. It's just that I usually use Marisa, who moves fast and so sometimes I can't tap accurately.
So, sometimes I can, and sometimes I can't, depending on how Marisa decides to move.

Btw, ND1B Scarlet Gensokyo... at last, I'm getting close to capturing that damn card.

It's amazing how much less fearsome Marisa is in GFW when you finally learn how to handle the stage attacks and can reach her with 600+% motivation and full bombs.
Not to say I can beat her yet, but it's definitely progress!
Also kicking myself because apparently the solution to Daiyousei & Lily's third attack was so obvious that I could only notice it after coming back to the game after like four months without touching it.

...Aren't you a lunatic 1ccer? I could have sworn I saw your accomplishments a few months back and thought I sucked afterwards. I mean I can 1cc most lunatics, but not all, and those I can are a struggle.
Anyway I've reached the point where I can 1CC another mode Phantasm romance on whim despite not playing it for over 2 weeks without retrying or whatever. Reimu or Shinki routes. (though Shinki is way more Fun, and I still suck at Reimu's final spellcard).

Got it on my first try too! Well, not really, but first attempt in about a month. I'd have to say there were at least a few "Oh shit, I'm totally gonna fail this run" moments. One being Gengetsu's master spark phase, since the fast blue bullets after the spark are really tough for me... I managed to dodge the last wave of them on my last life with no bombs in reserve though, and got an extend immediately after. Got to the last phase with 1 life 2 bombs, and I'm not so good at reading those types of patterns... Somehow pulled through though and finished with 1 life no bombs =D.

PoDD lunatic 1cc with Kotohime! :D
First death against Chiyuri. Made some really stupid mistakes throughout. I blame it being late. :V
I think I'm getting the grips with this game now.
Replay desynced again, but I think I know what's causing it now.

You mean the video, with the sound? If that's true, the latest version of Hypercam3 fixed that problem. No more delay! (awesome)
-
Another timeout of Greatest Treasure :derp: It wasn't entirely luck-based this time. I think I actually saw all the paths and gaps.
-
FINALLY! I decided to pull up StB for no real reason and actually beat 6-2 on my first try! That last wave ALWAYS kills me too. :o
Currently, my mind = EXPLODE! (http://1greengeneration.elementsintime.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nuclear_explosion.jpg)

I booted up UFO for the first time in a long time and tried fighting Murasa... i got hit a lot during the stage and boss due to some rust... and i got to the anchor card with 1xx power and timed it out by accident. :V
-
Did a random run of EoSD Extra after not playing it in months, got a 1DNB run with the one death being on Kagome-Kagome, of all things.
Then did a timeout of Flower Imaginary Dream Vine Lunatic, before remembering EoSD doesn't save replays of stages :V
-

Yeah, the sound again. And nah, something else. Check the other thread.
As for Hypercam3, I never liked it. Couldn't get it to work properly either. Although that was quite a long time ago so eh.
EDIT:
So Kana herself is useless eh?
Stage 7 lasted less than a minute and the AI got hit by Kana's bullets the entire time.
I have no idea what happened there.

EX-Alice defeated >=3 (http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5910/36361665.png)
-
Yessssssss. Perfect Mu/Gengetu fight~ The advent of savestates to remove the stage portion really made this easier on me. Still, it's amazing how much harder she got when I actually got serious at perfecting her. ;^_^ Aah, a good fight like that is just what I needed to perk back up.
-
Yes! Capped Apollo 13 hard! As posted in the recording failures thread, I've been having trouble (like donut) with that forbidden card of burden that shouldn't exist.
-
I have no idea what happened there.
What happened is that Kana's stage 7 is against Ellen :V
-
Downed Suwakero =) (http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1285/43070095.png)
This leaves... SoEW, EoSD, SA, and UFO's extras... I guess EoSD is next in line.
-
Yay UFO Hard 1cc all shot types.
Also I can somehow capture Byakuren's last spell after failing everything else she has, yay.
-
I guess EoSD is next in line.
Do UFO instead.
It's much easier once you figure out a route.
My route involved getting to Nue with three lives.
I also sacrifice a life on Kogasa's second card cause I can't do that one at all.
Unless i have bombs.
Off topic: I waited out the conversation scene with Aya and Hatate in spoiler-1 because I wanted to see how many jap characters that I could read.
I waited long enough and then the waterfall turned into a yellow background.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Not that it's a bad thing...

Decided recently that I'd work on Last Words. I was working on capping Hourai Elixir for unlocking Mokou's Last Word. It's funny that it took me more tries to cap the normal version than the hard version today. (normal: 31 tries, hard: 19 tries)
Speaking of captures, it seems that at some point in time, my score.dat file broke but in a good way. It says that I've capped Tele-Mesmerism (Reisen's Last Spell) for normal in one shot. I've clearly never pulled that off and if I did, I'd remember it.

I'm not really surprised. Once you get the method down, it's just adjusting to the density. Once you're used to the crossover green bullets, it's just the last phase that's tough. Lunatic is a real bitch though, the last phase is really dense toward the end, to the point where there's so many bullets that some don't appear. To be honest I think it took me 3-4 tries at 10fps.

Odd... But pretty nifty if it's something you need for a last word or something. I think I've only captured it in a full run a couple times, I can't read horizontal bullets for the life of me... Or bullets from behind, but thankfully I can only think of a couple cards that do that. Like this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xZ_Co8-Vl8&NR#t=2m11s)
-
Once you're used to the crossover green bullets, it's just the last phase that's tough.
The green bullets aren't that hard, at least in hard mode and under. You just go to the corner of the screen (I pick bottom right) and dodge that way. If you do it that way, the gaps are bigger.
I'll upload that spell up later and a few others, when nobody else is using the internet here. You know how that is...

Yeah, and once I realized they were aimed it suddenly felt a lot easier. Regardless, a lot of my early failures on that card on Normal were because of those green bullets. I was kinda crappy at crossover bullets in general back then though, so that may have had something to do with it.

They're aimed? I never noticed. Seems pretty random to me.
And the part that always killed me was usually the final phase. (the other deaths were me just being stupid or me moving over too much)
-
I beat PCB on Lunatic. It only took five live per continue, 3 continues, and nearly 60 bombs because I used Sakuya's homing option.
Though I'm not sure it's an achievement if I had to use my third continue and around 60 bombs to do it.

It depends on how you normally perform. If you feel accomplished then its an achievement.

I need to get back to MoF... I've been meaning to break 1B points with MarisaA, simply because she seems to have no fans. At the same time, I'm still pissed off (about 2-3 weeks later) by the fact that I kept losing a life on stage 4 or 5, usually on easy parts or on one of Sanae's cards where the movement's really delicate and I should probably just bomb.

Captured 11 of the 13 spell cards on MoF Extra and I nearly doubled my previous best from a meager 180 and change to a more substantial 317 and change. Improvements, improvements.
I also died 3 times on Suwa War and forgot to save the replay. I've been so dissatisfied with how I start off, it's almost automatic to skip it. :colonveeplusalpha:

Your first? Congratulations. Go do MoF now. :)
I barely got MoF on hard actually... I'm thinking IN next since it's relatively easy, then a tossup between EoSD/PCB/MS, then maybe MoF after those. SA hard and SoEW will fit themselves in whenever I feel like playing them, SA lunatic after my other lunatics, UFO hard after SA lunatic, UFO lunatic after I can no death no bomb DDP DaiOuJou's Hibachi... Basically easiest to hardest.
-
... x_X
Just for lulz I decided to try TH5 just to see how far I could get on easy. 1CCd the game even though I've never played a PC-98 Touhou before >_>;;;
Beat the game as Yuuka. lost my first life to Alice and nearly got destroyed by Yuki and Mai (those damn fat curving lasers killed me 3 times in a row) and beat Shiki on my last life with no bombs.
-
Congratz =). You should give LLS a try on normal next, I find that game's difficulty is about a point lower than it should be. Ie. hard feels like normal, lunatic feels like hard.
Also, assuming it was Alice's pellet swarm that killed you, she will only shoot aimed shots if you don't attack her during her shield phases, which is very nice for easy grazing. More graze, more points, more extends!
-
I don't quite remember what killed me. I think I backed back into a bullet I had already dodged. Shame MS doesn't have a replay function that I noticed.
-
Yeah, EoSD is the first to have a replay feature... And you can notice it (no replays on practice for example).

I'm sure MoF will be easy for you. Just bomb everything. Its certainly easier than EoSD. But its danmaku is harder than IN and PCB's so you might want to start out with those. IN is in my opinion the second easiest Touhou game to 1cc on Lunatic, the number 1 being PCB, so that's a pretty good step for you. Both will give you lives like there's no tomorrow and PCB have a very abusable cherry border system as well so... its basically get cherry border, blow it up when its about to end and fill your cherry gauge half-way up again and suddenly you are at Stage 6 with 8 lives. When you get better that is. In your first run you will understandably lose a lot of lives along the way since it requires some knowledge and experience to know exactly what is threatening in PCB and how to remove it from existance. :)
Regardless of what you choose, IN, PCB or my personal first, MoF, i wish you good luck with it.

"Get as far as you can in MoF's Extra Stage at 300fps!"
From the other topic. Got to past kanako.
Let's try 90 FPS now. This is seriously easy mode now after the 300 and 150 FPS fails.
A few tries later,
90 FPS MoF Extra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=11912)
This was a few tries after a double KO on the final card BTW. Did the glitch to make Suwako's first card ridiculously easy as I didn't want to risk derping that. It's not really that hard though, just a matter of not being a derp.
-
Have finally managed to 1cc PoDD Normal with all three characters I really wanted to do it with (Kotohime, Kana and Ellen to be more precise). Pretty awful scores though.

Apparently I can pacify Yumeko. The hard phases that occur at the end of the streaming phases don't occur if you time them out so it's not really that hard to do.

YES!!! I finally did it! As you may have read from the failures thread, I was having trouble with SA normal. But I finally did it! (Ya happy now chirpy?)
But anyways, it was a pretty epic run. I managed to never die until boss Orin's second nonspell (a derp death), so at that point, I had max lives in stock. Then I lost a few but still ended up with 4 lives at the end.
It's funny, because this was my first attempt for the day. I have no idea how I did this and I don't expect myself to top this in a long time.

I was about to make a "How the hell..." comment, but then I saw you said last three cards and not last card. I should give it a go with MarisaB as well, since she's the only shot type I haven't done it with yet. I shall be back soon with results! Hopefully good ones...
Also, wow, I just checked the shot analysis and apparently MarisaB UF Far is worse than ReimuA UF Far? That's pretty awful...
EDIT: So a few CHEEEEEEEEEEENs and a couple bad words later, I finished with a garbage run. Messed up a lot of stuff I shouldn't have, but I didn't really care at that point... I even bombed through Chen so I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore >_>. Scored just over 480m points, finished with 3 lives. I'm pretty amazed I captured 12 Generals though. I had 2 bullets (the arrow ones) side by side coming straight at me, tapped bomb, found out I actually had no bombs at the time, I somehow grazed between the two bullets and captured it. Dem hitboxes.
-
Like 90% of MarisaB's damage comes from the lasers. But when you're unfocused the laser splits in half and becomes way too spread. Even at point blank you'll be doing what, 50% of focused damage with awful cherry rate?
-
Yeah, I noticed... And her bombs are complete garbage too. Spark completely destroys everything in sight, but you move way too slow during it to even get any point items from it. I mean, I'm cool with a crappy scoring character, but MarisaB can't even reach the PoC before the items fall off the screen... That's just terrible.

At first i was disappointed by seeing you start with more than the default starting lives but when you cleared the game with 5 lives in stock that disappointment was lifted. You would've won the game even without those extra lives. But your run wasn't bad at all. You even captured Alice's first spellcard. Thumps up for that. You did good. Congratulations.
Oh and if you don't mind me saying, try beating the game with Reimu or Marisa next time. :)

Since I don't want to make a new topic for such little questions...
GFW - Easiest routes to clear for each difficulty (other than easy)? And is it just that I've only watched replays of lunatic and not tried it myself, or is lunatic actually easier than normal?
SWR/Hisoutensoku - Is there a broken character like Patchy was in IaMP? I'd like to get a lunatic clear on these, but I don't really want to need too much effort for it. I have no experience with these games and no desire to get good at them (I hate the gameplay), but I'm fairly decent at IaMP, so I figure the similarities carrying over will make me at least good enough for Lunatic, if not actual matches.
-
I don't know much about those two games but for GFW my experience is that the A routes are the easiest and the B routes the hardest. That is of course different from person to person. Some find C routes to be hardest and given that i've been to lazy to 1cc any Lunatic outside of the A routes I can't really know.
If you just want to 1cc the game though, A1 should be fine. Oh and Lunatic is not easier than Normal i can beat Normal mode without using Ice on the spellcards if i tried that on Lunatic i would be committed to a mental hospital. Just not gonna happen. Its harder 'kay`?

For SWR exclusively, Aya is the broken easy 1cc character. For UNL though, none of the story mode characters are really broken, but Meiling's is definitely the most fun.

Yeah because if you play with Aya you won't get drop kicked by her. :V

I seem to have developed a tendency to do surprisingly well at the oddest things after continuing.
While going through PCB on Lunatic to unlock the stages for ReimuB, I captured all four of Youmu's boss cards (i actually yelled "what the hell?!" out loud after capturing Hell God Sword). I already mentioned this from a previous post. Then...
While showing someone how hard Lunatic is, I ran IN on Lunatic. Somehow managed to cpature Asteroid Belt.
While going through Lunatic on ReimuB so I can unlock the stage for practice and fun, I manage to cpature all four of Sakuya's stage 5 cards. Yes, that inlcudes Killing Doll. (Although the other three are easy anyways)
-
I tried some MoF no horizontal (easy) and did ok (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12237).
ReimuC is also viable, due to shotgunning damage she won't have to bomb twice on some attacks here ReimuA is forced to. But stages become much more of a chore.
My best in practice on Kanako's Mountain of Faith is 6 mistakes. I'm sure better is possible and clearing the game shouldn't be too difficult for a skilled player.

Indeed. MoF Easy ReimuA, no horizontal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12240)

Just got a ND3B run of IN extra on a complete whim. Bombs were on Ihakasa's Moon Curse, the sixth non-spell, and the rings of doom. Oh, and I failed Imperishable Shooting, but whatev'. Not bad considering I was in an Etrian Odyssey-induced stupor the past month.

Yay! My first extra stage clear.
Had abit of an awkward moment there on Iwakasa's moon curse.
Errm... Xu Fu's dimension don't ask... :blush:
Massively hilarious failfest ensues at Fujiyama Volcano,
due to being stressed out about that i ended up starting Possessed by Phoenix at the top of the screen instead of the bottom, it was kinda awkward.
Feel free to tell me why i suck. :V
Had much better overall run before that when i reached Hourai Doll with 4 lives but after bombing once i failed at "synching up" and lost all 4 lives there T_T

First of all, hello everyone, since this is my first post after years of lurking :-) Second, I've finally 1CC'd SA hard! Took me much more time than the previous games, especially due to massive suckage in stage 5, but I finally made it! Went into the Utusho fight with 8 lives and 4 power, ended with 1 life. So far all my first 1CC's are like that, amass loads of lives up until the final boss fight (managed to only die once this time, having taken bombspamming to levels I hadn't dreamt of) and then blow at least half of them on the final spellcard. Still, a 1CC is a 1CC and I'm massively satisfied at it :-) What would be a logical next step, UFO hard or some earlier game (IN?) on lunatic?

The easiest 1cc would be LLS lunatic, as it's basically hard difficulty on other games.
Welcome to the forums by the way. ;)

Hello, everyone!!
After two months of training I am finally managed to achieve my first Lunatic victories in Touhou 01, without using continues.

You know, so far I've noticed that Gengetsu and now Stage 5 Yuka have no hitbox. I wonder if this is a trend throughout the game and that none of the bosses have a hitbox.
...and how many attacks you can safespot by sitting on top of the boss. :V
EDIT:
Just did a NDNB Timeout of Gengetu Rape Time.

I sure hope you recorded that! Also, I'd love to see you capture VoWG... While shotgunning Kanako.

Well, stage 5 Yuka doesn't damage you via collision because she's too tired to fight back, and Gengetsu is more flattered than angry that you get so close to her. ;) I do think that's worth testing though.

What chirpy said. You recorded it, right? And you're going to speed it up to 60 FPS to make it look like you did it at full speed, right?
RIGHT? +_+
-
Yeah I did record it. I have no idea what to do with it though. :V
Also, while I'm at it, I might as well include captures of all the other timeout phases as well.

Gaaaah. Two 1DNB runs of Kanako in two days. First time I got hit on the last dodge needed to capture Source of Rains, this time just now I failed VoWG. :( I really, REALLY don't want to go through the pain of actively trying to perfect this stage. :<
That is totally the reasoning behind this:

So before today I was 13/16 and 12/13 on Satori (Nitori)'s first and last card on Normal, while being 0/16 and 1/14 on her 2nd and 3rd.
One run later I'm 13/17 and 12/14 on the first and last, and 1/17 and 2/15 on the 2nd and 3rd?

So, I tried out this week's special challenge to chill out from having written 10000 words in 3 days.
And I somehow 1cc'd IN easy with Youmu solo, no focus.
This was my first time playing IN easy, mind you.
So my first 1cc in IN and also my first no focus 1cc.

Suwapyon Extra 1cc. Turns out that grazing actually is very important. :derp:
-
I guess this isn't really me, but when I was fighting Sakuya on Normal during her last spellcard, there was a knife coming right towards me that I didn't see. When she stopped time again I saw it and realised I probably wouldn't have any time to dodge it, although during the stop-time phase she turned it so it pointed away from me. XD I found that pretty funny.
On to actual accomplishments, I recently beat up to Sakuya in Hard. To some people that sounds like a major fail, but I was really surprised and happy.

IN lunatic 1cc! (border team, default lives)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12349
-
IN Extra cleared with something that isn't (part of) the border team. Netherworld team, to be specific.
Captured only 4 cards because I derped on a lot of things (I managed to fail Fire Bird Flying Phoenix so badly, it's not even funny). Did manage to cap Hourai Doll though - so much easier than trying to do this with border team.
-
Because Netherworld Team doesn't suck (jk)
To be honest, I haven't used the Border Team in so long, so I bet it'd take some transition to get used to again.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12349
Your first? I watched it and i'm quite impressed by some parts. You can of course still do with some work but it wasn't bad. You missed a lot of PoC opportunities on Stage 6 which caused a considerable loss of score. Also, you tend to stay focused after an attack ends. That means you go to 100% Youkai and your points won't be worth as much when you pick them up. Remember to go unfocused to go 100% human and get more points.
-
Fought Satori for the first time in a while. Died on DBDB and FIN as expected, but I approached BoWaP the same way I normally do in survival runs (something I hadn't done in an even longer time) and captured it exactly as I was supposed to. How I love being able to trust my memory. :V

Not with MarisaA's hitbox and bomb I'm not. :V
-
We all have the same "handicap" broski, that's kinda the point of it being a challenge :ohdear:
Point stands you're still one of the best SA players here, so you should play it anyway.
Also wtf is with people complaining about Marisa's hitbox in SA, it's pretty much negligibly larger. There's a much bigger difference between Reimu and Sanae's in UFO, and that's practically ignorable half the time, even on micrododging attacks. And Marisa's in that is even larger still. I actually don't even notice the difference between Reimu and Marisa in SA (even their graze box is almost identical). Perhaps people should be less keen to go inside bullets and skirt the hitbox boundries? Not even Satori's non-cards force you to do anything horribly unsafe.
Also 8 bombs
8
And they recover faster
Use them to save your ass instead of cheesing through spellcards, pansies >:I
</rant>
-
SA Malice's doll laser always wears off earlier than what I expected, for some reason.
Also, PCB Hard MarisaA 1cc. Somehow managed to get like 906m score, which isn't bad I guess considering that I wasn't really deliberately scorerunning. Managed to get a border right after collecting the items from mid-boss Youmu :D (I think that's like 100k CherryMax right there)
-
Huh. I just watched Phar's perfect Remilia fight out of boredom, and I noticed something from what he did on Scarlet Meister. After testing it, I feel safe in saying I have now learned the best way to deal with this beast of a spell card. Of course, that doesn't mean I captured it or anything. Let's not go nuts. :P
-
Use them to get massive graze instead of cheesing through spellcards, pansies >:I
fix'd
-
Admittedly I should be using MarisaA's bombs more than I am. Fiiiine, I'll give it another shot. Don't know how far I'll take it, 'cause I still find ReimuA more fun to use.
-
Gave SA Hard a random try, made it to Orin's midboss spell. Not terrible I guess considering I failed on stage 4 last time I tried (about a month ago?). SA is still hard though =p.
-
PoFV hard 1cc'd with Eiki.
On Match 8 (vs Komachi), after quickly going down to 1/2 life because of stupidity, somehow I managed to hold on all the way through the match until Komachi's life is zeroed.
-
Also wtf is with people complaining about Marisa's hitbox in SA, it's pretty much negligibly larger.
Idk, all i know is that it makes loleasy stuff impossible to pass for some reason and it makes me crazy! And in UFO i can hardly feel a difference. Sure Reimubox will allow me to make some very wtf dodges but the game is still much less about micrododging than SA is.
-
Don't know if this is really an achievement, but I decided to cheat my way through RoHL Lunatic for the lulz and ended up with a rather amusing 41-death clear. Knowing that lives no longer matter really helps to soften the rage when Suika suddenly grows to cover 90% of the screen :V
-
SWR Hard 1cc with Reimu! It was pretty funny, because I never died all the way up to Tenshi's last spell, Scarlet Weather Rapture. Lost 2 lives on it, and almost a third. That last phase is ridiculous!
Welp, lunatic next, which would make my second lunatic 1cc of that game and in grand total of all of the games. I can't wait! :D
-
I'm sure I mentioned this a couple of times, but I (usually) really suck at SA. However, with Reimu A, I managed to get to Stage 4 twice! Once when I was seeing how far I can get yesterday and just a few minutes ago. I was impressed I can actually get to Satori, but I lost my last life at BoWaP =(
*My idiot self decided it was a good idea to run into a laser while I was grazing it.*
-
Finally made it to Yuyuko on hard, and might have made it farther than ghost knives if I hadn't messed up the Prismriver fight (accidentally fought Lyrica instead of Lunasa in part 2 and died twice to her card). Amazingly, only died once (I think) to Youmu after running out of bombs on her last card.
But did I really then have to die to Ageless Obsession? *sigh*

I usually do the last phase part with Omnidirectional Demon Binding Circle. It's quick and safe and easy.
Finally beat th12 extra with Reimu B and Sanae A. The only one left is Marisa B, which is quite..... unmotivating(if there is such a word).

How would you rank the characters from easiest to hardest for the extra? It's one of the ones I still need, but UFO just destroys me, so I'd rather just do it once with a good shot type. I have SanaeA cleared right now, but a friend's told me she's a terrible shot, so I'm not sure.
EDIT: Captured PCB of Sumizone for the first time =3. Only on Normal mode, but it's one of those ones that always has bullets catching me offguard and messing up my captures.
-
Fairy Wars Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12390)
Just SA and UFO left and I'll have all of the windows Extras done~
-
Just cleared Normal with only one continue! *fistpump*
After that I played a bit more though, and did horribly. I guess that's what happens; you accomplish something, get too confident, let your guard down and fail epically.
-

SanaeA is competent for most bosses, given that you can be away from the boss at times and still deal rather good homing damage. Particularly in Green and Rainbow UFOs, where you might not be directly under Nue (and Guerrilla Typhoooooon) . Her bomb lasts awhile and gives full speed movement, and also is a full screen clear and the invulnerability ends right when the bomb stops so it's good for LFO and Nue.
Terrible shots include Marisa B. And MarisaB. But ideally you play the game first with MarisaB, fail, then switch to a not-terrible shot and win on your first try.
Ranking wise~
From easiest to hardest
SanaeB for being able to blow up UFOs almost immediately.
ReimuA for brute force
MarisaA for lasers and being second strongest
Note that the above three are very close to each other in rank.
Then, SanaeA is slightly harder.
ReimuB isn't as horrible as people say she is, but she's not gonna kill quickly (notably, her bomb can deal damage after your invulnerability ends, so it does damage to Nue!)
MarisaB can get shotgun damage during Surprising Slash and Undefined Darkness, maybe, but she's probably dead last.

Alrighty, I might try to play through with SanaeB sometime then. That or just go with A, since I barely made it through the time that I did (last life no bombs). I swear, UFO is at least twice as hard as the rest of the series - that or I'm just bad at it.
-
SanaeB makes the Red and Blue UFO cards so easy it's not even funny, and the stage portions do get easier. However, ReimuA and MarisaA do have more damage output which will help with pure dodging cards like Undefined Darkness and Grudge Bow.
I actually think UFO has one of the easier Extra stages, but whatever :V
-
Can someone set me a goal to achieve that is within my skill level.
I've cleared hard on PCB and LLS and done all the extras except for MS, SoEW(don't really play to unlock this one), EoSD, SA and GFW.
-

Dunno, for me UFO always has been difficult, if only because of that stupid survival eating up 5 bombs (=2 lives) every time I play.
It's not that I'm just bomb spamming. At least 2 of them are usually death bombs. The 2 bombs per extend doesn't help either.
I also get carried away with trying to collect shiny UFOs in the stage and die to stupid things :V.

MoF hard (you can try lunatic, but you actually need to get good at VoWG to afford bomb spamming the game),
IN hard (you can probably do this, given enough practice; it's slightly harder than PCB b/c of less lives and no borders, but at least you can use Border Team to trivialize things and have ridiculously long deathbomb),
EoSD/SA Extra (former gives few lives, latter will take some time to get used to; Koishi's cards really messes with your mind),
-
EoSD/SA Extra (former gives few lives, latter will take some time to get used to; Koishi's cards really messes with your mind),
My best runs on those Extra stages both end up with me on the final card.
But I've only gotten that far 1-3 times for both.
Also, UFO Extra isn't that hard if you can find a comfortable route throughout the stage.
Nue herself isn't that hard(aside from Grudge Bow and occasionaly Heiankyou).
My stage run usually ends up with me having 3 lives and maybe 1 bomb(normally none though).
I get an extra life before Kogasa, cap her first spell, die on the second after bombing it(can't do it for shit), cap her third(or bomb it) and don't lose a life till Nue.
I also timeout Green UFOs by going to the opposite side of the screen from Nue so that I can destroy more UFOs and make it easier.
-
I swear to god Red UFOs is the easiest thing in the history of ever. You shouldn't need to use SanaeB to capture it.
Though I have yet to try to play through it with ReimuB at 1.xx power.
-
Normal on what? :V
Ehe now I feel stupid...-facepalm-
EoSD on Reimu A.
-
Finally beat th12 extra with MarisaB !!!
It went quite better than the other runs, being the highest score on extra.
Captured everything except Guerrilla Typhoon, Nightmare of Heiankyou, and The Bow of Someone.
She does have high shotgun output so the UFOs die more quickly than most others.
Ironically th12 is the only game I haven't beaten Hard mode yet.
What should I do now?
-
SA Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12402)
Me playing as a different Reimu shottype? What is this heresy? :V
Actually wasn't as hard as I thought, as I just picked this up this morning. I don't expect to do much more with ReimuB though.
-
I swear to god Red UFOs is the easiest thing in the history of ever. You shouldn't need to use SanaeB to capture it.
Yeah it's fairly easy to begin with, but SanaeB makes it absolutely trivial. :V
Ironically th12 is the only game I haven't beaten Hard mode yet.
What should I do now?
UFO Hard of course!
I also timeout Green UFOs by going to the opposite side of the screen from Nue so that I can destroy more UFOs and make it easier.
The green UFOs are static, so it's just a matter of staying within an area that's safe from the lasers and dodging the rather easy bullets. Just try it.

Perfect Kanako and Utsuho in the same week? Man, that means the only two final bosses left to perfect in Windows are Remilia and Byakuren. And no, that is not going to happen.
-
SA Lunatic 1cc with ReimuC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12411)
Why are all of Reimu's shottypes easier to use than all of Marisa's despite two of the former's being really weak?
Oh yeah, hitboxes. ::)
-
No.
ReimuB can have really high bomb potential a la MarisaB if you can find a high density pattern to use it on. And it lasts a long time~
ReimuC can concentrate ~40% of her firepower in virtually any direction, unlike MarisaA/B who at best cover the entire screen with only like 10% damage output. And that bomb, and that you can go from 4.00 to 3.xx power without losing potential damage against bosses.
-
It's their shots, not necessarily their bombs, that are weak. And let's face it, you can't just go using multiple bombs on absolutely everything, you'll be using only shots at least some of the time. And my comment is focused more towards the boss fights.
-
I guess this deserves a post here.

Lol I didn't notice I had max starting lives.
I didn't think that you could have max lives by stage 3 in any game other than UFO.
Also I tried SA extra again.
Fucking genetics took all my lives for the first time ever.
Normally it leaves me with one so that it can watch me die in vain in Philosophy or Subterranean Rose.
Genetics is the only reason I cant beat SA extra.
I had not died till then(except for one stupid death) :(

Just did an EoSD Meiling run on Normal with no deaths and 2 bombs. Also beat Remilia on practice mode - to bad it wasn't an actual game. :/

Just did a 90 FPS PCB Phantasm. Managed to cap 9 cards somehow... and it's the first try I ever even made it past midboss Ran somewhat decently (I swear Heavenly Possession is BS at 90 FPS). Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=12447)

Finally captured impershable shooting.
I think this card is not THAT hard, but lol diagonal mouvement and timing. It's really easy to fail on it.
