Just had one fucking gigantic bad luck streak on TLC stages 1-2.
Like an hour of play time, I didn't even get to stage 3 =_+

EDIT: A few hours later, had a pretty decent run that made it to Iesua's survival. I would've 1cc'd had it not been for 2 full bomb clips though, on Sky Paradise Orchestra (stage 5 midboss spell) and Immanuel's Bloodline (Iesua second spellcard).
The rage bit is the fact the reason I gameovered on the survival is the fact one of the bullet spawning glow-worm... things literally spawned on me :colonveeplusalpha:

Obviously, the universe doesn't want me to play Riverbed Soul Saver, because my computer SHUT IT'S SELF DOWN while I was playing.

WHY

*Profane profanity and angry anger*

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ON THIS DAY THE CURSE HAS BEEN PARTIALLY LIFTED. FAILED HALF PAST 4 11 TIMES IN A ROW AND FINALLY CAPPED IT XD. Also, broke 5b for once (ended 5.13b, nice break from all the 4.8b I've been getting)

FKillThisAccount · « **Reply #963 on:** September 24, 2015, 04:28:39 AM »

After a long break I saw LoLK's PD mode and thought, I won't have the 1cc anxiety even if I have to retry over and over again so hopped on and furthest I went is Doremy's 1st spellcard. I kept dying and retrying w/o a bomb thinking I can pass through the bullet gaps. Over a hundred times. Then I looked up a Perfect video and saw you just have to spin and spin.

...

Thank God you can start over from the last checkpoint.

If only you 420grazed a little more, you could have had that 1CC.

It gets worse. A bit after that run, I tried again, had one of the best runs throughout Stages 1-4 (Doremy and Sagume went pretty well), Stage 5 was alright, rocky as always, then I get to the Junko boss fight.

No more lives left, timeout, only a few bombs.

Die at 00.05 on the timer. If I didn't die, I would've gotten an extra life and easily beaten the final attack. Why does this happen.

I managed to get a perfect run past Mokou's rings of doom for the second time in recent memory, and I ended up derping stupidly on Hourai Doll for the second straight time. >.< I'm not even that angry about that, aside from the usual "I have to put up with this stage again" stuff, but I still didn't expect my nerves to fail me as spectacularly as they did. I just want to perfect this stage so I can have a reason to never play it again...

This is me and RSS Phantasm right now. My spell card history for Ruri's second spell is 407/418. I'd put the over/under on the total number of attempts I've made at this stage at 3300 and rising.

It doesn't help that I got a one-miss where I died to a very easy nonspell. That was two weeks ago.

This isn't even that hard <__< It's just twitchy and random.

Well, I think I just lost 250-300m on the stage 6 enemies ;-;
1st wave had 2 of them at complete opposite sides of the screen then died 3rd wave. End score was 5.19b so I think I would've just missed out on a slight improvement on my PB. Funnily enough, I didn't notice I was on a good run until the end of stage 5 when I thought "Wait, my score is 3b already???" (2nd time I've managed that). Could've been a PB if I hadn't messed up Reisen; deathbombed Illusion Seeker since I barely got clipped then the last nonspell refused to let me turn the stream. I tried 3 times before running out of space. All that meant only 4 bombs for her final, could've easily been 6...On the bright side, I think I found a visual cue for a cancel on stage 4 that would get me a few hundred time points or so more.

There must be something wrong with me if I can't do well in EoSD Lunatic, and yet can 1cc UFO Lunatic three times in a row on the first credit. -_-

I should probably just ignore the former. I'm not having much fun with it.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #972 on:** October 06, 2015, 04:15:09 AM »

Yeah, EoSD is a pretty different beast compared to all the other Windows games. I don't know how much time you've spent on EoSD so far, but if you really don't find the game fun, you're probably better off moving on from it. I went through the same thing with EoSD years ago, so I know where you're coming from when you say it's not fun for you, but obviously it's still your decision.

Nolegs the Cat · « **Reply #973 on:** October 06, 2015, 04:18:06 AM »

I personally enjoy EoSD Lunatic a lot, and I've practiced it a fuckton to the point I'm definitely capable of 1ccing it... shrug

Honestly though you shouldn't grind any of the games if it isn't fun. Just use stage practice and play what you enjoy :3

I've gotten quite close to 1ccing it a couple times, but I've spent a lot of attempts a couple hours ago screwing up and not even reaching Stage 3. It might just be an off day, but it was pretty demotivating.

It's not one of my favorites, but I do like some patterns here. I might still go for it, but damn, some of the RNG in this game is irritating. :/

Pakken11 · « **Reply #975 on:** October 08, 2015, 10:34:10 AM »

Dunno, I find EoSD brain-dead easy up to and including Meiling even on Lunatic, compared to say SA or UFO - or even IN for that matter.

Stage 4 and onward, however, especially Patchouli and Remilia (who has at least 3 ridiculous cards that are set - Patchy at least you can choose between 4 different sets), are pretty up there in difficulty even compared to stuff like Seija and Orin.

So I dunno why you're having issues with the early stages ._.;;

Sakurei · « **Reply #976 on:** October 08, 2015, 10:37:54 AM »

Different people, different strengths and weaknesses. I don't know what exactly ZM dies to normally, but it might just be something what requires him to do things he's bad at. I know that I couldn't 1cc EoSD anymore if I tried because I put all my skillpoints in precision/character control and memorization abilities and let my reading/dodging tree rot.

Albeit it is odd that he can do UFO, but not EoSD. I assume it's due to the large amount of difference in playtime between the game.

Pretty much. Everything in UFO just feels so natural for me, while EoSD's randomness bugs the hell out of me at times.

So. IN Alice Solo. I'm assuming you have to be able to time-out half the stuff in the game to be able to do it? Even the stages feel like semi-pacifist >A>

CIDFBGIUMZKMRDG THE MOON AND REISEN FINALLY TURNED ME INSANE HELP

(explanation: On the first 2 fairies on 6B, I normally position myself by having Yuyuko's right familiar circle the M on "BGM". Today I had it circle the B and I didn't know why I died there until I looked at it in a replay...)

EDIT: I've lost the ability to count to 3. Tried to use the scoring method for Kaguya's 4th last spell on her 3rd last spell. That ended swiftly and embarrassingly.

Thanks for making me laugh so hard that... Well, I'll just say I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time! But yeah, I'm sure we've all had epic derp moments like that before (including me).

Don't worry about it. It happened to me too and I know other people that did that. It's not a common mistake, but a lot of IN players seem to have done it before.

Uruwi · « **Reply #986 on:** October 24, 2015, 04:49:59 PM »

JynXdammit, why is ExLumen so hard? I can capture the first card only 20% of the time and I doubt that it's even static. I've been practicing for an hour and didn't reach Saragimaru at all.

Raikaria · « **Reply #987 on:** October 25, 2015, 09:34:01 PM »

Finally got to play TH15 for more than a breif period.

Wow. It's hard. Like; really hard. I can't even beat Stage 2 normal. There's no other touhou game where I cannot even make late Stage 4 in normal.

Then I went into Pointdevice. My god Stage 3 is harder than some Stage 5's.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #988 on:** October 27, 2015, 02:32:05 AM »

I've forgotten just how uncomfortable it is fighting Seiga. She might be the only part of TD that's any harder than Stage 3, and she's proving to be my biggest roadblock to any sort of no-bomb/miss run. Damn jellybean bullets ruin everything. >.<

Pakken11 · « **Reply #989 on:** October 30, 2015, 04:30:06 PM »

Solo Alice turns Keine into Keine-EX lol

Seriously, when First Pyramid respawns rofl - not to mention her first Boss Non =0=
(Funny thing is, just as I was thinking that during the run, I captured it :getdown: )

I still failed the run, cause I went Final B since I had 2 lives in stock (& 1,100 left) and didn't know how to do triple fairies with Ms. Nanotube Laser.

Much better run than last time, though - less bombing, more dodging ~~and dying~~ - so maybe there's hope, idk :fail:
