New request: Yumemi's Shinki-esque wall spam during her boss attack.Going to try today. I do believe you want to know the best method of dealing with the pattern when (boss) Yumemi is close to the bottom of the screen when doing this? There's also only one attack that I can think of that fits your description.
PoDD game theory! I do believe I found a way to guarantee an auto-hit on the AI. Even at Lunatic. Testing...
And yeah, I mean when she fires the attack like Shinki's opener, except more BS.In short:
Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap.
I DID IT! EoSD Lunatic, Defualt lives cleared! Done with Reimu A!
Went into stage 6 with 5/0, left with 2/2. This confirms my theory that I needed two full lives and no more to clear Remelia. I am uploading the replay for this, just so people can watch the replay of stage 4. That was ridiculous there.
Also, notable captures include Thousand Needle Mountain and Vampire Illusion. It didn't wall me, which was incredibly lucky.
YES! FINALLY! Now on to the next one!
Edit: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3782 I need to figure out how to change that so it looks cool instead of just being an obvious link.

Since it's the final level, the game doesn't give you extra lives from points gained after the boss' defeat. If you look at my score and my end bonus, you'll see my score was about 35 million upon Remliia's defeat.
I died with bombs in stock a couple times, but one thing was special: I beat stage 5 Yuka's final phase...kinda. See, I never bombed it, but a bomb I used for safety on Master Spark knocked out the first wave wall and I easily captured it from there. It sorta counts. :OWell, you beat me to it. And here, I had just found the spot I should be dodging from.
Also, confirming that stage 6 Yuka's final phase is static.For some reason, I don't seem to find this being the case. If it is however, then it would make things a hell of a lot easier for me. I might make several runs and see if the pattern "flowers" the same way each time. That'll take a few hours of straight playing though.
Well, I guess I no longer can consider PoDD Lunatic as genuinely impossible for a human to beat.You know TranceHime did it before Donut right?
I REPEAT.
PC-98 ALL CLEAR
Just finished PCB on Easy! Was the last game to be finished on easy for me :)Go to normal now I believe in you. ;D
Got to Stage 5 SA Hard. Farthest I've ever gotten, woohoo~
I died to the ridiculously easy streaming part a bit after midboss Orin, though.
Spring Kyoto - Not sure, again. This could be static. The circle shape is static, but I'm not sure about the direction they go off in. It seems pretty much the same every time.

Not quite. I believe the card is actually aimed, but that the tight dodging causes you to tend toward the same movements every time, making a faux-static pattern.
How do you survive the "Balls of Death" (3rd Phase)? I clip even using the other two shot types, and it takes far too long to get through because you need to be on the side for about 70% of the time.Found it out myself. Uploading~

Survived with the Spread Type. Now an awesome challenge for me is to survive without double-tap nonsense.
In all aspects of the game, I think Reimu B is the best one.Fair enough.
I felt like crying after watching that. It's been over a year since I did that same feat, but the scars still remain...Yes, I'm one of the horrible people who use Unregistered HyperCam 2. It does the job fine for me, and I really can't be bothered changing. Anyway:

Cleared EoSD Extra with ReimuA.
This was my goal when I started playing Touhou, which explains why I've spent so much time on EoSD, while I still haven't tried MoF Normal.

Congrats! EoSD Extra was my goal too when I started... I remember it taking me the best part of a month of solid practice. Pretty impressive beating it with Reimu A too, I don't think I've managed that yet. Out of interest, why'd you go with that shot type rather than something higher power like Reimu B or Marisa A?
Finally cleared PCB Extra. Next is Phantasm and EoSD Extra. For some reason I find the Extra stages much easier than 1CCing on Normal >_>

Really? I could capture it if I could dodge clockwise. It's much harder for me than going counter-clockwise for some reason. I can dodge the first wave quite often. Much easier than trying to micrododge the waves IMO.
As for Catadioptric, I tried middle, right corner, up a bit, stay right, then back to middle. Repeat. I failed because I didn't manage to go back in the middle and got stuck on the right wall.
If we're talking about EoSD Extra, what about Starbow Break? I don't know what to do with this spellcard. The bullets accelerate at random, and sometimes the gaps are really small.
And I'm NOT using the safespot. I want my capture to be fair (although I don't think you can do enough damage to capture it anyway).
Fuck year, new world record (MoF Extra ReimuA).

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Just beat MoF on Normal for the first time! \o/
That safespot is unsafe and you have to wait a long time even if you reach it for the card to time out.
However, I can help you by telling you why that safespot exists. From what I've heard (from people more competent than me), the bullet's horizontal coordinates never change. Meaning, bullets spawn on a certain line every time. At the top left of the screen is a very small area where none of these bullets ever either rise to or are on that horizontal plane. This means that while the bullets falling are random, there are similar openings. Learn where those are and trust your hitbox.
same goes for Utusho's third card, BoLaD etc. They're pretty fun cards and the point of the game is to dodge bullets after all... doesn't seem a lot of point playing if you're just going to hide. :VThere's a difference. Starbow Break's safespot is pretty easy to get and is just a kill of the entire card (top left of the screen, underneath the 'n' in enemy). The safespots for BoLaD as well as Eternal Meek are so ridiculously hard to achieve that there's not much point in trying to get them anyways. Fixed Star, on the other hand, is not really a safespot. Most of the time, you're going through the spot anyways and either way you still have to dodge the other bullets. It's not so much of a safespot as a makes-things-not-hell-spot.

Reading through coa's various comments, it is advisable to not lose any faith (yes, even 10 or 100) during the stage.
Also, something about the two survival Spell Cards "Red Frog" and "Suwa War". He seems to complain about an "imperfect" bullet clear bonus (i.e. Faith-related) for "Suwa War" or something to that effect. I suck at translating sentences. Somebody else can try:Quote from: coa開幕が若干安かったり、少し赤蛙の誘導ミスったりと細かい所は色々ありますが、ほぼベストと言っていい内容で繋がってくれました。

coa's competitive as heck, so this is not really surprising. He was pretty quick about it this time, though. For Extra, losing some 10-100 faith or even points during the stage isn't really that important (though it's obviously better not to), it's mostly not ending a card/non-card at just the right moment andCounting that you have an extra 100 Faith from the start of Mid-Boss Kanako (you lost a bit before this if I recall); you could easily add about 100-150k to your score. I emphasized on 10 a bit too much I would think. The exact value I haven't been bothered to calculate yet, but it should be somewhere around there./orwith Suwako at exactly the right spot that can be lethal to your score. My run was pretty sub-optimal in that respect. coa says in his comment he often has a hard time during froggy braves the elements and suwa war. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one; I lost count of how often a near-perfect run was ended by either of those. :V
XD I'm 1/7 on easy and 2/2 on normal.Am I the only one who thinks Mountain of Faith normal is easier then Mountain of Faith Easy?
I'm talking about the spell card.
I'm 1/1 on Normal and around 0/5 on Easy. The best I've managed to do is 2 bombs.
Counting that you have an extra 100 Faith from the start of Mid-Boss Kanako (you lost a bit before this if I recall); you could easily add about 100-150k to your score. I emphasized on 10 a bit too much I would think. The exact value I haven't been bothered to calculate yet, but it should be somewhere around there.
Is it just me, or is Reimu C by far the most impractical and/or useless shot type in SA?
Thing is, the faith you get from clearing Kanako's opener and her 1st (this one especially) and 3rd spells deviates in the hundreds, depending on luck. So in comparison, a loss (gain) of 100 faith during the stage isn't that significant anymore, because if you're lucky (unlucky), that faith is completely compensated (lost) in this phase anyway. And during Suwako, the deviations are even far greater.The difference of 100 (several times over it seems) is significant, as seen with this progression from your (current) replay and coa's:
- His stage run is nigh flawless. I don't think I've ever had that much faith/points at the start of the boss.-Nigh-flawless Stage run indeed. He seems to wait a bit (longer) before deathbombing the two fairy "trio"'s. That should add about 100 Faith each time. You can see where I'm going with the small numbers.
- He never seems to wait for Suwako to move to the center in the zig-zag non-cards, even though this seems like a pretty important faith source to me.
- He takes his time at Rings of Death (or whatever it's called). I'm still unsure on which ring it is most ideal to clear it, but waiting never seemed to give a significant faith advantage to me.
- He missed Suwako for a bit at the card with the homing green bullets (probably lost around 100k in points).
- He missed Suwako a lot during Froggy Braves the Elements. I'd estimate this cost him around 300k in points.
- The faith-loss at Red Frog he talked about seems fairly insignificant to me.
- At Suwa War, he has about 150k more than I had, despite starting Suwako with 300k more than me and having more faith throughout the battle.
The difference of 100 (several times over it seems) is significant, as seen with this progression from your (current) replay and coa's:
415660;417320;424160;431500;436000
415800;417560;424360;431750;436560
The gap slowly widens (i.e. he got better clear bonuses than you); with the final large jump being Kanako's 3rd Spell Card. I'm not sure whether that would be just luck, or there's something extra within, seeing that the "spiral" appears to be random on Kanako's 3rd Spell Card.
And off-topic rant while I'm here: Am I the only one who finds that IN has some of the stupidest and most unenjoyable spellcards/attacks ever? Like, almost half of my least favorite Touhou moments can probably be found in this game. Namely: Hourai Jewel, Imperishable Shooting, Profound Field, Hourai Elixer, Fantasy Heaven, Blink, several of Eirin's cards, and a few nonspells (namely, Mystia's last, Eirin's second, and Marisa's second). Fortunately I can forgive it because a.) Most of them are bonus attacks, and thus I don't have to see them unless I really want to and b.) aside from these horrible parts, the rest of the game is awesome.Hourai Jewel sucks. Like, it really sucks. REALLY REALLY SUCKS, and is quite easily my least-favourite card in the series (though Source of Rains is doing its best to compete with it). Basically it seems a lot of the patterns in IN seem to be a lot more dependent on the concept of having seen them before, sometimes up to even fairly ridiculous micromemorization (see: Keine, Hourai Jewel, etc), except for the early half of the Kaguya battle which just sucks. Horribly.
Just a note, has anyone noticed Veronica's Youtube account closed?Yeah, she said she was doing that. Not sure if she wants any public mention of why, though.
I liken Sariel and Konngara to extra and final bosses respectively. Konngara takes a lot of legitimate skill to defeat, while Sariel, while still hard, can be memorized and made much easier.Well, I'll never (truly) know until I go for Lunatic~. Sariel's difficulty does vary greatly by how often she shifts attack phases though.
Is it just me, or is Reimu C by far the most impractical and/or useless shot type in SA? I've been going through Satori's cards in Hard mode and though none of the others seem really as good all around as Reimu A, they all seem to have at least some situations where they do really well - Reimu B has pretty powerful homing, Marisa A has high shotgunning power, Marisa B is good on those spellcards where you have to manoeuvre around bosses as well as being pretty good on stages, Marisa C takes down bosses pretty fast and has the safety bomb thing... but aside from having a pretty decent bomb, I can't find any redeeming feature about Reimu C. The speed boost gets me killed more often than it actually helps and having to reposition your options every time you unfocus gets annoying really fast.Yes, you're missing that the bolded is inaccurate. ReimuC has sheer power on its side both in its options and bombs; ReimuB/MarisaC have neither. ReimuB is the worst shot type in the game, easily.
Am I missing something here, or is it really that bad?
MarisaC is the second worst shot type because EVERYTHING it can do, ReimuA does better. Oh, and all Marisa shot types are inherently inferior to Reimu ones(minus ReimuB) because Marisa's hitbox is huge.
ReimuB sucks because it's homing with horrible homing. Yeah.
967k something cherry points on a fail training run, I've done something nice.
I still can't figure later half stage 4 though.
[img width=640 height=480]
So yay. The only two stages in EoSD I haven't beaten no deaths are stage 4 and extra now.
I'm curious though, is there a trick to beating the 4 (or was it 3?) semi-super fairies just before sakuya midboss? Seems like every time I try, I get completely walled in somewhere even though I'm not hugging the bottom or anything, and even after killing 2 fairies immediately after spawning. It's just like wtf for me.I usually move to the lower left corner for the three fairy shots before them, and stream those so that when the second wallfairy shows up I'm already right under it. You can take out the fourth one soon thereafter.
YES I 1CC MOF normal. :D

Not touhou, but I decided to re-evaluate SSG Lunatic and played a bit of Practise stage 5.
...I managed to 1-miss no-bomb Erich. I might upload this later, but I'd like to get an NMNB now, I fully believe it's entirely possible, none of his attacks are particularly bullshit except his streaming+laser one wherein the streaming toothpick lasers sometimes will reflect off of the master-spark-esque laser (which, incidentally, is what killed me in the end), and the grid attack of haet. His last attack, incidentally, is one of the most fun attacks ever and it's a pity it only lasts a couple seconds.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESGo with In it's easier. :D
1cc PCB Normal!
After almost a week without playing anything, I did it on my first try today..
How can one get better without practicing is beyond me hahahaha
I'm really happy.
Now i'll try either IN or SA =D
To trivialize that attack, just misdirect the spark slightly to one side, stay close to it, and dodge the toothpicks by tapping away from the laser, toward it, and away again. Works every time. But yeah, Erich's not that bad of a boss (at least compared to the monsters that come before and after him), and his first/last attacks are indeed genius.His first attack is also entirely too much fun. Screen movement+fast bullets = yes. Also thanks, that does trivialize it. Now it's just a matter of getting a good run in.
Oh, and on the subject of SSG, I was toying around with the Graphics options earlier and found a configuration that ended up eliminating about 90% of the input lag I had in the game, which makes me ridiculously happy. No more retarded clipdeaths to Vivit and Marisa... feels good man.How? I for one also hate clipdeaths on Marisa. Also deaths due to starting movement a millisecond too late due to input lag.

Oh yeah who did you 1CC it with?
@Azinth: any advice on dodging second-form VIVIT's screen-sweep vertical laser mesh attack? Very thankfully she only uses it once, so a bomb the moment you see the laser lines being drawn will work, but is there any way to like. Cap the damn thing at all?
(Psst, or you could just shotgun her as she sweeps across the screen and the phase will end before the attack even gets going)Derp. Forgot just how abuseable shotgun is in this game >_>
And btw, did that input trick work for you? I'm actually sort of curious as to whether or not it works for others or if I'm the only one.I can't run the game at >30fps, renders too slowly for me. Switching to 8-bit did, somehow noticeably fix input lag though. wtf.
Hmm? Which run? I don't recall any awesome MoF stage 6 replays I've done... I've pulled off a few no deaths runs of Kanako, but that's pretty much it.
grazewhoring the beginning to get another life WASN'T the right move....wait, it's not?
MAN that felt good. I beat Aya no deaths (though that's not a big deal with bomb spam, but bomb spam was only used on Peerless Wind God), captured Momizi twice in two consecutive runs, and demonstrated how random Aya's third non-card is by doing a no movement clear of it. :V I died once on the BS waves though, so it's not a no deaths run (just because I've DONE them once the whole way through doesn't mean it's not luck-based. :<).Capping Momizi twice in two consecutive runs is still impressive as all hell.

Yesssssssssss! I finally captured Peta Flare! I admit, it's pretty fun as long as blue bullets don't come ramming you out of nowhere.The blue bullets are (usually) concealed behind the flares, but can be predicted easily.
I also timed out Subterranean Sun for the first time, just to see what the pull is like...it's unreal.
Capping Momizi twice in two consecutive runs is still impressive as all hell.Agreed on that. I also think Sanae is the second easiest second last boss in the series though (only second to reisen).
I honestly think that pattern is the hardest thing in MoF, much harder than anything Sanae or Kanako will ever throw at you.
Stop dodging in a random direction and dodge in the direction you're supposed to.
-Theory that "VoWG" can be micro-memorized, but to do that for the entire duration is somewhat ridiculous.No. There is a degree of randomness in how each wave is generated.
"Instantaneous parsing" would've been a better term for what I was trying to describe now that I think about it.

Micromem'ing it is silly anyway, just learn to parse the waves just before they're flung at you and you'll have no problem capping it most of the time.
Huzzah, got a Perfect ReimuB Patchy battle. Though the fact that I died to the preboss fairy waves might have helped just a tiny bit. Out of curiosity, how long does it take to get to max rank if you don't bomb or die at all? Even with that death, Mercury Poison and Emerald Megalith were both moving pretty damn fast by the time I got to them.
Finally pulled off a no deaths Patchy battle.

Eh, PCB stage 3 is sort of overrated in difficulty to be honest. A lot of the patterns in the stage are static, and can be made significantly easier by memorization/practice. The biggest things you have to watch out for are the latter half of the stage, Alice's boss opener, and Benevolent Orleans Dolls, and even those get much easier with experience. Don't sell yourself short; if you can perfect stage 5 then you certainly have what it takes to do stage 3. ;)Erm, not really. Yes, it's *true* the only things you have to watch out for are the part of the stage between Alice second midboss and Alice boss, Alice's boss opener, and Benevolent, but Alice's boss opener is extremely hard, Benevolent is bullshit, and the second half of the stage, between Alice second midboss and Alice boss is a shitstorm clusterfuck of pure bullshit. I have 2 runs that are perfect Alice battles but still haven't perfected this stage just because of that portion, which I think I survive without dying/bombing/breaking a border about once every 20 runs. Seriously.
Everyone says IN is the easiest, but I always run out of time on the 5th/6th stages and game over :-\

Yes, it's *true* the only things you have to watch out for are the part of the stage between Alice second midboss and Alice boss, Alice's boss opener, and Benevolent, but Alice's boss opener is extremely hard, Benevolent is bullshit, and the second half of the stage, between Alice second midboss and Alice boss is a shitstorm clusterfuck of pure bullshit. I have 2 runs that are perfect Alice battles but still haven't perfected this stage just because of that portion, which I think I survive without dying/bombing/breaking a border about once every 20 runs. Seriously.
I beat IN with Team Reimu on easy yesterday!It only counts if you 1CC clear it. :O
(had to use a continue but whatever)
Two down.... alot more to go :V
oh hey guess what you can actually sit at the bottom center and have all the lasers miss you how about that
But that's only 15 runs. I figured it out the first time I got to the stage, but hell, my cap rate is 198/288 for some strange reason.
It's piss easy, man :(

Sorry, but the only time that's allowed to happen is after you beat the stage no deaths. Because only a madmen would aim for a perfect run of this stage.

A failed PCB Reimu A no-focus 1cc attempt. Despite failing at Resurrection Butterfly for reasons that could be easily prevented (next time I try this, I'm not hesitating for a moment to bomb Ghost Knives), I'm still happy with the result, getting some awesome highlights. Particularly, I get a few good moments against the Prismrivers, capping both of Lunasa's opening noncards, and their final card. I also apparently learned how to do the Deadly Dance. And to give me an epic heart-pumping finish, rather than letting me lose my last life on Sumizome, the kind goddess Suwako smiled upon me, and I somehow deathbordered a bullet by dying, then triggering a border within the deathbomb window. That at least gave me the chance to confront the epic final card. Even if I failed against it, I didn't go down without a damn fight.
At least, you should until you 1cc it on default lives (I play on max lives because I don't like getting a bad ending. :V)what
What's wrong with playing on max lives if you're just playing for fun? Sure default is the only legitimate way, but it's the same thing if you complete LLS/MS with 3 lives in stock. And if you're confused, I have beaten all of my lunatics default lives at least once (and all but SA at least twice).
on that note I have not figured out a practical use for normal Reimu.C shots (other than you aren't moving really slow), any advice?Me neither, actually, since that run was filled as fuck with bombing (Which made my MoF capture even more amazing since I was at a brutal 1.45 power and no lives left).
So I do a MoF lolrun with ReimuC. My thoughts: Nah, probably I'll game over on Nitori.I should do a "0 Spell Card" capture 1cc sometime.
The result? 1cc. The lol part? The only two captured SpellCards were Illusory Dominance and Mountain of Faith. Wat.

Story of Eastern Wind - Extra Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGyUfo3ifZ0)
EX-Cirno is a lot of fun. Too bad I lag for 70% of the fight due to recording + crappy computer! Anyway, the game still runs at full speed when FPS is dropped, so 95% of the time it's a handicap because movement and bullet paths look 'jumpy' and its harder to follow... but a couple of Cirno's attacks get modified because they're drawn based on frame count - not on time like every other damn thing in the game. Of course, any advantage I get is negated by her final spellcard going from 'actually fairly simple' to 'Can't figure out shit what's going on!?'.
Repeating what I commented, I still don't quite see if you've found a simple and reproducible trick to it or not.From the start:

Truth be told, I'm terrible at phantasm. There's so many places I could improve, but this is one spot above all I want to master.
(editing post w/ Phantasm pre-boss.)Screw it new post.
Thanks for those movements, but the real question is how far do I dodge in each of those?
You dodge when you hear the sound of them shooting.
Also, I tried Baity's method for passing the MS extra preboss waves, but it didn't work. I'm certain there's an easier way than that...

I timed out Fujiyama Volcano. Mokou's hardest spellcard. (Imo)That's actually a really neat strategy. I didn't realize that Mokou shot the red bullet rings each time she fired her cluster bombs.

Apollo 13 Lunatic Timeout. I don't know why the hell i decided to time out this horrible spellcard but i did it. Ignore the spellcard history. It took about 20-30 attempts.
Thanks again for telling me how to do the preboss waves for phantasm. Because I just very nearly pulled off a no deaths clear. :O I bombed on the stage only once, for the WTF random part. I proceeded to perfect Yukari until her fifth non-spell where I burst a border, then blew two bombs on BoHaY. >_> I have to say that for all you people trivialize it, if you don't know how to do the loophole BoLaD is REALLY hard. I don't, and so my no deaths run came to an end on the final phase of it. >_< I'm almost tempted to ask how to do the loophole, but I don't want to ruin the card. Still...I was so close...

1- Why did you rename the japanese version instead of the english one? A precaution in case stuff goes wrong?
2- You click on vpatch to start the game (you probably know this, but just in case).
3- Try removing the .exe at the end of your file name and see if it works.
If nothing works, try configuring windows to be in japanese unicode (or non-unicode, I forgot). The patch might not be able to find 東方紅魔郷 because the computer stores it as O&@^"%$! or something.

1cc of PoDD Normal with Kotohime. Yes, the game does pity you the more you lose toYumemisomeone, at least on lower difficulties. She died on try 4 with both bombs in stock.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9DC213FD822F5718Finally done, eh?
Also, thanks for that video Baity. Now I know that that attack is just ridiculous for SoEW and to continue bombing it. :PMethodical, really. Swinging around unfocused (see: MS Extra run for example) is my specialty. Mind you, I personally think I stuck around the "top" of the screen for a bit too long.
No-Vert random capture collection, including Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, a few other last words, and some nasty attacks in lunatic...Ah yes, during that time, we did No-Vert for a lot of things.

With the exception of SoEW (where the danmaku makes the concentrated type suck)? I didn't have a problem, except with lolMima.
At higher difficulties, you start to get walled by not killing certain enemies (well, I found this anyway). Also, I actually found the concentrated type too slow for my tastes.QuoteWith the exception of SoEW (where the danmaku makes the concentrated type suck)? I didn't have a problem, except with lolMima.
My relationship with Marisa just wasn't the same ever since she decided to steal another ability and stole Sakuya's impossible focus speed.That's the thing, though - every character has Sakuya's impossible focus speed.
Also, is it just me, or is Sanae's hitbox magnetically attracted to bullets?No, Hiziri's first spell card is the Embodiment of Violet Clipdeath.
At higher difficulties, you start to get walled by not killing certain enemies (well, I found this anyway).Surely there's enough spread there to let you get by with streaming? I hope... I'm already seeing the implications of enemies dropping deathshots on Lunatic - the end of Stage 3's going to be a nightmare; I run into enemies enough as is.

I heard that everyone's focus speed is the same, and I call BS. Reimu felt much more manageble than the other two. Or is it just her smaller hitbox?(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/untitl37.png) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=256&u=12803292)
ATTENTION ZUN: WHY DO WE NEED DIFFERENT SIZED HITBOXES? Everything was fine until IN. Even PCB had the size difference be negligible, but from IN on it's a liability to everyone else for no reason.

Got to Syou's last card on my second run of UFO. I perfected the stage portion but I only had 3 lives through the whole thing because I got massacred by CAPTAIN MURASA. Syou isn't that hard, but her laser shit will take some getting used to, especially her first nonspell.Sup' Kanako.
EDIT:either it's just me or the replays that player Derp posted on the replay archive are unmarked tool assist. The way he copies the scoring strategy from other replays is pretty hilarious.This (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3951) replay has hints of Tool assistance on it. Of course, I would like more opinions on this myself.
Near-perfect scoring run of MoF stage 6 Lunatic. Only significant mistake is a deathbomb during noncard 3 that causes some of the point items released after capturing Yamato Torus to become power items....It's imperfect as all hell. Apart from the "what" moment of AP3 (which I believe, during a stage practice; most people would either bomb earlier, or die), the strat for scoring is well, outdated. Clearly, he hasn't seen my scoring strat for the stage :V
As a whole, the replays sum up to be inconsistent levels of play.
He didn't have a death fairy in [UFO]!In a sense...~
So here's basically how this run went down:
(...)
What convinced me most in his replay of VoWG no-focus timeout is the bomb he used in the first non spell. In the stage he was taking gigantic risks to keep his score, but bombing that non spell turns much of the point item into power item, which a professional scorer would never do.
...also the beginning of VoWG was just BS.I micromemorized that first wave and can pull that off 90% of the time. (Not sure if 10% error rate is due to randomization or movement throwing off the red wave's aim.)
...the strat for scoring is well, outdated. Clearly, he hasn't seen my scoring strat for the stage :VI've seen your replay, but you use ReimuA and don't collect some point items at max value. Don't think it's possible to get all of the items at max value without bombs.
He's missing another 4 point items on top of his current score.You're talking about the ones that became power items after Yamato Torus, right?
My replays are not tool-assisted; they are the result of 1000+ stage runs and 750 VoWG attempts spread over about 2 months.I'm going to need a screenshot of your Spell Card record.
...also the beginning of VoWG was just BS.
I micromemorized that first wave and can pull that off 90% of the time. (Not sure if 10% error rate is due to randomization or movement throwing off the red wave's aim.)
1. Pick up the items from the previous spell card and get to the bottom center of the screen.I'm willing to believe this to some degree. But why bother doing it, really?
2. Get as close to the center as you can using the E in the enemy marker for reference and focused diagonal movement for extra precision.
3. 3 "walls" of red amulets will come at you. 2 in front that overlap as they reach the bottom of the screen and 1 more spread out behind them.
4. Don't move, and the first 2 waves should narrowly miss you.
5. Tap to the left/right to dodge the third wave.
I've seen your replay, but you use ReimuA and don't collect some point items at max value. Don't think it's possible to get all of the items at max value without bombs.That's because the said run was a No Deaths No Bombs run. Now, If I wanted to use bombs...
You're talking about the ones that became power items after Yamato Torus, right?No, there's 20 there I believe. The other 4 are from the stage portion.
You know, it's weird. I play UFO at 1/2 frame rate, Unzan and anchor slow my game down to 20 FPS whenever they're on the screen, many other attacks slow to 50 FPS, and yet my slowdown only registered as <2%. I'm guessing 1/2 frame rate breaks the counter.The "In-game SC clear time V/S Real SC clear time" counter is also somewhat broken, since it keeps counting when you pause the game.
Kay, so after that epiphany I had last night, I've managed to perfect UFO stage 3 lunatic's stage portion about three or four times now. Really, this stage is just a bunch of streaming and isn't all that bad at all, and I'm kind of embarassed at how long it took me to figure it all out (clearly I haven't been watching Baity's replays enough :V). The worst part about it is Ichirin's first boss card, which admittedly is still a pile of shit. Perfecting it actually seems like a possibility now.
TwoTHREE Words
REPLAY FUCKING WHERE?
-I fucking hate Ichirin's midboss nonspell. Anyone have any tips for it? >_>The general grid pattern is static, just run the stage many times until you can parse the pattern just off of Ichirin's position on the screen and act accordingly.
I micromemorized that first wave and can pull that off 90% of the time. (Not sure if 10% error rate is due to randomization or movement throwing off the red wave's aim.)
I'm willing to believe this to some degree. But why bother doing it, really?Because I can do it consistently, and it shaves off a second or two when trying to cap it. I wouldn't do it during a 1cc attempt, but there's not much to lose during a practice run.
Now I ask you, where / when did you realize that was possible?*I took my hands off my keyboard while VoWG was starting up to stretch them, and when I put them back without looking I put them on the wrong keys(Easily done because I use the pl;' keys for movement).
No, there's 20 there I believe. The other 4 are from the stage portion.You're going to have to point them out for me then, I checked and I can't find them.
What's up with the massive difference in attempts between Mad Dance and Divining Crop? ???Probably because I usually restart if I fail Kanako's opener.
Mad Dance isn't a hard spellcard *at all*, so you shouldn't be dying/restarting to it anywhere near that much... (not an accusation of shenanigans, just curious as to why it's that big).
You're going to have to point them out for me then, I checked and I can't find them.It's not that obvious to find out. Which is why I love keeping it a "secret". Besides, I don't think that you should bother with it since you don't seem to do this on the "professional" level.
First of like 25-30, most of them not saved or overwritten.
669 attempts; 5 were captures but you certainly cannot assume that all 5 captures were at 100%...
Really?
...Actually that'd make sense o.o;
Still, anyone got a vid for UFO Stage 5 Greenlazer capture? I'm sure there's some sorta trick...

Probably the easiest stage part to date, as far as Extra goes. I'd rank Nue herself above Suwako and slightly below Koishi for difficulty. ...Well, with MarisaA and probably ReimuA. I'd imagine characters without the firepower to destroy UFOs would have a much harder time.
Out of curiosity, for all the people who've fought her, exactly how does her lunatic version rank as far as final bosses go? I haven't actually reached her on lunatic yet, but based on replays she actually looks pretty hard. Kind of like Kaguya, it looks like she lacks any kind of rape-tastic 'hardest in the series' attack, but she doesn't seem to really have any trivial attacks either (except maybe her opener/second card).

Is this much of an accomplishment? I heard the Lunatic version is one of the hardest cards in the series, but I capped the one right below it with relative ease (My first Hard clear of PCB, too. 1 continue used.)

An epiphany in progress is that while you cannot stream the triple shot spam fairies, you can stall it out by pseudo-streaming them until an opportunity to circle around the top arrives. This is in progress because I can't seem to get past the part where the enemies will occasionally shoot you down from the top anyway.Destroy them before they get to the top. Alternatively, you need to stall for longer.

Okay, this is just insulting. I haven't done a full game run of SA lunatic ever since I finally pulled off my first 1cc of it through blood sweat and tears (anyone who paid attention on the last forum will remember my little...hate-hate affair with SA). After beating UFO extra, I got that "itch" that crazy raving lunatics sometimes get to do a cold run of a game's lunatic. This itch was for SA, something I never intended to do again until I had a better computer. Well, not only did I 1cc second try (first try was a laugh track of failures on stage 1), it was with less slowdown mysteriously!
But what's insulting is how FUCKING HORRIBLE this run was. Seriously, I clip deathed Parsee's opener, died to her SECOND SPELL CARD in the most retarded way possible, died 2 or 3 times on Yugi's stage (you can tell I wasn't serious about this by the fact that I didn't restart), and I still managed to clear Utsuho with 0 lives. This just feels like a mockery of all the genuine hard work I put into the first 1cc.
It desyncs at Utsuho...
Actually, I've never been able to view a full replay. They all desynch during Utsuho's fight.
And the blue walls of all places! Damn, i think i know how you feel. Seriously, that sucks dude. Capping QED and bombing ATWTBN. That's just a slap to the face.
That must suck. The blue walls are easy though: Just circle around the outside of the screen and there will always be an opening.
As for me, this doesn't really count as an accomplishment, but...I...have a new computer. Anyone who's cared to notice will know the significance of this for me.

Time for you to legitimately 1ccLLS andMS. LLS is easy enough :V
Also, I found a way to bypass the crashing for SA when saving replays (stage practice only).
You know that SA Stage 6 Lunatic TAS I did a while ago with ReimuC? Yeah, I redid the part where I circle around SubSun. Very entertaining until the end where I bomb like twice from stupid errors.
Will be on Youtube sometime eventually. Can't give replay due to desync from other hax involved.
I've already done LLS lunatic legitimately on a school computer. That's actually when I perfected Kurumi and Elly on max rank. :OLLS has rank?

Byakuren's a fun final boss~Gamer masochism at its finest.
FINALLY defeated Koishi(1 bomb 0 lives left :V)
Died in stage once, then no death until Embers of Love(0 power=survival, got walled), then lost one life on Genetics(15 seconds left, RAGE) and entered Subterranean Rose with 3 lives.....lost first one due to backrape(ring was almost gone but the roses still pwnt me since I hugged the bottom) and pretty much purely bombed the last phase.
94 attempts on Sanae's first card, 52 on Koishi's first.....only Flandre was harder so far.
after trying(and failing) to 1cc UFO Normal, i randomly try MoF Normal on Reimu B.You've obviously improved at touhou. =V
now, keep in mind, i have never done any game besides UFO on Normal.
i got to Kanako's last spell and got it down to about half health. on my first try ever.
HOW THE HELL DID I DO THAT?!
No, that's me :V :V :VQuoteByakuren's a fun final boss~Gamer masochism at its finest.
No-Focus SA S4 Lunatic coming up. It's not perfect, but still.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFZO8ZjORNk
I should so totally get a mic and start doing actual commentaries.It is definitely distracting; I'd recommend a difficulty lower than what you have trouble with (i.e. Lunatic. In other words, DON'T DO WHAT I JUST DID).This way, donut can find out my gender oh ho ho ho ho
In all seriousness; microphones... talking while simultaneously trying to focus on dodging bullets is a lot harder than it seems apparently. Yeah, I want to seriously try this out, and see how much I would suffer in the process.
Love your voice (not sure why), and... haven't seen you around in a while :V
...Oh man, oh Christ, oh HOLY SHIT YES HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ahem.
Almost a year ago, I beat EoSD Extra for the first time. Today, I finally beat it flawlessly. :D
EoSD Extra Perfect Clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4459)

WOW. HOLY CRAP AMAZING.
Good job, really. I'm still trying to beat Flandre without dying (got to Q.E.D last try, but died rather quickly). Just beat a few lunatics and you'll have me Parseeing over your skills that are vastly superior to mine.
I was able to 1cc the UFO demo on Easy... Yes, you may laugh at my skill level since 1ccing a DEMO on easy mode is an accomplishment for me...
A timeout of Everlasting Phoenix Tail. An excellent card for practicing UFO patterns.God I hate that pattern... You can't really see the top side of the hitbox of those flaming balls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEyS7zag-9g&feature=channel_page
...O_O I beat Shou with seven lives left. I captured everything except her third, which I managed to only use one deathbomb on, and her final, which I had no mobs left to use on XD I think I can 1cc UFO! So what if it's Easy mode? <.< >.> The Stage 6 should be easy with the number of lives I have left now.I've entered Stage 5 with 8 lives and finished the game with 3 on Normal.....it's like the game is serving you an assload of lives just because it's harder than other touhous.
My first test was LLS extra. The final slowdown was a mere 0.18%. One thing I noticed on all the games I played though is that the games are...smoother. I can't really explain it, it's not as though the bullets are shooting faster or anything, but they...move smoother. It was kinda disorienting, which is why I happened to suck in all the test runs I did on various games. Still...~I understand the feeling.
Anyway, this stage is fucking awesome. Seriously, this is probably the best stage since IN stage 4 powerful. :VReally, because I find it to be worse than MoF stage 4 Lunatic.
Say, is it just me, or is there control lag in MoF at full frame rate...? At 1/2 frame rate (where I had it on my old computer), my movements were completely smooth, but when I set it to full Reimu's movements seem slightly delayed. I'm not sure if this is just an illusion or not, but I'd like to ask if I've just been playing it "weird."I get output lag. Use Vsync regardless of either input or output lag.
Yes, I suppose. After all, I've never seriously tried Lunatic before and know next to nothing about Lunatic Play.the first time i played a Touhou game was 9 months ago. i've never cleared anything on Normal.
The first time I played a Touhou game was 2 months ago. I've only cleared TEoSD on Normal, and PCB and UFO on Easy (Though I did 1cc PoFV Easy before). I need more practice in this, like in everything else, I guess.
dohoho
I've only cleared TEoSD on NormalIt's been six months, and I still can't do this.
YEEEAAAAAH (The books are rage. Always.)
EoSD Normal: Got to Remilia a couple of times... Will I never beat this game!?
Did you people complain about lasers? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4487)
Or were you complaining about these ones? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4488)
Syou's First Spell Card is static by the way. Then again, a fair few are. And some can be memorized so that they're essentially static.
EDIT: 1cc Hard.
So....has anyone managed to legitimately 1cc UFO-Lunatic yet?Give me until this Saturday.
And now for something that isn't UFO. First capture of Scarlet Gensokyo.
WTF.
In my first attempt since UFO came out, BAM. WHAT THE HELL. Two INSANE dodges and boom.
I'm not complaining but....
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. It just came out of NOWHERE. It was supposed to be a WARM UP RUN. I'm still in shock...
*sigh*
At last that monkey is off my back. :D
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4507
I HATE PATCHOULIEx-Midboss Patchouli?
Somehow managed to 1cc UFO easy with Marisa A. I doubt I'll ever play that shot type again. I can't deal with that screeching noise or the brightness of her options. So that means I've cleared easy with 3 shot types now~Congratulations, Marisa A made me ragequit on stage 4.
HELLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SCREW YOU AND SCREW YOUR LEGENDARY FLYING SAUCER, HIZIRI, UFO HARD 1CC'D (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4513)!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan that was tense. I went into her final card 1/0 and died AND used my two bombs on the final phase and I STILL almost died again, third time lucky I guess. Seriously, Legendary Flying Saucer can go and screw itself, the final phase has killed me so often at crucial moments it's not even funny. I am not going to fight Hiziri again for at least a few more days. @_@
Aaaaand that brings me back to all the standard Touhou games 1cc'd on Hard mode, woo! :D
EDIT: Also, anyone have any clue what the reward message for Hard mode says? I'd like to know if there's anything else I can stick on my r?sum?. :V
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
*cuts wrist again*
I guess I should "watch" these replays if I want a better idea of what to do, but whatever. Somehow this makes my MS lunatic 1cc insignificant...
BTW, Sanae B seems very...weird. I know there was a thread on her, but I didn't follow it and don't feel like trudging through the whole thing, so can someone tell me how she works and why she's so great? Wasn't there something about her being a "no focus = more damage" shot type?Simple. SanaeB has the shotgun + spread, as well as the second-best forward attack. The bomb also allows supergrazing (not to mention lol-shotgun + bomb).
And besides that, Ichirin's second spell card captured on lunatic! \o/ It's not as bad as it seems. The real trick is to not get greedy with your damage output, or you will meet da fist.Turns out I need to be more aggressive, otherwise I time it out :V
I've, err, come to the conclusion that UFO Hard is more difficult than PCB Lunatic. I just tried PCB Lunatic for the first time in months and got to Yuyuko's 4th spell card on my first attempt without continuing. I haven't ever grinded PCB Lunatic either or practiced any of its stages, whereas I've been grinding UFO Hard for the best part of a week (minus some time for EoSD Extra obv), and yet on my first attempt I get further through Yuyuko than I've ever gotten with Hiziri. <_<
It's about time I gave the secret. At 1.00 Power, unfocusing gives you 2 frogs, focusing gives you 1. At 2.00 Power, unfocusing gives you 4 frogs, focusing gives you 2. At 3.00 Power, unfocusing gives you 4 frogs(?), focusing gives you 3 frogs. At 4.00 Power, unfocusing gives you 4 frogs, focusing gives you 6 (4 front, 2 side / diagonal).
Sanae fires SoEW Reimu's basic shots, except more colourful. UFO is a huge PC 98 and Space Invaders reference. =3
Hey everyone! Have you guys tried to timeout Byakuren's Shinki spellcard? I don't know what to call it. I'm thinking of BoLaD Mark 2 cause Byakuren Rape Time is a little too much.
Old. Very old. Also it's much easier than BoLaD time out or Gengetu Rape Time.
It's weird how it was so much harder than the rest.Well, until you consider how terrible her bomb is. v;
Speculation about Power.I don't think that the base shot is getting weaker. I'm trying it at various powers, and don't see any difference. Perhaps the speed of the frog is inversely proportional to damage? So we could be having say, faster frogs doing a lesser amount of damage (at lowest; half the damage) than the slower frogs.
Hey everyone! Have you guys tried to timeout Byakuren's Shinki spellcard?Yes I have.
This might be a bit of a stupid question, but what actually is Gengetu Rape Time? I assume it's some kind of difficult timeout phase but other than that I'm clueless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxmaw-8UCn0Funny how I actually managed to properly dodge a few rings, isn't it?
It's what happens when you time out Gengetu's last phase and she decides you take life for granted.

I just 1cced Perfect Cherry Blossom on normal with ReimuB, my first normal 1cc of any Touhou game. I did start with 4 lives instead of the default 3, though, and the only way I got past Resurrection Butterfly was with heavy bomb use. Still, I'm very happy, especially considering I haven't played PCB since UFO came out. Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4537).Great job. Now your 2nd 1CC of normal will come faster.
Well that was weird.GODRAKE. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I froze the initial power value to 4.00 in UFO. If you die while shooting, you'll come up with only three options and one shot will be shooting out of nowhere from where you died. It will change according to focus/unfocus, too.
awesome
How are you able to accurately test the power of focused base shots? If I wasn't clear (which is likely), I was hypothesizing that only the focused base shots get weaker, and the unfocused remain the same.I used a "blind spot" for 2.00 Power, and saw nothing different. However, I wouldn't say that my method of measuring the difference to be accurate; it's only giving me an approximation. At this point, I'm not too concerned about whether the frog speeds are affecting damage, or whether the actual base shot is changing damage.
Or maybe it's the socks.This is probably the only reason (apart from music, which I like actually) why I'm still touching Extra.
Wait, so people are seriously just giving up on UFO lunatic? That's not the spirit! I'm counting on you guys to NOT give up. D: D:

I just played a ton of IN Extra again, managed a pair of caps of Mokou's final noncard and then did a couple timeout runs for lulz, that ended...predictably. Despite this, I found the whole experience great fun.
Heh...yet you guys think SA is like the best game in the series
you might as well say that Hourai Jewel is statically easy and while you'd be right on the static part, I will quite vehemently disagree on the easy part.Isn't a card with any homing elements not static by definition?
Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to keep playing that awesome Frogger card.?

Have the Japanese Players 1cc'd UFO Lunatic legitimately yet?Legitimately, there's a few. See attachment.
HELL YEAH, CAPTURED MAZE OF LOVE :V
And then died with 3 bombs on Catadioptric.
Or maybe it's the socks.Oh man, the comparisons just keep coming, don't they? Flansocks wants a word with you...
Nah, And Then Will There Be None is definitely the easiest. Even without a hitbox it can't touch me, and is the only one I can capture consistently.
Anyone else find it odd that, in the game that wants to be much more random than its predecessors, its timeout is so statically easy? There is some randomness to it, but not much. I think it's the easiest of all the Extra timeouts.
I find Border of Humans and Youkai somewhat hard.....
Possessed By Phoenix is by far the easiest.
PbP is a lot harder when you simply can't do the tapping right. No matter how much I try I can't tap at the right pace long enough to either avoid getting shot or hitting the top. When you have to do it the spiral method it suddenly gets to the same difficulty as the other survival cards.
Cheesing the second phase of PbP just requires using extremely small and easy taps.
the final phase [of Nue's last spell], which is, to me, complete luck-garbage.Thank you.
Hah! Finally perfected Reisen. I've beaten her without bombs or deaths before, but I've never captured Tele-Mesmerism in the same run. Seriously, what was ZUN thinking when he designed this fight. This is the only time in the series when a stage 5 boss is easier than the stage 2 boss.
What's the trick to Kogasa's lasers?Just don't panic. It's like Danmaku Paranoia: Move as few as possible.
What's the trick to Kogasa's lasers?
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAWhat's the trick to Kogasa's lasers?Just don't panic. It's like Danmaku Paranoia: Move as few as possible.
The lasers are the easy part.Guerilla Typhoon is at least fun. I play it most of the time unfocused.
Guerilla Typhoon and the bean bullet walling crap are much harder....
Call me stupid, but I don't get the joke. Is it because the lasers don't land at you most of the time?AHAHAHAHAHAHHAWhat's the trick to Kogasa's lasers?Just don't panic. It's like Danmaku Paranoia: Move as few as possible.

Now I can see what stage 5 is like on lunatic! :D ... D:
Wh...wha? I just game over'd on Byakuren's second non-spell. o_O How the hell do you predict where these lasers are going to be?!
YES!!! I finally did it! PCB Easy 1cc! This means that I've 1cc'd all the Windows games except MoF and PoFV. The former will probably be a nightmare, the latter I don't even plan on playing to be honest...
Anyway, replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4565
Also, having just seen VoWG Lunatic, I went back and had another go at VoWG Hard. I capped it on my first attempt (I've only ever capped this once before after hours of attempts).
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! :D Lunatic unlocked for stage practice! Due to me capturing Superhuman ~ Byakuren Hiziri, I reached Legendary Flying Saucer with a life to spare. I just barely managed this. I don't get why people think Superhuman is hard; I find it to be possibly her easiest spell card.
I don't even care that I got the bad ending, or that the game didn't give me the dignity of the credits. I'm just glad the past 80 minutes haven't been a waste.
YES!!! I finally did it! PCB Easy 1cc! This means that I've 1cc'd all the Windows games except MoF and PoFV. The former will probably be a nightmare, the latter I don't even plan on playing to be honest...
Just to celebrate.
I managed to 1cc SoEW on Normal with ReimuB.
Congrats on that... I wish I could SURVIVE this card with less than 2 lives...
It's the only thing keeping me from 1CCing the game on hard :(
23 tries and still haven't beaten VoWG
I've been practicing VoWG on Hard myself.....either it's a clipfest or I can get down to last 40% without bombing and then it's just continuous walling.
Apparently VoWG requires you to watch a much larger portion of the screen so you can read the gaps :V
I've come to the conclusion that 1ccing PCB Lunatic is much easier with Reimu A than Reimu B. :V I just tried it now, and I performed pretty terribly, dying with bombs in stock about five times, usually with two or three of them, and I still managed to reach Yuyuko. Having a bomb that actually does something is nice.Why not SakuyaA....is she too cheap? :V

You perfect EoSD Extra with MarisaA and now Sakuya is too fast? :V
HUZZAH! After around a bajillion restarts (more like 10) due to clip-deaths during the stage, I managed to beat Yukari without shooting! Judging from my performance (I had 3 lives left when I beat her) I could probably remain pacifist for the entire stage and do it!
Thus, I have beaten Phantasm normally about 150 times, I have restarted about 1200 times, I've beaten Yukari without dying 3 times, and I beat her without shooting once.
Maybe I should try to beat the entire stage without shooting-it's certainly possible....
...YES!!!!!!!! I just 1cc'd MoF... With four lives left! Stage 4 no deaths, captured everything of Aya's, did awesome on stage 5... Used tons of bombs against Kanako <.< >.> Still, pretty awesome. Take that Kanako! Go to hell Kanako's final spell! <.<;
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4575

Congrats, though due to my hatred of Sakuya A and how it takes very little skill to 1cc with her I hope you try again with another shot type someday.

Sakuya A. ;_;Congrats, though due to my hatred of Sakuya A and how it takes very little skill to 1cc with her I hope you try again with another shot type someday.
I probably will, to be honest... watching the replay it's pretty unimpressive. Considering how close I got with Reimu A and B, I'll probably try again with one of those. :V
Also, err, is it just me, or are the Prismrivers' first two non-cards usually their most difficult attacks? They last so long... @_@
EDIT: Okay okay I just watched most of the replay and I'm not really happy with it any more, far too much bomb spam going on. PCB Lunatic with Reimu B is back on the top of the list.
I did it! finally! after weeeeeeeks of practice, I finally took that bitch down.
The stage itself didn't go well at all, think I got hit somewhere and ofcourse on the death fairy. mid boss went ok 2 out of 3 captured. Did pretty good on the 2nd half of the last boss fight.
Also my first score over a billion :P
By the way, I'm willing to bet money that you could 1cc lunatic as Reimu-B if you were more aggressive with the point of collection. You could have 400 or so more point items that run- 2 more lives.
Also, before you go and try to 1cc lunatic as Reimu, watch Bjw's perfect stage 5 run and learn how to misdirect Youmu's noncards.
Congrats on the Extra clear! And nice work on the score... I don't think I've ever actually reached a billion, hehe.
The following is what I do on IN extra:
Collect point items whenever I have an opportunity (which is all the time)
Capture as many spell cards as I can.
That's it. That's all you need to do to pass a billion in extra.
As for the main game, it's not impossible to pass a billion in stage 6 alone if you capture enough spell cards.
Actually, what is so bad about SakuyaA?
Some people tell me that SakuyaB is much better, some that SakuyaA is cheap.....
ReimuB isn't bad, but I like my bombs better when they do damage. :)
Does she just suck or is SakuyaA pig bottom like MarisaBugged?
get time to shotgun enemies while it lasts (which is a really long time).No, the reduction in damage is incredibly strong, making this point moot. Basically, all this bomb has is defensive uses. Hey, it works for me :V

One of the many effects of summoning a UFO during a Spell Card.
I just capped Pseudo Stradivarius, which makes all Prismriver cards capped and brings me to 140/141. That just leaves Resurrection Butterfly 80%... @_@
Do what I did: Politely ask Yuyuko if she could please let you capture her spell card once. Worked for me.
Finally 1cc'd EoSD Normal.
I DIDN'T DIE TO VOGW
Too bad Stage 4 desynched.This is normal. To avert the issue, play it from S3 (speed it up if you want to skip) and it'll run just fine.

Wellll, it's not quite VoWG, but I managed to get my first capture of Source of Rains Lunatic. :VI hate that card. Capped it, but it's still stupid and I still hate it.
How the hell are you supposed to damage Kanako anyways?
I always enter with 1-2 power at most, I've managed to survive until 20 seconds left and then clipped something.....I never do enough damage :V

You damage her excruciatingly slowly while you fly backwards and forwards across the screen really fast. Which is why, as theshim says, it's a stupid asshole of a spell card. :V
Unless I clip it, it's simple streaming on Hard.....but Unremembered Crop can go die :V

Oh man that felt awesome that is the best spell card ever. VoWG Lunatic captured! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4595)
Most of the run wasn't amazing; my deaths were one to Divine Crop and two to that asshole of a fourth non-card, but that doesn't matter because I captured VoWG Lunatic. :D
Man, Resurrection Butterfly 80% and VoWG Lunatic on the same day, that's kickass. But then again, hours and hours of playing for only two spell cards. Huh. :V I wonder what I should do next... I don't really feel like trying to get another 1cc yet. That'll be tomorrow, though, I'm pretty drained after that and it's way too late to be starting anything else now.
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee32/firestormiv/kanakoexploding.jpg)
MoF Hard Cleared! Too bad Stage 4 desynched.
VoGW went so well. After 4 bombs, I dodged between amulets at the bottom of the screen about 5 times in a row, with at least one of those only by sheer luck (I lost track of my sprite in a wall of amulets).
That means : I DIDN'T DIE TO VOGW

I guess I just suck too much at it.
Yes I have... I've beaten Kanako with two lives while practicing...
But I get really anxious when I'm playing for real :P
I'm at VoWG right now..
2 lives 3.5 power... but im shaking far too much to even touch the game...
If i make it, I'll clear with over 400 million score, which is pretty good for a first 1cc...
Man I'll go drink some water and come back later =P

And then... Earth in a Pot: 1/59.
Is there any good method for beating that or is it really just the clusterfuck that it looks like? I only managed to beat it by repeatedly destroying a load of familiars on each wave and getting lucky.

Beat Suwako's extra stage. Wasn't that great of of run, since I haven't been past Frog Is Eaten by Snake due to the Croak, before this. But I'll work on making it better later.

Count the number of lasers fired and adjust yourself accordingly. There are special spots though.
After the 5th laser, prepare to aim the 6th laser directly down the middle. Move to the side a bit afterwards; everything will miss if you did it right.
One last thing: I'd appreciate it if you'd analyze the best way to dodge the large bullets that fall upon your position in Devil's Recitation.Which large bullets? The ones that fall randomly upon your position (reddish outline), or the aimed (or static; haven't checked) ones that form zig-zags (bluish outline)? If it's the former, then you'll just need to have a quick mind. If it's the latter, then I wouldn't bother trying to misdirect them or do something extreme with them. Though, you may just want to misdirect the evil bubble bullets away from the center.
EDIT: AUGH. LFO LUNATIC ALMOST CAPTURED. It had a sliver of life left. Perhaps this is doable?Omnidirectional reading is hard, no? Hey, at least you didn't smack yourself as the Spell Card was dissipating during a normal run :V
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE. @_@

And that brings me to three. MoF Lunatic 1cc'd! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4618)
The run went mostly well except for Aya's 2nd non-card which I died twice to, and VoWG for obvious reasons. Lots of bombing going on as per usual, but hey, a clear's a clear. :D
Just captured Unreasonable Butterfly Storm in IN, I heard somewhere it was a pretty insane spell card, didn't take me that much tries but I felt proud when I did it anyway :V

There's an easier way to do that one-- you don't have to do any horizontal movement at all! That spell card really messed me up until I realized I you can do the whole card somewhat easily if you stay in the dead center of the screen and move up and down. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wNkTnICqRc&fmt=18#t=2m39s)
EDIT: I'm proving to myself more and more that UFO lunatic is possible. I just managed UFO stage 5 lunatic's stage portion without dying. Then I died three times on Syou, but anywaaaaay. Basically, this game is EoSD on a level up in difficulty: Random, difficult yet doable stages, and extremely hard bosses that make all the stages pale in comparison.I may need to feast upon your brain sometime. Before I quit with UFO I would routinely find the STAGES harder than the BOSSES (exempting Byakuren, of course). In fact I have a no-bomb 1-miss run of Syou here somewhere. At least I hope I saved and didn't delete that replay...
I still didn't unlock that one.
Is 14 attempts for Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana good? :V
Another last word down! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4624)
Congrats man!!
I watched your replay and you really don't like going to the POC do you? hahaha
Your VoWG was pretty good too :)
Hopefully I'll beat it on Hard today to move on to PCB and EoSD...
And I understand where you're coming from about VoWG now, heh... it suddenly becomes much more difficult when you have a 1cc riding on it.
...I can't believe it! I tried playing PCB Extra, (not sure why I was insane enough to try it) and I actually reached Ran! ...Her first nonspell is strangely easy.
FINALLY capped Peerless Wind God Lunatic. It wasn't even a very good capture, I wasn't trying that hard, just I randomly happened to not get clusterfucked down the right hand side of the screen as much as usual and I got a cap without even really expecting it. :V Well, whatever. That took me more attempts than VoWG Lunatic. Now I just have some Sanae cards and Suwako's survival cards left until I've capped everything... really not looking forward to Red Frog. <_<That's pretty much how captures of PBSG tend to go. And Red Frog is nothing...Suwa War is where it's at.
PCB NORMAL 1CC WITH TWO LIVES LEFT!!!!!!!!!!! No words can describe how excited I am right now! YES! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4632 It doesn't say "Cleared" but it is. And I'm happy :3
Finally, I have defeated UFO normal.
... why do I have this strange compulsion to do it again?

Finally captured Nue's stupid, stupid survival card. Still lost the game (Green UFO smashed me earlier), but I'm now back to the status quo of capturing every extra card in the series except the insanity that is Suwa War.

Also...also I think I just figured out how to make Byakuren's first spell card as easy as possible! The smaller bullets travel in streams, and if you visualize it like that, it's much easier to dodge everything!I figured this out 3-4 days ago. Adding to this, the Seizure BulletsTM also travel in a similar manner, but in "reverse direction". I would still bomb it because it's so easy to clipdeath against. In an average run, you need to be able to quickly read the oncoming bullets, and position yourself precisely in a short time frame. And use some vertical dodging if you're unlucky :V
OTL ALL HAIL OUR NEW GOD. BAITY TRULY BELIEVES HE/SHE IS OF THE CHOSEN ONES.Just a note, there are some spectacular things in that replay, yet at the same time, some really, really stupid deaths. Everybody's calling me a God now :V

I'm...a bit disappointed actually. I was too amazed by the tactics (and how many of these are impossible for Reimu A D:) and stuff to count the total deaths, but it seems that UFO lunatic forces you to be a slave to the UFO system. :(
Still, good job. <3
I'm...a bit disappointed actually.So about capturing Ichirin's first Boss Spell Card...
NOW DO PoD-no. Well, not yet anyways. At least let me finish off this session. Then I might give it another go.
So what's the order of Lunatics these days?Sounds about right. Though, UFO is technically "easier" since you can bomb your way through parts you have trouble on with most shot types (4 of 6).
Is it UFO > SA > EoSD > IN > PCB > MoF?
One question Baity.Survival comes before capture for a first 1cc. If you look at Stage 5, you'll see that I don't even want to attempt to go for a capture of any SC unless I had no bombs (because Lunatic is that much more overwhelming than Hard). I believe
At 2/2 going into LFO, were you not even *slightly* tempted at going for the capture? ;) Both of your bombs seemed to be timed to get yourself into a better shotgunning position rather than to keep you alive.
I'd probably have given in and tried it.
On that note: LFO LUNATIC CAPTURE! :D~
Greatest Treasure almost equals Catwalk in difficulty on lunatic. =_= The fact that you benefit from bombing it only makes it worse. I captured it once out of sheer luck.My History is sitting on something like 5/50? More? Less? Not as BS as "Catwalk"SA S5 SC1, but still.
Also, Baity. Any good tips on how to consistently beat midboss Nues? I'm pretty sure the attacks are static and aimed at your position, but the third and fourth waves for both just seem to kill me or let me live at the whims of fate.Ehh... no. Personally, I would use 1-2 bombs during the "Red" waves for max power. I think it's static and / or aimed. I try to follow a middle, middle -> left, middle, middle -> right scheme (normally... you probably won't ever see me follow this in a 1cc for some reason; probably irrationality).
A better comparison would be "CoK"[?]PCB S5 SC5 without slowdown, larger bullets, and a bullets being spawned from the side.Nah, because Components of Konpaku is easy. (Comparatively.)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4654Wait, you got Byakuren's 2nd non-spell? :V

Also, the way you're doing Byakuren's 4th non-spell is off a bit from the "optimal" path. I'll demonstrate it once I come back in like 5 hours or so.
GRAAAAAAAHHH!!!
Finally, on the 97th attempt, I have achieved one of my ultimate Touhou goals:
VIRTUE OF WIND GOD CAPTURED! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4666)
And I was still playing like crap the previous four or five attempts, and the rest of this run is crap, and then BAM!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA OH DAMN DOES IT FEEL AWESOME
