I just nearly finished PCB for the first time... TWICE

I hate Youmu and Yuyuko.

I HATE THEM!

And today I died on the last spell card from Kanako on normal... I think I'm closer to beating MoF on normal than PCB on easy.. It's the last game reamaining for me on easy :/

This would normally be a rage moment, but...

1 bomb short of a Perfect Marisa Battle for LLS Lunatic (this was also at Max Rank due to the sheer amount of spam that actually occurred). Where did I bomb? The streaming attack (stars, not snowballs) >_>

It's a 7 death, 23 bomb Lunatic 1cc. 4 bombs were used for (very horrible; in terms of score gain) scoring.

Crashed and burnt myself on Stages 5 and 6. I had 8 lives at the start of Stage 5.

Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 5)...

~~err... let me get a few screenshots showing the best method that I can see~~. And no, I didn't follow it because I didn't realize it until now. Isn't it sad? ;_;

EDIT: screw it. I'm going to video it instead.

Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 6) is indeed static after seeing it so many times now.

So you know how a few of you were mocking me lightly? How back in November when I 1cc'd MS lunatic I stated I had beaten every lunatic you guys said "what about HRtP and PoDD? :V :V :V" Well, HRtP lunatic was beaten a while ago, and I finally got this mustache twiringly EVIL idea...what if I beat the impossible? What if I beat PoDD lunatic? It was only a pipe dream, but suddenly I began learning the ins and outs, and finally...AT LONG LAST...

I REPEAT.

PC-98 ALL CLEAR

Cleared MoF Normal again with Reimu B, but the best part about it isn't that I captured Aya's Survival Spell card Illusionary Dominance (Which was still pretty awesome mind you) no no no! It would be that I captured Mountain of Faith! Take that Kanako! Strange that I did this well since I haven't really been practicing my Danmaku at all lately.

Best Normal run ever.

Oh and congrats Donut for finally completing the impossible, hopefully you will brag about it less than you cried about not having done it. :V

?lice Bl?ckb?rn · « **Reply #35 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:57:44 AM »

um. what.

Well, I guess I no longer can consider PoDD Lunatic as genuinely impossible for a human to beat.

Congratulations, donut.

My greatest accomplisment so far is getting 62,752,950 points in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on normal difficulty, but I still havn't beaten the game on normal.

LHCling · « **Reply #37 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:42:54 PM »

'nut does ridiculous things (pun avoided).

Alright, here's what I got from mass experimentation during random LLS runs:

-Yuka's Final Phases are indeed static. Rank does not affect them. Still learning more spots for Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 6), although I can clear it now with MarisaA if I really wanted to (because of Cheap Lasers). Still difficult regardless.
-The most optimal solution to LLS Stage 4 Mid-Boss (HQ Version; though, I don't see a difference). Yes, the spray is aimed at your position continuously, not as I had previously thought.
-(Partial) Safespot above Elly during the "Tile Spam" Phase? Not that it's really needed...

Guess that's it.

But anyways, CONGRATULATIONS.

Perfect China fight... would have been a perfect stage but I died stupidly at one point. Still, not bad at all.

Almost got a perfect Stage 2 of PCB also. Chen's last card is the only problem, but it's not terrible. I'm not really sure why people dislike her.

Alice also isn't that bad... almost had a perfect run of her, screwed up Hanged Hourai Dolls.

Damn. That is... quite impressive to say the least. Even if you weren't the first to do it, anyone who can beat that hellish game on lunatic is deserving of the PC-98 master title.

So then... SG lunatic is next on your list right? :V

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:26:58 AM »

PoFV is next, for other than the fighting games (which due to my ineptitude in the genre have no desire to play above normal on) it is the only lunatic not yet beaten. SG lunatic can go rot in hell. ^_^

I just installed the vsync patch for EoSD, and decided to try MarisaA on Normal. I usually use ReimuA, but it was already cleared, and Marisa would make it easier to see the effects of the patch.

But holy crap, I cleared it 4/2, even if I lost bombs in stock because a stupid offscreen knife surprised me. My other clear ended with 0/1.

This patch is awesome. Once, I deathbombed AFTER hearing the death sound! Before, every time I deathbombed I had pressed the button before getting hit.

I even captured Eternal Meek, and found it quite easy. I always thought it was total bullshit before, even on Normal.

Now going to try PCB...

Edit : Tried Normal. Stupid death on stage 2, so I decided to try a No-Focus No-Bombs run (and not break borders intentionnally, but I always tend to ram into bullets anyway).
The run was going really well, until I hit Youmu, where I died twice to her penultimate spell and once to her last spell. Reached Yuyuko's second last spell, where my estimation of the bubbles hitbox was completely off.

I might not have succeeded, but this gave me a lot of confidence (I had a better score than my cleared run), and I believe Hard is within my reach.

Nuclear Fusion · « **Reply #45 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:55:32 PM »

Perfect Stage 2 of Cherry Blossom

That took far, far too long. So many stupid deaths on the stage for no good reason. Still, Chen is pretty easy. Why do I hear so much hate about her?

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #46 on:** July 09, 2009, 12:47:53 AM »

In a flurry of pure luck, I managed to survive the ultimate BS wall of PCB stage 6 with Marisa A. I feel like I need to record my reactions to my various accomplishments (my PoDD lunatic victory noise like I was in deep grief, with deep voiced breathing, but happy).

Also, I think I've FINALLY figured out the trick to PCB stage 4 after Lily. The enemies that fire the death walls don't fire immediately upon entering the screen. Watch carefully, and destroy the enemies that are already firing.

Azinth · « **Reply #47 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:11:09 AM »

The post-lily waves come in a specific pattern. It's two blue aimed waves from each side(stream up), two purple aimed waves from each side(stand still), (stop shooting)blue aimed wall, red aimed wall, (start shooting)red aimed rice pellets, and then repeat. That's the strategy that Kefit used in his stage 4 video on youtube. The reason I was able to perfect the stage is because I pretty much copied his strategy >_>.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 09, 2009, 08:02:57 AM »

I just defeated Lyrica's opener on max rank. :O Though this attack is one of the few in the game that slows my computer down (I believe the only other is ghost knives), I am fairly certain it did not assist me in the critical dodges!

LHCling · « **Reply #49 on:** July 09, 2009, 12:25:31 PM »

(First) PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Yuka. Replay didn't save due to game crash. Though, it really isn't too hard to pull it off again.

_{Who would've thought that disabling the BGM and playing something else on top of it would work, even though my right hand was suffering from fatigue?}

I died to the ridiculously easy streaming part a bit after midboss Orin, though.

You serious?

You can timeout last card in EoSD Lunatic but can't finish SA on Hard? :O
is it REALLY that hard? :p

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #56 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:33:37 PM »

Well, your overall power in SA, compared to almost every other game is pretty much BS, so that's understansable.

Generalguy · « **Reply #57 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:44:46 PM »

Phantasm clear, with ReimuA, on my second try.

Which also means I've beaten Yukari on my first try, because I hadn't even reached her before.

It was supposed to be a pretty crappy run though. At least one death in the stage, every single one of Ran's attacks failed, failed Yukari's first spellcard while I had a border, failed her second spell because I stupidly rammed in a bullet, etc.

I was way better than usual though for her non-spells. Only two bombs IIRC, both completely unnecessary, and one made me fail "Butterfly in the Zen Temple" before it could even start

Somehow, I reached BoLaD with 3/2 or something ridiculous like that, and this time I didn't lose three lives on it, only one because I reached the 30 seconds mark and I can't dodge all that crap.

As for Danmaku Boundary or whatever it's called, I bombed the first wave because I got stuck in the middle, dodged the second and third wave, tried to use the safespot in the fourth, was completely off, and died, and died in the fifth because I forgot which way I had to go.

I died with bombs in stock at least 4 times too (2nd spell, 4th spell, 2x last spell, probably Border of Human and Youkai too).

All hail the vsync patch.

Nuclear Fusion · « **Reply #58 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:21:28 PM »

Theorizing Alice's attacks. I think I've got most of them now, and should be able to perfect that stage. Difficult parts at the moment include post Alice stage and Me being a moron and forgetting the static parts.

Static Parts - As far as I can tell, every single one of her non-cards is static, changing only on her position. I've confirmed this for her mid-boss and pre-mid boss attacks, as well as her second boss non-card. Not sure about her opener, though.

Benevolent Dolls - wow, I use to think this card was stupid. I can't tell how static it is, but it's pretty much the same thing every time, Parts of it are random, though.

Chalk White - Easy.

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.

Hanged Hourai - Easiest with minimal movement staying in the center. Sometimes the dodging gets tight, but it's always doable.

So ya, I think the hardest part of stage 3 PCB is the stage itself. Boss Alice doesn't seem so bad anymore.

My little sister 1cc'ed EoSD Easy.

She's 10. And started playing in April.

I'm so proud of her...
