YES I 1CC MOF normal.

Oho! Congratulations. Quite a satisfactory feelling isn't it? I remember back when i did that. That was sure times...

I even captured the last spell card (which isn't really hard) anyway time to move on to hard for me.

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.

I don't think i did that back then. Its not really hard but i'd suggest you try and time it out. That used to be a lot of fun to me. Give it a shot why don't you?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

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.

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.

Not so much of an achievement but I feel the need to salvage *something* from that horrible experience.

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.

Also VIVIT's first theme is one of the best ZUN songs ever, seriously.

This game's Lunatic honestly wouldn't be that bad too, if it gave you about 2 more lives, didn't have anti-deathbombs (fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff) and didn't have a couple minor hateful things (like the multiple use of ships kamikaze'ing at you while other danmaku has been sprayed on the screen, see for instance the laser grid before the midboss in SSG Extra)

How? I for one also hate clipdeaths on Marisa. Also deaths due to starting movement a millisecond too late due to input lag.

Pulled out a 1cc of IN Hard with Alice Solo a few hours ago. First try.

I think I'll practice some things and then try it again before posting a replay. The run was pretty decent, but there were a lot of cards that I should have capped but didn't for various stupid reasons.

Krimmydoodle · « **Reply #222 on:** July 25, 2009, 04:44:21 AM »

As part of a silly summer project to 1cc all of the Windows Lunatics with each character (with IN probably limited to teams, since 1ccs with some of those solos are utterly unreasonable), got a re-1cc of EoSD with Reimu A on my first real run after not playing Touhou for a week ("real run" meaning I made it to Rumia without dying because I'm stupidly trying to grab every power item ever).

Because that run unlocked Extra for Reimu A for me, I decided to play Extra for the hell of it, having mostly a lulzy run (at least a death and a bomb before Flan, and neither one as a result of Patchy), reaching QED with 0/1, saying "screw the bomb, capture or bust", and recapping QED.

I'd gladly trade the second QED cap for a Scarlet Gensokyo cap though...

This might sound somewhat silly, but:

1. Change the BitDepth to 8-bit
2. Go to DrawMode and randomly cycle through the options for a bit, then change it to 60.

Yes, I'm serious. You should feel an exceptional improvement in input afterword. If you still feel some lag, go back and repeat step 2 some more. You also need to do step 2 whenever you start up the game. It's inconvenient, but a price I'm willing to pay for better control. Keep in mind that the cause of the lag might be different for your machine than for mine, so YMMV. I've no idea what causes the lag and why this fixes it, but I'm not complaining.

Scarlet Gensokyo capture. No screenshot, unfortunately, but I did it, and that's all I care about.

1/33 history, probably closer to 1/30 when you subtract encounters with Scarlet Gensokyo -Hard-.

Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" (Lunatic) capture, Reimu Solo.

*insert last video before I leave for university* ;_;

_{...of course I'll still be playing at university (like I always had) but I won't be able to upload as much.}

Fluke ~~dodges~~ boxing are flukes.

It certainly helps knowing that triangular bullets and lasers are small. It also helps knowing that you can "fly" through laser walls if you're fast enough. This will only work in the first 15 seconds or so though, since after that, the stars start to fill up your screen.

I finally got around to 1cc'ing Easy Modo with everyone and decided to tackle a couple of Last Words for kicks. I managed to get Mystia's with Border Team with little problem, but Reisen's with Scarlet Team took a lot of trial and error, but after about 40 tries, booyah.

@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?

Do you mean the second pattern she uses against you, right after the Erich lookalike opener? For that, the lasers don't remain lethal for very long and usually disappear once the bullets come down, so you just find a safespot between the lasers and focus on the bullets after that. (Psst, or you could just shotgun her as she sweeps across the screen and the phase will end before the attack even gets going)

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.

Derp. Forgot just how abuseable shotgun is in this game >_>

On a side note, what the FUCK is UP with VIVIT's first form flower attack? It's hellish speed micrododging with gaps blocked, exacerbated by the fact that I honestly think developing hitbox sense for VIVIT is completely fucking impossible, *AND* for some reason it takes 2 bombs to end, even IF I shotgun during the entirety of the attack. What the fuck?!? This is easily the hardest attack in the entire fight.

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.

Generalguy · « **Reply #233 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:37:42 PM »

Capped "Divining Crop" on Lunatic. I watched Donut's replay and started stage practice.

I died only once until VoWG, and it was a stupid death on Yamato Torus.

Then I used 4 lives and 12 bombs on VoWG. Wow. It was awesome though, with the spell lasting 2 minutes and Kanako explosing at the end.

I was trembling the whole time, even though that run was completely meaningless. I can't stand any kind of pressure.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #234 on:** July 25, 2009, 10:10:21 PM »

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.

It's a full game run that desynced on stage 4. The one where you died like 3 times on stage 2 and still got a 1cc somehow.

Cleared MoF extra stage. <3 I haven't even 1cc'd hard mode yet.

Pretty epic. The cards I died on amounted to her fourth card and her second survival card; otherwise i just bombed. I'm a lot prouder of this run than my other extra clears to date :O

That second to last card is VERY rough. I came out of it with nothing left. Thought I was dead for sure. And then...

Two familiars, circling the screen, Yukari resting transparent in the background... I've seen this before! In IN...!

Capped it with ease, and finally saw the end of the stage.

Sentinel · « **Reply #239 on:** July 26, 2009, 02:44:56 AM »

Yay, I made it to Yuyuko's very last spellcard with Reimu B on Lunatic, where I proceeded to die. It's not really much of an accomplishment, but now I'm closer than ever to my first Lunatic 1CC, so yay, again.

HAHA YES FIRST LUNATIC 1CC GET
