Here's the last thread.

Donut, how do you record stuff on anex86? If I play windowed, the game is compressed and takes only half the screen, while if I play fullscreen, all I manage to record is a black screen, with the game's music playing in the background.
-
EoSD HARD MODE 1CC ! 12 misses. That 1 death 1 bomb Scarlet Gensokyo was lame considering how I captured it yesterday :V

I use Hypercam 2. It allows you to record full screen with no slowdown (though if your game already slows down you'll have that to deal with).

12 misses? How is that even possible in a 1cc? Even if you're playing on max lives (which you shouldn't), that only gives you 10 misses.

EoSD counts deathbombs as misses.
meh again: MS hard 1cc.

Started with max lives, and finished with one left.

I use Hypercam 2. It allows you to record full screen with no slowdown (though if your game already slows down you'll have that to deal with).
I also use Hypercam 2. What I want to know is how you set up the emulator. For some reason nothing gets recorded if I play fullscreen, and on windowed the game is nearly unplayable when "Direct X - Windowed - Fast 2" is activated, which is required to remove lag.
-

I just use full screen + fast. Just in case it helps, I also set my frame thingy on "synch" instead of "asynch" and move synch down to 1. Other than that, I'm not sure how to help you. :\

I played around with the "priority" and "external ram" settings to try to make it lag less. I can't use frame skip at all.
Now I just have to NOT die six times to YuugenMagan and I might be able to get something.

I also use Hypercam 2. What I want to know is how you set up the emulator. For some reason nothing gets recorded if I play fullscreen, and on windowed the game is nearly unplayable when "Direct X - Windowed - Fast 2" is activated, which is required to remove lag.
If your getting a black screen, it means your recording the wrong window.
X-0, Y-35
Width-640 Height-400
Use these, go fullscreen and press F2 to start recording.
Achievement list huh? Better get comfortable.

UFO: perfect stage 1,3 - extra all shottypes
UNL: lunatic 1cc with Cirno

Every spellcard in the shooters captured.
Getting accused of tool-assisted :V
Guess I need to work on this "all shottype clear" thing. :/
-
All windows extra clear, UFO extra no deaths
EoSD, MoF, SA, UFO hard 1cc
IN, PCB lunatic 1cc
HRtP normal clear 61cc(yes, 61)
dodonpachi looped

UFO: Normal 1cc (SanaeA, MarisaA)
UNL: Normal 1cc (Sanae, China)
I know I can 1cc these Hard Modes, but :(

UFO: normal 1cc (all chars) UFO lunatic makes me want to cry
UNL: hard 1cc (Cirno)
all extras cleared with most if not all chars except SoEW's which can go die in a fire
-
My list then :
HRtP : Lunatic both routes (should be legitimate, when I don't try to record it usually plays well enough. But I'll try to do it with the school computers, as they should be able to run the emulator better).
SoEW : Normal 1cc with Reimu B. Apparently I haven't 1cc'd easy yet (or I didn't note it).
PoDD and LLS : Barely played, 1 Easy 1cc each.
EoSD : Normal 1cc + Extra
PCB : Normal 1cc + Extra + Phantasm
IaMP : Normal 1cc with a few characters
IN : Hard 1cc with Reimu Solo, FinalB (Border Team too but Reimu is harder) + Extra
PoFV : Easy 1cc + Extra cleared (Komachi only)

IN: Hard 1cc
MoF: Hard 1cc
SA: Normal 1cc
UFO: Normal 1cc
Except for SA and UFO, I have 2cc for all Lunatics :/
I never finished an Extra Stage
-
On a whim, I tryed to see how far I could get in IN lunatic with Sakuya solo, also known as LOL LETS TIME EVERYTHING OUT the maid.
The 1cc ended at Reimu because of AAAAAAAAH YING-YANG ORBS.
Still managed to beat it before 5.00 AM, so the game considers it a clear.
Results

IMO, Alice is even worse. Yeah your damage is better, but you have basically no range and your bombs are worse then UFO MarisaB. Both of them have quite pretty bombs (at least her deathbomb) but they're also the worst bombs in the series D:
Anyway, all games 1cced on at least Hard and extra cleared, with the exception of HRtP(Got to Sariel on Easy =X), PoDD (DIE YUMEMI DIE), and IaMP (just grr). The latter 2 I've at least 1cced on Normal, the last being with Alice, IMO the worst character for Story but my favorite to play with.
And then, LLS/PoFV(Aya)/SWR 1cced on Lunatic, all shot types 1cced Easy/Normal/Hard with PoFV. Very nearly 1cced EoSD Lunatic, died twice with full bomb stock and STILL made it to Scarlet Gensokyo with 3 three bombs. And got clipped by the first bubble bullet wave.
-
Don't forget the inability to destroy familiars which makes some attacks near impossible. Ephemerality, Mystia's final nonspell, probably some others I'm forgetting.
The immunity to familiars is nice though.

I just use full screen + fast. Just in case it helps, I also set my frame thingy on "synch" instead of "asynch" and move synch down to 1. Other than that, I'm not sure how to help you. :\
Also fine, since it's so hard to resist~
General: All games 1cc'd on lunatic, all spell cards captured, all Windows stages beaten on lunatic no deaths, and lost Gengetu to someone who has been playing for 9 months even though I've been playing for over 2 years.
Couldn't resist. :P
-
Hey hey hey. We're SHARING her. >:( Also if you think I'd ever relinquish the title of Gengetsu's biggest fanboy, you clearly don't know to what extent I like her.
/off topic lol
-
How nice... Gengetu's biggest fanboy is willing to share Gengetu with someone else. :P
-
Didn't a bunch of you guys make accomplishment lists some time ago? I haven't been here long enough to know if that's tradition or something.
As for recent accomplishments, I played PCB Extra again, and this time got all the way to Ran's time-out card. I'm getting much better at everything else (aside from what I've only done once), but I can see her last two cards "walling" me for a while. Also, all IN Easy stages except 6B perfected with the Border Team. And yes, I did remember to do 4A too. The odd thing is, Marisa took a bit of time to perfect, but I nailed Reimu (and her stage) on my first try ever (a sightread, if you will). Is one version of Stage 4 supposed to be easier on all difficulties, or does it change?
-
Seems like whenever someone makes a new thread everyone lists all their accomplishments =P
-
If your getting a black screen, it means your recording the wrong window.
X-0, Y-35
Width-640 Height-400
Use these, go fullscreen and press F2 to start recording.
Kind of wondering, is there a way to make Hypercam record from the computer's sound card, or is it always going to use the microphone?
-
I just recorded myself defeating Rumia with my eyes closed. Should I upload y/n?
-
Lists are now a tradition. :V
Anyway, here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3871.msg168617#msg168617) here:
All (shooting) games Lunatic 1cc, HRtP 1cc both routes. :effort: with the fighters. 64 scenes and a pretty damn good score against you scrub StB players (17.6mil) :V
- SoEW Extra NDNB (the only one that I will bother with)
- LLS Lunatic No Bombs 1cc with Reimu, 1LC with Marisa (unreported; this is separate to my savescum-practice run), Perfect Stages 1-4A (no B yet). Officially survived a lot of Extra timeout phases either perfectly, 1 bomb / death or 2 bombs (or equivalent). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBG-VS2IfoQ) "GRT" is the exception, having a 1D3B clear as my best. No Bombing it is a different story, personal best being in that video.
- MS Stages 1-4 NDNB, Stages 5, 6 1DNB
- EoSD Stages 4, 5 ND1B (unreported)
- PCB Stage 5 NDNB, Stage 6 ND2B
- "T-M" NF Timeout
- MoF Extra NV Clear
- UFO 3LC (and a terrible one at that IMO), "Blue UFO" 1DNB Timeout (unreported?)
All "achievements" that have no difficulty label are assumed to be Lunatic.
Just so you know, I'm lacking a certain Shot Type for a UFO Lunatic 1cc All Shot Types. You should be able to deduce it easily. It's an easy Shot Type to play anyway.
-
Woo, list time!
HRtP: Easy game over. :dragonforce:
SoEW: Lunatic 1cc, Extra clear.
PoDD: Hard 1cc (should really get around to finishing this off).
LLS: Lunatic 1cc, Extra no focus clear.
MS: Lunatic 1cc, Extra no focus clear.
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc, Extra perfect clear, Extra no focus no bombs clear.
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Extra perfect clear, Extra no focus no deaths clear, Phantasm perfect clear, Phantasm no focus clear.
IaMP: ...Can't remember. :V Probably Normal 1cc.
IN: Lunatic 1cc both routes, Extra no focus clear.
PoFV: Lunatic 1cc, Extra clear.
StB: All scenes clear.
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Extra no focus clear.
SWR: Normal 1cc.
SA: Lunatic 1cc, Extra no focus clear.
UFO: Low score Lunatic 1cc, Extra no focus clear.
UNL: Normal 1cc.
Other things: All spell cards captured, VoWG no focus capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJHwWgMgaU), Hourai Elixir Youmu solo no focus constant shooting capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2KxtV4hq3s).
SA Extra perfect is next on the list~

Gengetu Spark's timeout phase seems like the easiest one...
-
EoSD Extra all shottypes clear. Just to get that out of the way.
ReimuA was like pacifist Flandre all over again. :V
Gengetu Spark's timeout phase seems like the easiest one...
Well, I managed to dodge a full wave of it in my pacifist video so maybe. :V
None of them are easy in the slightest though. A lot of luck is involved as well.
Kind of wondering, is there a way to make Hypercam record from the computer's sound card, or is it always going to use the microphone?
I have no microphone, so there you go.
I do remember you had to do some weird Voodoo in Vista and Win 7 to activate the Sterio Mix, which I think is required for recording from the speakers.
I guess you can use this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-7eEX7aZ_E&feature=related)
-
oh hey lists
EoSD: Normal 1cc, Extra Clear
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Extra/Phantasm NF, Phantasm 1DNB (stage portion death >:()
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Extra NF
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Extra NF
SA: Lunatic 1cc, Extra NF, Extra 1DNB (I died to Subterranean Rose. WHAT)
UFO: I once managed to die 7 times to LFO

This is harder then UFO god dammit
All games 1cced on at least Hard, barring HRtP and IaMP~
-
I did something in EOSD I like to call Cirnoing.... Basically i played like if i was playing Cirno and Letty xmas. I got up to china.
-
LLS lunatic 1cc with all shottypes and Extra clear all shottypes.
Took like no effort at all.
These endings are weird as hell though and I'm really curious what is going on.

Although why Marisa's talking about dolphins I'm not sure, unless there's another meaning to "iruka" that I don't know about :V

Marisa looks so fat there
-

The weirdest ending of all is Bad End 3 from SoEW.
Marisa crucifies Reimu and sets her on fire. Of course I'm serious.

Okay I HAVE to go see this later
-
EoSD lunatic 1cc with ReimuA. I believe the only one shottype I haven't done yet is MarisaB.
MS Extra all shottypes clear.
I also found a way to trivialise EX Alice's bouncy icicle phase.
The icicles can be dodged with a simple, infinitely repeating pattern similar to IN extra's death fairy.
It's kind of hard to explain, so I'll make a video of it sometime later.
I just recorded myself defeating Rumia with my eyes closed. Should I upload y/n?
What difficulty? Where bombs involved?
-
What difficulty? Where bombs involved?
Lunatic of course. And there was MASSSIVE bomb spam, but I actually managed to dodge a few things, including capturing Night Bird.
LLS endings do want
>_>
<_<
/me appears in an alleyway
EDIT: Oh god damn it where did I put them?
FYI Serafie, "いるか” means "who's there?" :P
And as for Marisa's clothing, they're just different clothes for her. PC-98 differed from Windows in that the characters actually sometimes put on normal clothes for the endings.
-
And as for Marisa's clothing, they're just different clothes for her. PC-98 differed from Windows in that the characters actually sometimes put on normal clothes for the endings.
Actually, in one of PCB's endings Reimu wears different clothing involving wearing a hat and no detached sleeves.
I was like "what."
Uhh I should go put an accomplishment here so I don't go off topic...
Captured God Sign「Beautiful Spring-like Suiga」which I had trouble with for ages since I failed at reading between the lines.
-
Perfected the Prismrivers. I have no idea why it has taken this long to do so, but it may have to do with the fact that they have a long stage and Lyrica's opener is VERY hard at max rank. So the obvious solution: Do terribly on the stage to lower the rank so the attack is trivial. \o/ Now I just have to perfect Yuyuko and I will have perfected every non-extra boss in PCB.
/me seppukus at the thought of getting serious about perfecting a final boss
-
Finally, my first Normal mode 1CC. Imperishable Night, but still. Completely messed up the Reisen fight, and didn't capture anything in stage 6B apart from Fire Rat's Robe, and yet I finished 2/2. And now to grind that Extra stage...
Also, Youmu solo is freaking overpowered against anything that has to do with familiars.
(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6010/th000.png)
Never could manage to destroy that last one before the spellcard ran out of life, though. And I haven't survived long enough to test if the familiars are as fragile on higher difficulties (read: normal).
-
They are, but destroying them hardly makes the attack easier. If anything I find it harder until you destroy all but two, which is about as hard to do as capturing the card in the first place. Even on lunatic though Hourai Jewel is quite easy if you're just going for survival.
-
Anyone who doesn't play on Lunatic would agree that First Pyramid (Keine's midboss card) is a piece of cake. However upon a switch to Lunatic it turns into absolute fucking bullshit. The small bullets are static, so I found a safe path to use. I have about a 1/3 cap rate right now, but it'll improve with more practice.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6752
-Start at the right of the "y" in the enemy marker. Keine fires bubbles.
-Get directly on the "n". Everything will pass by you. Keine fires bubbles.
-Two bullets will converge to the left of you. This is just a position marker, get to the left of them.
-Two more bullets will kind of cross over, again to the left. Stay to the immediate left of them, everything will pass by you. Keine fires bubbles.
-Next position marker: two columns of bullets will be on your right. Get in the middle of them.
-Immediately after those bullets pass by you, hurry over to the right. Place yourself to the very right of one specific bullet. This position sucks though because it takes some work to get right. Keine fires bubbles.
-Place yourself directly to the right of "y". You'll have to get away from the last few bullets by slowly moving left.
Seeing as the bullets seem to repeat some patterns, there might be an easier way to do it though.
-
There's an issue with the replay. The download doesn't work.
I've got my a path that works for everyone except Reimu solo, Magic team(though it works with some more unfocused shooting), solo Alice, and solo Yuyuko. Solo Remilia and solo Yukari use a different path though.
Also, Subterranean Animism Stage 4 Hard No Deaths

Pacifist EX Alice.
That took like 18 minutes. The length of her attacks are insane. Her second to last phase lasts for 3 minutes, you have to dodge like 10 waves before it ends, it's crazy.
Also 2 and a half minutes of Cheeto Lasers.
The run was actually perfect until the end of the bouncy icicle phase, where I had to bomb because the bullets don't get cleared and Alice immediately starts her next phase. 2 deaths on laser phase, both with bombs in stock and another on Cheeto Lasers, also with bombs in stock.
I'll upload the run tomorrow so you can also see that bouncy icicle tactic that makes it trivial.
Lunatic of course. And there was MASSSIVE bomb spam, but I actually managed to dodge a few things, including capturing Night bird.
No bombs and then we'll start talking.
-
Whoops, forgot gensokyo doesn't like punctuation in names. Fixed.
-
You have no idea how hard it is to keep my eyes closed, let alone dodge from sound alone (most of the attacks aren't even possible to consistently do this way). I'm the type of person who can't even walk in a straight line with their eyes closed, so the whole ordeal was a constant battle of wills to keep me from flickering open my eyes. :< Besides, the replay is hilarious when you factor in that I never saw what I was doing and still managed to dodge some things.
EDIT: Beat Satori (Reimu A of course) no bombs one death. It's so funny how small the difference is between failing miserably and acing in SA. >_> This was only because Double Death Butterfly gave me nothing but easy waves, landing me my, like, fourth capture of the card ever. Then I had to go and clip a laser on the next card. >_<
-
MarisaA!Patchy's first Spell Card captured at Max Rank. The second Spell Card was almost captured at Max Rank as well; and a lot of fun. Too bad I got 4 ridiculous bubble spray "waves" in a row.

And maybe PoDD Hard and IN Lunatic, but I wouldn't count on either.

AH! HA HA HA! EoSD stage 4 beaten with Marisa A no deaths! :D I managed to scrape a capture of Lava Cromlech. Now I can see if I can capture Sylphae Horn and Agni Radiance at max rank now that I don't have that goal to hold me back.
-
MS lunatic 1cc.... somehow I botched both the recording (didn't notice I had the previous recording preview screen still active so it didn't record anything) and the screenshot (got a black screen instead). brb crying in a corner :'(
One retarded death to Alice with one bomb in stock, two deaths to Yuki/Mai (one with full bombs, gah), captured a not-very-shortened post-midboss stage 5 spam... and then 2D6B vs Yumeko (goddamn streams of DOOM) because that was the best I could do against her, followed by 1D3B vs Shinki. Died to first purple wing phase, one more bomb there, two bombs rather early during Devil's Recitation, captured everything else including the last phase of Devil's Recitation. Finished 1/0, never got anywhere near the 400 point items extend; in fact I only got the 300 point items extend in stage 6.
edit: Mima by the way. also, that makes it all PC-98 games 1cc'ed on lunatic. *puts on Peaceful Romancer*

You see Sapz? You see how impossible this is? I made this JUST to show you how impossible PCB stage 6 is!
...Wait, what? Perfect stage 6?
WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! 0_0
Incidentally, today is the two year anniversary since I beat my first extra stage. Interesting when you think about it.
-
Holy crap.
-
Perfect Stage 6 WHAT !? How did you survive the spam at the beginning ?
And Youmu's spell card ? And EVERY SINGLE attack of Yuyuko except for her first ?
Anyway here's my crappy list :
- Play time : almost four months.
- EoSD : Hard 1cc, Extra clear (captured everything but QED).
- PCB : Normal 1cc, Extra/Phantasm clear (captured everything).
- IN : Hard 1cc, Extra clear, Double Spark NF Timeout, all of Kaguya's last spells captured (plus a loleasy NF NV Youmu-solo Half Past 2), and a bunch of Last Word captures including SFN and Total Purification.
- MoF : Hard 1cc, Extra clear, VoWG 1 death no bombs, History 0/16 which I think is fairly high.
- SA : Normal 1cc, Extra clear, Mt. Ooe / BoWaP Lunatic capture.
- UFO : Normal 1cc, Extra clear (plus a 1-miss Nue fight), and all of Byakuren's spell cards captured.
-
How did you survive the spam at the beginning ?
Let's put it this way: This came as a result of about an hour's worth of grinding. Of this hour, about 15 minutes were of me actually fighting Yuyuko. #^_^
And Youmu's spell card
Static spell card, has a safespot that is impossible not to use once you know about it.
And EVERY SINGLE attack of Yuyuko except for her first

IN Stages 1, 2, and 3 perfected on Normal, all Easy spellcards captured, and Hourai Elixir captured on Normal, all with the Border Team. I'm getting the hang of enemy locations now, so I have a "Time Orb management" template to work with on higher difficulties.
And Krim, why are you so fast?

Ephemerality 137 no-focus lunatic capture (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6758)
Only took 20 or so attempts (record says 1/37, but some of those were timeout attempts). When I figure out what suddenly possessed me to even try it, I'll let you know ....

It took me five months to get from the last attack of a game to a lunatic 1cc, but I finally did it: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6759 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6759)
It's really depressing how this basic level of competence at Touhou boils down to effective resource management more than actual dodging skill, but hey, it's a 1cc, it counts, and I'm glad to get it done.

I've actually been trying this on and off for a while now because it's the only stage in PCB I haven't perfected yet. The stage spam is just so demoralizing.
But this might just give me the inspiration to pull it off! /o/
I recommend Kanako for your next perfect stage 6, Donut, so hop to it! :yukkuri:
-
I've 1DNB'd MoF stage 6 before, and I'd actually be willing to do it if it weren't for Kanako's opener. The attack is just so horrifying I'm never going to get serious about it.

And PCB stage 6 portion isn't absolutely horrifying?
I have less trouble with Kanako's opener than the stage 6 spam.
Also, were you deliberately trying to make "Repository of Hirokawa" difficult?
-
No, that's how I do it every time. ;>_> Also, that spam is right at the beginning. There's a minute between stage start and Kanako's opener.

Figured out the solution to the stage 6 spam in PCB:
SakuyaB
She can fire at both spawn locations simultaneously, significally decreasing the amount of bullets fired.
With her, I have around a 25% chance at surviving the spam.
Edit:
I just "captured" it twice in a row.
-
Captured Fantasy Heaven... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6762)

Thanks Reimu, you trivialised it.

Well, of course. It's no secret that someone with a wide range would have an easier time there. Now the problem is that I think Sakuya is horrible. :V

I'm actually interested in seeing Jaimers accomplish it with Sakuya, if only because that would mean there would be a Reimu, a Marisa, and a Sakuya run for Stage 6 between the three of us.
Also looking over Stage 4 (since it's my last Lunatic stage in PCB to NDNBNBB). Did a perfect Prismriver fight (Lunasa for opener, Lyrica for middle), and the stage is definitely possible, but there's no way in hell I'm doing it without a Lily timeout.

How did you score so high from finishing 1/1? You must be smashing me in terms of stage score...
*downloads replay*

I've gotten over 150,000,000 on a 0/0, which included a death with me running right into Flandre trying to PoC when I wasn't even at full power then wasting 2 bombs in rage at that(which would have been lost anyway since I clipdeathed on the survival).
-
Also looking over Stage 4 (since it's my last Lunatic stage in PCB to NDNBNBB). Did a perfect Prismriver fight (Lunasa for opener, Lyrica for middle), and the stage is definitely possible, but there's no way in hell I'm doing it without a Lily timeout.
Hmm? The post Lily section is absurdly easy once you figure it out. It's much easier to do it normally than to timeout Lily.
Just see it for yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU4J4HW6RQQ)
Maybe you can fulfill the comment's request and do a full Lunasa run?
-
I just 1DNB'ed Orin on Hard. I can't even perfect all of Kaguya's Last Spells in a row on Easy, but I can 1-death Orin on Hard after only a few attempts (Orin only, not counting the stage itself). I even captured the Catwalk for the fourth time tonight in that run. Does anyone else think there's something wrong here?

I captured pretty much every card too, aside from Royal Flare, Maze of Love, Counter Clock, And Then There Will Be None? and Ripples of 495 years-- though in my defense, this was my first time making it to those last two.

Hm, somehow you made it look easier than when Kefit managed to do it. Maybe I'll look into it some more, and I'll look into doing a full Lunasa run too, although I make no guarantees about either one. Dinner and class (baw school) first though.
-
Starting trying UNL Lunatic with Cirno again. Now that I've suddenly realized Sanae's frogs cost no spirit to graze, I can easily beat the first 3 stages no deaths.
Utsuho's Uncontainable Nuclear Dive is fairly trivial as well now, but her Jupiter card or whatever comes after the dive... its the worst thing in the entire run. The ring of suns doesn't hit you in the middle parts but its so weeird and vision-blocking.
Just game-overed on Alice's semifinal card after a sneak-attack giant laser from offscreen, but next time I should be able to win~
[EDIT]UNL LUNATIC YEEEAAAH. I didn't live past Alice's final spell though since I only had the HP to take one hit... thank god you still win anyway.
-
FYI Serafie, "いるか? means "who's there?" :P
THIS IS SO HIDEOUSLY EMBARRASSING
HOW DID I FORGET THAT
;_;
Also, did a random run of SA Hard to see how badly it would go, ended up game overing on the stage portion of S6 because I forgot gapping existed :V
Much better than my last attempt which ended at Mt. Ooe. I...actually didn't have any deaths up until Satori! Then of course I lost four to her because I was too stubborn to bomb.
-
Captured Ageless Obsession (I love you 'Nut), Components of Konpaku and Danmaku Bounded Field in a joke run AT LAST.
What's more amusing is that I did this in the computer lab. FPS drops whenever the boss triggers a spell card, and there were no sound at all.

SA Stage 6 Hard 1DNB run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6767)
After failing to perfect PCB Stage 6 Easy again and not performing at my peak in PCB Extra, I thought I'd play SA in a gamble to lift my spirits. Then this comes up, much to my amazement. My only death was on Hell's Tokamak, and I know I can fix that problem with more practice (for me, it's all about getting used to the trajectories while avoiding them "no vert" style). Despite not being a perfect run, I'd say that this tops my Stage 5 Normal perfect when it comes to skill accomplishment. There's even a lucky dodge right at the end of Nuclear Excursion for your viewing pleasure.
SA is officially my favorite Touhou game now. Being able to effectively measure my improvement and perform this well with legit practice means SA is doing something right in terms of its gameplay. None of the other three games I've played can come close to saying that.

EZ Mode: One of the difficulties :V
Similar to the Extra run that I did, I guess.
And link (http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/Ne/so/65169&key=eosd) to the patch, which contains the Extra mod / hack, and the other difficulties as well. Same rules of "common sense" applies with all patches; backup or have an installation CD on-hand in case something goes wrong. And have a "clean" game.
EDIT: Probably check the readme that comes with it.

Succes! After a respectable amount of attempts, I finally did it!
PCB perfect stage 6 lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6775) With SakuyaB of course.
Am I the only one who finds "Resurrection Butterfly" harder than "Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana"?
With this I've perfected every single stage in PCB, including Extra and Phantasm. So uhh...
PCB Perfect All Clear! ;D

I tried out the EoSD Ultra hack. There's no way I'd ever 1cc that even with tool assistance. I did manage to beat 3 of the stages(in practice, not the actual game) without any assistance and could probably do stage 1 as well. Stage 2, Stage 3, and Stage 5. But they were all complete bombspam.
Edit: Stage 4 also done in practice and recorded. Maybe I'll record the others. Only Stage 1 left to do since stage 6 isn't humanly possible.

I tried to perfect SA Stage 4 Hard this morning. Didn't get it, but something happened that I thought was impossible: I've actually gotten better at reading Double Black Death Butterfly. I still only capture it rarely (2 or 3 times during today's session), but some aspects of the bullet trajectories are indeed "learnable". That doesn't necessarily mean it's any better of a card, but still.
Then I gave Lunatic a try. Worked my way up to Stage 4 (I didn't feel like spending much time on the Lunatic version yet), spending surprisingly less time on Stage 3 than I thought I would. Of course I used continues. No way I'm 1cc'ing much of SA Lunatic yet.
Anyway, after that, I spent some time to practice Stage 1 Lunatic, and got this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6788) after a lot of grinding (I blame Kisume's sudden difficulty jump for delaying it). My first Lunatic perfect, and only two months after picking up Touhou. Practicing the stage also gave me some insight into why people hate Yamame's opener, though I wonder if that's because they're just not doing it right.

At Peerless Wind God though, I'm very impressed at how you are able to do anything but pray to whatever you hold dear for success.

That's kind of a low score, but congrats.
Just 13cc'd SA Lunatic. First credit got to Yugi's last card then I had bullets spawned on top of me since I wasn't expecting that. Next credit got to stage 4. Satori and Orin didn't take too many credits. Mostly it was the stages. 6 credits for Utsuho.
This game is nowhere near as BS as MoF. I can't even clear that one with continues and in SA I can at least see how the stages might be doable without bombing. It does have a few BS spots as well though. Got a lot of practice to do though.
-
PoFV lunatic Tewi 1cc. Replay bugged on me, though. Died three times to Shikieiki, got the 70m extend no more than five seconds before losing my last life in the third round. Lucky~
Tewi is actually pretty awesome.
LIES unless you like faceslamming spirits
Only Yuka and Youmu remaining, but lol me doing anything with these two.
edit to avoid double post: HRtP lunatic no bombs Makai 6cc. One continue before Elis, one vs. Elis, one before Sariel, two vs. Sariel. From YuugenMagan onwards survival is a nightmare, and scoring is non-existant.... meh.

SA Stage 5 Hard 2DNB run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6812)
My best performance on the stage yet, despite the two deaths. One was at the end of the first pellet hell section, the other during Orin's second spellcard (I fell into an old habit and trapped myself; I'll be sure to pay more attention in the future). All of a sudden, this seems remotely doable. I doubt it'll actually happen for a while, but you never know.
If you consider each level's stage and main boss as individual sections, I've now perfected or 1DNB'ed each section of all the Hard Mode stages. Perhaps I should try for that Hard 1cc soon? I'll be free to use bombs and gapping there, at least.
-
Yesterday I failed my Hard 1cc at Reflowering (actually I rammed into Youmu three times and went into S6 with too few lives).
Then all of a sudden, I did a 1-miss Yuyuko Lunatic. I went and captured every of her spell cards except for Divine Soul, Reflowering and teal-knives. Yeah, Demon Dance, Butterfly Delusion, and Sumizome Perfect Blossom -Bloom- first successful capture, in the same run. I stopped breathing when Border of Life kicked in, which resulted in a clipdeath at Reflowering.
That means Kaguya is the hardest final boss now ? And I can finally do a Lunatic 1cc ?

I just no hit the entire thing, dodging everything pixel perfectly in dense waves of bullets.
If you watch the replay, you would think it was TAS'd.
This was quiet possibly my best run of PoFV ever.
I didn't die in stage 6 and I won against Shiki on the second round, something I have never done before.

Can PoFV replays even get cheesed? It's not like you can even mark them when uploading, and I don't see any cheese ones on their site.
-
Probably it's more of a "nobody really cares about PoFV" situation.
And you also can't mark your PoFV replays as NF or NV when uploading, by the way. >:(
Won a lunatic match round vs. Yumemi with Kana. Partial RAGE as well because Yumemi was at one heart, no bombs and using up her gauge with an ultra when she won the third round after I made some moronic mistakes early on.

I perfected the stage portion of SA Stage 5 Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6831) for the first time. It seems like every time I practice this level some, I notice how much better I'm getting at plain dodging. I finally figured out the optimal times to make cutbacks for the second pellet hell section, something that's been a thorn in my side lately. I also confirmed that one can indeed stream both of the orb+wisp sections on Hard (i.e. the parts just before midboss and boss Orin that people usually go pacifist on), though I've found it safest to stop shooting momentarily as I cutback in the second one (this is to prevent "oddly aimed" rows of bullets from messing me up). You'll see what I mean in the replay.
Now if only I can stop dying on Orin like a n00b...
-
I think I should stop playing IN on Easy mode... Just did a quick playthrough with Yuyuko solo and ended 8/3 (should have been 8/8, but I derped into one of the bullets during the rabbit section of 6B), as well as capturing every single spellcard (except for Kaguya's second, fourth, and final Last Spells, which I am absolutely horrible at).
-
I did it. I captured Complete Clarification again !
At one power.

PoFV lunatic 1cc with Youmu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6842)
Youmu is awesome against Shiki. Shiki's speciality is creating walls, but Youmu can just cut the walls away. :D
Defeated Komachi on the first round and beat Shiki on the second again.
With this, I've 1cc'd lunatic with all of the 14 characters.
PoFV lunatic all clear \o/

I just had a facepalm "duh you moron" moment and figured out how to make Radiant Treasure Gun a LOT easier.
Iji-Donut: Ooh, Radiant Treasure Gun is so hard! The bullets twist and turn in such ways that it's impossible to consistently beat it in the corners! *cries moe tears*
Me: Hey Donut, you ever consider staying in the center?
Iji-Donut: Sniff...sniff...huh?
Me: Yeah, the bullets are much easier to dodge in the center, and you kill Syou at about the same time while upping your survival rate.
/me looks up and thinks for a moment
Iji-Donut: Eh heh heh... ;^_^
Cue me capturing Radiant Treasure Gun, Syou's second non-spell and Vajra in the same run.

Worst? Stages were very simple, I could just stream all the bullets and never screw up with Reimu C :D
Here's the replay anyway.
http://upload.namelezz.net/downloader.php?file=13225_th10_01.rar
Also, I got to the final boss many times with Reimu A, B, and Marisa C, but the last spell was just too much for me. With Reimu C I managed to rarely screw up in the stages so I arrived to the last spell in the game with 2 lives. I finally did it. :D
-
Defeated Komachi on the first round
I wish some of Youmu's ghost blob thingies would spawn on top of Komachi for me too so she would die in less than two minutes in the first round. /parsee
Either way. I'm not sure I'm even capable of 1cc'ing PoFV with Yuka and Youmu. I tried so many times with Yuka, so many times. :'(
-
ReimuA is even better for the stages than ReimuC and does more damage unless you can shotgun with ReimuC which I don't recall ever being able to do on Hard.
But I wasn't able to 1cc it with ReimuA but I learned the stages enough that I eventually did it with ReimuB. Could probably do it with some other shot types, but I don't feel like trying.
-
I just captured Aura of Justice thanks to me fitting in between one of the walls. :V Anyone who says that Sanae/Marisa can do anything Reimu can needs to try that.
Also...I think I've figured out Vajra. o_o I've always known how to do it, but it wasn't until today that I've finally understood why Baity doesn't find it hard. It's an odd feeling for sure.
-
I can only say that about the Easy and Normal versions. But then I can't even go against the Hard and Lunatic ones yet.

SA Stage 6 Hard no deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6856)
Used one bomb on Giga Flare because I took a risk/experiment that ended up backfiring. Giga Flare's been particularly rough on me tonight, though for some reason I can't rage about it at all (unlike, say, DBDB). I guess it's because the way the spell's designed, there's always a bit of room to escape, even if it's on the other side of the screen. So it falls solely on me to get through properly.
Nuclear Excursion was also nastier than usual today, but I've been pulling off some clutch dodges on that one, managing several more captures in the process. I'm almost beginning to believe that I'm reaching another level of play, as I'm thinking on the fly a lot more comfortably now. I tell ya, I'm not far from perfecting this stage.
-
PCB Hard 1CCed with SakuyaB, my second hard 1CC.
-
Perfect PoFV lunatic Sakuya vs. Merlin. :o
Of course, Merlin is among the most hittable characters, and Sakuya among the best to hit with, but still.
-
I just beat Syou no bombs 2 deaths. o_o The problem? One of those two deaths was on Syou's third spell card. The other was on Radiant Treasure Gun, which I feel confident at putting as her hardest spell card now.
-
PoFV lunatic match mode. Reimu 2x0 Komachi.
edit: and won one round vs. Shiki with Reimu after hitting her once or twice pretty much every round over a bunch of matches. This is certainly doable.
-
It's amazing what a slight drop in rank does to Marisa A Patchy. :V I failed to death bomb on the books, which I assume made the rank by Patchy slightly less, and you know how it went? I captured every spell card except for Lava Cromlech, and used a bomb on the second non-directional laser mostly to ensure I fight Agni Radiance at a higher rank than out of necessity.
-
Captured Kanako's 3rd and final cards on Hard.
Now if only I could capture that stupid Source of Rains card.
I had cleared the final card without dying or bombing twice before that just to die while the spell was clearing.
-
I captured Straw Doll Kamikaze Lunatic in SA. It isn't hard when you know what to do. That leaves the two other cards and i don't think a capture of them are far away.
Marisa's hit-box is crippling however. Due to the micro-dodging that is often required at Lunatic, the bigger hit-box makes clipping much more likely. Combined with weak attack power and a bomb that barely give you any invincibility makes MarisaA a pretty poor character.
Too bad i have to use Marisa for her recollection cards but that's how things are when there isn't no spell practice.
-
So I gave UFO extra a run after not touching it for like a month.
Bam! Perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6869)
No UFO's summoned either.
Didn't see this one coming. ;^_^
-
Almost had a no-death run of the PCB demo on normal (one stupid death on Alice's next-to-last card). Good sign for when the full version shows up in the mail later this week ... looks like PCB's going to be my first normal 1cc.
Of course, I said the same thing about IN two months ago .....

I hope you know that the demo differs quite a bit from the full version, with some attacks being altered and some being added or removed entirely.

I'll have you know that PCB Stages 4, 5, and 6 are on an entirely different level than the first three. You'll probably be in for a shocker at just how big this gap is.
-
I can consistently 1cc SA and UFO Normal which are considered the 2 hardest Normals, yet I can't consistently 1cc PCB. I've had runs where I get to the stage 4 boss with 7 lives just to end up clearing 0/0 or game overing on the final spell.
Hell, I've 1cc'd IN Hard both paths, MoF Hard, LLS Hard, and SA Hard, and gotten close on IN Lunatic. Yet I can't consistently beat PCB.
-
On that note, I just did PCB Normal no deaths. Not a perfect run (failed 3 cards) but utterly trashed my high score before end-game bonuses, which was pretty awesome.
-
Just did a very sloppy 2cc of Flanchan.zip.
Died SO many times with bombs in stock, if I hadn't it would probably be a 1cc.
After that I went into spellpractice and discovered some interesting things:
The difficulty of this game is very similar to UFO in that everyone thinks it's the hardest thing ever, but that's only because they don't know what the fuck.
Found consistent ways to deal with every spellcard I had difficulty with, except the second phase of the black hole card, which is garbage. ("Dodge this you punk!", is actually extremely easy! :V)
Still have no idea how this TNT gimmick is suppose to work though. I sometimes manage to throw one, but then it doesn't seem to do anything. ???
-
Beat IN Easy A and B with Scarlet Team, Netherworld Team, Reimu, Yukari, and Marisa, and A with Alice. Also got my first Hourai Elixir capture, and beat PoFV Easy with Reimu for a quick change of pace. If I keep going at this rate, I'll get to play on Normal soon~
-
SA Extra clear! Didn't manage to capture Genetics at all, but oh well - feels good to have finished that off, either way.
That just leaves UFO, which I'm sure will be interesting.

Yes upload it, definitely~ And congradulations, you TASer procake.
Oh, and did you capture any of the IN-Last-Spell-esque stuff? Like, the ones with disabled bombs and the spells stopping w/o killing you when you get hit. Because those looked so cool but the video I saw of flanchan.zip only lasted like 3 seconds against them.

Incredibly derp failures on all of them.
I did capture Sakuya's last spell in spellparactice though, probably include that as a bonus.
Screw it, I'm going to capture them all and perhaps make a separate video.
The 1cc Will have to wait until tomorrow though, it's very late right now.

That sound test piece is pretty nice though, I think I'll go with that.

Mmm... probably right about the McRoll thing. Especially since I forgot that Flandre is only a small part of flanchan.zip, despite it having flan in the name.
Also found another song (looks like the same composer) that is possibly more awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqgwQQfHe1Q&feature=channel

UFO Lunatic no-bomb 1cc (ReimuB) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6875), ended with 0.0 lives in stock. Perfect stage 4. Died SIX times to Shou. I can't believe I still made it going into stage 6 with no lives. :V

Welp. Guess Baity has to do this now (what happened to him anyway?). You should try doing LLS lunatic no bombs. That would be quite a sight.
-
I think I might have, maybe, have found a somewhat effective way of probably further increasing my chances of eventually winning a match vs. lunatic Shikieiki with Reimu. Certainly looks stupid when it doesn't work, though.
And hey, I did win seven rounds without even figuring that something out! If these weren't about one hour apart from each other over two days, things would be even more encouraging.
edit: obviously it doesn't work :V

Of course, I also believe attaining world peace is not harder than UFO lunatic, so :V
-
So, my question on Last Words in IN made me realize that the only LWs I've actually captured are Yukari's and Sakuya's. This made me feel a bit silly.
So, over the next two hours, I successfully captured every single LW except Alice's, Remilia's, and Yuyuko's, all with Magic Team (Reimu's and Marisa's were done no-focus). I should upload these to YouTube as a Last Word collection :V
I'm still absolutely stumped on how to do Remilia's, though. I know Alice's is static and Yuyuko's is kinda batshit/luck-based, but Remilia's card just makes me think HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE everytime I last more than ten seconds :(
-
how to do Remilia's
There are other ways to do it, but I always reposition to the same spot in the VERY CENTER of Remilia's spam, as to stand still between the centermost pairs of knives. Correct as needed when you see the incoming wave (often you'll be just a bit off), and go around the last part of each wave in a roughly circular motion to reduce the amount of adjusting as much as possible - when the next wave comes you'll not need more than a tap, IF you're not already at the right spot.
When you get the hang of it it's rather easy, really. Yesterday I was trying to time it out at 90fps :V
-
how to do Remilia's
Also, I believe the side the bubble bullet wave is on alternates between left and right each time. As long as you don't try to dodge on the side will have the wave on it, you shouldn't have as much trouble as before.
-
This isn't really an accomplishment, but there's nowhere better to put this, and it's a pretty damn rare occasion.
I just found a video of a UFO lunatic 1cc that came out only a few days after the game that isn't Japanese and looks completely legitimate. :O
EDIT: Wait, never mind, his profile says and indicates he's from Japan, and just put the comments in English for some reason. :V

REIMU 2x0 SHIKIEIKI

Someone should go bring that guy who made flanchan.zip over here. You know, this person. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=175)
-
A good half of Flanchan's cards isn't harder than your average extra. The other half is mostly bullshit hard but not unreasonable once you learn the tricks (for example the reverse/tilted Ancient Duper ripoff one, or that one which is 100% backshots with "fake" bullets coming from Flandre to throw you off). These are for the most part doable without much resource expenditure.
And then there's In The Eye of Destruction which always made me use multiple continues in spell practice prompting me to give up long ago.
By the way Jaimers, if you can get the Unseasonable Butterfly Storm timeout which I also kinda gave up on, I'd appreciate it - that thing is haunting me, but I know it's doable.
-
Capped Remilia and Alice's LWs! Only Yuyuko left now :V
I've also been trying to time out Ancient Duper, but I keep getting clipped at the 10-second mark. :(

SA Stage 6 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6879)
Fiiiiiinally. This was the first time in ages that I perfected everything up to, and including, Giga Flare, and fortunately I didn't choke on anything after that. And yes, I have choked on Subterranean Sun once. It felt horrible...
I only wish I could feel more motivated to try that Hard 1cc, but I really hate having to retry Stage 1 over and over and over again, all because I make really stupid mistakes on the first two stages.
-
Did another Flanchan 1cc.
wait WHAT?
you actually did it? i can't believe it... everyone who played it complained to me that it was impossible... but it seems not.
congratulations.
-
wasn't there a glitch with rumia which allowed you to cheese it?
seriously though, screw Touhou and move onto CAVE
-
there was, but i think i removed it.
however, abusing the bug is cheating and therefore, if you used that glitch, it wouldn't count.
i had to add extra 1ups, bombs and those c4s to make it playable :(
there will be a new version out some time, though. i hope. maybe next year
if you are in the mood, name the video "HARDEST GAME [BOSS] EVER!!!"
to show those mushihimefags what real difficulty is xD
-
wait WHAT?
you actually did it? i can't believe it... everyone who played it complained to me that it was impossible... but it seems not.
congratulations.
I actually find it pretty easy at the moment. :V
The only cards I can't capture AT ALL are the "in the eye of destruction" and the black hole one. The rest I can capture pretty consistently.
The best I did for the eye one was 1DNB and the black hole 3 bombs.
Rumia's C4 trivialises so many attacks, it's pretty crazy.
I caught Sakuya's last spell, so it's not impossible to capture. :V
This stage is crazy fun. Hat's off to you. ;)
-
the black hole one
. (http://www.mediafire.com/?nmhmdzntzyi)
-
yeah it's not that hard after playing it a few months later
I could probably 1cc it if I could be arsed to memorize the stage.
-
I 4CC'd it just now.
Yay me! :V
...D:
-
. (http://www.mediafire.com/?nmhmdzntzyi)
WAIT WHAT
The black bullets don't have hitboxes!?
And here I was trying to dodge everything coming from up and down. ;>_>
Wel, guess what just got turned from a resource eating monster to trivial stuff.
10/3 clear, here I come.
-
WHAT TEH...
Now perfect it
-
Sadly I can't get Flanchan to work. It just freezes when I get to a midboss or the boss forcing me to press escape, then it just skips it. Same thing if I try the scripts individually.
-
3CC'd now.
Maybe your 1cc isn't as cheese-worthy as I thought.

Another whim, another ReimuA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6880), this time for PCB. Some parts are kind of embarassing due to being half-asleep while doing this; many, many deaths with bombs in stock and I finished with around 850 point items. :V Still, Stage 6 was very nice (and very close) - entered 0/2 and cleared 0/0.
These are much more fun than they were for my original 1ccs, probably because I'm not under pressure to clear them anymore... maybe I'll just take it easy and do some random all-shot-type clears for a while~
CAVE etc
If you haven't already, go play Dangun Feveron. You will love it. :V
-
I have them, it still gives me errors about them.

...is capturing Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana supposed to be this easy? I'm even using the Magic Team ???
Oh well.
All Last Words captured!

I think you need the Concealed the Conclusion one. Put it in the lowercase lib folder.
I just 1cc'd Billy part 1 on lunatic... yay?
lol impossible attacks. Used COMMANDO RUMIA though, who I think might be a bit overpowered for this stage. :V
Discovered something interesting though. On the final spell there's a spot where you can just stand still the entire time and absolutely nothing will hit you. :V
-
Well yeah, Magic Team kind of trivializes that card (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6882).
Well I was doing it normally, not the cheap way that I totally tried out after watching that ahahaha that's so amazing. My first capture was like, my ninth try ever against that card.
EDIT: ...what. I just tried timing out SFN and got it down to like 45 seconds on my fourth try. What
-
I decided on a whim to try PCB Lunatic after I managed 1cc it on hard a few days ago. I managed to get to Human God Sword before I game-overed, my score was a bit over 500 million, and I probably could have gotten to Yuyuko if I hadn't had a few stupid deaths in stage 3. I may 1cc PCB Lunatic before I manage to 1cc most Hards.
-
4cc my first time trying it. Should have been a 3cc but I died with full stock of bombs like 5 or more times.
Even managed to capture Release of the Demon and Sakuya's last spell.

Perfect Cherry Blossom Easy 1cc~ Default 3 lives!
1st Touhou 1cc (heck, first "arcade" 1cc ever in my life)! I wish I could've gotten my first one on Normal at least, but this felt so good considering how bad things went on Stage 6 and Yuyuko's fight. I sat in shock for a good 3 seconds after R.B. 10% exploded.
So long in the making...... ;_;
-
Survived the "harder" waves of VoWG for 35 seconds. Yay ? :V
I'm still not sure on how to do it consistently, though. I started from high up, then back down looking for walls or gaps, and reposition myself / gtfo. Doesn't work all the time, sadly.
-
I just caught Cirno's arcanum "Roaring God of Ice". :V
The only card I haven't caught now is "In the Eye of Destruction".

Fantasy Seal -Fader- NF Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6884). I'd be surprised if this thing doesn't get cheesed tomorrow, really.

Just did it again~
Flanchan.zip 1cc. This time ending with MAX lives, which I'm pretty sure overflowed at some point. :V
Did the stage portion no deaths, which is a lot harder than you may think. My first death was on Meiling's first spellcard. (wtf)
Have yet to count the resources used, but I think it was pretty good.
The replay didn't screw up this time! \o/
Not that it would have been a drama if it didn't, as I was recording the whole time. That shit from last time will not happen again. :<
-
Just did it again~

So you're uploading it to Youtube? I wanna see this, as I've only seen one video of Flanchan ever.

Absolutely. It probably won't be done today though.
I'm also planning on making a bonus video featuring things like last spells and whatnot.
-
You've captured everything other than Eye of Destruction? Either I'm missing something about basically every card in the stage, or efficient TNT use (and by "efficient use" I mean "remembering it exists") makes a huge fucking difference. I can only think of two cards that I've captured, being Cirno's first and Meiling's last, and other than those, I can't even begin to parse much else, never mind keeping my wits about me long enough for a capture, especially Flan's cards. Merry Go Round? Black Hole? Armageddon? (I know I'm forgetting another retarded front/back attack card other than these three.) Fuck that noise.
-
I'll give you a hint: There are a lot of static patterns.
The others are devising strategies and doing something I like to call "TNT chaining".
Bombing or dying fucks it up though, as you have to wait 20 seconds before you can use the TNT again.

UFO Lunatic no-bomb 1cc (ReimuB) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6875), ended with 0.0 lives in stock. Perfect stage 4. Died SIX times to Shou. I can't believe I still made it going into stage 6 with no lives. :V
Welp. Guess Baity has to do this now.
...I knew I forgot to do something. I've been caught up with doing "this and that" for the past month and a half, and I forgot to actually get around to doing this I promised myself I would a few months ago
. Well, I should be able to pull it off. Once I re-practice everything up to a "decent" standard. I don't trust myself on Stages 2, 3 and 6 seeing as they're by far my worst from the looks of my other runs that I've done so far.
That, and I'm still not feeling 100% :|
/me *hack* *wheeze* *cough* *sputter* *etc.*
I just perfected EoSD EZ Stage 5 stage portion. Took some thinking to do though, and I use some rather "cowardly" tactics in the process (though, there's plenty of "Anti-Cheat" in the stages / bosses anyway so it's fair game I suppose :V). It would've been cool to perfect more of Stage 5 (read: all of Boss!Sakuya) but obviously, RNG hates me. Oh well, video coming up.
...and I need to work something out for Stage 4. It's... abnormally hard with ReimuA. Dodging curving bullets faster than Reimu's unfocus speed is really, really difficult. The worst part is that there is only a partial pattern I can follow against it, unlike say, Yumeko.
And then, then... Stage 6.
EDIT: Screw it, this Stage 4 performance is good enough; I can't work out "Mercury Poison". So I timed it out in the video :V
EDIT 2: Now to work out how to do this variant of "Q.E.D."...
-
That EZ Mode looked more possible than what I've seen in the other "Ultra" videos. Is it the same as the one you gave me ?
-
Well, here's the Flanchan 1cc at long last!
Enjoy! :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rYM8yGtAso Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhluWpYmocI Part 2
The bonus video will be ready later this day.
EDIT:
Or maybe not. I'm still figuring out this music dub thing. >_<
-
I'd probably be more inclined to do Flanchan if the stage portion wasn't so long. It just gets incredibly boring after a while :/
(it's not like I'm actually capable of 1ccing Flanchan but still :V)
-
That EZ Mode looked more possible than what I've seen in the other "Ultra" videos. Is it the same as the one you gave me ?
I compared, and EZ mode and ultra are two different things. I think it'd be accurate to call EZ mode "ultra lite."
So obviously Baity must get ultra next. :3 Never mind that many of the patterns are impossible for human reflexes (Killing Doll surrounding you on all sides before the flip, lol Thousand Needle Mountain).

Flanchan 1cc :P
A certain someone's replay helped greatly. Got it on the first try after seeing it.
Oh yeah, I didn't use explosives, either. I use a controller, and don't have "C" mapped anywhere. Finished 0/2
-
Stages 4 and 5 are up.
Now to run my head a few thousand times against Stage 6.

I've just found out that explosives are C lol
also Baity, 1cc Hibachi.

Made it up to stage 5 of MoF Lunatic for the first time on one credit earlier, not counting MarisaB who I did it with a while back. Still got a lot of work to do.
Captured Momizi in practice but forgot to save a replay. Now if only I could capture those post-Momizi BS Walls, but I haven't gotten close and I don't have a strategy for it. I'd still bomb in an actual run though cause it's good for score.
-
Finally!
My first 1cc is SA on normal *-*.
After many tries and a passing through hell on Orin, I did it *-*!
-
3rd Flanchan 1cc.
Jaimers did the impossible. He's also proven that it is anything but.
I get destroyed by ANY game's Lunatic, yet I can handle Flanchan just fine.
A Normal/sometimes Hard player can almost consistently 1cc Flanchan.
All you Lunatic players can do it, too.
-
Speaking of Flanchan I have something (http://www.mediafire.com/?qztyim1mmmm) which was just kinda lying around for over two months.
sure, absolute luckshit, but still
edit: "captured" Patchy's bonus madarin duck background coloured circle bullet spam thing spell through extensive C4 abuse. :V

I do. They're next to useless on bosses.

Make sure you don't waste them too early during a boss level so you have full bombs when you're down to your last life; only then bombs will damage bosses.
I, Donut and Baity have uploaded lunatic 1ccs to Youtube; I imagine you already watched these, but if you don't, do it. I couldn't clear easy even with infinite continues before watching Donut's Jigoku 1cc; no more than ten runs later I had my own lunatic 1cc.

After 474 shots, I finally managed to beat scene 5-5 in Shoot the Bullet. And it even was an attempt where I didn't have to rely on luck by rushing through clouds of bullets and hoping that nothing would hit me, as opposed to many of my other ones.

SA Stage 2 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6903)
That's the easy stages out of the way. Everything else left in the game, not so much (fucking DBDB...). Oh well, at least Parsee became legit on Lunatic. In a claustrophobic sort of way, that is.
-
...are you sure you didn't TAS this? Because oh my god okay that just looks insane D:
Nope.
A lot of luck was involved in capturing some of those cards.
I asked myself "why am I not dead yet!?" like 10 times during Cirno's Arcanum. :V
-
I just captured Eternal Meek with ReimuA. Why is it this spellcard barely posed a threat? Does it randomly choose how difficult it wants to be. I do of course know of rank but it was just in practice mode.

I CAPTURED ULTRA MODE'S QED.
HOLY CRAP.

Finally beat Komeiji~ And I only used one bomb on Subterranean Rose, too!
So proud, but I couldn't save the replay since the pivot program doesn't quite work properly. =/ I've tried the extra stage something like 75 times, according to my spellcard data. It's about time. That was the fourth time I got to her last card, as well. <3~
-

Timed out Throwing Mt. Togakushi on Lunatic mode. Pretty fun spellcard, that.
-
My bit is nothing compared to 1cc Lunatic and such, but I made it to Remilia on Normal:D At my rate, I'll be able to beat her without using a Continue on her :V
I hope I used the ":V" thing right....

Ah, don't feel inadequate by us lunatics. We're supposed to inspire, not intimidate.
And you know, there's a post preview feature to see if you did it right. :V

Anywaaaay, got to Scarlet Gensokyo on Lunatic with 3 bombs. I died on the first bullet, but it still feels like an accomplishment since I died with full bombs in stock twice before this. I should be able to do this!
-
Same thing for me except on Hard.
Meh, I'd rather try to 1cc the 4 Lunatics that I actually have a chance on before finishing up the Hard modes.
Oh, and Baity, where's a link to the EZ patch? Ultra isn't very fun, but that actually does look fun.

Can't get the thing to patch, even with the files named correctly. Please don't tell me I need to repatch Ultra since I deleted it to patch on a clean copy of EoSD.
-
All that's required is a version of EoSD that's patched to version 1.02h .
Patching itself is an easy task; cut / copy "scarlet.exe" into the folder and double-click.

So what do the three "hosei" patches do ?

Very interesting questions.
First off:
So what do the three "hosei" patches do ?
Correction patches (based on translating the folder name). For what? I have no idea. It doesn't say in the readme either.
Question: does this require a Japanese version of EoSD? I deleted mine because it would never open :V
Not at all; you can use a version that's patched to English (or any other language), just make sure that you have a "working" Japanese .exe as well. What I mean by that is your copy should be able to run "normally" looking something like this:
(http://i10.servimg.com/u/f10/12/80/32/92/th/untitl20.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=370&u=12803292)
before it's legible for patching without any issues. I have no idea how (un?)confusing that sounds, but it's the best words I can use to describe it.
-
I just beat Remilia on Normal without using a Continue on her! :toot: *does a happy dance and gives everyone cookies and $20* I was so scared and nervous, but I get to her final spell, Red Magic, I'm on my last life 2 bombs left, I nearly get hit and I panicbomb, but I managed to beat her without using a Continue on her :D
Now I just have to beat Normal without use of a continue in general :V
-
I tried to score for the first time in my life, and got 78 million points in MS extra.
*waits for Baity to tell me I suck*
-
MS... Mystic Square? Grats Donut :D I don't think I could get that much score on EoSD for a while :V
-
Oh, I'm notorious for not being able to score, I'm sure it's nothing special. In fact, here's the high score board:
149,798,630 - Mima - C - Heartbeam
137,884,910 - Mima - C - BaitySM
134,301,850 - Mima - C - J Lau
84,705,770 - Mima - C - SFKhoa
81,026,400 - Reimu - C - Djinova
>_> To be honest the only real "scorey" thing I did was graze whore the second phase to get to 999 graze.
-
...I should probably go and beat that old score of mine. It's been sitting there with it's imperfect smug at me for a long time, because I didn't know how to do the pre-boss waves back then. But alas! Time constraints.
Donut, there is one very simple fundamental rule to score really, really high in MS Extra. It's a really easy rule to follow (well, not completely easy in this case due to a certain mechanic of the game); even you should know what it is. Because you've done it time and time again (I see it in your replays sometimes; hint hint), and I've said time and time again it's a scoring technique. You know what I'm taking about... right? :V
Though, grazing does contribute a fair bit to your score as well.
-
I'm slow dear, out with it. I might add that I was using Yuka though.
EDIT: Mima in HRtP beaten no bombs no deaths. Shame I wasn't recording, because that was a pretty cool run. I do wish it were possible to do infinite retries at max rank though. :(
-
I'm slow dear, out with it. I might add that I was using Yuka though.
Here let me lend you a hand:
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Mystic_Square:_Gameplay
This may come as a shock, but if you want to actually score competently, the first step would probably be to actually research how the damn scoring system works. >_>
-
A bit of an accomplishment for me, as well as an oddity. The EoSD Normal run I beat earlyer, I used 2 continues total. So I thought I may as well I tried my luck on Hard and see how I do. I then freaking managed to get to Remilia using 3 continues, and a 4th continue at the very end of Scarlet Meister :V
I don't know if this is skill or luck, or both... but I am happy:D *hands out cookies*

What, HD isn't good enough? ??? What does that do that's so special?

It optimizes the video you're uploading to actually use all these extra pixels HD has to offer, that's what it does.
For comparison:

sir donut's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7AJi-qnzRk&fmt=22)
in "detail": HD is 1280x720, the setup I copypasted up there makes the video as large as possible by first putting it at the highest possible non-distorted resolution, then adding borders to the sides where it's shorter to fill the rest.

/brag (http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt263/BaitySM/ms.png)
Anyway, going back to the "fundamental rule"... as I said before it's a simple one to follow. That is, (fun spoiler) before ending each and every (well, there are some exceptions due to a somewhat constant number of bullets on-screen) of EX-Alice's Attack Phases, wait for the largest number of bullets to appear on-screen, then end the Attack Phase (note that you will have to approach this cautiously, as there is almost no marker indicating the end and start of each attack). Doing this makes more bullets turn into more Point Items. I'm sure you can guess what the effect of doing that is. Or in short, aim for the largest Bullet Clear Bonus. The rest of your score (Graze mostly) revolves all around this as well; look at the end of stage score calculations
.
Of course, using Yuka means that every time you die / bomb, your score potential drops faster than a two cent- AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
-
Oh, I knew that. Sadly, I have the worst judgement in the world when it comes to that. For example, on EX Alice's fifth phase, I know that once the health bar turns purple it's about to end, so I shot a bit more and stopped shooting. The remaining bullets Yuka fired after I let go of the fire button ended the phase with about 20 bullets on screen. >_<
-
Captured Murasa's survival card in an uhh ... no bombs run ?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6924
Had a few haxdodges during the stage portion as well :V
-
IN Normal 1cc with Scarlet Devil Team. Man, Sakuya is a really bad player character to use. :V
What I'm more surprised about is that I captured Tele-Mesmerism. So unexpected.
-
But Donut, scoring in MS isn't any complex at all is it? Isn't it just a matter of not dying or bombing (which is of course, not too simple)?
----
Btw, nothing remarkable but i pulled another Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1cc. Sanae went horrible though. Sadly i also died to Aya's final spellcard. Pretty embarrasing.
-
Random SA Hard run to prove I don't rely on Yukari to solve all my problems, so playing as Reimu B.
Died as Yamame exploded. Choose to go on.
Stage 2 perfect.
Stage 3 was a disaster. I died about 3 or 4 times.
Stage 4 went well until Pandemonium made me bomb about 3 times and Satori then body-slammed me during Labyrinth because I was too slow.
Stage 5, started with no lives in stock. SA Stage 5 w/ Orin starting with no lives. I'm screwed, right?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6931
Guess all the Lunatic practice paid off. Small Demon's Revival also features the absolute closest dodge I've ever had. I'm quite chuffed I made it through. :)
-
Zombie Touhou Rule #32: Enjoy the little things.
tHRtP: Perfect Shyngyoku.
Really needed that smile tonight.
EDIT: SHould've quit while I was ahead....
EDIT2: There, again. I feel redeemed. Sleep.
-
Managed to perfect SA Stage 1 finally. No replay though as it was during a failed run. Also perfected stage 2 in practice while trying to search for a specific spot for the post midboss Parsee stuff. Took a few tries to find it, but I was able to do it a few times in a row at least, so it seems safe enough.
Yamame's opener is getting a little easier, but I still usually end up bombing it. Parsee's last 2 cards occasionally mess me up, but not often.
Time to go grind Yugi's or Satori's stage.
-
SA extra clear!! ;D
That wraps up all >PC98 extra clears.
Now that I think about it, it was actually quite a nice run. Stage part was shit, but I can't remember dying on any of her spell cards (1 death on one of sanae's I think) reached Subterranean rose for the 2nd time, with 4 lives. Lost all of them :V
But now I'm all out of extra stages :'(
-
But now I'm all out of extra stages :'(

Made it to Yuakri's final-final card! Unfortunately I clipped the first wave + I didn't memorize any of it, Oops.

(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5395/thrtpe3cc.jpg)
This less than 30mins after a 9cc (0-1-2-5).
Maybe could've been 2cc if I didn't accidentally start bombing Kongarra with a life in stock. >_<
-
SA Hard 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6947)
Yatta, I say! For once, the game didn't crash when I entered Stage 6 with many lives (and I stress "many"). That was arguably the main thing standing in the way of this 1cc, aside from me needing to play on a good day. I still don't know why it was crashing, but I'm not really willing to test it further (unless it starts crashing on Lunatic). Still, my first Hard 1cc! Woooooo! Now I can go through the rest of Lunatic with conviction.

I think I've just figured out the mindset necessary to consistently beat Byakuren's second non-spell. That's cool I guess.

I must be getting better at UFO Extra.
First time ever getting past Red UFOs after figuring it out mid-spellcard, and I proceed to capture everything up to Undefined Darkness with a one-death Danmaku Chimaera. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6953) Game Over'd on UD, but still (ignore the post-Kogasa herpderp during the stage).
Am I supposed to actually be able to hit Nue during UD? :(
I don't know why Banana has so much trouble with Blue UFOs, that card's really fun :V

It's a 100% for me with MarisA as piercing makes a huuuuuuuge difference.
Try ReimuA. Enjoy getting fucked over.
Also, for UD, lure Nue into a corner and sloooooooooowly lure her down. You might kill her before she even reaches the bottom.
Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Gc42eOW1k#t=7m47s)
I might have a replay of killing it for like 19m score. It's a really easy spell :V

Perfect stage portion of EoSD Extra. Took WAY WAY WAY too long. Half-decent score run (just below 150 million; personal best).
-
So here's my day so far:
*Realise that his computer's running everything full speed TO THE TOUHOU GAMES
*Complete Game Over, even after continues, on PCB Hard
*Game Over at Remilia on EoSD Normal
*Reach Marisa and Game Over in SoEW Lunatic
*Fail at the same spot in SoEW Normal (...)
*Almost no-death-clear PoDD on first attempt, then game over to Yumemi
*Get wrecked by Yumeko by the SAME ATTACK, THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Game Over on MS Normal.
Why is this not in the ARGGARBL thread?
*...Proceed to destroy Mokou not once, but three times, getting 6 captures in the first two attempts and 8 - and thus get Imperishable Shooting seen.
I think there's only two cards I didn't capture at some point during that: Keine's third spellcard (I know it's almost the same as the first but I can't figure out a route for it) and Fujiyama Volcano (That it only took up a life and three bombs was a record for me on my winning run, too). Oh, and I didn't ever capture Hourai Doll, which is odd, as I know I've done it before and I almost did again.
...Also Curse of Iwakasa has some unexpectedly tiny hitboxes or something because I swear to god I've dived right through the knife bullets during it.

Normal EoSD 1cc! RAAAAAAH! I got a little overexcited when I got to Remilia with four lives, so I fumbled a bit with the first spells, but I annihilated the last few :D
Now I've got two normal mode 1ccs under my belt! On to PCB! I managed to get right up to Youmu without continuing, so I should be able to manage it soon :D
-
Perfect stage portion of EoSD Extra. Took WAY WAY WAY too long. Half-decent score run (just below 150 million; personal best).
Protip: If you want to score well, instead of perfecting the stage you basically have to blow all your lives and bombs grazewhoring Silent Selene and PoC'ing the books, then survive Flandre with limited resources. You can hold back somewhat on stage-milking to accomodate your survival needs of course.
Have fun.

Score run...? FYI, even I've broken 150 million. :V By about 500000 points, but still.
/me notices that at one point he once reached 191 million with Reimu A
Wait, what? o_O When did that happen?
EDIT: More on topic, I just no-bombed my way to Kikuri in HRtP lunatic. Of course, unless I master Ebarrett's trick of slaughtering her first phase this is as far as I go.
-
What do you mean I've just captured Storm Day and Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku TWICE ? :V
Also ... 2DNB Sanae Lunatic. Should be pretty obvious.
Moses's Miracle and Yasaka's Divine Wind FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I have no idea whether or not this counts as an accomplishment, or a (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6957) AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3891.0) moment (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6957).
Honestly, I feel quite empty after doing this
.
-
Just timed out Monster Train, which at some point became my favorite spell card in the series. Still can't redo the magic that allowed me to capture Parasol Star Memories though. ;_; If it weren't for that spell card Kogasa would be my favorite boss in the series bar none.
-
"Polygraph" No Death 4 bomb survival (No Vert). You know what this means. I'm one step closer of course.
EDIT: And... my original strat for taking out "SR" goes down the drain rather quickly. I hereby declare SA Extra impossible to do No Vert.
Welp.

You need to watch Wong's replay if you haven't already. IIRC he made it all the way to the last phase. It just takes some VERY creative gapping.
-
Alright, I've watched it... I don't see anythin- Wait... ... oh... OH. I see something interesting.
Thanks for that small morale boost.
Thinking it might be possible now; but still feeling a bit uneasy about certain things. Though, I can do "Polygraph" better :V
EDIT NTS:
4/0.50 leaving "Polygraph" (3 fragments; assumes I didn't die)
(Non-Spell; 4 fragments)
End "Rorschach" 3/~2.70 (4 fragments)
(Non-Spell; Extend!)
End "Embers" 4/1-2.20 (1 fragment)
(Non-spell; 2 fragments)
End "Genetics" 4/0 (3 fragments)
End "Philo" 3/0-2 ??
Start "SR" 3/2-4
Hm. This depends too much on "Philo" going the way I want it to (which more often than not, it doesn't). Well, a 3-5 hit rate sounds like what I've been getting the theoretical achievement should be.
-
Can't you just time the thing out? Same logic should apply like with Mishaguji-sama except without a timeout phase. That's what I'm doing if I ever make it there No Focus.
-
even if it's not that much but beating Mystic Sqare with Marisa 1CC at normal after not playing the game for years
for me, who is only hardly 1CCing the games at normal, quite an accomplishment^^
-
survived 59 seconds vs VoWG lunatic without dying
-
Closer to a PCB 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6966)
Tried a random run after spending a week or so on MoF (up to Kanako there), and this was the result. Cut out the derpishness on Alice and Youmu, and I have a decent shot at this.
-
Captured Phantasm, Foam and Shadow.
FINALLY.
-
Captured Phantasm, Foam and Shadow.
FINALLY.
I stopped trying, lol
-
It isn't hard, really. Just pure memorization. With the exception of the last phase spawning a bullet on top of me, I could probably cap it every attempt.
-
I played SA Stage 1 Lunatic a couple times so I could practice my way of dealing with Yamame's opener. On the way there, I captured Kisume's card on a whim both times I faced it. I've never been this comfortable on her card before. Perhaps I finally figured out the proper "Kisume manipulation" I need?

Really? I've been able to get to Philosophy of a Hated Person No-Vertical, and that was after several derps during the stage and early cards :V
-

Timing it out is the only way. However, there's a bit more to it than just that from what I noticed.
Really? I've been able to get to Philosophy of a Hated Person No-Vertical, and that was after several derps during the stage and early cards :V
Getting to that means that you're about "halfway" there (in terms of resources). If you look at the nifty little NTS that I left, you'll see that I put down a lot of resources needed for "SR", which are needed because that thing doesn't let you sit in the middle of the screen for long, and has a very, very long timer as well. Wong's replay had "SR" going down below 40 seconds before he died.
EDIT: Might be able to cap "Rorschach", but it requires a rather large amount of memorization on my part. Might be worth it to save myself a death though.
Test video of "Philo" is uploadinged; 3-5 hits is in the "very possible" range.
-
I stopped trying, lol
Yeah, me too but some i got to do it though. It and Fantasy Heaven are the only spells in IN i haven't captured.
-
PCB Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6968)
All right, my first Extra clear! Feels so good to finally get one down. Finished 0/0, but hey, it's the clear that counts. I think it also helped that this was my absolute best run to date on everything before Ran's last 3 cards.
I don't know when I'll be able to beat Phantasm, but I have it opened for practice now.

I'd go for another easy extra first, like IN or MoF.
I think phantasm is actually the difficulty a good extra stage should've been
-
IN: 222/222.
Sweet Youkai Jesus, that took long enough. Most of the spells were easy enough to capture until I had about 30 to go, so I stopped for ages. Then, today I randomly tried Bounded Field and got it on attempt 110, figured I'd go for the rest, beat Apollo 13 L on my FOURTH ATTEMPT (wtf), FINALLY figured out Mind Stopper L after my 160th attempt at the card and just there captured Phantom of the Grand Guignol, the last one.
Now if I can 1cc Lunatic with 3 starting lives I can *finally* say I've fully beaten Imperishable Night.
-
I'd go for another easy extra first, like IN or MoF.
I think phantasm is actually the difficulty a good extra stage should've been
Yeah, I kind of imagined when I first learned about it that Phantasm would be the "Lunatic" version of Extra. And from what I've seen, I'd say that holds up.
Believe it or not, I've yet to try those two games' Extras. And I've gotten up to Youkai Polygraph once before in SA, but that's because I play SA's stuff a lot more than the others.
-
I still have to capture Hourai Elixir and Kaguya's 5 Lunatic Last Spells. Everything else I've captured at least once.
I still need the 1cc first though.
Oh, use Netherworld Team, it's easier than Border team. On a good run, it'd be 0-2 deaths until Reisen(it was 2 on my run that game overed on Hourai Jewel due to massive screw ups, but you're better than I am)
-
Go for Eirin. :V
-
I could easily have done it with the resources I had. I just fucked it up, Reisen was horrible, and I wasted the 3 bombs on my last life on deathbombs due to clipping. Oh, and I've been getting hit in stages 1 and 2 since then. And I would have had just as much chance of messing up Eirin as I'm terrible at that fight too.
Pretty much fixing any of the issues, getting a good Reisen fight, not deathbombing as much would fix it if I repeated that or better.
-
Might be able to cap "Rorschach", but it requires a rather large amount of memorization on my part. Might be worth it to save myself a death though.
If it's possible for me to cap Rorschach on my first NV try of it, it's fully possible for you :V
-
Same with Meiling in UNL, because Cirno 1cc feels like cheating :V
FINE >:
(http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/1403/wellthenz.jpg) (http://img694.imageshack.us/i/wellthenz.jpg/)
There you go. Second lunatic 1cc.
I found Cirno's story mode a lot harder. :P
Patchy takes forever to kill, Jesus Christ.
Also that catfish has some of the most bland attacks ever.
Here's my crappy replay.
-
I didn't say it WAS cheating; and I did 1cc with no extra lives left, plus failing the time-out spell. Its just that I lose 3 lives on Utsuho's semi-final card because I have no god damn idea how to do it.
With Meiling, suddenly Patchy's first card, Reimu's Fantasy Seal -Blink, and to a lesser degree some other cards... its like impassable walls >:
Cirno 1cc is kinda like using Medicine in PoFV against the AI; it works better then most characters, but you still have to have a good bit of skill, since its not anywhere near as cheap as an Aya 1cc.
-

Sorry dude, but Medicine can obliterate match mode lunatic Shiki in less than a minute and a half most of the time, and I've beaten lunatic story mode no-focus/no-vert with her in my first attempt.
UNL with Cirno is easy (I've 1cc'ed hard with her, the only hard 1cc I have in the fighting games), but Medicine is the most broken character in the series.
-
If it's possible for me to cap Rorschach on my first NV try of it, it's fully possible for you :V
I've never ever capped it according to my History across all Shot Types
.
Also, 0 Power
.
-
Also, 0 Power
.
Did that too :V
Rorschach is actually much easier in a NV challenge. If you stay at the bottom, the gaps that open will close by the time you have to dodge. They're at their widest just around your character's starting height.
-
FINE >:

Indeed on both. Patchy takes as long as Alice and Marisa combined, and for a boss character Giant Catfish was rather underwhelming. I still like Meiling's scenario the best, but I'd rather fight Suwako or Alice.
Also, lol Baity can't capture Rorschach? XD
-
Have everything from MoF Stage 5 captured on Lunatic. Didn't say across all 4 difficulties because I'd have to check for Hard.
Just captured Moses's Miracle 3 times in a row. I think I actually understand this attack now.
Night with Overly Bright Guest Stars still sucks as does Yasaka's Divine Wind.
Also, I'm feeling pretty consistent with Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku and her card before her last one.
Also noticed that you might be able to misdirect her midboss opener, but I'm not sure if there's a way to actually take advantage of it consistently.
-
Also, lol Baity can't capture Rorschach? XD
Correction: Hasn't. I've always managed to clip something in every single one of my 30 or so attempts across the boards (well, all but 5 of them are NV, and the last attempt I had was around... half a year ago?). Anyway, it's just excuses now :V
Anyway, I spent the entire day doing nothing. Except watching Kaiji.
...and timing out "Gray Test Tray Shure"
..."Radiant Treasure Gun"
...and various other UFO Spell Cards (especially No Focus on all of Ichirin's).
Unfortunately, I failed a "VoPB" timeout because I was trying to do it NF and ND (No Diagonal), which obviously restricted the movement way too much. Should probably stop doing that. Got sliced by a laser quite cleanly, I must say. My History is getting crap for it now thanks to the numerous timeouts; 21/50 for a certain Shot Type looks terrible now
.
Oh, and "Philosophy of a Hated Person" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ouPQGshVm8) which I did this morning for those of you who haven't seen it yet.
Also noticed that you might be able to misdirect her midboss opener, but I'm not sure if there's a way to actually take advantage of it consistently.
There's no reason to misdirect it. If you're going to direct it, it's best if it's straight down.
-
With Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction, I've captured every SA Lunatic spell cards.
WHAT !?
-
Spring Kyoto dolls beaten. 1/5
Now i only need to capture ReimuC, MarisaB and MarisaC's Satori cards and all of SA's spells will be mine.
-
I didn't capture a single Satori lunatic spell after 18+ attempts. :V
-
I didn't capture a single Satori lunatic spell after 18+ attempts. :V
Have you tried using different shottypes?
Isn't Terrifying Hypnotism relatively easy as long as you don't let it terrify you? I mean, you just have to dodge the yellow pattern and then move against the turning direction of the lasers. The time frame between the firing of the yellow bullets and the activation of the lasers is larger than the card would make you think, so you can ignore the lasers completely until all the yellow bullets have gone past you.
-

Then for all in the world don't look forward to MarisaC. Its terrible! Double Black Death Butterfly is easy compared to those imo.

I still clip it. Sometimes.
-
lol I just died on Terrifying Hypnotism....before any yellow bullets appeared.
-
I don't know how you even managed to do that. Touched satori did you?
Also. I tried my luck with MarisaB. Two times. I have now captured Philosophers Stone and i have a pretty fair idea of how to deal with Mercury-whatever and Princess Undine.
It must be MarisaC that's the problem then! I hate those recollection cards! I don't even know if i even want to capture them. Its only gotta bring frustration anyway. And the cards are even bland. Patchouli at least benefits of having more colours than blue. +green for super-fast lasers.
-
Have now beaten IN Easy, both Finals, with Sakuya Solo and Remilia Solo.
god sakuya solo sucks
-
Tried MS Extra No Vert and made it to the phase before Cheeto Lasers. Assuming I get a good run, it seems possible. Not sure how many resources Cheeto Lasers and the phase after would take, but the last one would be easily timed out.
Now, I'd need to know the setting needed to record so I can actually try recording attempts just in case.
-
All MarisaB Recollection spells captured. Took 5 tries in all. Philosopher's Stone is really easy. Timed it out down to 5 seconds before i made a stupid mistake and died. Just don't hug the bottom and everything will be fine.
Also, captured Kappa's Porocca. Now i'm only missing Extending Arm and Trauma of the Deep (or whatever) and i'll have captured all of Marisa's spells leaving only ReimuC.
EDIT: Captured Trauma-thingy. Now there is only Extending Arm left. Oh my god this is gonna be painful. :'(
I have spent 9 attempts to capture those two spellcards. Anyone wanna take bets at how long its gonna take me to get Extending Arm?
-
Went through PCB Extra in an attempt to see how far I'd get without using bombs (i.e. practicing for a distant perfect run). First try, survived up to the last 10 seconds of "Kokkuri-san's Contract" before gameovering, much farther than I expected (I went most of the way around the screen in that card without dying too). I didn't do so hot on some of her earlier attacks, BUT I captured Shikigami's Shot "Unilateral Contact" for the first time ever.
-
Timed out Repository of Hirokawa on Lunatic without aiming for a timeout at first.
It's really easy once you know the 2 side safespots and the middle one and the fact that you can just microstream it.
-
1CCed IN on hard with border team ^_^
-
My best on VoWG Lunatic is now 2 deaths no bombs a few times. And I've gotten 3 deaths and no bombs a few more times.
This is definitely good news for me if I can repeat my best performance up until Sanae and then not mess up that and stage 6 like my current best run, with bombs on VoWG I should be fine.
Now it's just a matter of actually getting the run.
-
Just finished IN Easy Both Routes with Youmu solo. Yuyuko solo is all that's left, and then it's on to Phantasmagoria of Flower View!
-
MoF Normal No Focus 1cc done to take my mind off of Lunatic for a bit.
Not too hard, but I ended up low on lives due to failing without focus. Mountain of Faith was embarassing due to me now being used to VoWG and failing due to the slower speeds.
-
My second attempt at PCB Extra after beating it the first time, doing it no-bombs (includes no intentional broken borders) for practice. Perfect up to Ran's fifth nonspell, where I break a border. Finally recapture her second and fourth cards, cap her seventh for the second straight time, and cap her eighth for the first time. Finish 2/2 - for reference my first clear (literally two runs before) was 0/0 with bombs. How the hell do I do that much better so quickly?
-
Perfected Koishi all the way up to The Embers of Love, then 2 misses at Genetics and 1 miss at PoaHP's final wave :V
I seem to be getting better at reading gaps (Id, Rorschach).
But sadly the run doesn't qualify, despite being 4-miss. I need to learn not to chicken out and turn Infinite Lives on before doing Extras :/
-
I actually defeated Yuka when she looks like this (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/touhou/images/3/35/Yuka_Kazami_1.png) with Marisa A
but i did got defeated on the second form and got punch by Reimu. Still I finally did it at least.. now just for the second form now.

Well, if you are about to become Lunatic then you'd better stop using infinite lives hacks for Extra mode. 5 lives is more than enough.
EDIT: Just finished all of Satori's cards. Extending arm took 22 freakin' attempts. Its cheap imo. The rest went down fairly quick though. And with that, i have captured every spell in MoF, SA and UFO.
-
Huzzah! I've just captured Patchouli's books, and in max rank I think. ;D
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6979
And yay! In the same run I managed to fail at Sakuya st5 safespot, twice, and timing out the attack, missing the extend! :'(
-
Well, if you are about to become Lunatic then you'd better stop using infinite lives hacks for Extra mode. 5 lives is more than enough.
I guess ... Though those hacks do give me a HUGE boost in confidence (1D1B Nue, 4DNB Koishi, most of Yukari's spell cards captured in one run, etc.)
Another Koishi run. 4 misses and a TON of bombs, not to mention five ragequits because of Sanae's last spell >=( . Finished 1/1 compared to last time (0/3). No, this is not an excuse :V
Also, perfect Parsee Lunatic. Could've perfected the whole stage if it weren't for that miss at her mid-boss spell >_>
-
tHRtP hard 1cc, Jigoku route.
8)
-
I've perfected Evil Eye Sigma three times now, still no perfect clear. I'm not sure if this is the right thread.
Did a clear with all shottypes quickie of the stage while I was at it.
-
I'M BACK.
My depression gone in a flash, I celebrated by beating MoF stage 3 1DNB (damn Hydro Camouflage :<).
EDIT: SA extra clear with Reimu C. Even with sucky shot types this stage ain't so hard no more. Now I have to unlock Marisa A and Marisa C again...
-
Captured "Guilty or Not Guilty" and "Remilia Stoker" after ... wait what, AN HOUR !?
>_>
P.S.: Banana, I herd you liek (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stbi-Hwwv74) StB's score.dat (http://www.mediafire.com/?jyf4jzjag4e) ?

I was really, really bored, so I decided to do some daredevil danmaku dodging and shit. :V (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6987)
-
I timed out Double Black Death Butterfly Lunatic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZzlXfdyqPs
-
Finally 1cc UFO. I don't know why but this is really the hardest game for me. The streak of bizarre deaths is REALLY big. Damn you Shou and Damn you Byakuren ;_;
-
Did a no double-tapping challenge of SoEW extra and got it on my first try. :V
Fun stuff. What was really amazing was that I perfected Evil Eye Sigma, although going in with max power ReimuC kind of helped with that. ;^^
-
What is double-tapping in SoEW? I keep hearing about it but I have no idea what it is ):
-
SoEW's shot power mechanic is like half a regular touhou game, half Silver Surfer:
If you tap the fire button, you'll increase the number of bullets you fire, and thereby your damage output. Another reason why it is the worst game in the series. :V
-
HRtP is worse.
My performance is the same no matter the difficulty(not counting Lunatic). Make it past Mima, game over. Spent 20+ credits on whatever the stage 15 ass is called. Can't beat the final boss.
And this isn't due to my sucking at the game. The mechanics are just even worse than SoEW and less fun to play.
-
SoEW perfect extra stage. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvaGPhlDfV0)
After some heart-crushing failures and a long hiatus, I finally did it.
With this, I've perfected every single pc98 extra stage.
Better start working on that no-deaths run, Donut! :V
-
What's next, a no vert run?
How long until that's annotated. Wouldn't mind "borrowing" some of those strategies.
-
And this isn't due to the game sucking. I simply can't master the mechanics and flounder around and baw about the game sucking when it's entirely possible to control.
Well, I'm sure you'll get it eventually. ;) I do admit HRtP has some rough spots though, such as laser attacks that become 100% undodgable if you aren't in the right place.
Also Jaimers stop breaking my heart. ;_;
-
What's next, a no vert run?

I tried doing a no vertical run to laugh at how impossible it is and uhh....
I did it. :V

From watching videos of the stage, I would have been surprised if a no vert wasn't possible. Of course, there's no way I would have tried it considering I haven't even beaten the stage yet.
-
@_@
Jaimers I h8 u. ;_;
aww...
But the stage is soo much fun, how can you not want to no-death it?
:V
Anyway, here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpuRrOFKMlU) this silly mess of a no vertical run.
-
Why do people complain about Danmaku Chimaera again? I just captured it twice in a row at 1.xx power, having only seen it once before ???
Nue is such a fun boss. I would love UFO Extra if the stage portion wasn't the biggest explosion of bullshit and luck ever :V
-

The only bullshit part is Kogasa's 1st and 2nd card.
I've had problems with Chimaera too, then I suddenly got it down and captured it 90% of the time.
-
2nd and 3rd for me. First one is mostly fine.
-
Finally cleared Stage 5 UFO and unlocked it for stage practice. Although it was actually just bombing all of Shou's cards :V
-
Kogasa's first card is terrible for me because of the bullets' enormous hitboxes and tendency to wall you and force you to bomb. Second is 50/50 with me, sometimes it'll be the easiest thing ever, other times it'll make me bomb and die in the same run. I actually really like her third card.
The worst parts of the stage for me are pretty much everything post-Kogasa, especially that part with the purple petal bullets combined with the lines of glowy blue bullets. I also have no idea how to handle the suicide-fairies at the end of the stage besides "lolmasterspark."

For the first card, GET OFF THE BOTTOM.
The attack has 2 layers, a slow and a fast one. If they meet higher up, you can go down to dodge it. When they join at the bottom, you are fucked.
Glowy grid - camp in one of the bottom corners and shoot the orbs as soon as they appear. Makes it much easier.
Final suicide spam - Streaming, but you have to move up as well. You have to macrostream the first few waves, then slowly stream the rest from one side to the other.
If you'll reply, do so in the spell help thread :V
-
For the first card, GET OFF THE BOTTOM.
...
Congrats, you inadvertently gave me an idea that may very well make Parasol Star Memories easier. I was so close to capturing it this test run the bullets fired after Reimu respawned after death (the ones that happen even if you let go of the fire button) were enough to end the spell card.
-
PCB Phantasm yes!
On the final wave of the final card, I had a life left and I knew what was coming, so I just sat in the middle and looked at the pretty background.
Also I think I captured 0 cards? So it was a pretty good run overall.
-
For the first card, GET OFF THE BOTTOM.

Or better yet,- Nnnnnno. Just stick to this. I was going to offer an alternative, but I then realized that most people (read: just about all of you; I myself only barely cut this line) don't have the skillset developed to a satisfactory level yet. If you want to know what type of skillset is required, then try timing out "Blue UFOs" without shooting or bombing. I'm serious about this

then try timing out "Blue UFOs" without shooting or bombing. I'm serious about this
.
Doesn't that require memorization? :V
-
No, the spawns are quite random. So naturally, you'll be using a different (albeit similar; which is what "PSS" is all about as well) set of movements each time.
-
Shoot the Bullet level 7 clear! Those last two scenes were pretty insane... Stopping time to move out of my picture frame most definitely isn't very nice of you, Sakuya.
And now on to see what madness level 8 holds.
-
No, the spawns are quite random. So naturally, you'll be using a different (albeit similar; which is what "PSS" is all about as well) set of movements each time.
But you need to have a general strategy to know how to move, no? Seems to me that you can't time it out through random dodging.
Offer the alternative anyways, no matter how ridiculous it might be :V

But you need to have a general strategy to know how to move, no? Seems to me that you can't time it out through random dodging.
You also have a general strategy for "PSS". In fact, a general strategy applies everywhere, up to and including "Eternal Meek" believe it or not.
Offer the alternative anyways, no matter how ridiculous it might be :V
Predict the trajectory of every single "untouched" umbrella bullet as soon as it's spawned. Anticipate which ones you are going to destroy, whether at one point or another (e.g. ReimuA unfocused can destroy an umbrella bullet incoming from the side; MarisaB options can theoretically destroy umbrellas curving at a certain angle towards you; but unfocusing and Marisa don't mix too well for this particular Spell Card). Furthermore, master rhythmic dodging between the walls of bullets, or follow the flow of the wall followed by moving out to the left (if possible) to give yourself more breathing space. Prepare to bomb when you reach the right corner; off-screen umbrellas are dangerous, the walls actually trap you, etc.

I was talking about EX Kogasa's first card :V

I was talking about EX Kogasa's first card :V
Hence why I said "inadvertently." I thought you were talking about Parasol Star Memories, and I realized "bah! That's a brilliant idea," realized you meant EX Kogasa, and said "that's a brilliant idea anyway!"
Also, MoF stage 6 3DNB. One death to each of Kanako's last three spell cards. :< Whenever I successfully capture her opener I keep thinking that I deserve a perfect for it. I'm starting to get ideas on it now that I finally figured out how it's mechanically produced, but nothing consistent yet...

I was talking about EX Kogasa's first card :V
(Lack of mentioning of the prefix EX-)Kogasa's first card...
Argh, stupid misinterpret.
Still, prediction works wonders here as well, so :V 26/41 No Vert; it took 5 attempts to adjust myself to it properly

Hell yeah! SA Extra perfect clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6997)
Man, that took more attempts than it should have done... Subterranean Rose is a very evil way to finish off the stage. It's easy as long as you stay calm; staying calm is not really what happens if it's going to make or break your perfect run. :V
Anywho, that makes four. Which one next, I wonder...

ReimuC might be worse.
Maybe.
Because with MarisaC you at least still do awesome damage if you can get close enough for the icethrowers to hit.
-
MARISA C
Clipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeathclipdeath
NEVER ;_;
Having said that, Suwako might not be a bad idea... then again, Suwa War. :V
-
Same for ReimuC Shotgun. Oh wait, there is no ReimuC Shotgun without focus.
No thanks.
I clipdeath enough on her cards with focus. I can't capture a lot of her walling crap with it either.
-
Same for ReimuC Shotgun.
No thanks.
But we're talking No Focus, where ReimuC does even less damage unfocused then she does with the least amount of focused shots possible, and has no ability to shotgun.
-
Wait, should I have done my No Focus Normal 1cc with her instead of ReimuB, because if I have to do it again.
-
NEVER ;_;
Having said that, Suwako might not be a bad idea... then again, Suwa War. :V
Funnily enough, I tried MoF Extra NF with MarisaB the other day and made it to rainbow jellybeans on my first try. It's definitely doable (although Long Arm and Long Leg is absolute hell).
-
MarisaB, the great equalizer for those who are bad at No Focus. I could probably do it with her.
I've 1cc'd Lunatic with her, but that doesn't count, I've gotten close legitimately anyway.(not NF, but that makes me want to try Lunatic NF with her)
-
MoF Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7001)
That's two down. Took less time than I expected, especially considering this was also my first time getting past Suwako's fifth card. MoF really is prone to bomb-spam, isn't it? And is it just me, or is Suwako's final card easier to read than its Hourai Elixir counterpart? I ND1B'ed it first try.
-
Suwako. NO FOCUS. WITH MARISA C.
:yukkuri:
By the way, Shotgunning for additional damage or not, most of the things are pretty easy anyway; it's only prolonging the run and doesn't really contribute to the difficulty of the "challenge". ReimuA experimental random run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7003). Largest obstacle surprise was "Long Arm etc.". "Froggy" was p cool. Wasn't prepared for "Suwa War" so... yeah. It doesn't matter if I change characters either; I'm fairly confident I could pull it off... given now that I know what to bomb and such.
Well, my score.dat doesn't have Extra unlocked for anything apart from ReimuA and MarisaB, so I'll just leave it at that.
-
Anywho, that makes four. Which one next, I wonder...

Mishaguji-sama is a really easy final card, to be completely honest. I captured it on my very first try, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that you come close to capturing it yourself :V
-
MoF Stage 1 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7005)
Geez, and I though MoF's Normal-Hard gap was huge. Had to get lucky at some parts, but hey, that's MoF for ya. I did manage a few good dodges though (avoiding clipdeaths on the midboss card, and following a fairy just before the last set of enemies).
Mishaguji-sama is a really easy final card, to be completely honest. I captured it on my very first try, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that you come close to capturing it yourself :V
I've only tried Hourai Elixir on Normal, but even then I've always been more successful tackling that pattern head on, rather than going to the side. Then again, MoF ReimuB has to stay in the center.
-
Touhou accomplishments?
Let's see:
PC98 series: MS Extra... nothing more really...
Window series (Minus fighting games, STB, and PofV:
-1cc all games in normal. Not easy since that's redundant.
-1cc EoSD, IN, and MoF in Lunatic
-All extras and PCB Phantasm beaten.
-Pacifist Suwako and Flandre.
That's all.

Captured all of Murasa's cards, including her survival card <3
I then proceeded to fail miserably on Stage 5 but that doesn't matter
-
I UNLOCKED UFO STAGE 6 FOR PRACTICE! WOO!
God... I know how Sapz felt when he was trying to 1cc lunatic.
-
3-1, 3-5, and 3-7 captured in StB, without using the shift button! Aya is rapefast.
3-5 and 3-7 were fairly fun warm-ups, lolstreaming. But 3-1... now that was interesting part :V
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7020

IN Extra No Focus clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7024)
I didn't even see Imperishable Shooting, I needed 2 more captures were needed to see. Best thing in the run was the Hourai Doll capture. The rest was mostly suck. And rage at what happened on Honest Man's Death.
-
PCB extra no focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7026) 1 death. With bombs in stock. I'm not complaining, though.
Obviously, tons of borders were broken.
-
PCB Extra No Focus clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7027) because I felt like copying it as well. First try that didn't die before midboss Chen, so it took a few tries.
Died a few seconds from capturing the survival, but that's no surprise since I've never captured the thing. Tried to capture Izuna Gongen since I've never captured it and died as well. Lots of stupid deaths and bombs as well.
-
Beat PoFV with the first four characters!
Then decided PoFV was utter shit in singleplayer, decided to skip it and move on to Mountain of Faith. :V

Anyone feel like a genius after figuring out how to capture Satellite Himawan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o24GNHQtGN8) in StB? I tried to dodge the bullets at first. Apparently walls have no gaps in them though. :-[

I'm surprised at how well I can handle Superhuman.
It's like Byakuren's 2nd easiest spell card now (well ... maybe that's what it's SUPPOSED to be).

Finished 4/0, capped 8 cards including Possessed by Phoenix and Hourai Doll.
As a side note: this was done with the Touhou audio completely muted, listening to Earthless instead. Normally other music would make me do worse, but I guess this wasn't one of those times~

those no focus clears made me want to do it too... and did the easier one. PCB Extra No Focus No Death clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7035) 3 bombs used, 5 borders broken, and only 7 spellcards captured :(

I can tell you that that's not true. ;D Certainly not something that is possible to do consistently, but just like in Aura of Justice the "walls" have tiny gaps in them, though these are much harder to squeeze through than the latter.

Anywho, I think that's enough of that for a while. Can't see myself topping that very easily. :V

YEAH UFO LUNATIC CONTINUESPAMMED :V
Also captured Superhuman on my second attempt :V
And...am I the only one who doesn't see the difference between normal/hard/lunatic LFO? I swear, it's the same goddamn thing.

SDFADFGIKNADFKG FINALLY
SA HARD 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7041)
GODDAMNIT
Absolutely awful run. Death on Yuugi, multiple deaths with power on Satori, multiple deaths with power on Orin, multiple deaths with power on Utsuho. Got through SS with only two bombs, though, which was awesome.
Of course, this leaves only tHRtP, PoDD and UFO Hards remaining.
...the only one I might even think about doing is PoDD. More likely, I'll 1cc EoSD Lunatic first.
-
MoF Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7045)
Damn, took way too long. Why do I suck so much at MoF? Must be the randomness. No joke, I think this took longer than my SA Hard 1cc. Freaking SA was easier on me than MoF.
I really need to get back to SA. Once I get some more time, I'll start grinding the second half of Lunatic.
-
PCB Phantasm no focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7046)
Up to 「Shikigami "Ran Yakumo"」 it went relatively well. Then it just... didn't. Finished 0/2, but whatever.
-
Captured Uncontainable Reaction and Peta Flare for the 2nd and 1st times respectively in the same run.
failed Subterreanean Sun though
-
Capped Hell's Tokamak 2 times in a row. Failed everything else.
-
I failed Phantasm No Focus my first try of it at Double Death Butterfly.
But I suck at Phantasm and am out of practice on it, so I should get it in a few tries. Mesh of Light and Darkness was suck, so was her first card, messed up the second, and some others.
-
A slightly better IN no focus run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7047); finished 5/1. Died once, and bombed four times (once again, all deathbombs). 11 cards capped once again, but the ones I failed this time were Keine's third and Phoenix Tail instead of HMD and Fujiyama Volcano.
...+3.1? :V
-
PCB Phantasm no focus. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7048)
Finished 0/0. There was no way I was capturing the final card with how nervous I was. I was too nervous of messing up I messed up with the first wave's positioning and had to bomb that. Dodged the second, bombed the next 2, dodged the last. Yukari didn't want to cooperate on the BoLaD safespot so I didn't manage to get it, but I've only ever done that successfully with SakuyaA and never on Ran's version since she doesn't cooperate either.
Edit: just captured Suwako's final for the first time ever. Run wasn't legit(MarisaBug), but I was focused the entire time during that card, so the capture was legit. I also apparantly captured her first survival with her once, but I have no idea how.
-
Unlocked PCB and LLS extra stages on normal! (okay so LLS isn't that impressive)
I did terrible against Yuyuko, stretched it down to the very last life AND bomb ._.;
Now that I have four extra stages unlocked I think I'll start tackling them next.
-
PoFV no-vert lunatic 1cc with Reimu. As I was afraid, the replay didn't save.
Now excuse me while I FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
Since I was banned I 1cc'd IN and SA on HARD.
I also tried UFO on hard, but it's too hard, and UFO on normal was almost a 1CC on the first try. What the fuck.
-
UFO Hard is harder than IN, MoF, and SA Lunatics. Maybe even EoSD and PCB, but I haven't 1cc'd those 2 on Hard, though I could on EoSD.
-
UFO Hard is harder than IN, MoF, and SA Lunatics. Maybe even EoSD and PCB, but I haven't 1cc'd those 2 on Hard, though I could on EoSD.
The worst thing is that UFO Normal is way too easy. I reached Byakuren on my first try. :(
-
Timed out Kogasa's final card in stage 2. I think I got it down now. It's funny how I used to consider this impossible bullshit.
Also caught Mokou's Phoenix Tail card on the top of the screen. :V
This was pretty good practice.
Lastly, I found out that doing a no death run of UFO stage 5 really isn't that hard at all.
With my current strategy, you can reach Shou with a minimum of four bombs in stock.

AHAHAHAH finally ufo normal reimub clear after 8 deaths at the final spellcard of byakuren with sanaea :)
damn this card is totally random for me one of best fights against byakuren and then dying 3 or 4 times at her final card, i just lost my calmness i guess^^

Here you go. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7055)

First-ever MoF Extra clear...yet I had a very close call at the end. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7056)
There are a few parts in my run where I just didn't even bother trying...(e.g. Kanako's 3rd mid-boss card)
I guess I'm still not used to Mishaguji-sama, but anyway...what to do next...
-
I just had my far out best try at EoSD lunatic with default lives. Game overed on Thousand Needle Mountain.
Could've been a 1cc if I didn't die with 3 bombs in stock during the stage portion of stage 4... twice :V
-
2cc tHRtP, only death on Stage 18 (should've bombed). Either way Konngara would've finished me I'm sure. Kikuri is still a bitch to get out of Phase 1.
Still, I know I can get this. >=)
EDIT: Also marked the first time I didn't bomb-spam 2 of the bosses (Mima and Konngara). Both took 1 damage-bomb each.
-
UFO perfect stage 2 lunatic, no UFO's summoned.

So I don't think this counts as much of an accomplishment.

SA Extra No Focus.
.....aaaand the game crashed at the score entry screen. Awesome.
-
Finished Imperishable Night at 1:30am for the first time ever. It was on Normal. I turned the music up for spells 4 and 5 and when it happened, it felt amazing. In order of feelgood:
1. PCB Lunatic 1cc.
2. Capturing VoWG.
3. Capping Kaguya's last spells.
4. MoF Lunatic 1cc.
I beat my high score from a year ago in the process.
-
Not bad for someone who can't 1cc normal. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7059)
Perfect up to (I think) Boss!Chen's opener, and caught a couple cards from Alice that I didn't think I'd get (but lost Chalk White Russian Dolls due to getting trapped too quickly). The final death was completely derp, though. :(

I just perfected Orin on Hard. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7078)
Holy crap it's been a long time since I've done remotely this good on Orin. Two deaths on the stage though, in their usual places. But thanks to Formless God for that bit of advice on "Small Demon's Revival", a full perfect run is actually possible now (if unlikely, but you get the idea).
-
IN Easy. I justabout no-focus perfected the whole thing. What the hell, that never happens.
Also the end result was that I completely accidentally surpasses the current MotK record for Netherworld Team on Easy.
I don't even know anything about maximizing score on IN, and Netherworld Team is my least favourite team to play as.
...What the hell!

PCB Hard down!
...I'm unsatisfied, though- I clipped Yuyuko's Homing Butterfly Swarm card. That's one of my favorite attacks in the entire game. At that point I just gave up and sat though the last couple of cards.
Oh well, it's still a 1cc.
-
I tried beating said score.
I failed. But I know I could do it cause I was over 1,600,000,000
missed to Keine's final spell, missed on one of Marisa's(bombed though), panic bombed one of Marisa's, ended outside of the pot on Eirin's spell and therefore had to bomb, missed to Kaguya's first spell(but bombed), missed to Kaguya's second spell but bombed, failed Kaguya's Last spell before last with 2 seconds on the timer because I screwed up in positioning, failed Kaguya's 5th Last Spell with 0 seconds on the timer.
Oh, and I ended 8/0 instead of the 8/8 that it should have been.
Oh well, I'll kick some ass on Easy later.

...I just captured Sanae's [Night with Overly Bright Guest Stars] for the first time.

Sorry Garlyle
1,855,307,350
Only got 28 of the 30 spell bonuses in Easy Mode(I think I got the number right, but I'm too lazy to check), and I don't know how to do the scoring trick on Kaguya's 4th Last Spell. Maybe if I knew how to do the trick where you safespot the waves and actually get out before the bubbles, I might have broken 2,000,000,000 if I caught everything else. But I could never get out in spell practice.
-
I've been trying to learn some scoring tricks in IN lunatic, and here's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7082) my half-assed first attempt. 3.2 billion, ended with three extra lives.
I'm not even close to done with incorporating everything I'm capable of score-wise, and this run had lots of retarded mistakes so I'm hoping to improve this soon (if I don't get distracted by some other game first, that is).
-
I finnaly managed to get past Fujiyama Volcano in IN Extra after 2 months of on and off atempts...
-
I just 1cc'd lunatic PCB with default lives and 1 (extra)life left. It's not my first time, but it is the first time I've done it since my last time, which was only done by playing nothing but PCB for hours on end for many days in a row. This was just a "I feel like playing PCB for the first time in a month or so", and actually doing it (so hence, I made many memorization mistakes). I feel proud! It was still fairly bomb managementey though.
-
Successfully captured Hard mode Hourai Jewel 4 times in a row.
I just wish I could consistently capture her first 2.
-
PoDD Hard 1cc. Surprisingly VERY easy. I still had 2 and a half hearts and a bomb when Chiyuri went down, and Yumemi killed me twice, and round three had us matched at 2 and a half hearts but she had both bombs and I none. She lasted about 20 seconds from there. Complete implosion.
Remaining Hards:

Whoa, Alice's 6B is all kinds of broken in SWR's story mode, isn't it.
More than half the spellcards can be ended by dollspam during activation + 6B 6B 6B from the other side of the screen, now I only need to stop being impatient during Patchy's bubble card and Tenshi's next-to-last (by the way - what a fantastic card, both in how it works and how it looks), and SWR lunatic is in the bag.

My answer to Drake's BAAAAW WHY CAN'T I BEAT ________ series. If you follow this replay, you can no death the stage portion of UFO stage 5 hard with a 100% survival rate, with bombs to spare. I had a run prior to this where I only had one bomb on the stage and scrapped because I got unlucky with the final part before Syou, but I think this more bomb-spammy one proves my point even further.
Seriously you guys. If you chalk this up to my being "a lunatic player," then I will be at a loss for words.

It interested me for the first 20 or so attempts. It was a great chance to test my theory/ies of dodging; it works. But that's about the limit of my interests; I'm not going to finish off the timeout.

Had a crappy MoF normal run that saw me die three times on stage 4, but it did have one bright spot ....
I finally captured that piece of luckgarbage known as Illusionary Dominance.

SWR lunatic 1cc. Alice is kinda broken for story mode and on top of that she gets a bad end. :-\
Is it just me, or is like half the cast broken in SWR Story Mode nowadays?

Yay 5cc of HRtP Easy :V
Three continues on Kikuri, one on Konngara (saved from being two by bombspam)
I've yet to find out why or how this game is "fun".

Hard was a breeze. Lunatic is just friggin' FUN, or at least as long as you don't care about 1ccing.
Fix'd. I know the same can probably be said for PoFV, but PoDD is actually fun, so long as you've already 1cc'd lunatic so you can never care about doing it again.
And Umu, HRtP is fun because it's a unique take on Arkanoid that more games need to take an example from.

I'm not really sure how Mariari's rank system works, but judging from how frigging hard getting 100 points on stages is, including bosses (screw you Medicine), there are three possibilities :
- I finished the stage 45 seconds faster than what the creators thought possible (yeah, right);
- There's a LOT of room for mistakes for a S rank in this stage;
- The rank system is sometimes buggy (I got 2945 points in the second bonus stage).
The stage is 3-Boss.
-
Fix'd right back, sir.
:V
So if I weren't me my opinion would mean something?
:(
-
HRtP sucks because I'm horrible at it and never even bothered to read the manual
I mean, I thought it was crap as well, but then I learned to play it.
-
We need a HRtP walkthrough or something so people stop bitching about it. Something like "slide left, slide left, slide right, slide right, repeat".
Meanwhile, any idea why the orb is constantly flashing when I play, or why anex86's not-crap font refuses to work?
I copied all the anex86 files to another computer, but somehow the config resetted. Where does it save its configurations anyway?
-
I mean, I thought it was crap as well, but then I learned to play it.

Despite my better efforts I still can't satisfactorily control Reimu Hakurei's balls (who can?).

It can. PoFV is a great game if you don't expect to win.

People actually read the manuals?

People actually read the manuals?
I only read the wiki, mostly to understand how scoring works. Don't let the orb touch the ground for a while and you should get a bunch of extra lives. Especially on stage 6 Makai, you can easily get 3 lives there, even without bombs.
Any stage with cards at the very bottom is bullshit and should always be bombed.
Also, bombs rarely work against bosses. I might be doing something wrong but about 80% of my bombs don't deal any damage.
PCB : Finally captured "Resurrection Butterfly ~ 10%". Failed almost everything else Yuyuko Easy has though. Felt like I played like crap but still finished 8/3.
-

IIRC bombs only damage the boss on your last life.

Ugaaaa! PCB Extra Clear >:D My first Extra stage beaten. I'm so proud of me.
Now I'm off to unlock Phantasm and beat it.
-
So if I weren't me my opinion would mean something?
:(
Allow me to at least try then.
tHRtP, from what I've done on Easy so far, is fun. Full of rape and bullshit (controlling the orb, Kikuri's first phase, Konngara's hitbox IMO), but fun none the less. :V
Remember I was exactly like everyone else, thinking Donut and ebarrett were clinically insane (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=4546.msg220572#msg220572). But it's so different from the rest of the series, and really anything out in the market nowadays. Really, once I can learn to handle the orb I think I have a shot at 1cc (stupid deaths aside, but gotta love a game where dieing w/ bombs is a good thing). I'm starting to want to see a sequel now that Zun has more programming experience under his belt.
Um, to say on topic: Yesterday, had a 3cc Makai on my first try after learning bomb-spam. Elis is actually a very fun boss. Y-M can diaf.
IIRC bombs only damage the boss on your last life.
http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=4546.msg220637#msg220637 :V
-
Actually, ignore my wall-o-text; I figured out why it's fun. At least on Jigoku route, it's arguably the single most forgiving Touhou game.
-
I still don't understand why ALL my bombs damage the boss in HRtP, and yours don't. Not that I'm complaining :V

You know, I could probably get through Lunatic with anyone, it is just Scarlet Weather Rapture that takes all three of my lives.
I mean, screw Boundary of the Mysterious Miko, One-Oni Wrecking Machine, or Yakumo's Nest, I just hate Rapture.
-

*shrug*
Maybe it's the orb? The lines that shoot out of Reimu seem to affect the ball, and if it hits her it shoots off at full speed.
In other words, you're probably just insanely lucky.
:parsee:
-
There is exactly one reason I could ever get past the first phase of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of all Mankind, let alone beat Tenshi: I discovered via spell practice that Medium's bind can pierce the lasers Tenshi shoots out. I dunno how many other characters have an attack like that, but without it that attack would be even harder.

Successful timeout of "Catwalk". (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7112)
Perhaps I found a good strategy? I don't know, I'll leave the analysing to Baity.

Perfect lunatic Orin. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7113)
1DNB
1 death on the popcorn section of doom.
This should technically have been avoided. If I had let the timer run down on cat Orin's first noncard than the popcorn would never have appeared. Oh well...
Also I don't know what it is, but I've captured "Catwalk" like three times in a row now! :V
Orin is pretty easy, it's the stage that is absolute killer.
-
I don't know, I'll leave the analysing to Baity.
Hm.
I've known about moving through the rings (source image; one of many explaining the process (http://www11.atwiki.jp/touhoukouryaku/?plugin=ref&serial=305); note that this an image for Normal; do not try for Lunatic)
.
There was one possible problem that I noted with doing it that way however. You might have to do 3 cycles instead of 2. And that isn't good for any reason at all.. I wonder if it's more beneficial to bomb it for extra Graze, or just try and capture it?
And then, there might be an issue of the "preference of corners" (most people have a preference for a corner if they were given a semi-/fully-random pattern to dodge against). I assume there's something to do with the ring order and placement; you swapped corners each time based on the cycles of Cat!Orin's movements (you went left, right, left where Orin left the screen going right, left, right). Grasping at straws here, I'm guessing that there was a problem with choosing the other corner.
That sums up the analysis.
I legitimately timed out "PSS" (or rather, "PSM")... on Hard. Would've been a Perfect Pacifist Stage 2, but I'm not complaining. It's also about 3 times easier than trying that on Lunatic's It's all RNG shenanigans.
-
I figured I'd be better off working on SA Stage 3 Lunatic in Practice Mode before trying to grind the rest of Lunatic (plus there's not nearly enough time left in the day to try). Less than 30 minutes later, I managed a run with everything perfect before Mt. Ooe (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7114). I now have an idea (at the least) on how to do everything before Mt. Ooe, including the laser spam at the end of the stage portion (mostly vertical movement FTW). Ignore everything in the replay from Mt. Ooe on - I wasn't playing entirely seriously.
I do have a question on top of this. Is the laser spam at the end of the stage portion supposed to be static (or close to it)? I haven't played it enough to tell.

I found it to be the easiest to dodge in the corners I chose. Don't know why though.

I believe the lasers are static. It can be noted that Yuugi's shots are aimed away from you.
-
It can be noted that Yuugi's shots are aimed away from you.
I guess I would say not so much "away from you" as "around you". It's noticeably aimed, but it's designed more to hinder streaming than anything, hence why you're better off with vertical movement. Of course, there's still a bit of space to move out of a laser's way.
-
So when's the next periodic tourney thing anyway?
Timed out Vengeful Cannibal Spirit without shooting, but that still didn't make the card hard. Still suck at Orin just as much as I normally do.
-
Scarlet Weather Rapture
grazegrazegrazegrazegraze
grazegrazegrazegrazegraze
grazegrazegrazegrazegraze
3A!!!(if Alice)/6B!!!(if Reimu)/etc
This also works for Iku's last card, which I beat without taking a hit (Reimu suffers here, though, since she can't crouch to hit Iku, so you need bigger openings). The biggest problem in Rapture is visibility, you pretty much have to guess when you've grazed away the small lasers by ear.
Also: spell practice.

Ever since I watched a Japanese replay and saw how they handled Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple, my capture rate has skyrocketed. I think I also figured out how to make Superhuman easier (that being to GET OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN). Now if I could only make Parasol Star Memories less of a bitch by hacking the game to make it so that no boulders side swiped you life would be perfect.

Care to elaborate?
Basically, it's the same thing that has made half of all spell cards in UFO easier: Get off the bottom. Though for this card staying at the bottom to let the tiny bullets spread out seems intuitive, in reality you're just putting yourself at the mercy of the lanes of bright bullets. By staying about a fifth of the way up the screen you only have to worry about dodging the tiny bullets instead of them and the bright bullets at the same time.

This is probably the last perfect of a final stage you'll see from me in a long, long time.
I really don't see myself perfecting bosses like Remilia or Kaguya anytime soon.
Maybe over a year or so~ :V
Donut, if Kanako is being a bitch, then I recommend Utsuho for your second final boss perfect as she's really fucking easy and the fact that there's no bullshit in the stage.
Also timed out "Maze of Love".
This is seriously the easiest card ever, people. It's even easier than "Moonlight Ray".

For Jaimers or ebarrett, how do you fight Shikieiki on your 1cc runs. I do not want a repeat of my last run where I failed by dying to her 4 times. Of course, I can't exactly expect to beat stage 8 without dying again.

You want to buy as much time as possible, as there's an invisible timer that determines the AI's will to live. After a certain limit it will just become suicidal and starts ramming bullets.
I guess going pacifist until Lily shows up is a way to buy time.
The hotdogs are aimed around you, so macrododge as much as you can.
It's impossible? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksh09yatS_8) to win the first round, but try to stay alive as long as you can for points and potential extra lives.
ebarrett is the PoFV and PoDD expert around here though. I'm sure he'll fill in the rest.

As Jaimers said, macrododge. All of Shiki's boss summon attacks expand in straight lines from the boss sprite; take advantage of that. Try to switch sides often even when there's nothing really threatening going on. Use your L2s at the slightest sign of danger. Shoot down boss summons and pray for a yellow "G". When cornered, dodge up. When cornerer and with no chance of dodging up, HAIL MARY back to the center. Don't panic. Know (roughly) the hotdogs' hitbox (it's a lot smaller than the sprite, specially in the front).
It's impossible? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksh09yatS_8) to win the first round
This only works for Reimu and it's still luck-based to a large extent - not to mention it took me about 8-9 hours of furious, possessed playing over three days, so yeah, first-round Shiki is just for scoring purposes.
ebarrett is the PoFV and PoDD expert around here though
Says the one with all 16 PoFV lunatic 1cc's (I'm probably forever stuck on 14) and his own Reimu PoDD lunatic 1LC. :V

They're screwed, I guess. :V
Donut did beat lunatic with Youmu, though, and Yukari can clear the small lasers better than everyone - I just noticed her dashing hitbox is bigger horizontally than her 3B/3C sprites, which means you can stop dashing and attack immediately. I still don't have lunatic open for practice with them, though, so this is all theory.

PCB Stage 1 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7134)
I kinda wish the story mode stages would be more fun - after this, I chose to do Extra again instead of continuing. On Stage 2.
Speaking of Extra, I have a new personal best for "perfecting" the level: everything before Princess Tenko (where I really fell apart). It was my first time playing against Ran in a while, so I was glad I could still beat her (0/0 again, but whatever).
-
Yeah? Well...
Mine looks a lot cooler. :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotxrbakFOs&feature=related#t=m433)
If you ask me, watching someone who can 1LC lunatic with no spell cards is boring to watch because they've broken every single card to the point where most of them don't even get a shot off.
-
You underestimate my suckage against Shikieiki.
That 4 deaths on Shikieiki was with Mystia. Then I did a run with Medicine for an easy time to take a break from legit tries, and I still died to Shikieiki 4 times to fail. The AI glitch didn't work at all except against Komachi who went down first round in 58 seconds.
Meh, I'll get a legit clear eventually, then I won't have to feel bad when I actually do an Aya and Medicine clear, which I haven't done yet.

Damn. On a very rare occasion, something similar has happened to me, with the graphics for the remaining duration of a stage after it happens. I've had it happen on the very start of Lunatic Elly and Lunatic Yuka(S5) before. And it really makes it weird to play >:

Oh, that's happened to me before. It happened during a hard attempt against Elly. I still beat her and 1cc'd. :V

It suddenly occurred to me that I myself have never been Gengetu Raped. So I did it. It was fun.

UFO Stage 6 spamming has been pretty cool:
- "Cloudy Omen" 1 Bomb timeout; it's ReimuB's bomb and I now have an improved method of going about this Spell Card
- Consistency on the 2nd non-spell; I can time this out pretty easily now
- "Superhuman" No Vertical capture
- "Superhuman" timeout
- -"LFO"- No Vertical capture
I'll still keep at it though. Until one of us drops dead :V

1cc Kioh Gyoku with Muse.
Great concept for a game, terrible execution. I'm not sure which is worse: Morgan for her circular lasers, Muse for never dying, or the rest of the game for taking less than two minutes to beat on average.

I think the key to this game is finding the attacks the AI can't dodge, and spamming those :V

No, she simply is the hardest one.
-
Uh, she's pretty easy to me. I (myself) have a bit more trouble with Yuugi.
The fact that I can consistently timeout "Consecutive Hooks" without relying on focus should be proof of that.
By the way, Ichirin is just a hitbox; you should be more or less complaining about Unzan.
-
I've perfected Ichirin more than any stage 3 boss other than Yugi and MS Alice. :P The only thing she has that qualifies as hard is King Kraken Strike.
-
By the way, Ichirin is just a hitbox; you should be more or less complaining about Unzan.
Heh, i guess you have a point there. Still though... how the heck can you have more trouble with Yuugi? She is the embodiment of easiness. Bubbles are probably her hardest attack but that thing is a walk in the park compared to King Kraken Strike.
I guess maybe i should watch a bunch of videos to maybe get a better understanding of how Consecutive Hooks works. I don't really get it. I do it consistently on Hard and on Lunatic its the fists i always gets hit by and never the bullets. Are the fists' hitboxes larger or something?
-
As far as I can see, the only difference between the hard and lunatic versions is that on hard the fists hitting the screen spawns one ring of bullets, while on lunatic they spawn two. The same strategy applies, just you have to unfocus dodge through twice as many bullets.
-

I love my subtle wording. Also it's probably the fact I normally use Marisa(C) unlike all the cool kids.
I guess Are the fists' hitboxes larger or something?
This is actually hard to answer. They appear to be "large" in some areas (the knuckle; which is the "front"). However, I've had cases of being able to "graze" pretty closely to the edge of the top and bottom sides of the fist as well the wrists (being the "sides" and "rear" respectively).
unfocus dodge through twice as many bullets. (or rings)
You only (theoretically) need to unfocus to make it to the rings, you can focus weave through them with "plenty" of time left over. However, if you stall trying to find a gap to move through then obviously unfocusing is a necessity there as well; else you get a fist.
-
I've perfected Ichirin more than any stage 3 boss other than Yugi and MS Alice. :P The only thing she has that qualifies as hard is King Kraken Strike.
And seeing as King Kraken Strike is trivial with max power ReimuA, nothing else really remains. :V
I remember a similar discussion like this from a while ago. The hardest stage 3 boss is still Alice. (PCB)
-
Anything gets harder if you are using MarisaC of course, though i can see the reason you are doing that. Cherry border for bombs are nice and afaik, if you death bomb you avoid dying as well as activating the border which is pretty cool.
I don't like her too much though, i think she is a tad bit too weak and it feels like the game is designed around Reimu's hitbox in a lot of areas like Satori's non-spells and their tiny gaps.
And seeing as King Kraken Strike is trivial with max power ReimuA, nothing else really remains. :V
Yes, but you are an alien so your opinion doesn't count. :D
-
Actually, either Keine or Ichirin for me.
For some reason, Keine completely wrecks me every single time. It's almost hilarious how I'm completely unable to capture anything.
-
Keine is just micromem though.
...though once you forget it, you're screwed.
And "KKS" is pretty easy once you're able to parse the oncoming bullets efficiently enough.

Did you mean: Clip Death in Three Steps
Also, Ichirin stays hardest until Unzan stops slowing my computer down.
-

I never ever clip that. I meant Mt. Ooe.

My first 1cc of UFO Normal evar. :D Done during a virus scan (which really wasn't a good idea now that I think about it) which explains the bit of slowdown. If I hadn't died during the stage portion of stage 4 I would've had max lives and bombs at Murasa. Oh well.

Its basically just a question of getting past Ephemerality 137 if you ask me. The rest is almost laughably easy. I'm not even very good at micromemorizing.
I don't see what's so hard about it to be quite honest. Even with the Border Team. Most of the gaps are large enough for you to unfocus through. And if you're destroying at least 2 familiars each time then there won't be any bullets coming right from the bottom of the screen.
-
Yeah destroying familiars really help but i still find it pretty hard though because of how fast and random it is. It reminds me a bit of Hell God Sword but i can't help but find HGS easier to do. That of course depends on wether the spell feel like playing nice.
EDIT: Okay, i just went for a few runs against Ephemerality 137 and i think i see what you are talking about Bait. I can't do it consistently at my current skill level but i guess 50-60% isn't too far off. I did manage to capture it three times in a row too.
-
On Ichirin: until I get a better computer, I can't really tell how hard her cards are since BROFIST LAG makes them absolutely unplayable on lunatic (the same goes for Murasa's anchor spam card). :(
Her noncards are very manageable, though. Easier than, say, Alice's midboss noncards, heck, I think I clip Nitori's first boss noncard more often than I clip any of Ichirin's (this should go in the other thread, I know). Of course, being forced to bomb all cards preemptively, and being apparently incapable of figuring out her stage, not to mention the not-quite-rare meltdown earlier vs. Kogasa, I still struggle to make it past her on any run.
-
I unlocked UFO Extra in... November I think, but had only tried it for like 30 minutes before labeling it as random bullshit (it was 2am at the time).
So I decided to see how bullshit it really was. On the first try I died to some random fairy while trying to get a UFO. I restart.
Perfect until Kogasa.
Captured Raindrops. This one seems easy.
Got surprised by Surprising Rain :V. Bombed after about two seconds.
Captured Surprising Slash.
I then proceed to completely suck at collecting UFOs, and die once in the stage. Reached Nue 3/0.
Ominous Clouds : "Ok, let's see what this looks lik- *dies*" Got hit by the first wave, but cleared the rest.
Red UFOs : 2 deaths 1 bomb. One of them because I was screwing around at the bottom of the screen.
Mysterious Snake : Captured.
Blue UFO : Game Over'd because I hugged the bottom.
So yeah, if I could find a way to use those UFOs properly this might actually be not too hard.
-
Got to Byakuren. Got to her 0/2, but I got to her. Also, it's good to know that Hard Cloudy Way works the same as Normal, and is therefore doable.

Gave up on Reimu after many failures spanning many months and bomb/borderspammed my way through PCB lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7143) with SakuyaB

-
SWR Hard 2cc with Suika. Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of All Mankind on Hard is actually really easy...Tenshi was various forms of OW, but her final went down very fast with Suika.
I'm so utterly terrible at fighters anyway; I try to do one thing and end up with another.
-
Almost timed out "LFO/S" No Vertical using ReimuB being hit only a total of 4 times (1 Death + 3 Bombs). Enough messing around; I shouldn't destroy my History any further ("Superhuman" has dropped to like 3/3x because of all the attempts to do it NV).
I swear most of the bullets dodged me, not the other way around. Funnily enough, in another attempt, I did a NVNH (that is, not moving basically) and made it all the way to the purple amulets. Could just be RNG shenanigans though.
-
IN Stage 6B Easy perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7145)
That means everything NDNB, Last Spells included. Took way longer than it should have (aside from me not trying in weeks), no thanks to the Last Spells. The regular portion of the boss battle is a joke (Easy Mode, duh), but the rest just adds more opportunities to choke. Fuck that jumbled mess of a Last Spell she calls her finisher...

Or if you don't want to sink so much time into them, just perfect Remilia, that should be easier.

I just finished my first ever 1cc of Imperishable Night Final B on Easy mode with Youmu/Yuyuko. It's also the first time I've beaten one of the Touhou games too.
PoFV Normal doesn't count it was too easy.

What? I can 1cc four different Lunatics but I can't 1cc PoFV Normal.
I only ever managed to 1cc PoFV on Normal with Yuka. Most annoying part was always dealing with Lily White who just loved to show up right in the middle of a boss summon. But it really didn't give me too much trouble compared to the other games.
What did you find hardest about trying to 1cc it?

EDIT: So then I tried IN Lunatic just for fun. The run was pretty terrible. Failed all kinds of trivial things like General Headquarter Crisis, Illusion Seeker, Indolence "Mind Stopper", and Brilliant Dragon Bullet. I was doing so poorly that I was failing to deathbomb. With Border Team. DURING SPELL CARDS.
But still...
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8254/th012.th.jpg) (http://img12.imageshack.us/i/th012.jpg/)
I also failed all of Kaguya's last spells except Half Past 2. That includes the first one. The REALLY EASY first one.

Oho! Nicely done. Now its Banana's turn.
EDIT: Watched your replay. Classic MoF Lunatic run. Still, i suppose you can has Lunatic title now. ;)
EDIT 2: I made several 1-death timeouts of Catwalk Lunatic but i can't seem to get lucky enough to handle three waves in a row. I don't think i have the skills to do this without lelying on luck anyway.
-
IN Extra cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7151)
Was alot easier than I thought
-
SA will be my first Lunatic 1cc once I actually bother. I'm canceling all IN, MoF, and PoFV attempts until i get this one.
And congrats on beating me to a Lunatic 1cc there. I would have had one before you if I hadn't died after depleting Utsuho's lifebar a while back.
Edit: I don't think I've ever perfected Kaguya even on Easy, yet I've gotten down to 3 mess ups on Hard.
-
1cc'd IN(6A) and PCB.
Tired of Patchouli rape, cba to memorize MoF(1 second off finishing it on my first attempt, captured 2 cards) and SA is just gay.
which makes PoFV extra gay.

can't play touhou for 1 week or more anyways

Hey!! DoDonPachi has a lot more memorization than MoF. And how is SA gay? Explain yourself!

You didn't really answer the question. And since I second Zengeku's stance, I'll ask too, rewording slightly. Why is SA gay?

One useful shottype out of six, stupid power system, gimmicky attacks, weird difficulty.
-
Yeah; if you ranked damage on a tier, ReimuA(+MarisaA unfocused) would be like 2 tiers above every other shottype... which is ridiculous, considering
- ReimuB's homing sucks and penetration isn't that useful
- ReimuC's options do fairly crappy damage (its mostly from base shot)
- MarisaC is forward focus with a basically damageless bomb, yet STILL has bad shot damage
MarisaB might be okay because she has shotgunning and great versatility, and MarisaA is a great spread type and does do really high damage unfocused. Plus her bombs are definitely one of the better ones (Keep in mind you spend 2 bombs for the cost of everyone else's 1)
-
most of the bombs are extremely situational or just simply don't do shit
-
One useful shottype out of six, stupid power system, gimmicky attacks, weird difficulty.
>:(
Okay.
Stupid power system - That title goes to UFO.
Gimmicky attacks? What? Come up with some examples.
Weird difficulty. Its one of the harder Touhou games but how is it weird?
One useful shottype... yeah pretty much. Baity says otherwise though but i kind of agree with you. Still, i don't consider it an issue because i usually only use the same shottype in each game anyways. EoSD is ReimuB, PCB is ReimuB, IN is border team, MoF is ReimuB, SA is ReimuA and UFO is ReimuA.
I don't know, am i the only one who sticks to the same shot type while playing Touhou unless attempting to do something specific?
-
I don't know, am i the only one who sticks to the same shot type while playing Touhou unless attempting to do something specific?
If I'm really trying to 1cc a difficulty for the first time, yeah, I usually have one shot type I stick to. Basically the same as yours, with the exception of UFO.
UFO seems to actually have really balanced shot types, although MarisaB sucks ass and Reimu's slightly smaller hitbox give her an decent advantage for anything above Normal.
-
I don't know, am i the only one who sticks to the same shot type while playing Touhou unless attempting to do something specific?
I do too. Forward-concentration types are my favorite, and I tend to stick to that standard. I think I can only see myself switching around if I'm trying to unlock, say, Last Words for IN, but that's sometime in the future anyway.
-
SoEW: ReimuC
PoDD: Don't care
LLS: MarisA or ReimuA
MS: Mima(only one I've even 1cc'd with, I really should play this more but I suck)
EoSD: MarisA
PCB: Any, I fail regardless at this game
IN: Used to be Border Team, but I suck with them on Lunatic and switched to Netherworld Team.
PoFV: Don't care
MoF: ReimuB
SA: Anything other than MarisaC
UFO: Not decided

parsee's midboss
pretty much every boss card
st3 LASERS FUCKING EVERYWHERE
st4:amulets, amulets, lasers, bullshit midboss, amulets, lasers, amulets, clipdeath, bullshit, wallshit, clipdeath(guess which part is which)
st5:lolisthisevenlunaticHOLYSHITMIDBOSSloleasystage gimmick boss
I like it better when the midboss is like "ok now I shoot lots of crap at you" rather than "I'll shield myself with fairies while I throw a giant clipwall before the fairies turn into a clusterfuck before I run over you while you try to PoC"
EoSD, IN and PCB are fun on lunatic.
The rest not so much.
-
Parsee's midboss is easy. Just shotgun regardless of character and tap left once. Then either bomb or take out the card quickly enough before the third part.
Memorize the stage 3 lasers, but preferably bomb the last part of the stage.
Only problem I have with stage 4 is the midboss for the same reason and the postmidboss streaming. Oh, and clipdeath on Satori's first 3 attacks. Orin's stage opener is usually an autobomb for me as well, but I sometimes capture it. The lasers aren't too bad once the amulets are gone.
What do you mean loleasystage? It's the hardest one in the game. Orin isn't gimmicky, she just kicks your ass.
-
Bananamatic, you can't just say that those attacks are gimmicky - that's assuming the readers will automatically agree with you. Why are they gimmicky, and furthermore, why is this a bad thing?
parsee's midboss
pretty much every boss card
Pretty much what I said above, what is so bad about them?
st3 LASERS FUCKING EVERYWHERE
They're all static, aimed, or (in the case of her second boss nonspell) slow enough to activate that reaction-dodging is very feasible. Learn the patterns, no excuses.
st4:amulets, amulets, lasers, bullshit midboss, amulets, lasers, amulets, clipdeath, bullshit, wallshit, clipdeath(guess which part is which)
Everything except the two Orin sections is static or micromemorizeable. Again, learn the patterns.
st5:lolisthisevenlunaticHOLYSHITMIDBOSSloleasystage gimmick boss
I agree Stage 5 is hard, perhaps for the wrong reasons too, but does that itself classify it as "gimmicky" in a sense? And do you mean to place "loleasystage gimmick boss" as Stage 6 by any chance?
I like it better when the midboss is like "ok now I shoot lots of crap at you" rather than "I'll shield myself with fairies while I throw a giant clipwall before the fairies turn into a clusterfuck before I run over you while you try to PoC"
I imagine you're talking about Orin, though her Stage 5 midboss doesn't exactly match what you've given (no fairy summoning, last I checked). It's not like you'd be able to take her out before she gets her lanes set up and fired anyway, and you should be ashamed if you let yourself get run over after the Catwalk.
EoSD, IN and PCB are fun on lunatic.
The rest not so much.
Well, "fun" is subjective, but that's all I wish to say about that.
Responses in bold.
-
I mean st2 midboss noncard
>micromemorization
bleh
st4 is boring and too much memorization
the midboss is stupid, shields herself and causes too much clipdeath
st5 is trivial, the midboss is equally stupid and the boss just isn't fun at all
Touhou needs more cards like Flower Dream Vine or Hell God Sword.
I don't want to micromem, I want to DODGE

Hey guess what. I fucked up my perfect record for Large Box and Small Box with ReimuA just for you.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7157
This captures the midboss noncard at 1.xx power. You need some extra movement for 2.xx power as well. But if you're arriving there at under 3.xx power anyway, you're doing something wrong. And 3.xx ends it before it becomes a threat.
The rest of the replay wasn't very serious. Feel free to ignore it or laugh at it.
Edit: Just tried with the other shot types. Your precious ReimuA sucks in comparison for this nonspell.
ReimuB requires the same amount of power
ReimuC easily captures it at 1.xx power
Unfocused MarisA can do it at 3.xx power
MarisaC can shotgun it without a threat at 2.xx power.
Didn't try MarisaB as I don't have the stage unlocked for her, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be much of an issue with Wood shotgun.
Edit: Just tried it. Wood Shotgun annihilates the nonspell at 1 power.

HRtP Makai Route Lunatic 1cc. First time without any slowdown/lag, 8th time total I think. No sound 'cause school computer.
Stupid font refused to work and I tried MS Mincho, which looked like this :
#C#O#N#G#R#A#T#U#L#A#T#I#O#N#S#!#
#R#O#U#N#D#1#C#L#E#A#R#!#
Still trying to make the game not freeze for 3 seconds whenever I try to record.
If I can't figure it out I'll post a vid to show what I get.
EDIT : - Managed to load the right font in Anex86 on a better computer
- Solved the orb flickering problem
- Set it up to remove any lag
So everything should work fine, right? OF COURSE NOT. The sound is unsynched by 1 full second, on any setting, even the default one, something that didn't happen last week. I tried VSynch (lol playing at 600 FPS), Timer, everything in Window, (un)checking every box in the Sound tab, playing around with the Buffer, PlayRate, waveout, etc. All it did was either nothing, make the game look like crap or crash the emulator.
This is getting really fucking annoying. It's been a month I've tried to set Anex86 to be anywhere near decent for recordings. It just likes to throw random problems at me for whatever reason. And I don't want to try another emulator, which will probably have other problems I won't know how to solve either anyway.
BUT, changing to ASynch on my laptop made the game run perfectly for the first time ever (though it doesn't seem to like VSynch or Timer). The music had never played correctly for more than 15 seconds, and now it played well for over 2 minutes. I still have to see how much lag HyperCam will add when I record, but finally I might be able to do something.
EDIT 2 : Doesn't seem to lag while I record. There are still two problems though :
- I have to use Virtual Audio Cable to record the sound, so I have to play without any sound.
- Even by setting the recording area with X=0, Y=35, Width=640, Height=400, I still get a black screen when I try to record fullscreen.
-
Two accomplishments:
- IN Normal 1cc, 6B path. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7160)
Today was the first time I sat down to do this (after having 1cc'd the 6A path weeks ago), and nailed it on my first try that got past Stage 2 without dying. It's not the cleanest run by any means - I kinda wish I did better on her Last Spells.
- IN Extra perfect stage portion. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7159)
I'm still not sure how much I like this one, really. And ignore my craptastic Mokou run after that - only my second time fighting her.
-
FINALLY (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7161)
The whole thing is just a big giant CHOKE which choked just barely less than usual, though. Even managed to score substantially lower than on two failed runs.
-
I mean st2 midboss noncard
Unfailable. I just captured it with MarisaA with 0.xx power in one attempt. With anything above that the thing is trivial.
>micromemorization
bleh
Quite so. Its no fun to micromemorize things but that's unfortunatly necessary quite often in shmups. Its normal to have to remember spawn locations but SA Stage 3 is really quite easy. If you don't want to memorize, you'll need 2, maybe 3, bombs and you'll pretty much have power ready at the boss.
st4 is boring and too much memorization
the midboss is stupid, shields herself and causes too much clipdeath
Once again, its pretty much only a matter of remembering in what sequence what happens. Its not like you have to follow very specific movements in order to do it. Midboss Orin has dense pattern but if you can't beat it you can just bomb and pretend you do it for score!
st5 is trivial, the midboss is equally stupid and the boss just isn't fun at all
If you want a challenge then just stop bombing and enjoy Orin's Streamland with Popcorn. Orin herself are one of the hardest bosses in Touhou. Maybe your problem is that she is too hard for you? That might very well be the case. I remember hating certain bosses but after getting better i started to see the light.
Touhou needs more cards like Flower Dream Vine or Hell God Sword.
I don't want to micromem, I want to DODGE
Agreed

True. Its pretty often i make near-perfect runs against Orin. I often die by Needles of Yore though but that's her hardest attack. Shou's lasers are utter ridiculous though. Her spellcards are reasonable but her non-spells, the 1st and 2nd that is, sucks big time.
-
The first nonspell is reading. The second is bullshit :V
Isn't Needles of Yore just left-left-left-back to right-repeat? :V
-

Isn't Needles of Yore just left-left-left-back to right-repeat? :V
Reading yes but the toughness of the attack depends on Shou's mood. I've not been able to find a reliable way to manage it although i do capture it quite often. It doens't feel like anything but luck though.
About Needles of Yore. No, i'm almost certain that isn't the case. AFAIK the wheels aren't static or something like that but i remember Kefit talking about a counting system. How that works, i don't know but i know for sure that i find the spell very hard. It might just be a "Zengeku will suck at this no matter what" spell though.
-
I always find that the gap is slowly moving to the left :V
-
I think Syou could be better designed, but she's a better boss than Orin. The only one of Orin's attacks I actually like is Small Demon's Revival. Possessed Fairy is all sorts of terrible, enough to overshadow Vajra and Syou's second non-spell.
-
Possessed Fairy is all sorts of terrible

I finally 1cc'd PCB! Okay, it was on easy. And I was using extra lives. And I had zero bombs and lives at the end, but hey, I got to see a good ending for it finally. ;D
Now to do the same thing on normal, and practice for extra.
-
I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING MISDIRECT I WANT TO SHOOT AND DODGE

I thought you simply have to circle Orin one time and then position yourself under her and dodge random bullets? [/Reimu B] :V
-
That's how I captured it twice with ReimuA.
I just wish I could deal with the last nonspell. I haven't done it once. Same for Ghost Wheels, I always clip something or do a misread.
-
Possessed Fairy is all sorts of terrible, enough to overshadow Vajra and Syou's second non-spell.
Staying a bit to the left of Orin at the top of the screen when the card starts and then dashing under her from the right at the last moment makes the card pretty easy, plus you get to dodge random bullets! \o/
Also, ghost wheels are aimed yo.
-
so instead of left left left right I can just left right it all the way?
-
Yup.
You might want to wait a bit before moving so that two wheels are aimed at your position (listen to the sound of them getting fired).
-

Heh.
I just went to test this, and along the way I not only perfected midboss Orin for the first time, but beat her first non-spell without moving from the center. :3 Then I tried that strategy and it totally worked. Now it's just a generic Danmakufu card. :V And then? I went on to no death the stage and actually save it this time. I feel rather bad for wimping out on Orin's last two spell cards and bomb spamming, but this run had too many good things to screw it up. This will be my next video. :>
-
Yup.
You might want to wait a bit before moving so that two wheels are aimed at your position (listen to the sound of them getting fired).
Doesn't that cut it kind of close, though? You also have the random bullets to dodge, and doing it this way makes it somewhat like Utsuho's first card in principle. Makes me wonder if this is a reason for other methods (i.e. Kefit's counting) sounding more feasible.

So I was bored tonight and was looking around stuff at my computer and I saw the Touhou folder and I was like "sure, why not."
Then I lasted 130 seconds on VoWG Lunatic without dying or bombing.
btw the last time I played Touhou before this was like May 2009.
-
Next you should play UFO lunatic. :V
Or are you still of the majority opinion that the game sucks? :(
-
It is highly likely that I will never play UFO again.
It is also highly likely that I won't be getting back into Touhou any time soon. I just decided to see how much I suck now, and was surprised to find out that I don't. Skill in these games doesn't seem to fade after a long time away from them, unlike other video games I have been skilled at in my life.
-
Bah. :( I think it'd be cool to give tips to you for once, but I can't change your mind.

wat
Why does UFO suck
Lame attacks for which the only real strategy is micromemorization, idiotic lives system, generally unfun danmaku as a whole. YMMV, mind you, but I'm squarely in the "okay, WTF ZUN?!?" camp on this one. Bizarrely enough the Extra Stage is tolerable and a major improvement on SA's Extra Stage.
-
A Kefit post... followed by Alice speaking truth. This is the bestest page in ages!!!
I wonder if Kefit even tried it aside from the demo...
-
Actually, what Alice / bofh said is in direct contradiction with a certain other viewpoint. Either way; opinions are just opinions. Though, I am in agreement to most of those points. Some of the danmaku is terribly designed, and it falls down more to luck and not skill to survive it *coughgraytesttrayshurecough*.
And I just had a thought. It's a bizarre thought, so listen up you people who play UFO :V
What if... ZUN intentionally made "GT" so "luck-based" so that you would consider bombing it in a normal run (hell, even practice)? When you think about the Post-Mid-Boss waves for a moment, it even makes sense to encourage the players to do this. And before you even think "ugh, terrible design", keep in mind that this type of thing is actually quite commonly done in other shmups; bombing for more points / more resources / etc.
.
Speaking of UFO Lunatic and various UFO-related points, I should get around to polishing up my runs! First, more practice so I won't be able to fail on Stage 6 like my countless number of other tries; with or without handicaps. Also, that terrible excuse of a MarisaB 1cc; I seriously want to improve it because it was such a shocking run
.
Still slaving myself at UFO Stage 6. Nothing much happened between the last update and now. Though, I'm getting really close to consistently capping that nasty first Spell Card with ReimuB. And for reasons unknown, I can't do the last Spell Card without colliding into a bullet now; it's almost like as if I lost the ability to do it in exchange for learning something else.
Though, I did swap for a bit and went to Stage 5; and saw myself being able to Perfect Syou on a whim. Nothing too special; I've done it a few times now. The only problem is the Mid-Boss (much like another Stage 5; heh).
The most bizarre part of it this time is how I noted that I can survive the 2nd non-spell at a much higher rate if I'm to the left of the (large) bullets, but not the right. It's almost as if the bullets were well... off-center. I think this warrants some testing tomorrow.
And, I also swapped again to Stage 4 to see what I could do on a whim, and found myself laughing off the Survival Spell Card No Focus. I remember the days where we all complained about it.
I missed seeing Kefit around ;_;
-
Hmm... yeah, that is true. All the stages have been perfected except Stage 5. I wonder how long it will be before someone makes a perfect run of UFO Stage 5 - of course with a forward-focus type. We wouldn't want to trivialize anything in the stage. I'd seriously like to see someone do that spam at the end. Not the orbs, the fairies who shoot red bullets.
EDIT:
What if... ZUN intentionally made "GT" so "luck-based" so that you would consider bombing it in a normal run (hell, even practice)? When you think about the Post-Mid-Boss waves for a moment, it even makes sense to encourage the players to do this. And before you even think "ugh, terrible design", keep in mind that this type of thing is actually quite commonly done in other shmups; bombing for more points / more resources / etc.
.
You mean like MoF Stage 2 Mid-boss? The difference is only that "Biorhythm of the Apotropaic God" is incredibly easy unlike "GT"
If you don't have any bombs when you get there, you're basically screwed. That's not good design.

'kay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7170) :V
Also includes a pretty lulzy Shou battle.
Baity's method of going a bit to the left at her second nonspell seems to work. I caught it at 1 power!
While fooling around I think I found a good strategy for the end of stage orbs...
-
OK now do UFO. Or SA. Or PoDD. Any of those will do.
Or if you don't want to sink so much time into them, just perfect Remilia, that should be easier.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I couldn't even do PCB and UFO Hard yet >:(
Congratufreakinlations!!
omg u r loony.

EDIT: Watched your replay. Classic MoF Lunatic run. Still, i suppose you can has Lunatic title now. ;)
And your saying I'm fast.
Congratulations!
Thanks !
This is probably the best moment since I 1cc'd, um, UFO Easy :>
>micromemorization
bleh
Touhou needs more cards like Flower Dream Vine or Hell God Sword.
I don't want to micromem, I want to DODGE
QFT.
Oh, Kefit ish back, yay C:
Now for today's accomplishments.
- 2DNB Utsuho. Failed twice on UNR, and captured THE REST.
- Found BoWaP's safespot ?
That's pretty much it. My skills suddenly went down after that 1cc :/
-
Arrgh, Parasol Star Memories is bullshit! What's something like that doing in Stage 2 anyway? Anyway, i'm closing in on Perfect Kogasa. Got near-consistency on her other cards but PSM... i haven't captured it once. I know if i want a fast perfect clear then i should just switch to SanaeB to trivialize PSM. That might actually be a good solution...
'kay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7170) :V
This is gonna be good. I'll go watch it right away. :)
-

How do you do the orbs again ? Aside from starting at the center, back down while shooting, pick a side and pray ?

I'd ask what's her SECOND spell card doing in a Stage 2 >_>
Isn't it Orin's last non-spell ? With SMALLER bullets ? :V
-
Watched Jaimer's replay. Almost managed to pull it off myself but got hit by the final few bullets. Then i guess there isn't really anything standing in the way for a Perfect Stage 5 run...

Isn't it Orin's last non-spell ? With SMALLER bullets ? :V
That too is a good question. Though it doesn't concern me as much as the 1st card. The 2nd card doesn't belong at all and actually does resemble Orin's final non-spell a bit but Orin's final non-spell is a lot more pattern-based while Kogasa's second card is random.
But yeah, its her 1st that i think is most displaced. It shouldn't even be in the game, its a cheap spellcard that I for some reason can't even capture once without resorting to SanaeB. I recall FAV saying that the card was harder than VoWG. I can only agree to that. It just lasts shorter.

I think I found one too. It's more consistent than any other strategy: Circle under the enemies, but don't shoot. I think it's 100% consistent to at least clear them, but you still have to dodge stray bullets.
Also Zengeku, I've done that spam too. :V I think I did it twice in a row in fact. Of course that was a while ago...
-
I won against Shinki with no lives lost on her stage.
Nostalgia rush. It's there~
-
Also Zengeku, I've done that spam too. :V I think I did it twice in a row in fact. Of course that was a while ago...
Yes i can see it certainly is doable if you hug the wall. All this time, i have done it in the middle of the screen. Worked on Hard mode but Lunatic calls for alternative measures as always.
-
This is one of those runs where you think it turns out to be complete garbage anyways, but once I saw how "lucky" I was, I decided to save the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7173). See description for more details.
Total attempts today: 3
The fairy-spam is easy enough by the way.
The orb-spam is a perfect mix of micromem and parse bullets quickly. At least the bullets don't clump up and spread constantly like one other Spell Card.
If you don't have any bombs when you get there, you're basically screwed. That's not good design.
>:3
Protip: I aim for Green UFOs when I know I need more bombs.
-
I just captured Virtue of Wall God on Hard mode. On my first try. Ever. No, really, I have never faced that card on any difficulty higher than Normal before. And I just captured it. What.
-
Absolutely trashed UFO Normal with ReimuB. The jump to Hard is ridiculous and then some.
-
What. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7176)
No, seriously, what? Stage 6 of MoF Hard, no deaths? And my VoWG capture rate is now 3/4? Huh?
-
The only stuff worth it on UFO is extra and stage practice on lunatic.
And even that gets ruined by the constant 1 power.
ZUN, go back to 6/7/8 mechanics. Now.
-
I'd prefer a combo of IN(not counting that 2 bombs for a deathbomb shit) and MoF/SA. Score extends over point item extends, with maybe another way to get a few as well.
There's a reason I play those 3 the most.
EoSD too. PCB, UFO, and most of PC98, I'd rather forget existed, but I can't.
-
I find the older games much easier to control.
Just make EoSD with a visible hitbox and less stupid bullet hitboxes and I'd be happy...but knowing ZUN, he'll just put another silly gimmick in there.
-
I'm happy with this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVIn1xZ6u98)
Except for where the second death shows up .....
-
Just tried timing it out some.
Was consistently getting 2 death no bomb timeouts. The worst was a 4 death no bomb timeout.
-
I was looking through UFO and remembered that I had Extra unlocked for SanaeA. On a whim, I picked it up, thinking "she doesn't have piercing, let's see how badly this goes :V"
Did the stage portion no-deaths, captured Red UFOs for the first time, and got past Undefined Darkness for the first time.
On the rage side, I forgot the spellcard order at one point, and went up the the upper-left corner when Green UFOs started, and took a UFO to the face. I was so stunned after that that I got hit by an actual bullet. On Green UFOs. At least it wasn't with bombs in stock :(
Rainbow UFOs is just insane oh my god.
-
More EoSD shenanigans. ND2B Stage 5 and 1D?B (don't remember exactly) Stage 6, both on Normal. Um, yay?
I find the older games much easier to control.
Did you start out with those? It's certainly feasible that player preferences can differ depending on which mechanics they got used to first. I know that's the case with me - my first was SA, and I'm more comfortable with its (and MoF's) movement mechanics.
Just remake EoSD with a visible hitbox and less stupid bullet hitboxes and I'd be happy.
Fixed. EDIT: Oh, and replace Eternal Meek with something more sensible for a bullet hell game.
-

What are you talking about? Eternal Meek is the purest example of bullet hell there is. :S
-

IMO it's too fast for something so random. Now you may or may not agree with me here, but I've always thought of bullet hells as using attacks that reward strategic thinking rather than crazy reflexes. The latter is a job for manic shooters. That's not to say no games out there can mix the two aspects, of course, but then I wouldn't view them as just bullet hell. And going back to Touhou, I'm perfectly fine with attacks being fast as long as they're not completely random (it allows room for proper thinking that way).
I guess in some ways my previous statement comes down to personal preference, as I'm not crazy about manic shooters, and opinions (like yours) can vary.
-
Rainbow UFOs is just insane oh my god.
But it's easier than Red and Blue
:(
-
make EoSD with a visible hitbox
go play some PC-98
[Eternal Meek is] too fast for something so random
go play Fantasy Seal -Fader- at double speed
-
go play Fantasy Seal -Fader- at double speed
By that logic, you can go play UFO at double speed if you think Lunatic is too difficult as is.
-
Eternal Meek
Safespot if other counter measures fail.
-
Never knew it had a safespot. Then again, I'm using MarisaA so odds are it'll be somewhere out of range...
On the side, I'd consider it an accomplishment that I'm getting comfortable using Marisa without the visible hitbox. Not perfect by any means, but I did make it most of the way through a thick wall in "Red Magic" on a whim, and successfully grazed between multiple lasers and metal fatigue (is that really what they're called?) bullets on her first card.
-
I have NEVER captured Eternal Meek with the "safe"spot. The place remains safe for about three seconds until a bullet invariably spawns on top of me.
-
That's normally an indicator that you didn't position yourself "close enough" to the center of the safespot. It happens.
-
Huh, I just captured Eternal Meek with the safespot. :V It's absolutely no fun though, so I won't do it ever again.
-
It's absolutely no fun though, so I won't do it ever again.
Exactly the same reason why you don't (normally) do "BoWaP" with the safespot. Unless you're going for score
or that juicy first 1cc
.
...the only exception to that is... when you try something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRnlGy58Enw#t=0m52s) and want to get past the "humanly impossible" without eating more resources :V
-
By that logic, you can go play UFO at double speed if you think Lunatic is too difficult as is.
How do I get the VSync patch to work with UFO then ? :/
The in-game FPS remained at 60 fps, even with VSync=0.
-
Bah. 1st 1cc is no excuse to use BoWaP safespot!
-
Perfected Yuki and Mai on Hard. Failed the 1cc though.
Edit: Captured Byakuren's final card on Normal with Sanae A. With that, I've captured each UFO Normal card at least once with at least one of the characters.
-
So, the thread on PoDD inspired me to try the game again with Kana just for shits and giggles; see how far I could get.
I 1cc'd it for the first time. (http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8392/poddk.jpg)

I never saw why people complain about the lack of visible hitbox in EoSD/PC-98. I find it incredibly distracting, to be totally honest; I can't see anything incoming, so I end up panicking and eventually failing. I just memorized the location and look at the area above my character sprite.
Also, tried a random SanaeA run of Byakuren (Normal, don't have her unlocked for Hard), somehow managed to capture Milky Way at 1.xx power with no-horizontal, followed by a 1.xx power capture of Devil's Recitation and a 2.xx power capture of St. Nikou's Air Scroll.
Then of course I died to Flying Fantastica like six times but whatever. It's weird how I love that card and think it's a brilliant design, but I'm so utterly horrible at it.
-
Reached Nue's darkness spellcard. I'm getting closer to my first Extra cleared without having watched a replay beforehand.
I just have to not die to her first spellcard with two bombs in stock, not die to Red UFO two or three times, all with two bombs in stock, not die to Blue UFO, AGAIN with two bombs in stock... though that one was because my keyboard screwed up from too many key presses. Oh, and not die to the last wave of enemies in the stage, with two bomb in stock.
-
UFO extra progress/woes
Are you using ReimuB? Because that sounds like a classic ReimuB extra run, what with ReimuB being sort of... unreliable for UFO extra.
-
I 1CCed IN Normal at 4:00 AM. Which happens to be the in-game time as well. :P
Ignoring the fact that I had to start with 7 lives. I was really, really tired.
-
Hai there MarisaC. I wonder what will happen if I play SA Extra (which I've only beaten once and never looked back) at midnight with a weirdo shot type?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7195
First time playing SA Extra with anyone other then Reimu/MarisaA.
That bomb... holy crap. I actually DID all that stuff in there? Embers of Love and Genetics, especially... holy craaaap. I would have captured Genetics there if I hadn't been at 1 power. I was at 1 power almost the entire fight, actually.
Yes, I royally freaked out on the last phase of Philosophy, and I haven't faced Subterranean Rose in FOREVER (I've only faced it like twice period, anyway), and I totally forgot everything.
But just wait till you see the end. Oh GOD, I cannot -believe- that timing. I'm not even sure which topic this belongs in anymore.
EDIT:Beat it with her on my next run, although it was much less spectacular. Still feels good! Still capped all the same spells as last time, with the addition of Youkai Polygraph, which I had to do a thrice-as-batshit dodge as last time. MarisaC's bomb really instills confidence when I have to move through 2 different hitbox-size spaces before the laser kills me :V
-
VoWG: 1/31.
That took a while, even if it was the first try in a week or so. It's nice to finally have it out of the way, though.
-
Are you using ReimuB? Because that sounds like a classic ReimuB extra run, what with ReimuB being sort of... unreliable for UFO extra.
I'm using Reimu A. I just suck at bombing, and most of those deaths happened because I had already trashed the run on the first spellcard so I really didn't care anymore.
And now, this :
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee32/firestormiv/hrtpeasy.jpg)
HRtP Easy 3-deaths no-bombs clear. 1 on Elis, 1 on Sariel's lasers, the last one because I slid directly into a bullet as I killed Sariel's 2nd phase. Upon trying Easy again I noticed some interesting stuff :
- Extra lives are harder to get on Easy than on Lunatic, as points from chains raise much slower.
- Some boss attacks are identical on all difficulties. This includes Sariel's bullshit laser spam, and most of her third phase. Others are only slightly easier; there are less bullets, but the way they are spread means the gaps are barely any larger.
- YuugenMagan's arrow-shooting attack is harder on Easy than on Lunatic. On Lunatic, if you stand directly under one of the eyes, they'll leave a big gap in the corner and the bullet lines won't ever get close to each other (at least on the first phase, as you face this attack twice). On Easy, I couldn't find a spot where the two lines of arrows wouldn't leave you with only a small space to move into.
No video because the sound unsyncs and the video playbacks at about 120 FPS whenever I try to record. Fuck Anex86 and PC-98 in general.

You are a bold man for approaching the midboss opener that way. Is it really that hard when done normally to warrant your method?
And am I the only one who likes to go right up to Orin on her second boss nonspell? Everyone else I see just stays near the center of the screen, going up through the lanes as the wisps explode. But going literally just below her means few to none of her bullets will appear above you, and you only have the exploding wisps' shots to worry about. I know this works on Hard, but I've yet to see how feasible it is for Lunatic, so I don't know.

Here's my list:
EoSD - Normal 1cc Reimu B (yesterday actually)
PCB - Normal 1cc Reimu A, Sakuya A
IN - Normal 1cc Scarlet Team
PoFV - Hard 1cc Sakuya, Yuka
MoF - Normal 1cc Reimu C
SA - Easy 1cc all characters, Normal Utsuho's final Card Marisa A(i suck at SA)
UFO - 1st run 1cc Easy Reimu A, Normal Byakuren's final card Sanae B
Extra: Ran(Sakuya A)
IaMP - Sakuya 1cc Normal
SWR/12.3 - All characters 1cc story mode normal | I also consistently play on Lunatic difficulty and have absolutely no difficulty beating any regular matches.
I'm not good at danmaku memorization. :<
-
You aren't supposed to memorize it :V
Atleast not until Lunatic. I don't remember a single card from anything easier.
-
Went back and captured every card up to and including Level 8 in StB except for one on Lv5 and 8.
Hey, I just unlocked StB's EX, YEAAAAAA-holy crap I can't even come close to beating anything except the first and last (Final picture on those two. Aww.)
-
Oh, I don't usually do midboss Orin's first non-card that way, especially not in a real run. I just like doing attacks the wrong way. :3 I used to be utterly unable to do the attack, but once I got a new computer and got a constant speed on it it stopped being an issue.
As for how I did it, it may possibly have to do with :dragonforce:

By the way, you shouldn't do Orin's non-spell like that because it makes the Post-Mid-Boss orbs "hang around" longer. You don't want that.

SA Stage 3 Lunatic 2DNB run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7203)
Haven't done this stage in a week. First try that got past the midboss card without dying (I had to relearn the pattern), and I perfected everything except Mt. Ooe, where I died twice. I honestly wish I had enough time left in the day to justify grinding the rest of Lunatic; this is otherwise the perfect time to get started. I know I'm ready.
-
Alright. I may suck at Devil's Recitation and for now i'm just gonna consider it "Hell's Tokamak Effect" as in - a card that everybody thinks is really easy that i for some reason fail ridiculously at.
Instead. I have made 1-death timeout of RTG Lunatic. Two times. I guess the next goal in my Touhou gaming career is a complete RTG Timeout. Its only 40 seconds so i should be able to handle it.
Mainly because RTG is a 100x more fair than anything Byakuren has imo (well of her difficult stuff that is.)
-
I don't think it's easy. I'm much more likely to capture Hell and Heaven Meltdown than Hell's Tokamak.
-
Captured Mt. Ooe again. Yay ? :<
I suck horribly at SA Stage 3 >_>
Anyway, Perfect Yamame Lunatic ! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7206) I have no idea how I did her opener, really.
-
I don't think it's easy. I'm much more likely to capture Hell and Heaven Meltdown than Hell's Tokamak.
Do you know where that post went wrong? ;)
Hells Tokamak is Hard/Lunatic version and Hell and Heaven Meltdown is Easy/Normal version. Isn't it obvious that you would have an easier time with the lower difficulty version?
Captured Mt. Ooe again. Yay ? :<

Would you believe it if i told you that 12 of my 18 timeouts of that spell was no-focus? :V Sorry couldn't resist! ;)
Seriously though: Nice job with Yamame there. That non-spell is probably the only thing that has kept me from doing so. Does anyone know a way to deal with that?
-
Out of curiosity I tried UFO pacifist. 1D1B run of Stage 5 on my first try, with Sanae.
-
That non-spell is probably the only thing that has kept me from doing so. Does anyone know a way to deal with that?
Here's how to do it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7015) It may be a thick wall when she moves down like that, but it doesn't cover the whole screen. The solution, get out of its way altogether.

I'm honestly not sure if I've ever perfected Yamame. ;>_> I'm sure I have, at some point, but...yeah, don't know for sure.

I can't go over 1,800,000,000 with Youmu solo and meh I completely sucked on the last stages. (I bombed Fire Rat's robe, DO YOU IMAGINE THE SHAME EASY MODE ? I captured Rainbow Danmaku after but it is easy so it doesn't count...failed one last spell, I use to capture it every time in spell practice >_<)

I somehow just capped all of remelia's spellcards besides red magic on normal, while singing a crappy a capella of her theme.

Wasn't sure if I perfected SA stage 1 either, so I did it just now. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7220)
Second attempt, the first failed because I misjudged the hitbox on Kisume's bucket lasers (it's like the entire fucking sprite).
I don't get all the hate. :|

for me, this is why (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6956). Grazing in stage 1 is a so much of importance that I had to restart if I can't do the stage like that. The success rate is so low, especially at the early interleaving 2 big fairies.

I don't get all the hate. :|
It's Yamame's opener, really (and probably Kisume). I keep telling people that it's always manageable, but I almost feel like no one's listening... Not to mention that she doesn't always try to screw you over, so restarting to get an easier opener is more viable than you think.
for me, this is why (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6956).
You're going for score, so you restrict what options you have. Merely perfecting the stage leaves you a lot more freedom to experiment, and anything that works usually doesn't overshadow anything else that works.

UFO Lunatic 1cc All Shot (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=BaitySM&g=12&p=&t=0&d=4&c=1&ch=0) Types (http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/untitl35.jpg)*.
The MarisaA one has a terrible score (compared to the rest; only a measly 250mil give or take), as I only decided to focus on "survival" (that, and the strat for scoring / survival-scoring is entirely different from the others). Needless to say, I "abused" the Bomb System. No replay for you.
Hm. Maybe I should get around to completing No Deaths, No Focus and No Bombs runs. And more masterful survival-score runs.
-
woo, IaMP normal 1cc
IaMP's controls are so goddamn counterintuitive, and using Alice doesn't makes things any easier. Fortunately there's always 66B.
-
^ That was one lucky dodge right at the beginning of the second pellet hell section.
Was totally planned. :dragonforce:
Anyway, the run is now on Youtube~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK8bdov6XsE)
-
Finally beat PCB on normal with Reimu B this time. I had 2 lives left and one bomb left. I started to get a bit nervous on yuyuko's stage and so I had a few needless deaths.
I also managed to get Youmu's Ageless Obsession spellcard and the Prismriver Sisters final spellcard

I can never feel happy doing an accomplishment, because I know you or Baity or Krim will come and do it in a much shorter time frame. :<

You can knock me off that list for now. Haven't played in a couple weeks and haven't even bothered reinstalling Touhou since I reformatted my computer because the game caused too much rage the last few times I played it.

Protip: You can tell if it's the right replay by looking at the replay data, such as difficulty and type, since you don't choose those. Also, if you're not sure, type in a password so you can alter it later if it did come out wrong.
-
Not to sound rude... but anyone have feedback for me? :V
-
Another protip: People usually don't download your replays unless it's either something they really want to see or it's one heck of an accomplishment. It's a cruel truth, but it applies to all of us. A replay uploaded is more a sign of proof that you accomplished something, and if you don't tell us what you did chances are we won't react to it.
Or at least, that's what I believe from my experience.
-
and if you don't tell us what you did chances are we won't react to it.
I assume this means "say what you did and we will give feedback". I beat PBC Stage 4 on Hard for the 1st time! :toot: Nothing special to pros, but for me this truly is :toot:
-
EoSD Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7235)
That took a lot less time than I expected. It was pretty much just "practice stage 4 a bunch of times and then attempt a clear." Oh and two ragequits on Cirno's first spell card, so then I decided to just auto bomb it.
That leaves just UFO (and PoFV I guess, but I refuse to play that) from all the Windows shooters.
Unfortunately, I can't make it past stage 3 :V
-
Just made it to Lunatic Boss Orin despite dying 4 times on stage 3, then I died stupidly twice to game over on her.
After getting past stage 1 and 2 for the first time today, I was determined to not ragequit that try, and I pull that off.
-
Making lots of progress in UFO Hard. I have Stages 1 and 2 down perfectly (Nazrin Pendulum and Super Water-Repelling Bone-Dry Monster are autobombs tho'). Ichirin's cards for me are all autobombs though, but I have the stage portion down pretty well, I think...Stage 4's not too bad either, as long as I don't mess up my UFO-chaining. I think I can get this 1cc down.
-
You can micromem both of Nazrin's boss cards. It's not needed for the first, but on Hard it's pretty much necessary for the second. Not necessary on the Lunatic version, but it helps though since I was able to sightread capture the Lunatic one.
-
Oh I captured NP Lunatic on my first try (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm5vJZ-OBmc) [/channelwhoring], I know that. I've been trying to micromemorize the Hard version, but it's just so frustrating to do. D:
-
Nazrin Pendulum almost timed out. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7244
There's no reason I could have survived the few more seconds if I had chosen to, but I wanted another capture.

I captured them all forever ago, but I finally got my Last Word videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKz5BJXWDYQ&fmt=22) onto YouTube. Only Yukari's card is a really notable watch, though. >_>;

Good Omen "Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple" Lunatic Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ueth2JbLlTA)

-
Touhou Soccer IaMP lunatic 1cc! Alice's dolls, Alice's schdolls, Alice beats story mode by kicking everyone in the shins. One death vs. Youmu (damn Triple Pain), one death vs. Yukari (GODDAMN LASER SPAM), one death at Suika. And to think that until a couple of days ago I had never reached Suika on normal, and couldn't get out of stage 1 on lunatic. Replay attached for those interested. (whoa it's a large file. better put it elsewhere (http://www.mediafire.com/?drmzynzmtmg))
That makes it 13 lunatic 1ccs... only EoSD, SA and UFO remaining.
-
Which one are you most likely to 1cc from those?
I've only gotten up to Stage 4 of EoSD on Lunatic before losing all my lives then credit fed the rest.
UFO Lunatic got to Stage 3 despite me only being able to get to Stage 4 on Hard.
SA Lunatic, I died when Utsuho's last card was clearing, I know I can do it cause I'm pretty consistent unlike most of the others, just need to not die 3 or 4 times on stage 3/4.
-
EoSD Extra 100% focused with ReimuA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7248), by request of Donut. Finished 2/3, captured 10 cards (lol, Laevateinn). Capped everything past Maze of Love; highlight of the run was definitely the QED capture. That was a nice distraction from bees~
-
Which one are you most likely to 1cc from those?
EoSD is more or less guaranteed as soon as I can be arsed to make a couple of "practice" runs in a row to refresh my memory; SA is going to take longer because SA is full of deaths from fucking nowhere and makes me angry before I can make two full runs, which means I'm always forgetting stuff.
UFO... I still haven't 1cc'ed UFO hard, so yeah, I'm not even going to bother with it for a while. I simply don't have a chance at my current level.

-
For some strange reason I felt in the need of capturing my last few missing spellcards in IN so I sat down today and got...
- Yukaris Last Word with Reimu in 15 tries
- Hourai Elixir Lunatic with Reimu in 27 tries
- Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Marisa in exactly 160 tries
Strangely Hourai Jewel seemed to be the most fun to do...
-
5DNB Kanako, and finally got VoWG to 1/5 of its HP.
Also captured Jade of the Horrid River and got Suwa War down to 4 seconds.

I know Reimu's hitbox is small, but I'm still not sure how you didn't get hit by the lasers materializing while you were still inside them.
What's sad is that capturing this spell with Alice solo isn't all that much different from this video.

Perfected EoSD Hard Stage 6 No Vert, save for "Scarlet Gensokyo" where I died twice due to fingers hurting (for once) and panic bombed once.
Don't think I'll be bothering again thanks to RNG shenanigans. Though... upload? y/n

That be reason for me loving Reimu so much. Reimu's hitbox means that i have a little more clearance around bullets so clipping doesn't happen so much.

ReimuC
What.

But I hate UFO Hard. I'd rather do MS, EoSD< or PCB where I actually have a chance to 1cc Hard or now that that's out of the way IN, MoF, or PoFV Lunatic.
-
PCB lunatic is rather easy :V
-
I'm willing to play almost any of the shottypes.
ReimuA is good of course.
ReimuB has autocollect a situationally decent bomb, and close range unfocused does okay damage, plus Satori is actually fun.
ReimuC has a the best bomb, the options can make some parts easier when used right, one of the easiest Satori's.
MarisA has spread and more bombs plus it's a decent bomb up close.
MarisaB has versatility.
MarisaC has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She's inferior to ReimuA in every way and gets the hardest Satori fight.
-
Oh I see now.
looool This was really fun and hilarious. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7264) Maybe it's because I haven't had much sleep and everything is funny.
Unfortunately this run didn't have a really sweet near simultaneous "reach 1 power" + deathbomb at 0 lives left that I pulled off on the previous attempt. Oh man that was awesome. I really wish that attempt had succeeded. I was at 0 lives for pretty much the entire game starting at like stage 2, but then got a game over on Possessed Fairy at 4/5 life fragments. Had I finished that, the extra life + 4 bombs probably could have carried me to the end :V
Now to go capture Satori's Aya cards, which was the entire purpose of doing this in the first place.

Starlight Typhoon Lunatic No-Focus Timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTTUSUMYExM)
This spell is incredibly easy.
Or you could no focus timeout the card just by moveing to the upper-right corner and then slightly moving up and down...and that's pretty much it. I've done that a month ago out of boredom.
I have a video of it, but I haven't even uploaded it to YouTube, but if anyone wants me to upload it, I won't hesitate to do so.
Anyway...also out of boredom, though not that big of an accomplishment, I was goofing with easy mode IN cards and timed out Light Sign "Earth Light Ray" without movement, focus, vertical, pacifist, and whatever. As far as I know, this isn't even on YouTube (when I searched it). I was thinking of calling this title 'Marisa is a ⑨', but I don't know...there's always candidates for a title for this timeout run, though, so if you have a better title...

People would complain until they got used to it, I think. Probably it'd turn a lot of people away, and force everyone else's skill level up by quite a way to compensate; people would probably lose the reliance on bombing everything remotely hard and become better players for it. Aside from that, a Lunatic 1cc might be a really rare, incredible achievement again. :V
Oh God UFO Lunatic with six lives and three bombs per life only ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
You actually do get 6 lives if you don't chain any reds, assuming you capture stage 4 midboss Nue. Now if you don't "trivialize" things by chaining greens.
I'm sure Baity or Jaimers could probably do a no UFO summoning run by now. They seem skilled enough.

The ridiculous amounts of extends in Touhou don't mean that much at a high level of play, because usually a bomb or death in the wrong place destroys your score. So at the end of the day, it's just as perfectionist as any other shmup.
Well, that's how it would theoretically be, but no one gives a shit about score (though sometimes for good reason, God knows what I'd rather do than play MoF or SA for score).

touhou is bad for score lol
This. I don't remember ever playing a Touhou game and finding anything about the scoring enjoyable. PCB's system is clever and interesting, sure... but I've never actually found it fun, or had the urge to do anything to boost my score that might endanger my survival. Now, DoDonPachi, or, say, Giga Wing... those are scoring systems I can get behind. I purposefully take crazy risks all the time in those for that extra million (or trillion in the latter's case).
This also ties in nicely with my theory that how much fun you have playing for score in a shmup is directly proportional to the amount of gold, shiny things you get while doing it. :V
-
Auto item collection paired with wacky methods of boosting their value is stupid.
No shmup with actually fun stages will let you that high without instakilling you anyways.

What is your definition of a 'fun' stage anyway? Personally i find fun stages to be stages where you need to dodge a lot of bullets without it being too hard or repetitive. Every non-Touhou shmup i have played is either stages where pretty much everything is aimed at you or stages where everything is static and needs to be memorized. Of course utilizing the same boring colour palette.

-
I may practice up on it some, but I haven't even 1cc'd Hard on it, though I've made it up to Resurrection Butterfly 50% Reflowering on one credit. My main problem is probably with border timing though so I waste bombs or die on stuff a border should have dealt with.
I was thinking MoF or IN first. I may go do a ReimuA SA one sometime as well just because it's the standard for that game.

Of course utilizing the same boring colour palette.
This will be a long post. Bear in mind that I'm generally going to use DoDonPachi as a counter-example here, since it's the arcade shmup I'm most familiar with.
First off, though, as for the colour palette; this is a non-issue for me, as I play shmups for the gameplay rather than the graphics. If anything, then, the bullets in Touhou with their assortment of colours are inferior to the bright, glowing bullets of arcade shmups. Many people have voiced legitimate concerns over the bullets in Touhou blending in with the background, such as MS Stage 4 or UFO Stage 5. Obviously this isn't a really big deal, but I'd much rather have glowing bullets with clear outlines on a distinctly non-glowing background than a cluster of randomly aimed red/white glowing bullets with no outline on a glowing red background (graaagh Greatest Treasure).
Secondly, the pacing; Touhou stages are often praised for having music that synchronizes with the gameplay. This does look pretty cool, but I don't actually pay much attention to the BGM while frantically dodging bullets, so this doesn't really do anything for me. What happens instead is you get a wave of fairies spewing mostly the same bullets... then a few seconds later, after you've cleared them, you get some more. This doesn't happen so much in the newer games in the series, but it's glaringly obvious in places like PCB Stage 4. Arcade shmups (in general) are the exact opposite; they're designed not to leave you any breathing room. You will never be in a situation where you are waiting for the next wave to appear; rather, you're constantly moving about the screen, targeting the next set of enemies, weighing up which group of enemies is going to pose you a larger threat. It's exciting, and emerging unscathed from a hard-as-nails stage with no time to catch your breath gives an adrenaline rush unlike anything Touhou's slow stages will offer. I mean, hell, DoDonPachi's scoring system is based around this very concept; in order to keep any kind of decent chain going, you're going to want to average under a second between enemy kills, and waiting for more than a second or two between kills will end it immediately. The fact that you're able to do full stage chains in every stage except for stage 1 just goes to show how relentless and action-packed they are.
Thirdly, the variety; this may seem in conflict with what I've said earlier about not caring about graphics, but an average Touhou stage will consist of destroying rows of identical fairies and the occasional lone fairy on a repeated background. This is particularly noticable in something like IN Stage 3; it seems extremely disorganised and unmemorable due to its bland, repeated brown background and the fact that most of what it does is just pile a few of the fairies with the travelling familiars on the screen corners and have a few other fairies fly in from the side to fire aimed clusterfucks at you. It's not that it's particularly difficult (it isn't), it's just really, really boring. Constrast this, yet again, with an arcade shmup (here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-O7YmSS9s&feature=related) an example of what I consider to be a really fun stage, to give you an idea of what I mean). You have things like groups of turrets that fire spread patterns; laser turrets that pop out of destroyed buildings; large tanks that appear inside blown-up structures that fire aimed and static patterns at the same time; and a particularly interesting section half-way through where you have to balance out the destruction of large planes that fire dense, static patterns with groups of ever-increasing small tanks that fire aimed shots at you. Things like that help to keep the gameplay interesting.
There's probably more things to mention, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Bear in mind that all that doesn't mean I dislike Touhou; I love those games to pieces, but even ZUN has mentioned that the focus was always on the bosses rather than the stages, and it irks me when people disregard arcade shmups for reasons like 'having a boring colour palette'.

Pretty much. :V Blue moonrune squares just don't have the same must get factor as gold gems, or stars, or big shiny 'x1000' multipliers.The music "cues" are great for scoring purposes and other things you know.
Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier to figure out things like that by looking at the background rather than listening to the music. 'I'm at point X because I can see related point Y' just works more for me than 'I'm at point X because instrument Y just came in'. To each their own, though.

Fair enough. Also while going on about BIG SHINY ITEMS and such, I do recall hearing about one certain shmup that had the "Point Items" constantly changing values at random or something like that. Can't recall the name though.
Honestly, BIG SHINY ITEMS never had that sort of lure to me; perhaps I've been playing too many "bastard" RPGs
.

Touhou backgrounds are set on repeat; there are no "proper" points on them to use during the stages. Instead, you have to make your own points based on the music (well, for the stages anyway; bosses are a different matter of course).
I will concede to the point that its much easier to look at the background to find your reference points when dealing with other shmups that don't have scroll-repeat backgrounds in 95% of cases. Example; that previous video you posted... I guess? Or I could point to just about any other shmup and get it right.
i.e. To each their own game >:3

And I should probably pester my personal friend for a few replays now. I wonder how good she truly is?
EDIT: Oh, that was her limit; I guess she's not a Lunatic yet. Oh well, one could always hope~
EDIT 2: And now, Byakuren's "BS" First SC now has a capture rate of ~50% with ReimuA. Talk about overrated difficulty. Well, we'll see if it'll be 7/14 by the end of this little program.

The first pink shrapnel spam almost never hits you unless you stand still, and if the pre-boss one gives you too much trouble just summon an UFO. There should be plenty of them floating around >_>
Demonstration maybe (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7274)
1 bomb at post-Midboss!Nue fairies and 1 miss right after that, but that part can be safespotted. I could've missed a few pixels.

Shoot the middle fairy until it's near death but don't kill it, then when the popcorn enemies start raining shit down, kill the fairies from left to right. It might take some practice to get the timing down.
Congrats on the 1cc too. To be honest, SA's Lunatic is a bit easier than EoSD's, at least if you take the time to memorize everything.
-
take the time to memorize everything
lol taking the time to memorize everything
I was already annoyed at the time spent with EoSD lunatic, and the 1cc was only the fourth run to not ragequit before Remilia this week (granted, there were quite a lot of very early ragequits plus the occasional not-quite-early ones), and the second time I ever reached lunatic Scarlet Gensokyo without continuing (the first being a couple of days ago, on the second run this week). I had made about a dozen stage 6 practice runs last week, but all I learned was "arrive there with at least two spare lives and bomb pretty much everything". :V
-
Fast, nonstop action, no bullshit(st5 UFO).
Touhou is slow as hell with inconsistent difficulty(st5 PCB is a joke, st5 UFO is ridiculous, st5 SA is...eh)
Inconsistent difficulty is true enough but i would rather have stages be different from each other. My experiences with DDP had me spend every stage streaming pink bullets and a few blue bullets every once in a while and it would be all streaming.
First off, though, as for the colour palette; this is a non-issue for me, as I play shmups for the gameplay rather than the graphics.
I suppose the gameplay is the most important part of any game but i still hate when games have repetitive colours. It doesn't matter if it is Fallout 3 with its all-grey landscapes and buildings or DDP with its pink bullets all over the place.
If i have to play through the same levels again and again i will get bored almost instantaneously if they aren't beautiful and require you to employ tactics aside from streaming. It helps with different music too. DDP only has three for six stages. They aren't bad songs but it just makes things more repetitive.
No, do MoF and IN first :V
Doesn't really matter which one he picks. MoF can be bomb spammed and IN is sort of easy but PCB Lunatic is easier. I dunno if its because PCB S4 is easier than IN S4. Maybe its just my experience as i relied on death-bombing for the majority of my IN Lunatic 1cc which would consume 2 bombs instead of 1 thus giving me less bombs to use.
- Anything from MoF.
- IN Stage 5 and UFO Stage 4 (more pure dodging than streaming, and not too much bullshit).
- Human vs. Youkai.
Human vs. Youkai? What are you talking about? Also, UFO Stage 4 is one of the few positive things i can find about UFO. Its pretty fun. :)
What's so great about MoF Stages?
-

It works, so why not?

yeah won against Patchouli at hard without loosing a live
on the other hand i played terrible against cirno (i lost a live), meiling... and sakuya^^

finally captured Hypnotism lunatic and needle mountain lunatic

This whole 'Cave stages suck because they're all streaming' argument is really dumb tbh. You can't compare Cave streaming with Touhou streaming. In Cave games, the aimed shots all have an element of randomness (either in their rate of fire or where they're aimed) that forces you to a.) move a lot around the screen to misdirect them and b.) quickly read the gaps as you change directions.
Touhou stages are much more uniform in design and contain just as much streaming as Cave stages, but their aimed shots are almost always just straight lines of bullets aimed right at your hitbox that you can dodge just by tapping to the side at the bottom of the screen. Once you make that distinction, you will realize that DDP stage 6 contains more raw dodging than all of the stages in EoSD combined.
And Cave games aren't beautiful? lol wut? There's more to shmup designs/aesthetics than the color of bullet patterns dude. Look at the backgrounds once in a while. Listen to the awesome explosions. Watch that giant laser as it destroys hordes of enemies in a single sweep. If that's not art, I don't know what is. :V

Perfect Youmu Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzQ6E6s_mKM)
This whole 'Cave stages suck because they're all streaming' argument is really dumb tbh.
It might be very different from Touhou streaming but it is still streaming. I would just for now focus on Stage 1 and 2 of DDP. Basically it is flying back and forth on the screen and it goes on forever. Boring. Later, the stages become harder and longer. But i don't like long stages. Especially not when all they contain are pink aimed waves of bullets. It doesn't really matter what shape or how the waves look.
It's not like i'm complaining about lack of difficulty because its certainly hard enough. Its just boring in its design. The only reason i would play the game is for the boss fights but they are so short. Basically i would love the game if just the boss:stage ratio was swapped. I think.
EDIT: I tried the game today. Had to quit in Stage 5 as things were getting dull but i found myself a new grudge. The relentless waves of enemies are very good at pushing me into corners and if i try to find a gap to go through i risk losing one of the three lives i am granted because bombing have to be done quite a while in advance.
-
Is EoSD the easiest hard mode, is yes I rage if no I can't understand why I can't 1cc all the others
-
Holy crap. I just 1cc'd SA on hard... somehow. And less than a week ago I thought this was a very long way off, since I find the later games SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult than the earlier ones. Went into stage 5 with 5 lives. Came out with 1. Somehow I managed to stretch this (plus 1 extend) long enough to beat Utsuho. I'm beginning to think that Orin may be more difficult, overall, than Utsuho herself.
Interestingly, despite this accomplishment, I still cannot reach Koishi consistently >.>
Gah, so tense there at the end. Need to breathe...

Perfect Youmu Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzQ6E6s_mKM)
It might be very different from Touhou streaming but it is still streaming. I would just for now focus on Stage 1 and 2 of DDP.
Congrats on the Youmu battle.
As for the DDP topic... what you have to remember with a DDP run is that it's not like a Touhou run where you select the difficulty. If you want a comparison, Stage 1 would be comparable with a Touhou stage 1 on Normal, and I doubt you can honestly tell me that you find PCB Normal Stage 1 a thrill-ride. :P Stage 2 and 3, similarly, are more like Hard mode, with 3 creeping into Lunatic and the rest of the game staying there (and possibly a little bit higher on Stage 6).
As for the stage:boss ratio thing, that's kind of understandable, but it seems like more of a mindset thing to me than an actual increase in quality at the boss sections. I originally had a similar mindset when I'd just started out with DDP and the Touhou series having been my only shmups (i.e. going through the stage while constantly looking forward to the boss where the real challenge usually is). Having played it a lot, though, I find some of the stage sections are actually more fun than their respective bosses. Stage 4 (and possibly Stage 6), for example.
Aside from that, I agree with Azinth on pretty much every point he makes. I don't think you'd be able to find a Touhou stage section that's even close to as interesting as DDP Stage 6. Seriously, give that stage a few attempts and tell me it's just simple pink aimed bullets.
Having said all that... I think we should drop this discussion now before this thread derails any further. :V
-
So...
I 1cc'd SA Lunatic with all shot types.
Now trying UFO Hard... but it seems harder than SA Lunatic...
Why?
Anyways~
All my accomplishments till now:
1cc Lunatic and Extra Clears, with all shot types (all teams in IN): SoEW, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF and SA.
(uh... there's sometime since the last time I came here...)
-
Depends on your skillset.
I still haven't 1cc'd Mystic Square, EoSD, or PCB on Hard, yet I've 1cc'd SA Lunatic. Now I can 1cc them on Hard, I just haven't managed them yet. I find UFO Hard harder than most Lunatics and therefore haven't 1cc'd it either.
PCB is definitely one of the easy Hard modes if you can properly time boards and probably one of the harder ones if you can't.
MoF and SA are pretty easily memorized and give you a lot of resources. LLS is just a joke in difficulty anyway on anything lower than Lunatic or Extra.
-
Did I do good for my first time seeing UFO Hard ? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7278) (UFO Hard Sign "Bomb Everything and that Red UFO wait what that's wrong")
Also, I find Murasa pre-to-last spell easier that normal, the gaps are more easy the see.
Captured Murasa last spell first try :V
In UFO, if I don't die like an epic fail, I die like an ass on the boss (died 5 times on Murasa NORMAL once)
Or UFO hard get heretic just at shou ?
-
In fact Orin is
probably the hardest boss in SA :V
'Grats on that Hard 1cc. I haven't had the guts to try it ... yet ._.
color of bullet patterns, the backgrounds, the awesome explosions, that giant laser
If that's not art, I don't know what is. :V
The bullet patterns. Color doesn't matter (why would it anyway ?)
Besides Good Omen and BoWaP are both pink :V
Human vs. Youkai?
PoFV. Losing to a CPU in Match Mode is less rageworthy IMO.
What's so great about MoF Stages?
Streaming No lasers, no borders, no familiars / human-youkai meter, no scope, no graze to collect items (I guess this means less bullet density), and no UFOs. It's like another EoSD, only much better thanks to the new engine :V
-
What he said.
Yes, let's conclude this. There really isn't more to be said anyway. And no. I can probably not find a Touhou stage with the same level of intensity as S6 in DDP. Simply put you can say that DDP just doesn't have the same addicting effect on me that Touhou has. Yeah, that's probably it. Nothing wrong with DDP, i understand that now. It was nice to get this talked over though. :)
Besides Good Omen and BoWaP are both pink :V
Yes they certainly are. :) But Mercury Poison is blue and yellow and VoWG has 5 different colors iirc.
I wanna die by beautiful stuff. Its probably because i'm weird.

That certainly is understandable.
-
About DDP, it's certainly a matter of taste...because almost every single post here defending it made me think "...and that's good?" :V
-

It's a struggle to find another Cave stage at the same level as DDP S6 too, so it's a pretty disingenuous argument. :V
Suffice to say that DP/MHS (not Cave in general, look at Guwange or the ESP series) have weak bosses, though they're getting better with Futari and DaiFukkatsu. And that Touhou stage sections are definitely the series' weak point, though they've gradually improved with almost every game.
I don't understand how anyone can play with Cave's rotating, pulsating neon blobs and complain about animated bullets though.
-

Dangun Feveron. Play it.

1CC of SA normal with aya ^_^
-
Sakuya/Remilia, IN Extra stage portion, 0 graze. Finally!
Finished 0/3 and went after Mokou just for fun, but lost on the noncard after Honest Man's Death.
Hmm, I wonder if anything else is possible no-graze... *peeks at EoSD Extra*
-
Did a bit of theory on all of Byakuren after a few test runs. Found out some pretty interesting information that I could use, particularly on "Devil's Recitation". These days, 2 mistake runs come every now and then; 3-4 mistake runs are the norm. Anything higher would come from losing focus.
Capturing Byakuren's First Spell Card twice in a row should count for something with ReimuB and all "difficult" waves (none of the slow bullets overlapped). At the rate I'm going, I reckon that I could probably get to a 40% capture rate if I can keep calm and focused with ReimuA. Maybe 20-30% with ReimuB. Eh, all estimation though.
2-3 more days of this "project" and then we'll see what the "true" results are.

Tried SA Hard and 1cc'd it on my first try :V
Stage 1 to Stage 4 made me think "this is SA ?". Then Orin proved I was wrong.

Murasa Hard 2DNB
The two death are the cheapest death ever...The last non spell; and the last second of the survival...but Murasa looks harder in normal0 than in hard, because of anchor lag on that fufu card.

Timed out "The Legend of Gensokyo".

EoSD Hard No Vertical Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7290)

No Focus Suwa War capture (ReimuA)
Almost MoF Extra No Focus Clear (ReimuA)
Is that card supposed to be hard or something? Also, I dunno how I failed at Wacko's last card so badly though. Last death was hilarious though.
-
...I'm almost 100% sure that this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7298) is a no-focus clear of PoFV Lunatic with Cirno. Holy crap.
I say almost 100% because of the slight possibility that I might have pressed shift while facing Shikieiki, but whatever. Speaking of, I killed her on Round 2, which is amazing. I don't think I've seen the word Bonus! more in my entire life lmao.
Oh god I need to breathe. Holy crap. Hooooooooooooooooooly crap how did I do this.

How? Simple. Cirno "breaks" the game :V
That's why the polls don't accept Cirno 1cc's
. lucky the replay saved
14/2 essentially over. I think I'm back to where I was (back in November). Might as well start doing full runs again. Spell Card history for Byakuren's First with ReimuA? 8/14.
I also found out what I was doing wrong in "Gray Test Tray Shure". Cap rate is now ~25%. Perfect Stage 5 should be just about "baked" ready.
While also grinding UFO Stage 6, I also went around and did other things throughout the fortnight. I have now officially timed out every Spell Card in UFO, save for the last one. Many of these I have also done No Focus timeouts. A full list can be compiled, but :effort: and :timeconstraint:
I'm also going to suggest everybody to go and look at the survey results if you already haven't. Get a feel for which games seem to be the easiest among the population and stuff. You know which thread.

Well crap.

You know Baity it'd be really nice if you gave explanations for your reasonings for once :V
-
How? Simple. Cirno "breaks" the game :V
A well-played Reimu is more "broken" than Cirno, to be honest, even if whomever did the poll didn't think so. I got a Reimu NV lunatic 1cc on the first try, and NFNV wouldn't be much harder. But I can't be arsed to do it knowing that I'd need something between 5 and 10 successful runs to save 1 replay.
But yeah, the 132 million were mostly the result of Cirno breaking the AI way before it was supposed to yield, to win the game with three spare lives for massive score.
Edit: oddly enough, I had never seen Cirno really work so well for me as far as offensive power was concerned, and was doubting she could even break the game at all - everytime I beat Shiki with Cirno I needed about three minutes which is the norm. Either way, I still think she's not more broken than Reimu or Shiki.

SA perfect Satori fight with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7302)
The only fun Satori fight if you ask me.
ReimuB is probably going to be my main for perfecting this stage, as stage 4 is the only stage in the entire game I haven't perfected yet.
I mean, it can't be worse than stage 5 can it?
-
I reached Byakuren on Hard. YESSSSSSSSSSS

I envy your performance on deep mist labyrinth.
I can only occasionally do that card on normal, but you acted it like no one's business.

I have no idea how to do DML tbh
same for 90% of all Satori spellcards
-
I envy your performance on deep mist labyrinth.

I actually handled "DML" the wrong way. :V
There's a much better way to handle it. I'll see if I can get a replay up after dinner.
EDIT:
Timeout of "Deep Mist Labyrinth" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7306)
Short story: You want Satori to be as much off-screen as possible so that the least amount of bullets gets spawned.
The rest of the run was HURPA DURPA DURP.
-
I will never do that well in an actual run. Never.
Random run of Lunatic Remilia. First death on Scarlet Meister. Yes, I capped her last noncard, I've never done that before. And I was a millimeter of life away from 1-bombing Scarlet Gensokyo.
If I played like this all the time...
-
EoSD time.
- ND1B Stage 2 Lunatic. If I can get past that freaking opener ...
- Captured Meirin's last spell. Twice. She has to be the most fun Stage 3 boss EVER.
- Captured Za Warudo.
- 2DNB Scarlet Gensokyo.
-
HOLY CRAP I CAN DO UFO STAGE 5 WITHOUT DEATHS until I reach Shou BUT THAT'S PROGRESS!

Holy fuckin shit. I just lost no lives to the prism rivers. I wasn't exactly pressing bomb to death either. (though I did bomb noisy phantom dining, even though I know I can do it I got myself trapped in a corner :()
Sounds minor but im mid game here bear with me xD
Balls, I had 6 lives as well. fuck you, youmu! So thought I was gonna 1cc this time lol.

Syou's 2nd non-spell timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7313).
Also, a total of 8 1DNB Stage 5's and still rising. I should probably stop messing around with scoring routes as I do this.
-
Syou's 2nd non-spell timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7313)
So it isn't total luckshit then?
On a related note, UFO stage 6 unlocked for stage practice after the world's greatest example of why it is better to be lucky than good on LFO. Go in 0/1, deathbomb on the first colour of waves, then dodge everything else with a heart rate of 180bpm.
-
So it isn't total luckshit then?
Not really.
Granted, she may shoot slightly deviating shots and whatnot, but that's all up to you to dodge; her position governs the rest of it.
I also have about 10-15 1D/B timeouts if that really counts for anything. Oh and about 400 "attempts" at Syou all up.
-
about 400 "attempts" at Syou
wat
that's probably what I have for the entire series combined, if not more, if not a lot more
-
I don't even have that many attempts on Kanako, which has by far the highest spell records out of any boss in the series (I believe my VoWG attempts are in the 280s or 290s), and the only ones I can think of that come close are Satori-Yukari (115 for BoWaP) and Utsuho (115 Nuclear Reaction, 74 Subterranean Sun, although let's face it, that boss fight dwindles in difficulty, so Nuclear Reaction is the indicator of the most important part). Ex Sanae has 100+ runs because I was a newb and restarted SA Extra a lot when I was going for the clear, and some IN Spell Practices break 200 because I was trying to capture Lunatics and Last Words when I was a Normal/Hard player, but few other cases even breach the 50s in attempts.
-
I forget what my attempts for Remi are, but they're well beyond 300 by now. :x Nobody else breaches 150 though.
-
Syou's 2nd non-spell timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7313).
Heh, I did that (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7315) just now as well. For me, the trick is to go quiet a bit to the left from Shou. Almost had a Vajra timeout in the same run, but died in the last few seconds from a bullet I didn't even see.
All this at 1am, while I'm feeling seriously sleepy. :V
Am somewhere in the forties in terms of attempts at Shou. I think my highest is VoWG, with 121 tries.
EDIT:
Wait, Catwalk has 127 attempts, with Orin's first having 72 surprisingly.
-
I should probably point out that I did that timeout in one of the worst conditions ever. This was in fact, leaving my window blinds open and having the Summer!Sun glare into my eyes. Well, more like reflect off the white pebbles and into my eyes.
/rant
While talking about attempts... there's (only) ~200 on Byakuren, with about 100 done in the last 2 weeks. Kanako at 150, and SA-Extra at who knows what thanks to me deciding to try NV blindly. Hard!Minoriko is at 1xx thanks to scorerunning determination. Everything else is at 120 and <
400 for PCB!Alice if you count me learning to graze the spiral at the start.
And just then, another Perfect Syou. :joy:
/me tosses it into a pile of 10 other duplicates
Quicky EDIT: 9th UFO Lunatic 1cc. Pray that my 10th has something spectacular in it.
-
SA Easy ReimuC 1cc, I guess
at 90fps
-
Unintentional Vajra timout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7317) on lunatic. Kinda neat I guess. Got saved due to ~lol Reimu hitbox~ on Aura of Justice. Everything else was
shit experimental.
-
All games now 1cc'ed on normal save for HRtP and SA. Also, cleared the extra stage in MS just recently.
Am I not suck at these yet?
-
I just beat Utsuho on lunatic. Not so impressive in the scheme of things, perhaps, but I only just 1cc'd hard 4 days ago. I can feel that it's is basically at (or a bit above) my threshold of skill at this point. 20-something attempts in a row with that level of concentration is... very draining. I didn't capture any of her cards other than Ten Evil Stars, but came within an inch of Peta Flare and Subterranean Star. Now (once I recover), to run it on practice a bunch, and learn to capture things without the pressure of actually getting past the whole thing on 2 lives (and thus bombing more, etc.)
Oddly, Blazing Wheel is still significantly more likely to kill me on any given run than just about any single attack Utsuho can throw at me, which just seems wrong somehow. >.>
-
I don't even have that many attempts on Kanako, which has by far the highest spell records out of any boss in the series (I believe my VoWG attempts are in the 280s or 290s)
I have over 500 attempts on Yukari's Last Word :V
-
Beat flandre with reimu B. She's kind of fun once you get used to her. Counterclock, maze of love, and "and then will there be none?" always seem to at least consume a life or multiple bombs, while I usually cap cranberry trap, levaiten, four of a kind, and starbow break.
Got to ripples of 495 years for my second time, so glad I had an extra life because I died just as flandre exploded(just like my run before that one, except I hadnt had the life and I RAGED.)
-
Pacifist Nue (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7320)
This wasn't hard at all. Took two attempts, of which the first one was months ago.
That second death at Rainbow UFO... ugh.
Well, lets see, who's left?

- Suwako
- Mokou

Zero Capture MoF Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7323)
Intentionally bombed or died to every single spell card in the game. Some cards I even bombed twice.
EDIT: Zero Capture IN Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7324)
Died with bombs in stock like 80 times.

Finally beat Kanako Easy with FUCKING REIMUC. On to Marisa.
-
ReimuA breaks things too easily; going to swap (back) to ReimuB I think (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=387&u=12803292). The score is lovely though, especially considering that I didn't Bomb or die to increase the score further. The "shot indicator" made too many Spell Cards trivial for me. Case in point:
(http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/th/untitl39.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=388&u=12803292)
That's the "revised" history you're seeing; throw another 120 from the other score.dat and you'll see the number of attempts that I've had so far with ReimuA alone
. That said, I reckon that I've improved considerably over the last half year. The scribbling out is to indicate the timeout successes.
EDIT: Hm.

Cue Donut. I can't tell if that's Reimu in your pic, but didn't Donut try tackling the card like that before?
-
I'm pretty sure it's MarisA, judging by the blue gem-like familiar in front of her. Donut did tackle the card like that, but with a Reimu shottype.
-
It's a Marisa~
Because I'm probably the only person who uses all the Shot Types

Eh? What'd I tackle? ??? <- Can't see images at school

"Aura of Justice" through the walls.

Ah, good times, good times...
I have barely played Touhou at all lately thanks to Touhou Labyrinth. :x Thankfully I'm almost done (and NOT doing the plus disk), so I should hopefully be back soon.

- SFN after 14 tries, by sticking around the bottom and moving as little as possible. Dunno how long I can survive with this though.
- Phoenix Rebirth after, uhh ... 30 tries. The first two waves are relatively easy (if not extremely easy). Then BAM, the third one is completely messed up.
I hate phoenixes.

Man, I made it up to Utsuho on one credit. I didn't lose any lives until Rin gobbled up all but one of them :c
So close. Next time, though.

130,000,000 points in UFO S6 :<

For PR, get on one side of the screen and just move towards the other during the third waves. Don't worry about the phoenixes, just the little shard-bullets.

Pefect Cherry Blossom EASY 1cc w/ SakuyaA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7359). 2nd PCB 1cc, 3rd overall.
I actually suggest watching at least stage 6 for some TAS-level bullshit dodging. ;)

Captured Peerless Wind God
-
Played LLS lunatic. Only notable thing was that I CAPTURED THE STAGE 4 MIDBOSS AT MAX RANK FUCK YEAH.
-
Posting in the middle of a PoDD Lunatic run.
Round 1 Kotohime was 3 seconds away from killing me when she died.
Round 2 Reimu was pretty simple.
Round 3 Kana lasted about 30 seconds, tops. Shortest. Round. Ever.
Round 4 Marisa knocked me down to half a heart pretty fast, but went down eventually.
Round 5 Ellen started with a summon in about 4 seconds, which by itself knocked me down to half a heart. I then beat her by SHENANIGANS.
Round 6...Mima. Here goes. EDIT: Killed me twice, just barely pulled off the third round. Mima SERIOUSLY needs to stop launching four successive Level 4 + Level 3 combos.
Round 7: Rikako killed me twice, again with a bomb. Goddamnit.
Round 8: Wow. Chiyuri was insane for a while, then I knocked her down to half a heart, got my gauge full again...and then she pincered me between two lasers and dropped a single popcorn bullet at full speed right into my hitbox.
GODDAMNIT PODD
GODDAMNIT

I just 1cc'd PoFV Normal!
Though, now I know that I can't 1cc PoFV Normal. Even using Mystia, the only character I can play properly, I only made it on my last life, and then only because my computer was running at 20fps during Shikieki's spellcards. sigh.

MoF Extra Clear with ReimuC
-
Still recuperating from not playing Touhou in two weeks. Captured Hell's Tokamak by staying near the center, which I've never even tried before, what the hell. Also consistently did no worse than 1 death on Nuclear Excursion over several tries (never captured it, but never did plain horribly on it either), and had my absolute closest pass of a sun during NE as well - couldn't see my (unfocused) sprite at all, perhaps worthy of the "Too Close to the Sun" achievement?
Did SA Stage 4 Hard afterward, and captured DBDB on my first (and only) try. Did I seriously just get better at that card? Maybe sitting on my strategy for two weeks inadvertently burned it into my brain or something, because I read the bullets like it was nothing. And no, I don't think I got overly lucky that time. All I need to do is relearn BoWaP and a perfect run might be in the works.
-
I really thought i would do incredibly well on this as i am a lunatic and all that but i still managed to get myself killed at a lot of very embarassing places. Despite my mistakes i still did it in one attempt.
MoF Hard No-Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7365)

Virtue of Wind God Lunatic 1/132
Hell yes, finally captured it.
-
Wait ... does that make me the one with lowest History record on VoWG ? :<
Consistency GET for ZA WARUDO and Fujiyama Volcano. It's unlikely I'll ever fail those again.
And captured Hell Needle Mountain for the first time.
-
HAHAHAHHAHAAAHHAHAHAH
The PoFV lunatic no-vert 1cc I got with Reimu about one month ago, only to have the replay fail to save? IT DIDN'T FAIL TO SAVE, the game crashed to desktop upon saving but IT HAD SAVED IT HADSAVEDIT SAVEDSAVEBGEHF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7371) AND IT WAS SITTING THERE SINCE JANUARY 26
:* :* :*

IN Extra Clear
-
Captured Mercury Poison.
-
Which version of Mercury Poison? EoSD or SA?
Haven't had the chance to go against either on Lunatic.
Also, I wish my hitbox detection skills on the older games were as good as they are in MoF and SA. So many WTF deaths on PCB and EoSD. I still need to go 1cc EoSD and PCB Hard since I've made it to the final attack on both. I can't get far on either on Lunatic yet I can on MoF and SA.
-
EoSD MP is rather easy even on Lunatic
SA on Normal is much harder
-
Wait ... does that make me the one with lowest History record on VoWG ? :<
What is yours then?

Playing Yukari's SWR storymode on easy. Not only did I break Marisa's "Surefire Master Spark" so that the rings kept hovering there even after she KO'd, this is what my score for that stage was!

Marisa must've hated you for that :V

EoSD MP is rather easy even on Lunatic
EoSD. And the spell would be easy if it weren't for EoSD's lolhitboxes >:<
SA on Normal is much harder
Glad I haven't touched anything other than ReimuA :V
What is yours then?
Around 45-50. Could be less, though. I don't think it took nearly half the time needed to capture LFO (80 tries).
-
Around 45-50. Could be less, though.
VoWG: 1/31.
About half a dozen in full runs where I didn't even try. And I'm pretty sure some of the better players needed substantially less than that for a first capture - Jaimers needed about 30 attempts to timeout SFN after all.
Really, it's all a matter of how early in your skill development you decide to go for it. When I started trying, I had already 1cc'ed half the series on lunatic, therefore I think 31 attempts was waaaay too much.

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/th_th001.jpg?t=1266696447) (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/th001.jpg?t=1266696447)
1/21 if you don't feel like clicking the pic. The really shitty high score ending in a 9 (imagine that was enclosed in a circle if it really matters to you) tells me I hadn't 1cced yet, and I believe it was actually the previous night that I had continuespammed my way through MoF Lunatic and unlocked Stage 6 for practice in the first place. Also looking through my photobucket, the images directly preceding it were from my PCB Hard 1cc, so those should give you an idea of where I was when I capped it. I also believe I'd been playing Touhou for about a month (though, that's a month with three weeks of it on school winter break with no job, so yeah, a lot of Touhou happened in that time).
Totally a fluke though. I rewatched the replay a few days ago (keep in mind that I have an NDNB timeout now, so suffice it to say I can read it), and saw far too many points where I really should have died. My second capture of it was somewhere in the realm of 2/80.
I also remember donut questioning my legitimacy at this point, which thoroughly entertained me.
Ah, memories...
-
Virtue of Wind God (Hard) captured on my first try of the day. I feel like I'm back to my old self now. Just gotta pray that my computer doesn't get fluke-infected again...
I only wish I had as much free time as Krim. I don't have a job, but I did start Touhou smack in the middle of a school semester, plus at the time I also played Smash competitively. It may not even be until a month from now that I have enough free time to continue-spam my way through some Lunatic (preferably MoF or SA), but you never know. Either way he has me beat in terms of skill growth speed.
-
My initial capture was at 1/25 i think. Now i have 41/181 on it. I often find myself trying to time it out but i often get hit a lot. :D
I think my biggest issue is actually input mistakes rather than reading mistakes though.
-
VoWG 6/121
I have NO idea how many attempts it took to capture it the first time, I wish I had kept track of these things. :|
But this all is normal captures, no focus capture attempts and timeout attempts.
I just now realise that I haven't captured this card much at all. :/
And to be fair: "SFN" took me about 80 attempts. :V
Although this is still wtf little for the amount it should take.
-
What is SFN?
-
What is SFN?
Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana.
It was the second Last Word I captured, I didn't find it all that insane although I probably passed through luck since it was under 20 attempts (although I used Malice Cannon to beat it in two waves instead of 3 that other shot types take)
However, timing that thing out is batshit. It gets harder as time goes on D:

Nice :V
So now we have both 1cc'd 2 Lunatics and both different ones :V
-
IN is going to be the next one. Or one of the PC98 ones once I know how to record it.
I have no chance at EoSD or PCB at the moment or for a while and UFO is BS even on Hard for me, though maybe I should practice some on that. Either that or I'll finish Hard 1ccs for EoSD and PCB first.
-
Captured Orin's third nonspell.
Captured Catwalk two runs in a row...? ???
-
EoSD suddenly decided it wanted to work on my PC again. Full 60 FPS. I'm very happy about that... but as my keyboard is rather fail right now i don't want to attempt 1cc'ing before i get myself new hardware... which will probably not happen anytime soon. I just don't want to get to Scarlet Gensokyo and then have the keyboard decide "Thou art gonna go left!" and then just seize Reimu and keep moving left until i hit the key again. >:(
Speaking of EoSD, i managed to have a near-perfect Reimu B Patchy battle on Lunatic only dying to Buried in Lake - damn that card is BS. It just does whatever it wants. I haven't captured Emerald Megalith before either so that was cool.
I beat it in 14 with Border Team
lol
My original capture took over 100 tries... ::)
Half a year ago i captured it in 7 tries and recently in around 20 tries...
But doesn't it revolve a lot around luck? I mean, yeah you can probably dodge whatever it throws at you if you are good enough but isn't there sometimes when the waves are much more managable than other times? That seems to be my experience with it anyway. And i think i have tried timing it out once but never gotten it beyond 50 seconds. If memory serves that is.
-
Fuck yes, PCB extra no-vert (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7399). Phantasm shouldn't be much harder, provided I find a somewhat reliable way to deal with Ran's second midboss card.
-

The RNG on the card makes the difficulty of the waves vary from standing still to HOLY SHIIIIT.
You still have to read where to stand still though. How do you think some people caught the card by standing still?
And you people are overselling "Bury in Lake". Sure, it can throw a hard wave at you, but most of the time it's just a slight tap to the left.
-
I was wondering if that was possible. Goes to watch replay.
Doesn't that make the only extras to never be done No Vert LLS, MS, EoSD, IN, and SA?
And I could just be remembering those wrong.

I'm a real noob at abbreviations, i know, but what's RNG stand for? :blush:
Also, you might be right about Bury in Lake - i think the main problem is that we are all used to bubble hitboxes in the later Touhou games to be able to read it properly. Maybe.
-
Random number generator.
It's the randomiser of the bullets basically.
I was wondering if that was possible. Goes to watch replay.
Doesn't that make the only extras to never be done No Vert LLS, MS, EoSD, IN, and SA?
And I could just be remembering those wrong.
SP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOnsVi4ToLE) did a no vertical run of IN for as much as it was possible and I think Baity said that SA was impossible without obscene amount of RNG luck.
The others I don't know. They might be interesting to look into though.
-
I was wondering if that was possible.
Well, if Phantasm (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/touhou/images/8/83/Th7_udNo-Vert_Phantasm_-_GIL.rpy) is possible, then I'm certain Extra is as well.
Doesn't that make the only extras to never be done No Vert LLS, MS, EoSD, IN, and SA?

Well, as far as my sources go, they're the only ones not recorded at this point.
Also, you might be right about Bury in Lake - i think the main problem is that we are all used to bubble hitboxes in the later Touhou games to be able to read it properly. Maybe.
Not exactly the main problem, but a problem nonetheless. I've had everything from solid bubble walls (solid in terms of EoSD; bubbles) to timeouts.
-
I'm not sure about EoSD being impossible to do NV. I did a random run once, perfected the stage portion aside from one bomb on Royal Flare, and Flandre isn't that much different on the whole NV. There are some obvious exceptions like Maze of Love and Lavatein, though.
The only time I tried, I game overed on Catadioptric, and that was with plenty of derps along the way. But then again, I'm not like Baity in that I have the concentration to sit down and calculate to use bomb #2 on spellcard #6 at 0:24 seconds in at a distance of six pixels from the right wall :V
-
Well, if Phantasm (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/touhou/images/8/83/Th7_udNo-Vert_Phantasm_-_GIL.rpy) is possible, then I'm certain Extra is as well.
Phantasm is about same difficulty, to be honest. Most of it is about the same, extra has four cards which are harder to no-vert (Oni & Oni, Wizard Fox Thoughts, 12 General Gods, and Unillateral Contact), Phantasm gets Danmaku Bounded Field and bomb-immune midboss to make up for it (along with Mesh of Light and Darkness which can force you to bomb more than expected on rare occasions), all in all it's very very reasonable. I got to the last couple of seconds of Border of Humans and Youkai twice before deciding to give Extra a few tries despite Wizard Fox Thoughts being complete random pain, and both of these Phantasm runs had deaths with full bombs, total failures vs. Ran's second card, inexcusable mistakes vs. Spiriting Away, etc.
edit: long story short: GIL's no-vert Phantasm run would be his most overrated achievement if not for the Border of Life and Death timeout which is just ridiculous. But Phantasm no-vert itself is probably easier than UFO hard.
-

Fun fact: I don't plan to this degree. It's more I raise my awareness during a specific Spell Card and have my finger twitching to (death)bomb :V
Cut: PCB gives out lives like candy though, so it's excusable. Not to mention Borders. So there's a lot more leeway there when comparing to certain other Extra's NV.
-
I'm almost certain that No Vert LLS and MS Extras are possible as well. I got up to the pattern before Cheeto Lasers, or maybe it was the Cheeto lasers with several derps on MS. And I got up to Gengetu in LLS once with some derps.
IN's seems impossible though from what I've seen. Maybe with TAS, maybe, but I don't think it's humanly possible.
-
MS Extra No-Vert doesn't seem like it'd be impossible at all. LLS has a lot of places that would force you to bomb, it shouldn't be impossible though... although probably pretty damn hard.
And then IN is 100% impossible due to the last 2 cards (even if you switch to No-Horizontal for them, Hourai Doll is impossible either way), unless you can reach them with enough resources to bomb through the entire thing (Is that even possible, human or not?) and SA would require mass luck, yeah.
EoSD has 3 cards that would pretty much require bombing through (Lavaeteinn(sp?), Maze of Love, And Then Will There Be None?).
-
Cranberry Trap is looking pretty impossible as well...
L?vatein is only impossible at exactly one point though.
-
I was wondering if that was possible. Goes to watch replay.
Doesn't that make the only extras to never be done No Vert LLS, MS, EoSD, IN, and SA?

I doubt UFO has been done. Seems like Undefined Darkness would pretty much kill any attempt at that stage, and then there's still Nightmare. You also get far fewer resources than any other extra because you can't make UFOs.
-

I'm pretty sure Baity already did UFO no-vert. Someone did, at least. I have a replay of it.
-
I was in the middle of trying to do it, but had about 80% (of my attempts) RAEG-quitted at "Undefined Darkness" because trying to take that on efficiently requires some messed up planning.
tl;dr AM did it first and I tried to copy and haven't succeeded yet.

Just whoring myself here again and pointing out that the PCB no-vert videos are up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nlRGaULt2Q&fmt=22).
Also wondering why this wasn't done before, considering how easy it is/was. "Pointless" after GIL's Phantasm run? I know some of you top players don't go for "lesser" achievements, but still.

Congrats with that. I wonder if i was just lucky but i got my initial capture after just 20 attempts and then another one with Scarlet Team after 5. Isn't this one of those cards where some people have spent several hundred attempts on a capture?

IIRC, my first capture was on my 373rd attempt. <_< I've gotten the hang of it since then, but I have no idea why I couldn't get into the rhythm for such a long time.

I didn't even capture it on Hard. I suck at that card :V
then again, I didn't practice it enough because I've always went for Eirin :V

Banana's Fantasy Seal timeout reminded me of something I had sworn to do a long time ago: Rising World no vertical (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXMedu6KUT8). Had given up at roughly 250 attempts a long time ago; the first 150 or so being no focus as well. Got it today in 2 :V
Not bothering with NVNF, though; too much random luckshit involved. I remember being KNIFED SO HARD at the last second at least four times.
-
FINALLY
UFO EXTRA CLEARED. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7426)
This took way too long. Still probably my best Nue run so far; one bomb on her second midspell, but perfected everything up to Undefined Darkness, which completely fell apart as usual :V Also my first time seeing Nightmare of Heiankyou's third phase and Grude Bow.
Grudge Bow is really damn fun.

Well, turns out I was lying: Rising World NVNF with Youmu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1y9wK9C6PI). Had to do it twice, in the first I went "Challenge again? Y" asdfafdafafafsdfg. Failed two more times at the last second after that as well before pulling it off again. Also didn't remember I already had 180+ attempts with Youmu. I guess the NF attempts were here and not with Reimu.
Three NV captures in an hour, two being Youmu NVNF.... not bad, not bad at all. Makes up for the 400+ combined failures before, something I didn't think would ever happen.
-
Holy crap.
Patchy Lunatic, Reimu A. Just a random run but ...
Perfected Koakuma.
Failed the two NDL. That's okay, I'll work on it later.
Captured EVERYTHING ELSE. Agni Shine, Trilithon Shake, Lava Cromlech, Mercury Poison and Forest Blaze.
I should've live captured this, blargh.
-
...I can't believe it... :o I actually beat MoF's Extra stage a second time (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7429).

Fantasy heaven Youmu no focus (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7431)

YT FPS conversion is messing around again; I should really get around to experimenting and fixing it soon.
I know we have a sticky for this, but what's the exact problem? Slowdown (basically half the correct playback rate) but it retains audio sync, dropping frames to make it 30 FPS, or something else?
-
Thing is, the video (file) I have sitting on my PC right now plays back perfectly fine with absolutely no form of frame jerking. Upon uploading to YT (and subsequently checking it there), various parts of the video start jerking for reasons I cannot answer in complete confidence.
...I have a very small nagging feeling coming from the "back of my head" telling me that it's something to do with the "59.82"-60.00 FPS converting to 30 FPS difference (Note that I use the Vsync patch to set it to 60 FPS). Though, I'm more inclined at this point to "blame" it on something else, even if I don't know what it is.
EDIT: Slight fixes / clarification.

...I have a very small nagging feeling coming from the "back of my head" telling me that it's something to do with the "59.82"-60.00 FPS converting to 30 FPS difference (Note that I use the Vsync patch to set it to 60 FPS). Though, I'm more inclined at this point to "blame" it on something else, even if I don't know what it is.
EDIT: Slight fixes / clarification.
Hmmm...I might try rebooting into Linux where my video encoding stuff is at (the Windows partition doesn't have enough space for videos anyway) and try encoding/uploading IN's Extra stage to Youtube and see if I get anything odd with it. The main difference is that the FPS shows between 60-62 on this video so it might not be as obvious as jerking around. I personally didn't notice anything from simply dropping half the frames during playback.
The source video is lossless H.264 @ 60 FPS (640 x 480) so I'm uploading that first and letting Youtube process it to see if there's any easily noticeable difference, then uploading the scaled and bordered version afterwards. Since it's kind of late I'll mess with the rest tomorrow since it's got over an hour to go on the upload :V
Results will be posted in the more appropriate thread.

yay, I beat PoFV extra mode with komachi. shikieiki's mode is just freaking rape though. I'm sure i'll never be able to cut through that.

Ho I just beat it with shiki. Lunasa is buggy for me...but...I didn't saved the replay for obvious reasons
-
Did a timeout of "Killing Doll".
Was at a crap rank I think though, I wish there was a way to keep the rank fixed at max.

From what I remember, Shiki's extra was waaaay easier than Komachi's. If you can beat Komachi's, you can beat Shiki's.
-
I spent months and months and finally last night I defeated everyone (EXCEPT AYA) in PoFV, Lunatic Match Mode.
Note:
Yuka is the weakest.
Cirno may be idiotic, but she knows how to graze.
Never use Yuka against Medicine.
Spam LV2 at Reimu's face.
Youmu is easy to graze, but LV4 at her boss spell.
Shikieiki... I don't know how I did that.
Never, never, NEVER touch Aya, I dunno about Tool Assist Thingie but I doubt if that shit can beat her.
-
Reached Hourai Doll in IN Extra for the first time. Entered 0/0 after failing at Possessed by Phoenix's blue-arrow phase (though I "captured" the others), but I managed to escape getting outright walled on the left (gotta learn how this one works). Then I gameovered a bit after the yellow danmaku appeared. Now I can practice each spell (save Imperishable Shooting) for next time, but holy crap her later nonspells are hard.
-
My first no death clear of an extra stage (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7455)
Suwako may be an easy boss, but it still took many tries to get a no death clear. Almost messed up a few times.
-
IN Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7461)
Finished 2/1, failed Imperishable Shooting. Not my first time seeing it though, so I kinda knew what to expect.
Does anyone know if capturing Imperishable Shooting counts toward the "7 captured spells" requirement to unlock it?
-

No offense, but that sentence made me literally go 'wut.' :V
The 7 spell requirement is for seeing IS in-game. You unlock IS for spell practice just like you do every other spell; uh, by seeing it in-game.
edit: wtf I typed 'IP' instead of 'IS' for Imperishable Shooting. And I don't even go on CPMC very often. D:
-
Yeah. You can't even see it if you don't unlock it. :)

Eh, the Wiki said otherwise, but I didn't bother checking until just now. It's there.
And Zengeku, of course I faced it in a real run first. Whatever, I know it's open now, so time to practice.
-
I survived going in the center of a bullet :
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee32/firestormiv/wha.jpg)
Seriously, how small are those bullets hitboxes!?
-
I've beaten Touhou 12 for the first time with Marisa B(my fav. Option).
-
UFO Extra Clear!!! First Extra Clear without having seen a replay of it beforehand :D
1 bombed Red UFO, captured Blue UFO (killed the first UFO and somehow the spellcard became pathetically easy) and somehow captured Green UFO even though I though the bullets were going to hit me like 5 times.
I had A LOT of trouble on her timeout spellcard. Never saw it before and I couldn't read the crossing bullets worth a damn.
For once I actually used my bombs, though I did die with 2 bombs in stock to Nue's last spell, so I finished 0/0.
-
Imperishable Shooting captured. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7466)
HOLY CRAP that took long enough. Played it for the last two hours straight, accounting for about 140 of 192 total attempts. It's a miracle I haven't grown bored of Immortal Smoke in the process (the main melody is good, but I don't find the song as a whole to be "top tier" or anything).
EDIT: I just perfected SA Stage 6 Hard a second time, with an "on a whim" feel.
Why can't I be this good in the other games?
-
ND2B Meirin Lunatic. Dropped the second bomb at Colorful Chaos Dance just to be safe. It seems that everything is screwed if she moves to the left :/
-
Second UFO lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7469)
I'm honestly surprised I cleared.
Mainly because this run is all sorts of weird as I start off by dying to GOLD DETECTOR, while still doing things like capture Vajra.
Shup up, I never bothered 1cc'ing it again after the first. >_>
-
Another perfect Parsee with slightly higher score than last time.
I still suck at everything past her though :/
-
Second UFO Extra clear with MarisaA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7471).
Started out pretty well on the stage portion, fucked up the end of the stage badly. However, this was followed by a near-perfect Nue battle. No bombs or deaths for the entire thing.
Then came Nightmare of Heiankyou, which had an absolutely beatiful three deaths and one deathbomb over the course of thirty seconds :V
The 1.xx power-capture of Grudge Bow, being my second time ever seeing the card, made up for it though~
-
Astronomical Entombing lunatic no vertical (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFuDWUGhF8). A shameful 138 attempts, though.
-
This is old but still awesome! I perfected Alice a long time ago but i never managed to put some HD-showcase together yet. Hopefully some want to see it and maybe comment a bit on it.
Perfect Alice Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fKBHySJYTw)
What should i do when i'm done with all the S3 bosses?
-
Do the S4s and S5s :V . I recommend Patchy and Sanae.
Go for Okuu as your first S6 as well if you feel like to.
Very nice performance. I always thought Benevolent Orlean Dolls was static :< ... And it seems that you could finish Spring Kyoto Dolls faster than I do. If that thing went on for a couple extra seconds longer you'd have to face blue bullets crossing each other.
PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Aya
. Okay ... that was effortless. Everyone from S1 to S7 literally suicided before the awesome music even kicked in. Komachi and Shiki put up some good fights although their spell cards made me go "WTF".
Did not save the replay though. It contained a lot of fail.
-
Watch my close friend "nearly" 1cc UFO Lunatic (twice now!) while I was eating corn, laughing my head off at stupid mistakes (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7475). Ah, it's great to have visitors over on the last day before going back to uni...
EDIT: After showing her the list of 1cc's, she's now "bragging" about how her score is higher than well... all of yours, really :V
-
It took me the better part of 4 months but I've now finally 1cc'd Helepolis' Afro-Dance-Contest script on Lunatic without using any bombs.
Dance Contest! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6eLRWV1nTw)
I am so very pleased with myself right now. All hail Amakasu Barley Tenji! :D
-
Very nice performance. I always thought Benevolent Orlean Dolls was static :<
Oh god I wish it was. I learned the hard way in my perfect run that BOD basically boils down to luck sometimes ;_;
-
Just managed to make it to Stage 5 Nazrin on Hard without continuing. I still have no chance of 1ccing though due to how much Kogasa, Stage 3, Stage 4, and Stage 5 kick my ass.
If I hadn't died to Stage 4 midboss Nue or die to Murasa's opener, I might have made it to Shou or if I was lucky stage 6.
-
UFO Stage 6 Normal ND1B run with SanaeB. Only bomb was on that goddamned last midspell, but that's an auto-bomb anyway. c:
Also, Extra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovGwGWYzWj8[/url) Stage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3J85blwbA4).
-

You will never see a less skillful defeat of Suika, ever.
-
Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana NFNV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj9Pad_6nB0) - kinda easy, to be honest. It's all vertical bullets after all.
-
This is a normal run:

And I'm still playing to prove a point. I even bombed the easy stuff, meaning that there should be spare bombs.
EDIT: Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7484)

Stage 5 UFO Normal on one credit. I actually got to Murasa with max lives, but I came out of that with only three. Hah. Still, this is the best I've ever done on UFO.
EDIT: Just had another run at it, this time I ran through everything up to Shou with two deaths. I can beat Byakuren rather easily, so if I could just get through this tiger >:|

"Fantasy Seal -Dark-" lunatic no vertical. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsRxWZ_ge0U) Not even danmaku anymore, just pure puzzle solving. Quite proud of this one.
-
So I was playing LLS extra for the first time in ages, reached Mugetu with one death, and she activated the graphical glitch where the lower half of the screen leaves afterimages. This hasn't happened for like a year.
The sickening thing?
I STILL WON.
But Gengetu did it too, and I died on her second phase. :S
-
The glitch happened on EXTRA? And you still won?! God, someone needs to record this happening sometime.
Anyway, IaMP Normal 1cc with Alice, no lives lost until Suika (1 lost). Feels pretty good~!

...I'm not looking forward to this.
*points at Jaimers and giggles meanly*
...I couldn't resist.

Decided to try timing out VoWG on Hard, because I know I'll need the practice just to capture the Lunatic version. Only two tries, since it's getting late where I am, and deaths galore in both (9 deaths 1 bomb on first, 5-6 deaths on second). Why is this here then? Because over the course of two tries, I noticed a very sharp improvement in my ability to read the gaps between the amulets. It still feels a lot like pure twitch dodging at this point- rather, a little bit more twitch dodging than I think I should be doing once I get better at the card - but hey, it's progress, and quite noticeable progress at that. Now if only I can muster the willpower to even try getting to VoWG Lunatic...
-
Today was a good Touhou day for me. I 1cc'd MoF without even thinking about it, and just finally 1cc'd UFO. I've cleared Normal on all the PC games :toot:
-
I finally figured out how to do Nazrin Pendulum Hard without a problem, and captured Bone-Dry Monster Hard!
That was all I accomplished in an hour of UFO Hard :V
-
Woohoo! This was a long time coming (significantly more attempts than I needed to do it for every other game COMBINED), but I have now 1cc'd UFO hard. Yay! I have now 1cc'd all the windows games on hard.
Most of the run is rather unimpressive, but I managed to capture Legendary Flying Saucer for the first time ever, even in practice. Which was rather convenient, considering I arrived at it with exactly 0 lives and 0 bombs....

Thanks mate. Anyway, it shouldn't prove too problematic to perfect Sanae for me. Patchouli is another thing though. It would probably be a lot of perfect runs killed by Emerald Megalith - a card that on it own seems pretty hard for me because i often overlook the small bullets and ram them or get clipped by a bubble due trying to dogde a PCB bubble despite it being an EoSD bubble. - In addition, my computer can't handle recordings of Touhou play so i take my replays to this friend of mine and use his PC for recording. As EosD doesn't save replays i'd have to perfect Patchouli in a run which i don't think is ever gonna happen. I'm afraid i won't be able to pull of Patchy.
Prismrivers are plausible though. Maybe Marisa although that will probably be hell for just one reason. Murasa's the same deal - one non-spell that makes it hellish. Aya have Peerless Wind God so i won't even bother trying.
As for S5 bosses, i have already done Youmu. Sakuya is in EoSD, Reisen... shouldn't be too bad if it weren't for that final spell i have no clue how works. Orin is definitely gonna happen sometime but Shou will probably never happen. We'll just have to wait for the time when someone wanna upload perfect Shou instead of just bragging about it.
S6 bosses, Utsuho is certainly one of the easiest ones but because of suck-level max on Hell's Tokamak i'll probably do Yuyuko. Almost nothing in her battle is very hard at all except for 80% reflowering.
-
I almost perfected Utsuho on a completely random run...
TEN EVIL STARS AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH

Or just use ReimuA and you won't have to face Emerald Megalith at all! \o/

Finished IN Extra with all four teams, at last!!
-
First extra stage clear!
It was Ran, with Sakuya B.
Showing a friend the PCB extra, I just randomly managed to
pull off a full clear of it. I've hardly been playing recently, too.
o_ o
Anyway, now to capture 50 cards to unlock Phantasm >: E
Edit: Oh, question, do the captures need to be outside of practice mode? I'm guessing not, but, just making sure.
