Touhou Accomplishments XVI - Not Faily Wars

[Esper]

Reimu B, good choice. When I first started playing I kept breezing through stages with Reimu A's homing amulets, yet wondering why it was taking so long for bosses to die. Now I'm forward focus 4 lyfe yo.

I still prefer Spreading Shot for stages being worse than the bosses but whatever floats your boat.

Wouldn't it be great to be able toggle between shot types in-game?

That's what SA MarisaB is for, isn't it?

[Tengukami]

That's what SA MarisaB is for, isn't it?

Sure, if you want to split hairs. I meant more, like, pressing (not holding down; pressing) C to switch between the two or three shot types each character has.

As someone who has an easier time with stages than bosses, forward-focus is my default, but yeah. Would be pretty sweet to be able to toggle shot types, though it would probably nerf the games considerably.

Solution: Make games harder to compensate

I think Dodonpachi would be jealous at that point, maybe even DaiOuJou.

DS 9-1 Phase 3 sure is easy

No?

I'm pretty sure I still can't read that pattern properly. Something about slow dense gaps always gets the better of me.

I switched to forward focus for that reason.

Although... I failed to capture any of Aya's, Sanae's or Kanako's spellcards in this run, so the score would have been a bit better if I did... but oh well, a 1cc is still a 1cc, regardless of that.

[Kliff]

New thread?  Time for the near-a-year progress list from me!

Lunatic Clears of Hell and Makai, Highly Responsive to Prayers.
Normal Clear x3 of Story of Eastern Wonderland, unlocking Extra.
Normal Clear of Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, with Mima
Hard Clear of Lotus Land Story, with Reimu
Hard Clear of Mystic Square, with Mima.
Hard and Extra Clear of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
Hard, Extra, and Phantasm Clears of Perfect Cherry Blossom, including capture of Yukari's Arcanum.
Normal Clears of Immaterial and Missing Power
Normal (Kaguya), Hard (Eirin), and Extra Clears of Imperishable Night, including capture of All Last Words.

Normal Clear of Ten Desires with Reimu and Marisa

Which brings me to one final accomplishment before I'm forced to take a break:  Mamizou Futatsuiwa defeated!

This was pretty damn close to how my first victories over Ran and Flandre were, to be honest - right down to the wire, one more miss and it would've been all over.

[I have no name]

I'm better than I thought at these games.

Subterranean Animism lunatic, Stage 4, ReimuA, TERRIFYING HYPNOTISM CAPTURE on my first time knowing what to do, followed by a 3 power BoWaP capture without safespotting.
DBDB and Flying Insect's Nest had 1 death each, but I'll get there.

All (ReimuA) spells captured SA lunatic, go go go

S5 midboss Orin's blue nonspell, Venegful Cannibal Spirit, and Orin's 3rd nonspell captured on lunatic.  What.

Watch as I 4DNB lunatic Stage 6-and one of those deaths is retarded and shouldn't have happened.

PoDD No-Vertical

It's funny. It really is, being pulled toward the ceiling every time you get it.

I also reached 73 million as Chiyuri, putting her back in her rightful place at the top of my scoreboard. It also involved 4 deaths to Yumemi herself, which is another new record for me.

[I have no name]

I joined SRL and raced PoFV lunatic to 50 million with Marisa.
I won in 17:33. (although I could have had 12:xx if Sakuya and Aya cooperated...)

Let's Play Double Spoiler Part 8: Lag Prevention turns into video prevention

[Byaaakuren]

Time to add EoSD to my list of games cleared on Hard

Only SA and UFO left to go on Hard

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

Managed don't even know how many scenes for DS 90FPS yesterday.

6 scenes from Stage 11, giving me a full clear of Stage 11. Which further proves my point about the difficulty of this game being totally fucking sporadic since I had shot counts on a few of these cards that were sub 100 where several of Stage 10's cards are like 400+ and counting.

EX-3 and EX-9, the EX-3 capture was the luckiest nonsense. Reached the last phase for the howevermany time, saw how fast the bullets were coming down and just gave up trying to read them and just rocked the D-pad back and forth in a blind frenzy. I capped. THE DIVINE POWER TO CAUSE MIRACLES

And I cleared 12-8 with Hatate, simply because Hatate trivialises that scene.

I'm presently 97/107 cards now. Only 10 remain!

10-4
10-5
10-7
12-3
12-4
12-7
EX-4
EX-5
EX-7
EX-8

BAM! BOOM! 10-4 GO BYE BYE! 9 remaining! I actually screwed up the last shot and then just began going "ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit" and then somehow managed to survive long enough to take another shot and land it. 

And then goes 10-5 after the method finally clicked with me. 8 remain.

[Jx31]

Guess I'll do the list thing.

Easy,normal and hard mode 1ccs-Lls,Ms,EosD,PCB, IN,MoF, SA, UFO, TD.

Extra-PCB, MoF.

Currently being brutalized BY-UFO Lunatic.  Good thing I really like this game.

[Zengeku]

I played an hour of Double Spoiler today. Made it from Level 1 to level 8 at which point I didn't feel like going on because I had just been Shou'd by the last scene in which I kept flying into the lasers like a bloody imbecile. I dunno, apparently if you lose your concentration and don't focus on the lasers you tend to get hit by them.

But that's not my accomplishment. I managed to improve my score on 6-5 (the best bloody scene in the early game btw.) by around 50,000 points by managing to get up close to Yuugi on all four shots. I think I might actually get better if I had put myself behind Yuugi because apparently that'll yield you a better bonus. My timing is also not good enough. The WR guy get's 160k per shot where I only get 130k. Still happy about it though.

[Seppo Hovi]

Minor accomplishments are minor, but I was bored. This was 100% luck easier than I believed.

Mountain of Faith Hard 1CC~ With an extra life remaining~

Wow, time sure flies... Hard feels so natural, it's like Normal mode now... Oh well, TIME FOR ANOTHER Hard 1CC! Suggestions, anyone? EoSD to TD, not counting PoFV or PCB(because I can't do PoFV, and PCB I already cleared.)

UFO :trollface:

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

10-7 Cleared after 685 bloody shots! All of Stage 10 cleared at 90FPS!

The last shot was the riskiest shit, since I was boxed in my bullets and too shitless to move so I just sat there and charged, and then ran into the enormous laser to take the last shot. It worked.

Only three from Stage 12 and four and Stage EX to go.

UPDATE 1: Yaaaaay! Beat 12-3! Ended up doing it with Hatate because then I only had to live through one cycle of the pattern instead of two. 101/107

[xForeverFanaticx]

UFO :trollface:

...

FUCK. Oh well, worth a try I guess~ :3

[チソウ タイゼン]

UFO Hard will never cease to amaze me.

Near-perfect Stages 1-4 --> Game over on Stage 5 because OH MY LOOK AT THE ITEMS AND UFOS EVERYWHERE WE MUST COLLECT THEM ALL.

I think I managed to cap Dipper Creeping Closer before I did Sinker Ghost :I

[fsvgm777]

Finally. I 1cc'd MoF on Normal with ReimuB.

Now that's a great example of a good use of resources. And by that I mean, making use of MoF's generous bombing system. But even the bomb resources won't help a player against VoWG, which you handled really well there. Good thing you had two lives left at that final second, though, eh? Losing your last life there would have been truly rage inducing.

[redlakitu]

Well, finally. FINALLY. After many days filled with innumerable suicides on Youmu's nonspells (and a short break), Perfect Cherry Blossom Normal 1cc:

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21625

Barely made it. I have no idea why do I have so much trouble with this game. Also, this is my first 1cc done with a non-homing shot type, and I only made the switch yesterday.
Next target - Mountain of Faith, I guess. There's still a long road ahead.

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

Unidentified "Red Cloak, Blue Cloak" 90FPS Clear

A grand total of 1545 shots in total between Aya and Hatate to finally score this clear.

Why the hell did that take me so long. This is not even a hard card in theory.

Yeah, if I lost my last life there, then I would've posted in the rage thread instead. Since I had 2 lives remaining, I pretty much let it slide (especially since I did a good portion of that spell at 0.20 power).

Oh, and thanks.
