Touhou ParseeRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE Thread Part 4

[lumber_of_the_beast]

I was about to 1cc PCB until I got to the Reflowering spell card.  Had to use TWO continues to win.  ;_;

*gives a hug of sympathy* ;~;

[Sapz]

...Welp, I just opened up UFO to find that my score.dat has been wiped. I suspect the retarded antivirus that my dad decided it would be a good idea to install deleted it; it's tried to get rid of SWR before. <_<; Anyway, anyone mind letting me use theirs? I don't feel like having to 1cc the game with all shot types over again.

Interesting side note: when launching the game, the main menu had... changed somewhat.

[Garlyle]

MURASAAAAAA

So I finally beat Ichirin on Hard decently - went in at six lives, came out with five (Only died at the very end of Calamity Scolding Scorch, and captured Hook Combo through Heaven and Hell finally!  Mostly due to getting to it at 4 power for once @_@).

Reached Murasa at four lives, due to getting tackled by a goddamn fairy on Midboss Nue _AGAIN_ (and proceeding to herpderp right into a bullet almost immediately after), and proceeded to lose em all - two to Sinkable Vortex, one to Ghost Ship's Harbor (MarisaA's blindspot does NOT HELP HERE), and a double derp on Dipper Creeping Close.

Sigh.

[Helix ⑨]

1CC'd IN normal..... with 1 death on stage 4, otherwise perfect ._." Oh but then I met Kaguya... freaking 4 deaths on her >.< grrrrrrr

[Arcengal]

*insert incoherant rant about SA Lunatic and how much I hate Satori here*

[Sapz]

Jesus Christ. Is it just me, or is Gold Detector Lunatic the most ridiculous card ever to be in Stage 1? My history is less than a third captures. Is there some kind of trick I'm missing here? Because it seems very wrong that I should have a worse history on a Stage 1 card than most Stage 6 cards across the series. :V

[lmagus]

UFO has the most ridiculous cards ever to be in every stage :V

Memorize it.

[Krimmydoodle]

Gold Detector got easier for me when I realized that while the bullets themselves aren't static (or if they are, I'm really not paying attention), Nazrin's motion is a static pattern that I can follow to maximize my damage output and minimize the length of the card.  (Move left, right, middle, right, left, middle.  Card should be killed under Reimu B's power at this point, probably sooner with anyone else.)  Other than that, mind the lasers and don't get walled.  It's not -that- bad, but it's definitely not your typical trivial S1 "Night Bird"/"Lingering Cold"/"Firefly Phenomenon" spell card.  Guard Pendulum bothers me more, if only because the card lasts forever due to Nazrin's cheap little shields.

[LHCling]

Not static, but close enough to it. The bullets are pretty small so you should be able to make quick wall jumps without much difficulty. The lasers are definitely static though.

"Guard Pendulum" is frustrating when swapping from a Reimu Shot Type to a Non-MarisaA / SanaeB Shot Type. Just so you know, I have something like a 17/35 with MarisaB.
And I just accidentally focused to grab a Star Fragment by reflex.

Aha, the movement thing works like a charm. Thanks!

Further rage at UFO Lunatic. I hate the need to go chasing down UFOs; I have never experienced SO MANY CLIPDEATHS over such a short space of time. Also, I have for some reason lost the ability to do Kogasa's last non-card. :V

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Farthest I've gotten with default lives on IN Lunatic: Marisa

I try it with the lives maxed to unlock FinalB for practice. Game over on Marisa.

[Seian Verian]

Ellen and Rikako... Are absolutely terrifying @_@

EDIT: Oh god WHAT. I just got all the way through the first six stages without dying (and Ellen was on stage 6 too) then suddenly, I game overed by dying FOUR TIMES to Mima. This was Hard mode by the way...

Ugh I fail at Touhou.  EoSD run on Hard.  8 Misses.  1 Bomb.  The 1 Bomb?  Beginning of Stage 2 to get all the items.

That, uh, sounds like something that would happen to me ._.;

[Garlyle]

Rage is dying during the end explosion to the Kogasa Train

[LHCling]

Smacked by Elly's "secret" mini-phase due to bad timing on my part upon trying to perfect Stage 3. The mini-phase kicked up within 4 seconds of entering the Final Phase.

:|

[nintendonut888]

You haven't perfected stage 3 yet? I am disappoint.

[LHCling]

You haven't perfected stage 3 yet? I am disappoint.

The mini-phase kicked up within 4 seconds of entering the Final Phase.

And you keep backing out of your deal about getting AIM  :V
_{Not that there is any benefit for me if you get it.}

Those stupid caving walls aren't giving me any nice gaps thanks to lol-random boss movement.

Also, you can't perfect Kurumi consistently.

[nintendonut888]

I don't want to try and perfect Kurumi consistently. When there's no stage practice it's not worth risking it in a 1cc attempt. Besides, have YOU perfected Kurumi and Elly consecutively?

And I'm not backing out, I'm just stalling. ;>_>

[LHCling]

Besides, have YOU perfected Kurumi and Elly consecutively?

I've gotten close several times. Case in point:

[c l e a r]

So I finally picked up SWR and UNL, and I found out one thing that piss the fuck out of me.

In SWR, the WORST thing that can happen to you is when you get knocked down, and you get up with no invisibility period.  I insta-FAILED Iku's lightning barrier spell, just cause I slipped once, all 3 lives, just like that, GONE.

Getting raped for 2 lives by Tenshi's final on Easy. Fun.

[nintendonut888]

Protip: Press V to graze (or whatever it's mapped to). SWR is much more lenient than IaMP in this respect anyway. If Suika hits you with Supermassive Conflageration you may as well just restart.

-highjump on wakeup
-block on wakeup and border escape if you're going to get guardcrushed
-Dash on wakeup

Obviously you only want to block if it's a melee attack you're dealing with.

My latest attempt at EoSD Hard:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5989

I'm going to go cry now.

[nintendonut888]

So I think I finally figured out the "secret" to Aya's second non-spell...but still can't beat it. -_- Even knowing this, it's still a horrible attack.

[LHCling]

You mean this?



Or are you onto something else, like a left-right swaying motion around the rings which was done by AM during a NV run?

[theshirn]

[00:00] <theshim|SAHard> well GODDAMNIT
[00:00] <theshim|SAHard> fine until I clipped the orb fairy at the end
[00:00] <theshim|SAHard> then clipped the STREAMING FAIRIES right after that
[00:00] <theshim|SAHard> I have no lives left instead of two
