ESP ra.de, Guwange, Futari, and Ketsui all have my favorite boss tracks. I don't think I'd be able to rank them, though. :V DeathSmiles' is slowly working itself into that list.

I used to like Raging Decide, but then I learned how to milk bosses. Now I'm not quite so fond of it.

tbh:though GUWANGE-SAMA is up there too.

the regular guwange boss theme is also badass

hell, 90% of cave's music is

Any love for Longhena Cantata? :V

Also, made it to Stage 5 in DOJ Death Label mode.

Ooh yeah, I forgot about Longhena Cantata. That one is great too. I liked the Black Label version too from what I've heard of it; waiting to get my hands on its OST.

Just got done playing some ChoRenSha. I almost beat it! Not bad for a first try in over a year that led to getting farther than I ever have before :V

Well, that was a nice DDP run until I died five times on Stage 6. :/

A combination of a lot of things. I entered the stage at 4/0 and flew into one of those small lasers pretty much straight off. Beat most of the stage and died again at 3/1 (I think) and then flew into something I didn't expect to be there at 2/6. Went into the boss fight at 1/6, reached the final phase at 1/2, and then I suddenly had the amazing idea of trying to not laserbomb-spam the final phase. Cue two bombs, then a death, and then a death again at 0/6 because I thought the boss would die before I got hit. :V Pretty much five minutes of hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Longena Cantata is good, but it would've been so much better if they'd hired an actual singer for the part instead of using a shitty vocaloid.

Futari Ultra 10 credit clear.

Not sure if the achievement was for 9 or 10 continues or less, but it didn't matter.

That leaves the 1cc the first stage one and the 1cc the entire game achievement for Ultra. Now that first one will happen eventually, that second one isn't happening even if I change the extend settings.

Still haven't gotten close on a 1.5 1cc for Original or Maniac.

I finally manage do reach the final boss (not TLB) of DOJ, despite how all but 2 deaths were with bombs in stock. Azinth is right though; if I played DOJ like I did DDP, then I really would have hung myself by now.

Seriously, I get annoyed trying to play Gunbird 2 that way, and that game's stages are all like 2 minutes each. :V

Speaking of which, goddammit gunbird 2 i've sunk like fifteen-billion hours of my life into you why am i still not capable of playing you with any kind of consistency BLLLLRRRGGG

Imagine how I feel about Dangun Feveron.

I've sank a fairly stupid amount of time into it and I still haven't so much as 1cc'd it on defaults. >_> Goddamnit, why is this game so irritatingly punishing against any form of mistakes, even relatively minor ones? I mean seriously.

Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Original 1cc w/ Reco

That was intense! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I also 1cc'd Mushihimesama Arrange the other day, that felt very good except i did nothing but saw my bombs being drained by the TLB =P

On a different note... I still haven't 1cc'd any Touhou games on Lunatic >_>

On another note, the J360 finally shipped today! ...Mushi didn't, though. :V I get the feeling I'll be waiting at least another week.

I hate you

what does the DF announcer say before the boss?
sounds like "Heavy is here inside my soul" which I seriously doubt because TF2 wasn't there back then :V

Played Guwange for the 3rd time. Game over on st4...or 5? It's the stage after the huge fortress boss which rolls fire barrels.

How exactly do I need to play to 1cc it? The first 2 stages are rather easy, but then I get screwed over by not being able to activate the shikigami ever again because I'm flooded with crap. Not to mention that the stages aren't straight.

Final score was something like 140 before the first moonrune. Reached the 90 extend.

EDIT: yeah it's stage 5
Not bad for my 3rd play I guess.

More edit: What's the difference between 1CC and 1-ALL?

Azinth · « **Reply #980 on:** February 12, 2010, 04:49:23 PM »

There are no score extends in Guwange. My guess is that it was the '1-up' item you get for killing the stage 4 midboss without bombing. There are a few 1-up/health refills scattered all around the game, like the one in stage 3 that you get for destroying the big statue with the shikigami.

Really, if you just play for survival, Guwange is pretty easy. You have almost as much wiggle room for getting hit as in a lot of Touhou games, and the bombs are really high-damage. But playing like that isn't very fulfilling really. Guwange is a scoring game first and foremost. If you really want to play it, you gotta play for the chain. :V

And for 1cc vs. 1-All, I believe the first refers to non-looping games while the second is to looping games. For instance, if you 1cc DDP's first loop, you got a 1-ALL, while 2 loops would be 2-ALL. Then for non-looping games like Touhou, it's just '1cc.'

edit: HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT 33 COIN CHAIN IN GUNBIRD 2

FUCK YES YOU ARE THE BEST SCORING SYSTEM EVER

edit2: i r gud spellr

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #981 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:05:41 PM »

Put a few credits into Futari Original.

Every single time today

perfect first two stages, die just before or after the stage 3 midboss and game over on the stage 3 boss just because I suck at pressing the bomb button before I get hit.

I'm now getting the 35,000,000 extend on stage 2 when using Normal Reco, it's still stage 3 with Abnormal Palm.

KOA · « **Reply #982 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:49:01 PM »

It's totally fine. It's been established by numerous players that Stage 3 is practically the hardest stage in the game.

Can anyone please tell me how many MS Points Futari Black Label costs?

Bananamatic · « **Reply #984 on:** February 13, 2010, 10:55:28 AM »

Progear

why are the stages 10x harder than the bosses
I've 0D2B'd the st4 boss, but the stages make me cry.

EDIT: Tried Crimzon Clover again.
How does the score system work?

Died 2 times on st1 and 2, managed to no death the 2nd boss then got killed 2 times by the st3 midboss.

It's much better with headphones...still...
1) The midbosses should be shorter
2) Better movement. Hopefully the other fighter will be easier to control.

...I think so. I'm not exactly an expert at DF, but that kind of precision with the 4 speed ship is pretty ridiculous. The streaming attacks and the fact that he uses no bombs don't help... the biggest giveaway are the comments he leaves, though. It's pretty obvious he knows very little about the game he's playing - I fail to see how anyone would get that good without having heard of the existence of the TLB. :V I could be wrong, but still, it looks very fishy.

As for extends... IIRC, only one, which triggers when you hit 2000 discomen total (so usually stage 4 or 5).

Bananamatic · « **Reply #989 on:** February 14, 2010, 12:09:26 AM »

I recall getting one extend on st4 or st5 after the huge round enemies. Probably you have to destroy them all.
