Amazing how I capped my life stock by the end of stage 4, and yet, I end stage 5 with 4 lives (counting the 1up dropped by Youmu), and i end stage 6 with 1 life (from the 1up in the final spell from 1k point items).

Amazing.

Just had a quick go at PCB Extra. You know it's a bad time to play when you die on Ran's first non-spell and and then her first spell.
I cannot believe I did that. Now I need to go kill myself.

Edit: So I just checked my spell card stats, apparently it didn't count it as a fail. I did rage quit alt-F4 after it, guess I quit before it saved the stats? I'm sure it reached the results screen though.

Yeah, PCB only saves Spellcard records if you complete the entire stage. It's only the games after PCB that keep track of your capture history even if you quit partway through the attack in question.

Massaca · « **Reply #305 on:** June 13, 2012, 02:03:01 PM »

Ah alrighty, thanks. Even though it didn't save, I'll always remember this f*** up v_v

Karisa · « **Reply #306 on:** June 13, 2012, 04:38:14 PM »

PCB only saves spellcard records either when you complete the game, or game over. Completing the stage isn't enough if it's a full-game run (though it is for Extra/Phantasm or stage practice of course).

The same applies to EoSD, though that game's spellcard records aren't that useful anyway considering that it combines all difficulties together.

Wow, this is an amazing run of Ten Desires Normal! I've made it all the way to Miko with only one death along the way, no bombs, no trance except for that death!

How shall I complete this run? Oh, I know! It'd just be great if I do so horrendously at Miko that I don't make it to Guze Flash! And let's die twice to that card with the glowing sun rings, because that just makes everything so wonderful!

It's been awhile since I played any Touhou. But still, TWO deaths to "A Rainy Night's Ghost Story" is pretty sad. So in my infinite wisdom, I decided to go practice Stage 5 and with a full stock of lives at my disposal I lose during Nazrin's spell card.

Spending so much time raging at Yukari's penultimate Spellcard in IaMP, thinking there was no way to dodge the combination of lasers that covers the entire screen, then realizing that you can actually dodge that one with the right timing while watching the replay of my clear. Not sure if I would have been able to get the timing right consistently, but it certainly would have helped.

ARF · « **Reply #315 on:** June 27, 2012, 10:27:20 PM »

I don't think it's possible to do the stage spam before midboss in PCB stage 6 worse than me, I go up and bomb twice, hoping to get a border, fails and dies, border is broken by dialogue and all items are picked up at practically 0 value. After beating reflowering I decide to break the border just because I'll get a new one from the cherry things from all the cancelled bullets, well, too late, I ended at 49600 cherry, no border for me.

xForeverFanaticx · « **Reply #316 on:** June 28, 2012, 12:54:23 AM »

That awkward moment when you try to run up to POC to autocollect power items after a death, only to miss the line, come back down, bomb and go back up in hopes of getting them again, but having them fall below the screen. *sob*

Just died to Yuyuko's first and fourth cards. How does that even happen?

Massaca · « **Reply #319 on:** July 02, 2012, 12:31:19 PM »

Derp fail against Chen on Hard.
Mainly the one at the 13 second mark. I didn't even move *facepalm*

Chuckolator · « **Reply #320 on:** July 03, 2012, 02:01:55 AM »

I died to Heal by Desire.

And once more, this time to the first wave of Ephemerality 137. Must have struck a nerve with stage 3 bosses today.

crystalgreatsword · « **Reply #321 on:** July 04, 2012, 01:41:27 AM »

I just recently flew straight into a bullet during Perfect Freeze. One of the frozen ones, no less.
And to continue with my derpage, I clipped during Diamond Blizzard.

Cirno, oh you.

Lepetit89 · « **Reply #322 on:** July 04, 2012, 09:41:07 AM »

I think it's going to take me some time to get used to Sanae in 12.3, terrible performance I delivered there, simply terrible.

Elysia · « **Reply #323 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:26:26 PM »

Okay, I know persistence is my greatest strength and all...but there is a point at which "I'll try this again later" is a reasonable thing to say. That point is long before 263 timeout attempts in one sitting.

Driving myself into complete physical and mental exhaustion is NOT how Touhou is meant to be played. What are you doing Malky, stop that.

BT · « **Reply #324 on:** July 07, 2012, 02:08:25 PM »

Depends on the timeout I think. Around 300 is pretty normal for me, equal to around 45 minutes ~ an hour.

... Is this in IN/TD or not? :V

Lepetit89 · « **Reply #325 on:** July 07, 2012, 02:49:34 PM »

Duuh, sometimes the best ideas only hit me in the heat of the battle. Did Utsuho's last Spellcard in 12.3 by standing at the edge of the screen, shooting in time to hit the black ones, which did not always go particularly well. As I was torn to shreds, wondering if this Spellcard really was supposed to be that way, certain doom if you mess up even once, that is, I suddenly realized that I can just graze around in the middle which also makes shotgunning it so much easier.

Sanae's shotgunning capabilities are also a major derp though, only realized that you can absolutely destroy pretty much anything that floats by shotgunning it when I was figuring out strategies for Utsuho's penultimate Spellcard. In retrospective, doing certain Spellcards without shotgunning looks kind of funny now.

I have to say, it really did help to get used to Sanae, I'm actually starting to like her controls now.

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #326 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:08:56 PM »

You probably should time out cards you like, Malkyrian. For example, I did SFN since I liked it so much (and still do). The main thing about Touhou is to have fun, after all.

Made it to Futo.

Lepetit89 · « **Reply #328 on:** July 09, 2012, 03:06:12 PM »

Turns out I never actually installed the 12.3 1.10 (or 1.10a for that matter) patch because I didn't realize the setup added /th123 to whichever folder I was going to install it in.
Seems like I missed out on a lot of fixes for balancing issues for the majority of everything I've done. Nonetheless, is it just me or did the patch hurt my framerate? The animations seems much less fluid at times, even though the framerate counter doesn't indicate anything like that.

Edit: Seems like those issues are related to my laptop, seems to work fine everywhere else. Weird.

SirChaotick · « **Reply #329 on:** July 09, 2012, 07:04:59 PM »

In my efforts to do a normal 1cc of SA, I got to the fifth stage for the first time. I crawled on until that damned cat from stage 4 popped up. After some desperate dodging and actually clearing some never seen before nonspells I bomb the spell it uses. Defeat. I zoom forward to claim my loot.

...and crash into the cat, who is STILL ALIVE. Does that thing come back a fourth time? I thought it "wasn't that powerful", according to Satori.
