You know how sad it is playing Touhou with a lame keyboard?
I just died to Mariana -10902, a.k.a. MB Stage 6 Boss 3rd spell :colonveeplusalpha:
If the keyboard could stop killing me randomly, I would have gotten MB Normal 1cc by now :ohdear:

I died to Kanako's second nonspell, on Lunatic. :colonveeplusalpha:

I decided to try a Yukari solo run if IN. Picked up the PoC stuff, then ran into Reisen as she's about to cast Invisible Full Moon. :getdown:

I got mega owned on Kanako on Easy. :blush:

Some of Kanako's spells are actually harder on Easy, like Miracle of Otensui and Mountain of Faith.

Orbs spawned on top of me in UFO stage 2. Even though I knew they were spawning there, I was too fixated on the pretty red UFO token.

Crashed into a blue laser after the end of the red lasers during Ultimate Buddhist.

I always forget to save a replay when I do this, but when the conditions are right on Sinking Anchor (low health, clear shot) I seem to like to play chicken with the anchor. 0 for 4 so far. >_>

Got my butt handed to me by MoF Hard Stage 3. Nitori's first boss card got ten times more confusing, I swear.

Looks like I'm not the only one who sucks at MoF on Hard modo.

No despair: MoF Hard might just be the easiest of them all because bombs are batshit insane. You can pretty much flatten everything with them, no sweat.

Zengeku · « **Reply #496 on:** September 01, 2012, 09:26:19 AM »

You shouldn't encourage such abuse. It's far more satisfying to get a clear of the game where you actually capture most of the spellcards. If there's something you absolutely cannot do then bomb it but if you're able to do it with moderate consistency then do your best and only bomb if you are in trouble.

SirChaotick · « **Reply #497 on:** September 01, 2012, 09:58:07 AM »

I'm not encouraging it, you should capture and play as much as possible, but bombing is preferred over dying nonetheless.

Plus, I'm merely stating the fact.

Okay, after running into a bunch of random crap in stage 4 of SA Normal, I think I can safely say that I'm done for today.

I'm so bad that I can't clear Remi's opener even at negative rank.

Mercury Poison is fun, too.

These are at a rank of -32. [The rest of the game is how you'd expect: absurdly slow and easy, even with lingering bullets.]

More notably, the main game* is highly enjoyable at a rank of 64** (twice max rank). Highly recommend checking this out if you like EoSD. Just need Cheat Engine (google) and the table in Drake's thread.

Although a few things become extremely difficult (stage four books, first part of stage five, Sakuya's second non, Killing Doll), they're still a hoot, and most simply become a touch harder and a lot more fun (ex: Flower Dream Vine, Mercury Poison, Sakuya's third non). Very few things don't benefit, although Remi's opener comes to mind as becoming too spacious and relatively easy. Some interesting things happen as well, such as bullets curving upward in Extreme Color Typhoon and fireballs in Agni Shrine immediately swooping down to the bottom of the screen to smack your ass. I haven't tried ultra so I don't know how this compares, but it's a lot of fun regardless.

*The extra stage didn't hold up so well. Most of the stage becomes trivial and a lot of boss attacks are broken: either too easy or hard in a non-functional way. Flandre's nons finally become interesting, though, and Four of a Kind is hilariously difficult (but possibly doable?).

**Can't set it much higher or some bullets won't fire.

Figured out why I'd always die at popcorn fairies every time I got past Momiji!

So I decided to try 1ccing SA with shot types other than ReimuA, starting with ReimuB! Okay so yeah, standard stuff, got to Yuugi with no deaths. Then cue 3 deaths to Yuugi because I was being dumb/I forgot that her bomb doesn't clear the screen/Double KO. But whatever it's all good. Stage 4 is standard stuff, just doing whatever... So yeah I get to Satori, I obviously fail her spell card, I get ready for DBDB, because obvio-

Wait what the hell is this "Pandemonium" card? Oh shi- Satori changes cards based on your character! Oh double shi- I've never played with anyone other than ReimuA! Oh crap she's gathering energy? WAIT! I've seen this before in DS! She's gonn- *picchun* ... Crap.

So yeah I bomb the hell out of Satori's 3 cards, get to stage 5. Oh hey this is familiar stuff. Midboss Orin destroys me, blah blah... Okay now it's time for those easily streamable orbs that shoot walls. Just gotta get to the side and... Oh wait! She can't gap! I gotta- *picchun*

Well great. Basically I have to relearn the game :V

Oouch, the ordeal of playing with ReimuB :V

I reckon she's probably the hardest to 1cc the game with, on lunatic... well, at least for me :derp:

Everything under the sun today. Crashing into stage 1 enemies, sitting still while bullets are aimed at my face, double KOing on the same boss (twice), killing bosses too quickly, letting tons of items fall off the screen, bombing too early, panicbombing. 73 credits, 6 and a half hours of credits, and I've had a total of one decent run, that screwed up on stage 4. In LLS Normal. Normal mode of the easiest game of the series.

LLS Normal is the easiest? IMO it was TD Normal. This is why I need to play the PC-98 games. Gotta finish my Windows Normal 1ccs first.

Subterranean Animism. I went for the safespot in Recollection "Border of Wave and Particle" and died. With bombs. That was a waste of a life that I could have used in the Utsuho fight :V.
I safespot because graze and because I can't be bothered to learn to dodge it. (haven't unlocked it in StB)

Tsym · « **Reply #509 on:** September 08, 2012, 01:20:45 AM »

Funny thing about SA. Somehow everything that didn't give me trouble in my ReimuA 1cc is now giving me trouble in my attempts at ReimuB, and vice versa. Yamame used to be this gigantic wall standing in my way. Now she's pretty much cake, except for when the RNG decides to be really mean. Parsee used to be a joke. The only thing that ever gave me some pause was her second non-spell. Now, her opener feels much harder, her second non-spell feels easier, and Reimu's stupid homing things is making Parsee's second to last card 50x longer and tedious. Stage 3 has now become a nightmare, but that's because of ReimuB's bomb, and not this weird flip-flop effect. For Yuugi, I used to do her non-spells easily, and Mt. Ooe was the hardest thing. Now, I have a ~60% capture rate on Mt. Ooe, and I consistently die to her non-spells. And Satori... Well she's completely different so I can't really make a comparison there.

But really, I don't understand what's going on. UFO may be technically "harder" in terms of danmaku density/speed, but SA seems like a brick wall to me. Why? I dunno :V

I dunno, I'm personally dreading ReimuC, primarily because I just can't get used to that gimmick.
