Touhou is harder :V Derp thread III

[Oh]

I would have cleared a no-focus no-bomb run on EoSD Hard with MarisaA except for:
2 Misses on Eternal Meek
1 Miss on YDL because Marisa speed - crashed into laser
Run ended on non-spell before Meister
Had 4 lives going into stage 6. I should have had it 

[Chalros22]

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

At least you can capture it, I've tried it like 15 times and can't get the rhythm right.

Is there even a true rhythm? Just tap to the appropriate side anytime before the bullets reach you.

[Bang Jan]

I can capture all of Byakuren's Lunatic cards except Magic Butterfly.

Close enough. <_<

[Bang Jan]

Thing is I have captured Superhuman and Devils recitation twice, and everything else exept magic butterfly once.

[Sakurei]

> plays practice stage 6 lunatic in UFO
> has best byakuren fight ever
> dies to LFS 5 times

...well, that went horribly. I still can't caputre anything besides superhumn more or less consistently :v fucking memo shit with magic butterfly and everything else is fucking hard. meh. the 1cc is so far away.

[Chalros22]

Meh, I just always seem to ram the previous wave or wait too long because I'm afraid of running into the previous wave. I guess I might actually just have to practice *shudders*

[K.B.]

Hahaha... this the final answer to all dodging questions.

[Tsym]

I feel more motivated to play Touhou again, so I tried jumping straight back into SA Lunatic. No death stages 1 and 2. Pretty bad Yuugi fight. Bombed a ton of stuff, but whatever. I managed to capture Mt. Ooe at 0 power (that card seems to get more fun the more you play it!), then being the spaz I am, I felt a fly land on my arm and instinctively jerked it, thus dying in a spectacular fashion on the non-card after. Then I managed to die again, then was forced to bomb her final card because I couldn't find a path through.

Even still, the run is going pretty well. Get to boss Orin with 3 extra lives. Died to Orin's first card because it's flipping impossible at anything less than 3-4 power, and I failed to bomb in time. But whatever, I still have 2 lives to get through Orin at 3.20 power. Totally doable right? ... Then I died twice to Orin's second non-spell. You know... The one where you barely have to move. Yeah. Well... Baby steps.

[crystalgreatsword]

Herp derp.
Failed multiple times on easy cards.

Maybe I shouldn't play Touhou while on Skype. Or maybe I shouldn't talk while playing... listening is fine.

[Goldom]

I feel like I've made a poor decision...
[attach=1]

Turned out to actually be safe for a while, and I was wondering if I'd been a sucker to do it normally all along. Then it all caved in and nope.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

It's not a bad idea if you're planning to just bomb the attack since you'll likely get more time shooting before having to bomb. But it is useless for capturing for that reason.

[Zengeku]

Three deaths on Virtue of Wind God (pacifying it). For some reason my stupid head decided it was a good idea to hit the focus key at the wrong moments and failing to move through waves.

[SirChaotick]

I am unsure if I'm underestimating TD even more than I was told I would, or that I'm under working stress from school.

Either way I just died to Ghost Spot. Of all freaking things. GHOST. SPOT. BLECH.

[BT]

Failing a perfect Orin to her first spell.

[Sakurei]

ok, me thinking

> alright, finished the stage. I pefected suwako before, I can do it now, too.
> dies on 1st spellcard
> restart
> but this time
> this on first spellcard again
> ...
> clears first spellcard - rams suwako on 4th spellcard
> fuck this shit

:v yeah, this might take a while. it's not a skill issue, I believe but rather a matter of getting my act together and not clip like an idiot. other places I died qould be a really stupid death on the first non and a lot of failsure due to being horrible at misdirecting fairy bullets :v though, I have a clear path now and unless I decide to ram a fairy or something, it shouldn't happen again. but I call it now: I'll fail a run against mishaguji-sama :v

with all those clipdeaths on 2 claps and 1 bow, I am thinking of glitching it out, but that's...it would destroy the run, even if it ended up being perfect :v

[Zengeku]

Lol, no-miss no-bombs through Stage 5 in SA only to die twice to Orin's third spell. Congratulations. I did the impossible.  :V

[Sakurei]

Well, playing EoSD extra to perfect.

fuck up hard, decide to continue to practice Q.E.D > reach Q.E.D with 0/3 > leaves with 0/3

freaking captured it on a run I failed miserably

next attempt was like this

> perfect everything > reach Q.E.D > die due to a double K.O > run ended horribly

I zigged when I should have zagged. Everyone who has seen sadisticpenguins failed 00 timeout as UBS knows what I mean :v

so bascially, I perfected everything, but died on the last bullet I could have died to. from that onwards, many reached Q.E.D, but all still had a sliver of health left. I think I lost like 6 runs to that spell already :v but I'm close.

and even if that one run ended with 0/3, it shattered the image of Q.E.D for me. it was always like a huge obstacle, but now I can clear it, I just have to pay attention for the last 2 seconds. sadly, I cannot play this weekend because family trips suck. welp

I deathbombed to Honest Man's Death  :colonveeplusalpha:

*perfects SA Stage 4, stage portion, for the first time*

Guess it was a Honest Man's Deathbomb

Cheater, unless you are counting the "0 lives in stock" life.

[Bang Jan]

At least you didn't deathbomb flaw of the forgiving shrine.

[Jq1790]

Cheater, unless you are counting the "0 lives in stock" life.

...should I be insulted here?  =p  Of course I'm counting the "zero-life" in the mix.  Even with no stars, it's still a life, yes?

[I have no name]

...should I be insulted here?  =p  Of course I'm counting the "zero-life" in the mix.  Even with no stars, it's still a life, yes?

I forgot to add a  :V at the end.  I'm just used to saying I have X lives left so when I have 0 left I'm on my last life (because 0 extras).

[Jq1790]

IHNN:  No worries, not actually offended.  Kinda figured it was sarcasm and/or humor.  I'm just used to calling my actual number of lives, not my number of EXTRA lives, since half the time I do better on my last lives in games than on any other one I play.  (Touhou's normally an exception, but occasionally it holds true.)
