I tried four rounds of VoWG pacifism and I could not get better than 2 miss. That's pretty pathetic. I should really learn not to play Touhou this early in the day. I'm not capable of dodging things before I've had time to wake up.

Try dying three times to Scarlet Meister. That's a death to every wave. And it was after a good hour or two of playing. 7_7

Shikieiki · « **Reply #692 on:** November 13, 2012, 08:24:18 PM »

Was doing pretty well on an SA Normal run last night, up until Satori. Lost a life on her second nonspell (>_>) and another on Mt. Togakushi. Then went on to get completely obliterated by Stage 5 and Orin. Lost my last extra life on Blazing Wheel and Game Over'd to Nuclear Fusion. Worst. Run. Ever.

Oh, also Game Over'd to Youmu's first nonspell on a blind PCB Hard run. Yep, yesterday was a pretty failtastic day.

Oh, and just died to Hourai Doll with a half an inch of Mokou's healthbar remaining. I hate playing as Youmu and Yuyuko so much.

Dying to "A Rainy Night's Ghost Story" and "Nazrin Pendulum" several times. "So I need to run right into the bullets right? :V"

Yeah, I did.

I died to Flaw of Forgiving Shrine because for some reason I was expecting Xu Fu's Dimension. /)_-

Yep, that's what I always do!

I also have a super tip for you; Die when you have a lot of bombs in stock; It gives you EXTRA POINTS! I mean, that's what I do aaaaall the time, and look at how successful I am!

And just lost to Byakuren's last spell cause my dad distracted me with something about Legos. Thanks Dad. >_>

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #697 on:** November 15, 2012, 03:35:08 AM »

Woooow. Tonight was a bad night.

Crashed into every possible fairy/bullet in the first stage of TD.
Lost 5 lives on Youmu in PCB.
Didn't move up during Koishi's first card.
Didn't lose a single life the first three stages of MoF then lose 4 on stage 4 and game over on Sanae's last card the stupidest way possible.
Failed at Nazrin and her stage several times.

When I was younger, I double KO'd with Byakuren on Normal with 3 different shot types.

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #699 on:** November 15, 2012, 11:27:33 AM »

I died on the third non with full bombs in stock? Yeah, sounds like me.

Chalros22 · « **Reply #700 on:** November 15, 2012, 12:59:55 PM »

While trying to no bombs SA extra, I died on Danmaku Paranoia. Not once, but two attempts in a row.

:colonveeplusalpha:

Shikieiki · « **Reply #701 on:** November 15, 2012, 11:35:20 PM »

Wow. Was doing great on a PCB Extra run with Marisa B. Got to Ran with four lives, and had captured her first four spellcards.

Princess Tenko, you never fail to royally screw me. Yukari's Spiriting Away is so much easier.

redlakitu · « **Reply #702 on:** November 18, 2012, 08:26:45 PM »

One of my Mystic Square Normal attempts today included the following:

-dying to the Stage 4 midboss, even though midbosses are laughably harmless in this game;
-ramming into an enemy seconds after I received my 200 Point Items extend;
-entering Stage 6 with three extra lives, but entering the fight against Shinki with just one left;
-ending up on Shinki's penultimate phase with two bombs still in stock and losing anyway because I pressed X a split second too late.

Tsym · « **Reply #703 on:** November 19, 2012, 07:17:37 AM »

My last 3 deaths to Dipper Creeping Close was because I perfectly lined myself up with the horizontal row of bullets. I think I forgot that I was supposed to be going between them, not through them :V

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #704 on:** November 19, 2012, 06:49:52 PM »

Right, let's play some SA!

MarisaC attempt.
I made it all the way to stage 5 with 3.3. Should have 5.3 lives, but Parsee and Satori decided to be jerks during their last cards I double OK'd both of them. lives in tow. Didn't even make it to Boss Orin. Got hit before Midboss Orin. Got hit during Midboss Orin (first non-spell), then got hit during the very last set of ghosts before Orin. Today must be "hit everything I know I can dodge" day.

Well that sucked let's try some Koishi.
Dies during Midboss Sanae, decides to keep going. Dies during Koshi's first card, keeps going. Decided I need the practice anyway. Makes it all the way to "Genetics of the Subconscious." For such a terrible early part of that run, I made it pretty far. :V

Chalros22 · « **Reply #705 on:** November 20, 2012, 04:16:45 PM »

Just realized that Ctrl is autofire in Fairy Wars. So far I'd beaten all routes on normal, extra, and A-1 hard. How the fuck did I never figure that out?

Zengeku · « **Reply #706 on:** November 20, 2012, 04:36:08 PM »

I didn't know that either. And having just tried it, I can say that it feels really awkward to use that for auto-fire. The C-button does the same thing. I recommend using that instead.

I let the life piece from Koishi's first non-spell escape. :V

Zengeku · « **Reply #709 on:** November 21, 2012, 02:18:51 PM »

Today, I've managed to fail at every Sanae spell. I've had a decently long break and now I'm back to get owned by the piss-easy bosses again. :V

Funny thing is: Her third spell was consistently her easiest attack for me. It's a joke pattern but it's a pattern but it actually involves some dodging which is why I find it funny that it was the only thing I could reliably capture.

First spell. I have it memorized but then I started to clip lasers. 2nd spell. I know how you're supposed to stream it but I still fucked it up three times in a row. Final spell: Somehow I died more to this than the third one. I can only conclude that the third spell is the easiest of her attacks. :V

'll one up that, the other day I died to flaw of forgiving shrine, ALMOST died to Xu Fu's dimension, and died + 2 bombs to honest man's death. Game over on Fujiyama volcano. If anyone can beat that derp on IN extra be my guest.

I use 2 fingers on my left hand when playing touhou. 1 for shift, 1 for shoot/bomb/trance. or some reason I can't get used to using that many fingers, only time i use 3 fingers on left hand is when I use WASD controls in other games. Also I type with two fingers 99% of the time. Oh wait maybe that's why I suck lol

LadyScarlet · « **Reply #711 on:** November 22, 2012, 12:30:57 AM »

You know how you think you know the secret of a particular spell card or bullet pattern, yet you still can't dodge it? That's how I feel right now.

You know how much I suck at EoSD Stage 6? I've heard The Young Descendant of Tepes (stage theme) more than Septette for the Dead Princess (boss theme). :colonveeplusalpha:

*slams head on keyboard*

Just did HORRIBLY on EoSD Stage 5 after midboss Sakuya, and game over'd to Clock Corpse. WITH THREE BOMBS IN STOCK. I think that's enough EoSD for one day. :colonveeplusalpha:

Zork787 · « **Reply #715 on:** November 22, 2012, 12:21:52 PM »

Well I just had one of the biggest derps EVER....

Died to Normal Mode midboss Rumia's second bullet wave...

Zengeku · « **Reply #716 on:** November 22, 2012, 01:38:06 PM »

Well, let's share some embarassing moments then.

Today I've succeeded at dying twice to UFO Stage 4. And that's not on any of the hard portions but on the streaming section and the bit right after the midboss. Skillz.
Then while fighting Byakuren i died to the final non-spell. Good going there.
What else... Oh yeah. Died twice to Murasa's final non-spell and her final card. Because the final card turned BS on me and didn't give me a chance. Should've saved that replay.

ZUN can you please stop making trivial sections because it seems its the easy stuff that kills me most :V

Shikieiki · « **Reply #717 on:** November 22, 2012, 03:08:49 PM »

What are you the Einstein of Touhou?

Oh wait that happens to me too...

...on a personal note,

How to almost fuck up a no bombs run of SA normal - by Chalros

1. Perfect everything through Satori (lol first perfect stage 4 normal there, fuck DBDB)
2. Die to catwalk because I forgot how it worked on normal since I did this on a whim and this was the first and only attempt.
3. Die twice to popcorn section.
4. Die to orbs near end of stage because I wanted to kill them all.
5. Die on second nonspell
6. Die on spleen eater
7. Die 2 times on ghost wheels
8. Die to Utsuho 2nd nonspell
⑨. Die to Mega Flare

Cleared with 0.8 lives left.

So glad I could put 9 steps here lol

Lepetit89 · « **Reply #719 on:** November 22, 2012, 04:36:26 PM »

I think I'm a little out of shape. Went through EoSD Normal thrice and had much more Misses / Bombs than I expected. First run had two Misses in Stage 2, second one two in Stage 3 (who dodges a bullet, then retreats only to bump into the very same bullet?), third one had a Miss to one of those icicles towards the end of the stage portion. Generally, lots of stupid stuff, characteristics of Spellcards I completely forgot about, though I'm certainly not quite as used to deathbombing as I used to be, but input delay definitely screwed me over twice.

Well, I'll just get warmed up I guess!
