Pacifist midbosses and bosses, every stage obviously. I should do Extra.

Oh god, it's grazewhore week.
I'm LOVIN' IT

Zengeku · « **Reply #422 on:** March 14, 2011, 05:17:27 PM »

You hate this week don't you Naut? EoSD and PCB!

I'll probably pick the score challenge this time. I'm not that fond of PCB any longer so...

Maybe if I can actually get that EoSD VSync patch to work I'll submit something. How the hell did I 1cc Lunatic without that? Though MarisA 1cc would be harder than the one I did.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to have the exe file be in Japanese.　東方紅魔郷　which it should already be by default when you install it.

In this thread you might find some information that can help you out.

Read me like a book.

I might submit something for the graze challenge but I've little motivation right now so :/

Zengeku · « **Reply #424 on:** March 14, 2011, 07:46:01 PM »

Know what? You got me curious. Why is it you don't like EoSD Naut? I can understand PCB because that game practically plays itself but EoSD? I wanna hear your reasons, no matter how bad or good they are.

Naut · « **Reply #425 on:** March 14, 2011, 07:48:44 PM »

Ugly as sin, boring as all blazes and the scoring system blows. :opinions:

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #426 on:** March 14, 2011, 07:53:23 PM »

How is point blanking and point blank grazing boring and a scoring system that apparantly blows?

At least EoSD has no gimmicks in scoring.

Fair enough. Just one question however. You running with the retexture patch? It does wonders for the game.

That might very well be the reason.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #428 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:32:41 PM »

Also, for the EoSD Easy mode runners, if you're not clearing 0/0, you're probably doing it wrong. You're not getting a clear bonus, so use those lives and bombs to the fullest extent possible.

Zengeku · « **Reply #429 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:33:22 PM »

You're supposed to be spending lives and bombs in exchange for score on all difficulties regardless clear bonus or not.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #430 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:36:32 PM »

But the clear bonus actually means something.

chirpy13 · « **Reply #431 on:** March 15, 2011, 12:58:05 AM »

Yeah, I noticed that when I finished with 8 lives and got nothing for it =(. I'll do another run later once I mess around with PCB more.

Depends on how much you're able to milk the game by sacrificing lives.

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #433 on:** March 16, 2011, 03:32:49 AM »

I hate milking the games, which is why I'm not a fan of score running at all. I just want to be really good, so I can like, dodge everything and capture spell cards and shit. At this point, with EoSD, I just need more practice pattern-reading, not scoring.

Which is why the only Touhou I'll ever score run is 10.

And on that note, I'd like to propose "capture as many spell cards as possible" challenge for the future.

I do agree that this would be cool, but how would we rank it? There's usually 20-25 cards in one run (and even less in extra), so you'd have a lot of duplicate scores...

Drake · « **Reply #435 on:** March 16, 2011, 03:48:20 AM »

Speedkills. Fastest overall time when a tie is present.

chirpy13 · « **Reply #436 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:22:09 AM »

^That would be a bitch to go over and confirm though... I say score as the tiebreaker, as usual. That or something like end-resources, so we can decide based on who's better at the stages.

Garlyle · « **Reply #437 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:22:59 AM »

In case of a tie, then score is the separator? Maybe?

I don't think anyone wants to go through and add up the individual times of every spell card destroyed.

LHCling · « **Reply #439 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:30:47 AM »

you obviously don't like maths jerks >:(

another alternative is to go by spell card bonus, which while it has its limitations (EoSD rounds, PCB / IN / MoF have varied) is a consideration worth noting
(that, and there won't be silly debates like clear time vs. actual time and whatnot)

end-resources sounds like a nice idea, but going off that defeats the purpose of the challenge in the first place
the only reason why score was taken for fairy wars survival was because it was considered to be proportional to progress

Since nobody can beat GFW no-ice anyway it was probably the best course of action. :V

tbax704 · « **Reply #442 on:** March 16, 2011, 11:42:09 AM »

Yup, and shot stays at level 1 (or 3 in easy mode). It will take a lot of time to defeat the boss, especially the last one.

Zengeku · « **Reply #443 on:** March 16, 2011, 12:40:22 PM »

Not to forget, how ridiculous the danmaku gets if you don't freeze.

Milking becomes more important the lower the difficulty you're playing :ohdear:

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #446 on:** March 16, 2011, 02:36:25 PM »

What? I've tried milking a lot of things on normal mode, and nothing actually helped... Maybe I'm just bad.

I would also like to suggest Mystic Square.
