Failed Princess Tenko. I guess I should learn how to properly graze most of the spells. And actually figure out the stage route. This is good for now though.
And needless to say, several borders where fucked up or missed completely.

Improved my Easy border route, finishing with 878,200 PIV, but played pretty badly.

Died by running straight into a bullet in Alice's final nonspell, a pretty bad stage 4, recovered from the Prismrivers' final through stage 5, but then underestimated how close I was to a border on stage 6 and died (should have bombed) and ended up collecting only 81 of the 132 point items, at lower value too (and costing me the 1400 extend). Then a border break when trying to use a supergraze I don't quite know how to do (despite practicing it 15 times earlier today) on Yuyuko's 1st spell. At least the rest of stage 6 went well.

Getting better, but still some significant mistakes. My goal currently is to finish a run on this route without any major mistakes, so I'd know I'm reasonably consistent at the current strategies, before adding anything new.

Also this run was live streamed, yay. http://www.twitch.tv/karisa113

First 1.4b in PCB, and reached 900k PIV on Normal. The gameplay could have been better though. I lost a lot of points from silly deaths.

Edit: Stage 4 desync?

I pretty much wanted to see what kind of score I can get without actually trying. And even disregarding the complete lack of any optimization (or, indeed, route), the run was atrocious.  I mean it - six misses (some really hilarious) and nine bombs used, at least two nonsense border breaks, and possibly the worst Stage 1 performance you've ever seen.  And way too much focusing... for some reason I'm unable to do ANYTHING No Focus today. Still, there was one thing that actually went well in this run - the whole Resurrection Butterfly + autocollecting trick, which I'm normally completely unable to pull off consistently.

To sum it up, the above run is not exactly something to be proud of, but I'm still posting it because it's my best PCB score by far. The first step towards the one billion barrier.

My best PCB score overall so far and the 900 million barrier broken. Stage 4 HURTS.  I messed it up so spectacularly, I still wonder why I kept playing on instead of discarding the run out of frustration. I think I died three times there and bombed at least once, all during the stage portion. Kanako only knows how many points I lost because of all those mishaps.

I'm somewhat happy with the rest of the run, even though it barely involved any grazing. I think a billion is possible, though maybe just barely.

Hi (to both Lep and navpirx). Thanks for inspiring me to play this category again. You're getting better at scoring, aren't you?

Lots of border breaks, and some deaths on stage 5. I mostly recovered for stage 6 though. It's not the 1.5b that I know my route can reach, but it's a new personal best, for PCB overall as well. I hope this run doesn't desync like my last submission did.

[Seppo Hovi]

The performance is an awful mess again, but I might not play it again forever, so I'll just stop by to post it anyway.

Bombing is still too scary. I could go for 1.7B Normal and at least 1.15B Extra, but I'd have to play more than a few credits the other day. Others are starting to take over and the scoreboard is filling up nicely with new names so I guess I could also resign. Eh.

Without that death during Yuyuko, this would've broken 1.4B. Oh well, it was a nice breather anyway. Didn't except to clear on the second credit I put into it, but I'm not complaining either. Forgot about borders here and there and just went with whatever.

There's nothing that I can fix about it now, but at least I can always make it look better with good music. Yeah. Bombs included in ten years.

My hands are sweating, my mind is trembling and my heart is god knows where. The symptoms of a good run that's about to come to an end. Yeah, I missed this. Touhou is like a drug.

Yeah, alright, the run isn't actually that good, nor even mediocre. It's on the lower side of the spectrum as my runs usually are, but I've lost any caring I used to have for that. So what, I had a damn good time.

1.7B with this route (and condition) without mistakes. Probably, I didn't actually calculate anything.

Improved my PB by about 155 mil. I'm hoping to hit 2 bil. But I've really got to learn the stage 4 route before I can get there.

Third place get! Time to slowly make my way to 2bil. Eventually.

No bombs, no border breaks nor failed cards. It plays out rather awfully, and the mistakes combined with the cowardly play make it look like a rather disgusting performance. I'm not courageous enough to watch it to be able to commentate on it.

My 1st real "Heroic" (Hard) mode 1cc on PCB w/ default 3 lives! This is quite the milestone for me, for I have certainly surpassed my old self of two years ago before that disastrous hiatus of almost two years! I've beaten "Heroic" (Hard) mode once before (That was two years ago) w/ Sakuya A, but back then, is was w/ 5 lives, so that didn't really count for much, honestly, though I remember being dang proud of it, lol! But anyhow, here it is!

*This is the nickname I will use to submit scores on MotK scoreboards, just so we're clear! I now understand exactly how naming works here, thanks to Zil!*

There were many areas, where I shouldn't have died (Most apparent on stages 4, 5, and 6) but died anyway, and, at times, bombed, when really, there was no need to (Rather scrubbish playthrough), but somehow, this one took flight, against all odds! Whew... Not bad for a week's worth of practice, a few hours a day while balancing other stuff! I will most certainly do a re-master of this sometime in the future, as this could have clearly been better! At any rate, I can now look forward to practicing "Legendary" (Lunatic) mode w/ Marisa A! 

More great things to come!

Also, I wonder if I shouldn't have post here, since this thing showed up:

"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 14 days.

I don't think it would be wise of me to start a new topic here, so I thought I'd post here. Going to cross my fingers this is okay to post anyway.

Yeah, it's fine to bump the score threads no matter how long it's been. It's not at all uncommon for them to go a few weeks without submissions.

I see. Well, that's great to know! Thanks, Zil!
