Touhou Bitching/Whining Thread mk. 7

[theshirn]

Okay, this thread should totally go back to shape. I'm out of things to say at the moment, but at this rate, it'll be the "UFO Bitching/Whining Thread"

It tends to be.  In fact, it's tended to be such since UFO came out. :/

EDIT:
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR EXAlice

The next time that happens, save a replay of the run and watch it.  Seriously.

[Alice★f]

SO CLOSE

With only this much left in Byakuren's life bar: (About to capture her last card hot damn)

"-------------------------------"

And I died. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8611

Here lies the memories of Reimu B, who sought to 1cc UFO Normal and failed.

Meanwhile, I made Ran make me a sammich. After that, I will try again.

st4 stage portion is pretty simple tbh

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

More UFO Hard. Too many derps.

Also, Scarlet Meister(fangame), what the fuck is this? Made it to Stage 3 of Easy but derped some, but still, this is supposed to be Easy mode. Normal doesn't seem that bad on the first stage either, but I keep messing it up. Hard/Lunatic, what the fuck?

I wouldn't be surprised if even the best players here couldn't 1cc this fangame on Hard/Lunatic.

Also, Concealed the Conclusion. How do I stop sucking?

[ふねん1]

I'm glad Subterranean Sun killed me, otherwise it would have been a perfect run ruined by Utsuho not fucking dying in time at the end of her second nonspell.

[Zengeku]

Killing Doll is being a bitch! How i am i supposed to read which directions those knives are gonna be headed if they all bundle on top of each other? I dunno who said the knives had crappy hitboxes, what i know is that hitbox problems is not what kills me here. Its reading issues. Moo...

That card would be better if Sakuya's random movement wasn't capable of doubling the difficulty of it.

What's worse is: For this entire day (5 Stage 5 runs of EoSD) i haven't been able to capture her mid-boss spell at all. That's usually pretty easy for me! Meh.

[Nyyl]

Have you ever found yourself 1cc'ing a Touhou on normal, and thinking to yourself, "huh, that was easy"
until later you realize FML IT REALLY WAS EASY. EASY MODE

though this really only happens on PoFV, since all the other games have different cards for each difficulty

[ふねん1]

I think I'm finally understanding just how much luckshit Parasol Star Memories is. Yet another problem I have with randomness: when cards are this insane, it almost feels like instead of "you captured the card", it's more "the card let you capture it" (please note how I worded these; it matters).

That one PSM capture I had - you know, the one I got on my fifth ever attempt - was it just a fluke after all? It no longer feels like an accomplishment when it's not even me capturing the card, but me just getting lucky.

[GenericTouhouFailure]

ARGHGHG Had the shittiest MOF playthrough EVER.
(Normal)
Awesome scoring tactics until stage 3. Intro. Death.
(9)'d Nitori's 1st nonspell (which is practically unfaillable until she walls you)
Died as Nitori's final was asploding.
Panic Bomb'd aya's survival on the last second (damn so close to capture ayayayayaya)
Derp'd Over (9) 000 times on Sanae.
Somehow reached Kanako and Game ovar'd on her 2nd last spell.
also FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK this link goes to another run

[LHCling]

And here I was, just a few moments ago, rejoicing over discovering a new scoring route. Want to know what happened? I died 4 times on Stage 4. With limited resources due to scoring, it obviously hurt me a lot more.

Sigh. Going to try again later.

[Critz]

Damn it...thanks to Sanae I realized that I will absolutely not 1cc normal any Touhou game not named Imperishable Night...

Gotta love how MoF likes to reward your attempts to not bomb everything that moves with goddamned clipdeaths.
Also, why the hell is Nazrin`s very first spellcard (Rare Metal Detector) so damn hard? UFO is the only game where my finger gets twitchy to bomb the very first goddamned spellcard. It reminds me of Hina`s Bad Fortune, where I have to focus on multiple bullet lines, but this is Stage 1 damn it...

[LHCling]

FFS I'm stopping.

EDIT: Tempted to open up Stage Practice. Walled by Stage 6 Nue for unknown reasons (I assume that certain fairies didn't go pop), lost a life and yeah. Stupid way to go out, isn't it?

[Jaimers]

Hmm... So far scenario D in CtC seems to be the hardest scenario by far.
Alice alone is harder than the stage 5 boss, I'm not even joking.

Also look what somebody recreated:

[theshirn]

oh HELLLLLLLLLL NO

[Reddyne]

I'm having an easier time beating Suwako than I am Kanako. I can have the same number of lives and everything, but I just got my ass kicked by Kanako twice and I've beaten Suwako a half-dozen times now.

What the hell? Why am I picking up all the crappy deaths all of the sudden? I used to fly through EoSD without so much as using a bomb until stage 4. Now I die on average THREE times before reaching Patchy? That's total crap.

ReimuA is the most terribly designed weapon for EoSD's extra stage. Underpowered homing amulets that don't home in on Flandre during Cranberry Trap and Four of a Kind? Oh, sign me right up!

[Critz]

This. Why the heck homing Reimu is so crappy in the one game I would really like to use her - SA? Auto item collection is quite useful though.
On a side note: is Marisa C (Nitori support) a good shottype? It reminds me of the old good magic missile, and the bomb lasts long plus it gives you 0.50 power if you survive AND pulling off a deathbomb means another border for free. Saved me a lot of times when I felt I`m not gonna make it and allowed me to actually try.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

MarisaC is the worst shot in the game. Not only that, she gets the hardest Satori fight in the game.

[Formless God]

Red yin-yang orbs spam and purple pillars say hi.

This looks so strange yet so familiar :/

[Alice★f]

MarisaC is the worst shot in the game. Not only that, she gets the hardest Satori fight in the game.

Reimu A's fight is much more harder imo because of Double Death Butterfly (0/42) and Border of Wave and Particle (35/42). That shit on Lunatic burns my eyes.

*Histories are for Normal.

At least Marisa C is manageable, and the Spell Card reminds me of the Supernatural Border from PCB. Ahh, I love that.

[Marly]

The bomb system in Touhou 10. Makes me rage that I have to sacrifice my firepower for it.

I'll give you DBDB, that's legitimately hard. But BoWaP is static - you learn it, and it becomes a piece of cake. Not only that, the Lunatic version has exactly the same pattern as on Hard (faster, but bullet layout is the same). So you don't even have to worry about losing your eyesight learning Lunatic's pattern - just prepare yourself on Hard first.

I can't really say much about MarisaC's Satori fight - I only ever use ReimuA.

Except it's extremely easy to regain your Power in MoF. You can often get a big chunk of it back from stuff the bomb auto-collects, removing some of the work you need to do while you're still invincible.

It's not really ls though.
If you stay in the same place you are trap. Attempt again but this time without fail.
Moving right and left actually will help you.

Stock bombs admittedly are much better.

oh HELLLLLLLLLL NO

What is that?

[LHCling]

What is that?

Judging by the screenshot, a replication of this.
Alternatively, it may be a replication of ~*~The Books~*~, but the fading in circles and single-layered circles appear to disagree with me. Well, a comfirmation / clarification should solve things.

/selfplug
EDIT: Oh look, a new way to safespot Ichirin (not Lunatic apparently) without requiring the precision as per the 'original' method, but still retaining a rather large portion of graze. I'm surprised I didn't see this sooner. For the interested.

EDIT 2: Oh look, now because I've been playing on Hard so much, I've almost forgotten everything about Lunatic! Hooray!

[ふねん1]

I do hope you're talking about the Lunatic version, because Hard is actually not that bad.

Of course I'm moving around. The problem is parasols and random bullets keep walling off every path I can take (and yes, I'm also moving off the bottom when it gets dangerous, but I still get walled higher up). Not to mention Kogasa's random movements make this happen much more often than I'd like. Why ZUN brought that feature back, I have absolutely no idea.

Not sure what "Attempt again but this time without fail" means. Unless that's saying "capture it again".

Yeah, it's a complete reference to the LLS rings of death.
However after having done it a few times, it's not nearly as bad as the original (it's actually dodgeable), there's also a lot more room between the bullets in the rings.
It still scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it though.  :blush:

Marisa A
Easy 04/ 05
Normal 22/ 23
Hard 02/ 02
Lunatic 07/ 07

Hard mode spawns three of those balls, right?
And lunatic spawns five.
If you switch sides of the screen between destroyed parasols then it comes down to not hitting the initial red swirl of bullets. And Kogasa only throws, what, three of those per direction?
You are going to get trapped every now and then but after a few fractions of a second they'll move out of the way.

Those hitboxes are smaller than I take them for :Oa
