Touhou Bitching/Whining Thread mk. 7

[Jaimers]

Oh ye gods, CtC!Eirin's last spell is garbage.

The quote- "Try harder"

Well, to be fair, PSM's difficulty really depends on what shottype you're using.
The difficulty can range from trivial to feasible to downright impossible.

[チソウ タイゼン]

I was using Laser Marisa. :/

[Jaimers]

I was using Laser Marisa. :/

Piercing is a really helpful ability to have on a card like this.
Also, her unfocused shot is pretty wide at 4.00 power which helps for taking out umbrella's coming from the sides.

I never actually said that MarisaA fell in the "trivial" category.
I don't remember exactly what shottypes go where.

[nintendonut888]

I can tell  you where Reimu A fits in there. *shakes fist* I could have perfected Kogasa so many times by now if it weren't for that freaking card.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Gameovered on Yuka's Last Phase on LLS Hard.
How do you even do that? I just saw a wall coming at me.

[Infy♫]

Gameovered to Nue's final fairy wave in stage 6. Just before Byakuren...
Fuck you Nue.

[ふねん1]

Yeah, I was using ReimuA for PSM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't ReimuB (and possibly MarisaB) have it worse?

And Mister Sanity, don't forget the much longer lanes (even though they have two small gaps in them) on Lunatic. Oh God the restrictions...

[DracoOmega]

I don't know where the heck my playing ability has gone today. Died to Well-Bucket-Dropping-Monster FOUR times in a row. And then when I finally got past that, died 3 times to Yamame. Next attempt, died to the orbs right before midboss-Parsee, which I'm pretty sure have never ever hit me before, and then to the faeries immediately afterwards, which have ALSO never hit me before. Tried extra, and died 2 times to Sanae. I decided at that point, that I was better off not playing Touhou anymore today T.T

[Jaimers]

I can tell  you where Reimu A fits in there. *shakes fist* I could have perfected Kogasa so many times by now if it weren't for that freaking card.

Actually, I believe ReimuA is one of the best shottypes to use for "PSM".  :V
As for ReimuB, it's completely impossible for her to capture it unless you safespot it.

[Formless God]

PSM has a safespot ? :V

[Demonbman]

I just learned that there was a extreamly better way to capture Red Oni Blue Oni, almost the complete opposite of what I have been doing.

[Jaimers]

PSM has a safespot ? :V

Go in the space between Kogasa's hitbox and the spawning bullets.
It's really tricky to do and I wouldn't really recommend it.

[nintendonut888]

Gameovered on Yuka's Last Phase on LLS Hard.
How do you even do that? I just saw a wall coming at me.

It's static, and there are tiny gaps that you have to memorize. Still, it is utterly impossible to learn unless you savestate abuse (which I really need to do someday).

Also, Kogasa's safespot is her legs. Ha ha old chap!

[LHCling]

Actually, I believe ReimuA is one of the best shottypes to use for "PSM".  :V
As for ReimuB, it's completely impossible for her to capture it unless you safespot it.

ReimuA is 3rd best due to raw cutting power. MarisaA snaps this Spell Card in half so easily, and SanaeB has collateral damage going for her. You would think MarisaB has something going on due to spread + a decent overall damage count but there isn't unfortunately.

Oh, and ReimuB. The only reason why the History is that low is because of my ~50 timeout attempts, pacifist runs, etc.  :<

Gameovered on Yuka's Last Phase on LLS Hard.
How do you even do that? I just saw a wall coming at me.

Static, but just bomb. Even ZUN says the attack is way over the top in the comments found on the disk. I haven't seen the attack on Hard for quite some time now but I'll assume it retains the same viciousness relative to the difficulty.

Also, Kogasa's safespot is her legs. Ha ha, old chap!

Well, where else do you expect the safespot to be?  :V

[orinrin]

The funny thing about Namu-san's curvy lazors is the fact that I would have made it through without losing a life if I didn't move for the last couple seconds of the card.  There is nothing to blame except myself this time.

[c l e a r]

Are you serious?



This is my Hard mode no-card run with Youmu's Story in SWR, I have soooo many problems with this.  Tenshi is alright, but if I just didn't lose a life back in Stage 3, I would have been fine.

First of all, am I the only one who absolutely HATES Yukari's first card?   I don't know, but whatever reason, I either fly too high or too low, or I mess up on the last circle of bullets and have to sit through another 10 seconds of the same shit.

The second card is alright, until you get hit with one of those bullets, get knocked back to where Yukari is going appear, since you can't graze the death wheel, I lost a life there.  If that doesn't do me in, Flying Insect's Nest will, that shit should not drain my spirit that fast.  I watched some videos and found that you can fly above the line of fire and use your 2B bullets and aim down, but that is HARD to do.

I think it is Youmu's and Alice's Story on Hard that I can't 1cc without cards.  Someone can offer me some advice?

Oh, and PSM Safespot?  Sweet, how do you get in there without bombs?  Is it there as soon as it starts?  But what do you mean by tricky?  (and yea, I don't expect anything less for her weakness to be there, lol)

And the CtC last word you speak off... Almagest or Life Pulse?

[Naut]

Oh, and ReimuA.

>Ｂタイプ

pff well then

All this talk about safespots is showing me your true colors, gents. Wussies >: |

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

But the card is total luckshit in the first place.

Also, wouldn't the safespot just be moving due to Kogasa's random movements? Have fun with that.

[Azinth]

Safespotting is way too tiresome, real wussies use the chickenbomb.

[LHCling]

>Ｂタイプ

pff well then

YOU SAW NOTHING.

Also, this. Only time you should really be safespotting is when you're playing for score, really. Cowards  :V

Also, wouldn't the safespot just be moving due to Kogasa's random movements? Have fun with that.

Yes it would. But it's still easy to move around in anyways; the trajectories of the umbrellas make it so that they (almost?) never cross into the zone unless you get unlucky; I'm talking extremely unlucky here. That, and the safespot is... larger than what one would initially think.

The safespot can be reached... as soon as the battle starts really; it exists right from the get-go with the first non-spell. Or, you can be a master of timing out clearing the attack in such a way that you can move up the screen as Kogasa declares.

[Alice★f]

Touhou PCB Extra:

So I capture all of Chen's cards.
And I capture all of Ran's cards until her timeout card comes along.

BAM 7 Deaths. And I couldn't even use the goddamn bombs. <Sakuya A>
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

[LHCling]

Comparison.
EDIT:

[Arcengal]

I just lost out on a 1 billion plus score in Phantasm because I chickened out and bombed the fourth phase of Bounded Field. I've never felt comfortable doing it in PCB and reckoned that bomb + card bonus would be worth less overall than a lost life. Didn't realise until after the final scores tallied up that I had beaten my previous high score and would have probably beaten the 1b mark if I hadn't bombed.

I daren't watch the replay in case I was okay. I didn't even think my score would be that good, since I had to bomb DBDB and BoLaD and didn't get borders at the right times during Zen Temple. I can't even say it was a no death run because I died to the last wave of pellets before the Yukari fight even started.

URGH.

[Sen]

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

Happened to me on my first try on PoD.D.

Due to that mistake I now refuse to play it on any difficulty except Lunatic :V

[Jaimers]

Made it to "Young Demon Lord" on a no bombs 1cc attempt.
Goddamnit those 3 deaths on Sakuya should not have happened!
Caught "Killing Doll", caught "Eternal Meek", survived the stage 4 end of stage spam with ReimuA.
Bawww... 

And the CtC last word you speak off... Almagest or Life Pulse?

Oh ye gods, CtC!Eirin's last spell is garbage.

Anyway, CtC scenario B showcase should be up tomorrow.

[Alice★f]

So uh...

I Unlocked Phantasm.

& WTF Even SA Extra is harder than this.

Touhou Difficulty is all over the place, where Normals are Easy, Easy are Normal, Extras are Lunatics, Phantasm is Hard, Hard is Normal, Lunatic is Bullshit. Lunatic UFO has it's own special place.

I notice a HUGE different from PCB Hard than from PCB Lunatic. Like this:

Easy
Normal
Hard
Lunatic

[Bananamatic]

zun really exaggerated the extra/phantasm difficulty descriptions, phantasm is basically extra with some tweaks

sometimes lunatic is easy, sometimes it's borderline possible

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

MarisA Patchouli is such bullshit.

I would never attempt a no bombs 1cc on most(if not all of the games). Especially not EoSD. MarisA gets it so bad. You already have a almost 100% chance of death on the books. Then 5 almost 100% chance deaths on Patchouli, possibly more than that. Not much margin for error with Marisa considering you're only allowed to die 8 times.

Actually, if I were to attempt one, it would be MoF. IN would be possible too if I wasn't terrible at Marisa.

[LHCling]

Thought it would be a great idea to touch up some scores before moving back up.

[10:35] <Baity> @calc 600*525
[10:35] <@Keine> Baity: 315000

Screenshot relevant.

EDIT:

Then 5 almost 100% chance deaths on Patchouli, possibly more than that.

I see one, maybe two myself. Three is the hard cap though.

[ふねん1]

While we're on topic of EoSD, AGHAGHAGH EoSD!

There's so many things wrong with EoSD's gameplay, it's a complete mystery why I'm even getting urges to play this game at all. Doing so only makes me rage at it even more than the last time. Hell, even UFO is better than this luckshit game.
