Touhou Bitching/Whining Thread mk. 7

[theshirn]

I just cannot deal with bullets coming from behind me. That's the only explanation for my failure to consistently capture A Forgotten Umbrella's Night Train.

On Easy. >_>

For the record, the Easy version is significantly tougher than the Normal one.

[LHCling]

[jc_foster]

About an hour of assorted MoF stage runs, and the only highlight was getting another Mountain of Faith Normal capture.

Among the lowlights:

* Failing Mountain God Procession as it was clearing
* Failing Expanded Onbashira as it was clearing
* Failing Source of Rains (Hard) at 5%
* Dying three straight times to the opening fairies in S4 (Hard)
* Failing Illusionary Dominance (Normal) at 2 seconds
* Failing Illusionary Dominance (Hard) also at 2 seconds

[WanderingKnight]

yeah uh massive lolwut

I fail that spell pretty often in Hard. Of course it's always followed by an immediate ragequit (though I think I found a way of doing it consistently now).

[Drake]

Uh, no. I find it hilariously easy on Lunatic, even. The point is that she totally walled me in when the one solo bullet is shot randomly.

[Demonbman]

How in the world did you manage that?!

[LHCling]

By doing something like this.

[WanderingKnight]

Uh, no. I find it hilariously easy on Lunatic, even. The point is that she totally walled me in when the one solo bullet is shot randomly.

I know it's loleasy, I was just saying that for some bizarre reason I have a hard time on it even though I'm not that bad of a player (not that good, either, but still not bad enough to get repeatedly punished by a stage 1 hard attack).

[Demonbman]

Wah! Curse you Kanako! Although I probably would have 1ccd MoF Normal with ReimuA if it wasn't for those FOUR derp deaths on Nitori... Oh dawdamit

[Silent Harmony]

So I 1cc with Marisa A. Did horrible, stupid deaths everywhere (another Orin tackle, can't stream worth shit) yet still manage to win with four lives. Even captured [Heaven and Hell Meltdown] for the first time ever.

So why am I here?

The replay is working ok now. Keeping the video link though because it's 3am and I'm cranky. COMPLETELY FUCKING BROKEN!!! It has me game-overing on Utsuho's first card by ramming EVERYTHING once it starts.

Is this de-sync (doubt it very much, since it'd be a first) or am I just hated by God tonight?

Either way: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Krimmydoodle]

Try watching the replay from Stage 5.  Full-game SA replays tend to desync at the Utsuho fight if you start the replay from Stage 6 (and the same happens with MoF and Stage 4, in which case you would want to start the replay from Stage 3).

[Silent Harmony]

 

Thank you Krim!

Finally got it to sync by starting on Stage 4 and not touching V-Sync. Will try starting from Stage 5 in the morning. Also will have to edit that rant I suppose. =/

At least I won't have to worry about good runs being ruined in the future...

[LHCling]

Vsync Patch doesn't fix replays  :V

That aside, Screw you and your bullets spawning on top of me. Enough with you; begone, spawn of evil! And in my replay, there's plenty of "error" as well. I guess it'll be beaten "really easily"?

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Just failed 2 No Death FinalB practice runs on Hourai Jewel, one of them when I had 2 bombs in stock going into it.

[Alice★f]

Phantasm:

Die three times to Yukari on the same spell card with all bombs in stock.

Sakuya A, so that amounts to 3 deaths and a total of 12 bombs lost, which could have meant another 12 lives. In a sense, I DIED 15 TIMES.

[Silent Harmony]

Vsync Patch doesn't fix replays  :V

I know, but hitting fast-forward (Ctrl) seemed to hurt this one. Well, that or my luck was really that bad. Either way makes sense.

Anyway that isn't important; it's working from Stage 5 now. Thanks again Krim.

[Zengar Zombolt]

<ZengarZombolt> Of all the things to die to in Shuusou Gyoku's Extra, I get kicked by Reimu.
<ZengarZombolt> :V

[ふねん1]

This is why I didn't want to take a break from Touhou. I'm trying an assortment of things in each game I have, and I'm sucking so bad in everything I do. I know it's expected, but it becomes frustrating when I remember that I started this break because I hit a serious plateau. It's like a lose-lose situation for me: take a break and get worse, or continue playing and get worse. And I can't do a damn thing about it.

[Krimmydoodle]

How long have you been playing since you got off your break?  Of course there's going to be a drop in skill immediately after you return.  It's only natural simply because you haven't been playing.  If it hasn't been long since you ended your break, give it a few days for your skills to redevelop.

I think that if the lapse in playing is sufficiently longer than that of the time spent actually playing it, then the inverse actually occurs. De facto you have much better reactions given you recall what goes down. But, if you forget how each card worked, then you'd die of course :V

I already mentioned that the skill drop was expected. Not the first time it's happened to me either. But does that mean I have to like it?

[LHCling]

Well, it could certainly add a degree of challenge, if anything  :V
See: Donut.

Anyway,

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Why is this in the Bitching/Whining thread? 2 Last Spells on Mystia, a screw up on Keine's first nonspell causing me to bomb. Death on Ephemerality. Death on Tewi with 1 bomb in stock. If you add those up and then avoided those in a run, I think it adds to a potential no miss(someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Oh, and I also failed the first of Kaguya's Last Spells with 0 seconds left, which may or may not have been enough to break the 3 billion mark. Oh wait, those deaths were enough to screw that up.

[theshirn]

goddamnit goddamnit goddamnit why do I keep clipping random crap on stage 3 arrrrrrrgh

[Bananamatic]

Wait so you 2 miss IN lunatic and still rant? I could barely 1cc the A route :V

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Yeah, I probably shouldn't be complaining about a 2 miss, even when it should have been 1 or 0.

Though I don't get how someone could die 5 more times, bomb more, and capture the same # of spells could beat my score. Maybe I don't know as much about scoring yet as I thought I did, but then I haven't watched said replay yet. Wonder what I was doing wrong in score terms as I don't think the Last Spells alone could attibute that kind of difference.

[Drake]

Grazegrazegraze, timetimetime, etc.

[Choses]

Is there a level harder than UFO Level 3 on Lunatic ? I can try it for hours, hours and more hours, but I can't pass it. Even SA Stage 5 Lunatic was easier. WAY easier.
I'm about to throw my laptop through the window.

[Drake]

Stage 3 UFO is more or less streaming and getting rid of the big fairy waves before you get walled.

Note that you can circle around the screen during the streaming parts.

[Arcengal]

Just Game Over'd MoF Hard on Stage 4.

Granted I'm playing as Reimu C for laughs and I've had a long day at work, but I didn't even *see* half of the bullets that killed me. I died twice in Stage 2 for heaven's sake.
