Game Discussion I just wanted to share that I almost 1ccd PCB

20 Upvotes

I’ve actually never beaten PCB before, so this was almost blind 1cc (if that exists). I made it to the sixth stage boss and I beat Yuyuko (or I thought), what I hadn’t known was that she had a last resort where she just went all out, so it messed up my blind 1cc 😭

Game Discussion Questions for anyone who has practiced LNN

6 Upvotes

Hi! I have been putting serious consideration into going for an LNN lately and I have some questions. I'm looking for answers from anyone who has put in practice with the intention of eventually getting an LNN, even if you haven't gotten one yet or gave up. I just want some idea of what I'm getting into.

  • What was your skill level when going for your first LNN became a thought in your mind?
  • What was it when you made LNN your stated goal?
  • What made the LNN appealing over other things? (e.g. more LNBs, scoring, playing different shmups, etc.)
  • What time frame did you expect to get your LNN in? How, if at all, did your expectations change as you practiced more?
  • How long did it take you to get your first low(er) miss run?
  • Were there any pitfalls you fell into during your grind? (e.g. bad practice routines, bad strategizing, bad mindset, etc.) If so, how did you get out?
  • Any other comments?

Thank you very much!

Game Discussion EOSD - Do the Star of David books in the library level actually take damage or do I just have to wait them out?

8 Upvotes

I'm just now getting into the games and I've been playing EOSD the past 3 or 4 days, and I feel like I've got a pretty good grip on the first 3 levels, and even the fifth is starting to get easier, but the library level always trips me up. I'm having a hard time telling if my shots actually do anything to the laser books that pop up and do patterns or if I just need to survive and they go away on their own. Can you actually kill them or do you just have to wait it out?

Game Discussion What counts as "losing a life" in UDoALG?

3 Upvotes

There is an achievement in this game where you're required to "Clear Normal or higher without losing a life". I just cleared Marisa's story on Normal without losing any of those "hearts" at the top........ but I didn't get the achievement.

So I'm confused, what does it mean to "lose a life" in UDoALG?? Is losing your shield counted as a "Miss"??? If so, that's....... really strict. Not impossible of course, but strict. And it's also extremely unclear in-game, which is frustrating.

There are so many mechanics in this game I still don't understand, but the wikis are incomplete ;; Sigh

Help/Question What's your favorite Touhou game and why?

14 Upvotes

Let's make this simple. So, what is your favorite Touhou game and why? Mine is Touhou 13 and why? Because it's quite easy for me to play, even my 4 yo lil cousin (who never play/know about Touhou before) can play it easily and almost beat the game in easy mode but died/lose at stage 6. And maybe it's because my first Touhou game i played? I guess that the reason. So, how about you...?

4 Upvotes

This may be a weird thing to ask so I think it needs some explanations. I've been talking with someone who play touhou since April 2023, and when I watch him play he manage to 1cc most touhou in a couple of tries or directly 1cc Normal it on a blind run, while it generally take me 6 or more attempt to beat the game. He hasnt done any game on Lunatic yet, but here's my achievelent so far:

Started playing 08/10/23 [DD/MM/YYYY]

17/10/23: 1cc Normal [Marisa B] Eosd

23/10/23: 1cc Normal [Sakuya A] PcB

27/10/23: 1cc IN Normal [Border Team] IN

29/10/23: Extra Clear [Border Team] IN

08/11/23: 1cc Normal [Marisa A] Eosd

09/11:1cc 1cc Normal [Reimu B] Eosd

10/11/23: Extra Clear [Marisa A] Eosd

10/11/23: 1cc Normal [Reimu A] Eosd

28/11/23: 1cc Lunatic [Reimu A] PcB ~2 weeks to beat

30/11/23: Extra Clear [Reimu A] PcB

04/12/23: Phantasm Clear [Reimu A] PcB

16/12/23: 1cc Lunatic [Marisa B] Eosd ~9 days

16/12/13: 1cc Normal [Marisa C] MoF

21/12/23: 1cc Normal [Reimu A] SA

23/12/23: 1cc Normal [Patchouli] FDF1

23/12/23: 1cc Normal [Marisa] FDF2

24/12/23: 1cc Normal [Reimu] TD

24/12/23: 1cc Normal [Sakuya A] DDC

25/12/23: 1cc Normal [MarisaFall] HSiFS

25/12/23: 1cc Normal [Marisa-Otter] WBaWC

26/12/23: 1cc Normal [Sanae] UM

26/12/23: 1cc Normal Pointdevice [Sanae] LolK

27/12/23: 1cc Normal [Mokou/Keine] EIoS

27/12/23. 1cc Normal [Marisa] FDF1

29/12/2023: Extra Clear [ReimuB] PcB

30/12/2023: Extra Clear [Marisa] FDF2

01/01/24: Phantasm Clear [Marisa] FDF2

So I was wondering if that differences of months make a big difference in terms of capability to read patterns or Im just slowly progressing? Because I feel like I've improved since I started but at the same time Im still far away from his level.

Note:I can provide the replay of my lunatic and extras if needed

I'm new to touhou and my experience with bullet hells doesn't really go past enter the gungeon, but I just 1ccd touhou 6 (using reimu and the homing amulet), and maaaaaan does it feel good. I finished with 0 extra lives and 1 bomb, and in the final fight I swear I deathbombed 2 or 3 times. Now all that awaits me is the extra stage before I move on to 7.
