>LEAST amount of graze

Hmm...

>>6782648
I was sure I put spacing between the first and second lines.

Forgot to toss in the tiebreaker. In the event two players have an identical graze count the one with the higher score is the winner.

Why? To preserve the amazing quality of ZUN's drawings?

Low graze for SA stage two, not the best idea in the world.

>>6782765
Precisely.

Hey, missed you guys. Can't play now, keep the thread alive.

>>6782788

>>6782715

233. Shitsux. Does Marisa have a wider graze area or what?

I may need to rethink about my strategy.

I've found out that I can be much worse than I thought I am when I try to. Holy shit.
Also, what's with this weird déjà vu I'm feeling?

Darn it.

>>6782824
were you doing the "run into the bullet instead of grazing" idea? I tried that too.>>6782809

>>6782832
fuck man. winner so far though.

I just know someone is going to punish me because of these continued mistakes.

Wanted to try out Marisa & Alice/Patchouli this time, but I never ran Lunatic with them...

I should have created a backup score.dat so the perfect spell record wouldn't be ruined.

Waiting on the new round...

I can't do less than 16 in normal, FUCK YOU!

Next round begins in eight minutes.

Holy shit. I went and played EoSD while I was waiting, and I just captured Red Magic on Hard for the first time ever. Scarlet Meister raped my scrawny little ass, but I was just in the zone for Red Magic.

OP here. Sorry for being a little late.

Next round is Imperishable Night, stage six. All difficulty modes are available.

Score based round.

Any character/team allowed.

Rules for standard game.
1. You can try as many times as you like as long as you post your score on time.
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

The round will end at 19:10.

>>6782948
You should specify 6B. I almost went and fought Eirin there for a second.

I. Know. Nothing. About the patterns in this game. Only captured midboss Eirin, Kaguya's fourth regular and all the Last Spells except for the second and last, failed at 00 seconds.

>>6782975
Yes, sorry for forgetting that! As you can tell I haven't played this game in ages. Hopefully people will assume it meant either, and the logical choice would be 6B.

Fuck, I was just over 1000 (which I think is still pretty bad) and suiciding on her spells after hourai jewel to avoid extra grazes. So I run into the 4 o'clock spell unfocused and smash my body against hers... But I end up right on the safe spot, the tiny little dot and the first wave gives me an extra what, 900 grazes? So I just sit there and watch in horror. I'm going to try this again.

I can't tell if the topic of challenge is unpopular, or interest has already waned after experiencing the novelty of a thread that's no longer common. Or the unlikely case that people are engaged in restart hell. If there's no more than two or three entries by the end of the round I'll push it to 19:30, then proceed with the next (and perhaps keep this one afloat).

>>6783080
Let's play Crimzon Clover.

>>6783066
If you catch this in time, the conditions of the round have already changed to scoring. But don't let me stop you from enjoying yourself.

Oops, I don't know how to IN.

>>6783066
Not as good as my first try but whatever, this'll do.

All right, extending the time limit to 19:30.

>>6783089
Very well then, it'll be the round after the next one.

>>6783092
Oh. Oops.

Jesus Christ this was horrible. HORRIBLE.
I didn't even know that it was possible to fail all last spells in the same run, even in practice mode.

>>6783193
So bad I didn't even find the screenshot in time. Oh wow.

I've not seen one of these in ages.

But alas, it's late where I am and i have to work tomorrow. Thanks anyway.

Hurry up, team! No time to milk stuff.

I can't believe you failed the final Last Spell at 00 seconds again.

And I forgot my screenshot.

oh god i am so happy.

ps. what's the key to take in-game screenshots again?

>>6782648
>25fps
do you play this on a 10yo toaster?

>>6783289
Gee, that post took forever to show up after I deleted it the first time.

>>6783295
Home key. But in the case of EoSD you'll want to use the print screen key.

>>6783292
Apparently hates it when I rush the game through the score tally.

I've never played EoSD for score, so I don't even know what to do.

>>6783289
Do you start the level through Practice Start or Normal Start?

>>6783289
And...the link!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VWHZKH52

>>6783333
Always practice unless stated otherwise.

>>6783324
thank you

blegh been too long since i've played any EoSD

Oh vpatch, you so crazy.

And well... I guess a victory is a victory, even when it's by W.O.

I missed these threads. I haven't played Touhou in ages. First try, not so good. But I guess I captured the same cards I usually get. I just died and panic bombed too much.

>>6783341
Is this one of those usual shmups that run even on the poorer toasters out there? I can't find anything mentioning the minimim specs needed to run it anywhere, not even on what seems to be the website of its creator.

>>6783440
I have a pretty new computer, but it lags severely with max settings as I go into break mode sometimes.

>>6783440

http://doujin-games88.blogspot.com/2011/01/c79-crimzonclover-jpn-download.html

Seems to have the system requirements

Reimu-A, yay. Failed China's first spell because I forgot where the pattern started.

WHY IT MUST BE STAGE 3 EOSD

>>6783458
>CPU : Pentium 4 2GHz or higher
And it looks like I'm out. Oh well.

>>6783477
Holy crap dude, even the POS I am on now temporarily exceeds that (2.4GHz P4). What's your CPU's specs?

>>6783489
It's a little Duron 1600 I got 6 or so years ago. It actually runs all Touhou games pretty well, and only lags on 12.8 when too many bullets are frozen at the same time.
And since I don't play much more than emulators, old games and doujin games, I've never really tried to get anything better than it.

i tried my best on hard modo.

>>6783470
Too bad I have no more time to play today.
This should be done more often.

I haven't tried this since the demo.

will the next round be touhou?

>full game

I can only get to stage 3 or 4 usually. This will be good.

>>6783537
Yes, I already have something planned for it. Feel free to drop some suggestions.

>>6783542
Considering a full run plus a big game to download, you probably have to extend the time limit, and run another round in parallel.

"They still play Official touhou games."

Laughingwhores.jpg

>>6783559
Yeah, that's why I put the link at (not quite) the beginning of the previous round. Still, one hour is a tad bit short so I'll probably extend it or have it last until the end of the thread.

>>6783576
Also, posting seems to be extremly slow so apologies if I don't get the next round up on time (again).

I didn't expect to do so well... competition really brings out my skill, I guess. The spinning laser attack from the third boss is still brutal rape, though. And I had 2 stupid deaths in stage 3.

>>6783633
Jesus christ it's like you actually know the mechanics of this game.

Did better than I was expecting, at any rate.

>>6783633
When you post your continue screen we can't see how much better your max rate was than ours!

What do I dooooo.

Yeah, this is staying up until the end of the thread. I'll be busy for a bit so the next round starts at 21:25.

>>6783644
Very little of it. Just blasting everything using normal shots no good, only lock-ons allowed. And Breaks does nothing to your score compared to Double Breaks.

Oh and ending the boss with lock-on during double breaks is a massive bonus too.

>>6783687
I closed the game because of rage. Max rate should be about 6000x-7000x, nothing to see.

OP here.

The Crimzon Clover round will remain open until the end of the thread.

Next round is Undefined Fantastic Object, stage four. All difficulty modes are available.

Needless to say I suck, but I had fun trying. Normally I use bombs more in my runs, so trying to go for score only hurt my game. Oh well, just another reason to get back into practice.

I died in the VERY LAST SECOND OF GHOST SINKER
GAH

58,335,350 on Normal. For some reason I can't take a screenshot, it just shows my desktop.

got raped by the last spellcard as usual, and fucked up on the second last one as well..

Died to the final noncard then the following spell near the end of its life. Yuck.

>>6783750
fuck I was afk, what do I have to do now?

>>6783840
It's in the post. Highest score is a given (though I should have put it in), otherwise it'll be specified.

I honestly haven't played actual touhou in quite some time. I really suck now. I guess I should start practicing again.

I haven't played in a while so I forgot how I'm supposed to beat some of the spellcards.

OP here.

Normal mode winner: >>6783804

Next round is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Extra stage.

Survival-based round. The player with the most lives (or makes it farthest) at the end is the winner. In the case of a tie the winner will be determined by their bomb stock, and finally score.

If you do not have the Extra stage unlocked then you can download the score.dat below. Quite incomplete, but it'll be a nice project in the future to start a fresh game and unlock everything.

Reimu-B: http://www.mediafire.com/?6d54yoqhmpnauxe

bump

Died in the last three seconds of both of the last two spellcards...
why

>>6783945
Oh, if a full characters unlocked for Extra dat is desired you can have mine.
http://www.mediafire.com/?rja4s3wi3nprf77

>>6783945
Is it okay for the next round or the round after to be the Suwako game? Which features jumping and an isometric view?

Nobody else is doing PCB Extra? But Extras are the best parts of the games...

>>6784154

I can't beat the extras yet so I'm sitting this one out. Waiting for the next challenge.

>>6784165
Aw, but you can at least see how far you can get.
>The player with the most lives (or makes it farthest)

>>6784169

I can't get past Chen if that tells you anything.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I was already sad over missing the 800 extend, and I know what I did wrong. No need to bomb for those items. But this...

NEVER let your eyes wander during the final spell. Hit the timeout phase, comfy in my safespot but only the fringe of my shot is hitting. No problem, it'll finish the spell before it times out. Eyes are wandering far away from the screen and I hear the death wail. Fuck me and my confidence. And damn you to hell, T.

>>6784145
Sure.

>>6784175
>timeout
Why? It's not really that difficult to do normally. Heck, even Boundary of Life and Death isn't really that bad.

well this is fucking pathetic.

took me a few tries to get used to going through the first bits without doing the bombing tricks, and it proved to be useless in the end.

>>6784191
I wanted three borders, one from ending the spell, and extra graze.

Link to the Suwako game I don't know about: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S72KV5JI

>>6784040
And you're not T. I wonder who.

>>6784210
>And you're not T. I wonder who.

Ah, nevermind. I passed over it somehow.

For Suwako game :
http://www.mediafire.com/?0egnr47bxy1n4oy

This works, and apparently much smaller than the one that's listed.

>>6784298
It's like that because the actual CD containing the game also contains DirectX update.

>>6784305
Do you know what this game's FPS standard? I am getting 99-100 FPS and the game feels too hard.

>>6784328
It's supposed to be around 60 like most touhou games.

OP here.

Survival round winner: >>6784040

Okay, running into some technical difficulties as well. I shouldn't have tried to get everything figured out right this moment. If someone wants to host the challenge for that game, be my guest. I'm wrapping things up here.

If this is ever done again I'll probably draw out some plans for the regular games ahead of time. Then there won't be a one or two or several minutes of delay. UFO stage four + scoring is also a particularly bad combination, in my opinion. Thanks for putting up with this.

>>6784191
Okay, that was the wrong answer. You're right, I know it's not that bad but I haven't played this stage again until recently, and I haven't actually tried to dodge the spell in forever. Usually too nervous about trashing the scoring run even worse than a simple bomb + loss of spell bonus.

Which shot type is better in SJSTG? The wide one seems to be much better at taking out enemies, but it seems like the iron ring bomb is a lot stronger.

>>6784391

Shoot.

Crimzon Clover round winner: >>6783633

And I don't have a suitable thread-ending picture at hand. Need to set those aside as well.

>>6784298
Well, at least this means I'll be getting a ton of practice on this game before I try to submit a score here...

As it stands, I am not so good at this game.

>>6784391
> UFO stage four + scoring is also a particularly bad combination, in my opinion.

It's my favorite for it, personally. It's a long stage but unlike 5 it doesn't hinge around nailing one megascore part. 3 might be better though, there's less boss pressure.
