Danmaku!

[JumpKain !!72jhnnzRnOy No.]

It's that time again, /jp/.

I've got conditions ready for at least a round or two in each of the five open PC games (EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, as if you really needed to be told this), and will create more conditions when the need arises.

Shit's gonna go down like this; I'll give a game, stage, difficulty, win condition, and in some cases, other special conditions (we'll be doing a pacifist run here and there; no focus, no bombs, etc.). You attempt the given stage/stages/spells/whatever, and post your results in screenshots. Feel free to take seperate screenshots if I provide more than one difficulty available, of course. Every round will last for 30 minutes unless otherwise noted; I'll post the starting and ending times when I start each round; these are gonna be fairly strict, probably. I always refresh the page before I post a new round; any entries that appear after my final refresh won't be counted, sorry. Be lenient with my timing, please; I may be up to five minutes after the deadline when I post, as I'll need at least a minute or two to get things sorted out.

When you post your results, please include which game you desire the next round to feature; the winner of the round will decide which I'll go with next. If there are multiple winners (such as in the case where I open more than one difficulty), I'll decide between conflicting games with the flip of a coin.

Anyway, first post to respond to this chooses which of the five games we begin with; I've already got the conditions set, so don't worry about that. Conditions for the first round will be posted in 10 minutes, at 21:00. Be ready.

[Lets Play some Danmaku. No.]

Pacifist.

[Anonymous No.]

Your name is dumb.

[JumpKain !!72jhnnzRnOy No.]

>>2016925

At least it's more unique than yours.

[JumpKain !!72jhnnzRnOy No.]

Anyway, considering that "Pacifist" is a condition and not a game, I suppose I'll just choose what we begin with.

Game: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil:
Stage: 3
Difficulty: Normal/hard
Deciding factor: Score
Other conditions: One try per person per difficulty allowed; practice mode only

There clearly isn't very much to this; just do what you can, I suppose.

By the way, I do have a pacifist round ready and lined up; get lucky, choose the right game, then win, and perhaps we'll actually get around to it sometime soon.

Anyway, round lasts from 21:00 to 21:30.

I haven't touched EoSD in months.

[JumpKain !!72jhnnzRnOy No.]

Well, that didn't go very well, but with me, I'm surprised it didn't go worse.

Easy results coming soon.

Also, I had forgotten to note this in the first post; I'll play in the rounds and submit my scores, but just for the fun of it; I'm not actually going to count my scores as part of the running.

[JumpKain !!72jhnnzRnOy No.]

>>2016998

It's not as if I'm trying to hijack the whole competition idea, but nobody else was running a topic at the time. I wouldn't really care if he took this over, he'd probably do a better job than I would, yes; but I think the important thing in the end is that we at least get some danmaku going in here.

>>2017060

This better for you? I personally don't see the big deal, but as stated, the important thing is getting some danmaku going.

Anyway, this went even worse than the normal run; I managed to die twice on Meiling's grazing attack out of general stupidity. It doesn't help that I used Marisa; for some reason, easy wasn't unlocked for Reimu. Doesn't matter too much, though, I guess.

Round's ending soon; don't forget to post what game you'd like to see next in your results. However, if nobody really cares, and would just like to leave it up to chance, then we can do that instead. Whatever everyone wants.

>>Nobody wins the easy mode competition due to no entries.

Game: Perfect Cherry Blossom
Stage: 4

Didn't want to do a plain scoring run, so here we are with this.

[Danmaku Time No.]

>>2017107
>>2017113

Sorry, your posts appeared after the last refresh. I think I've got a better way to call the end of the round, I'll attempt it at the end of this one.

>>2017115

I don't know shit about the PC-98 games, so I don't think I'd be of much use coming up with conditions for them. It sounds as if it'd be fun, I'm just not the right guy for it.

>>2017116

Meant hard mode when I announced the lack of winners, not easy mode; not like it really matters, but still.

[Danmaku Time No.]

I've just now noticed that PCB doesn't display the difficulty anywhere on the gameplay screen, but unless I've got short-term memory loss of the worst kind, I just played through hard. CherryMAX can be seen through Reimu's transparency, albeit not as much as I'd wish.

I guess I shouldn't have picked Sakuya B since shooting stuff unfocused is a large part of cherry points.

Round over; results coming very soon. I feel blind to have not noticed that Cherry bonus on the results screen before; guess it's what I get for usually ignoring my score.

As before, the other difficulty had no entrants.

Hell, why not; I don't know how many players we'll get, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

Game: Mystic Square

[Danmaku Time No.]

Why is MS more advanced than PCB in that it actually displays the difficulty on-screen without you having to pause to see it? Make up your damn mind, ZUN.

Anyway, having never done something like this, I wouldn't know for sure, but I'm betting this sucked. I had to chase the bullets around the screen most of the time, which was irritating. I was disappointed when I couldn't graze those lasers at the boss's final attack, as well.

Anyway, probably not going to bother with a normal run.

Never said you couldn't run out of lives, so I'll be counting that one. If it wasn't obvious, however, continuing is off limits.

>>2017350

As much as that interests me and makes me suddenly want to play the demo, I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea or not. However, I suppose we played a MS round knowing that we'd get very few people in on it, so I guess it won't hurt. I lack the demo, so I'll be playing the full version; not as if I'm entering this anyway.

Round's over, by the way. Results coming shortly.

>>2017454 wins this round.

Game: Imperishable Night
Stage: 2
Difficulty: Normal/hard
Deciding factor: Lives remaining; if two entries tie, highest graze count wins
Other conditions: One try per person per difficulty allowed; practice mode only; pacifist; no bombs

Pacifist can be hellishly long and boring on the later levels, so we'll go with stage 2. Make sure to note the secondary win condition; I'd recommend taking up grazing as a secondary goal just in case somebody else ties you at lives. I'd hope that at least one entry gets through the stage without a death; after all, it's only stage 2, right?

SA will come up again next round, then after that will be MoF, just for good measure.

[Danmaku Time No.]

I forget my pictures for the round beginnings so often I don't think that I'll even bother with them anymore.

Anyway, that didn't go very well, but at least I made it through. Timed out all of her cards with no deaths, except for Howl of the Horned Owl; I don't even know what hit me during that one, but something got me. Her second noncard during the boss fight always gets me; shit's even worse on lunatic, it's probably a good thing I didn't include that in this round.

Probably not going to bother with a normal run.

Game: Subterranean Animism

Choose your character wisely, as what Satori uses will most likely influence your graze count by quite a bit. Note the lack of normal mode, and don't accidentally play on it.

[Danmaku Time No.]

This didn't go too badly, I suppose; messed up on her second ripoff card and didn't get to graze on her last one, though. I was hoping I'd get to 10k graze, but it's not a huge deal.

Probably not going to bother with easy mode.

The reason for the lack of normal mode is that I wanted to give people who wanted a challenge something difficult, while giving the people who weren't as good something to do during this round. I figured it'd be a bit too much opening up three difficulties in one round, so I had to go with this. If everybody really wants three rounds, I'll put them in; I'm leaving after I post the next round's conditions, though. Sorry, but I need some rest. Anyone who desires to take over at that point is welcome to do so.
