Let's Play Some Danmaku

[Anonymous No.]

It's time to kick start this, you guys ready?

The name of the game is EoSD, stage 5.
We're going to have a score run.
One try per difficulty.
No continues.
This round will end after an hour.

Remember, I'll be looking for suggestions for future rounds, so share them.

[Anonymous No.]

I'll vote for IN round next. In the meantime, I'll give EoSD a try, though I have only played stage 5 once, I think...

[Anonymous No.]

I couldn't even beat it, sadly, so my score is exceptionally bad. I'm pretty awful, I hope you guys do better.

[Anonymous No.]

EoSD? I'll submit something for other people to handily destroy, sure.

[Anonymous No.]

I just died on my easy run.

I'm not doing this anymore.

[Anonymous No.]

Couldn't you start the thread earlier? I think I'm too drunk to play...

[Anonymous No.]

God damn it. I have a way easier time with Remi than Sakuya.

[Anonymous No.]

I have no idea why but I no longer have practice mode of any stage unlocked in EOSD with any shot type. Also it's time to eat soon so I will have to pass this one


I wouldn't mind a Ten Desires Demo round personally.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464009

Well the plan is currently for 7:00 PM EST on Fridays, but if enough people want a different time then I could possibly change it.

Also, Sakuya gives me trouble as well, but her stage is nice to get energy flowing. Managed to do better on my second try.

[Anonymous No.]

Ugh, died at the very end. Tried hard mode and blew it. vsync patch would help but I used to be able to do this without it. Nothing from me then.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464011
As long as it's not a score round.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464022
Ah, no it's okay, I guess America NEETs can't be bothered to play earlier.
Was just me~~

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464041

I wonder what would work for Ten Desires. Most people apparently don't care for the score system because it's less fun than playing normally from what I hear.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464065
I don't know. Anything except like max/min graze would require the judge to watch replays.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464080

I was considering something like a survival/item collection hybrid deal, but I'm not sure. Hard/Lunatic difficulties only, whoever gets the furthest wins. For those that beat the demo, the winner is decided by whoever has the most lives and bombs combined left.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

I am reminded why I usually start with Normal.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Apparently she's easier on Hard than Normal? Excepting the last spell card, of course.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Er... are other people going to submit scores? A victory by default is rather lousy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464164

Everyone else quit midway through apparently, I didn't do so hot so I guess you won both rounds. It's just how it is...I guess I'll get the next round ready.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464164
I used up all my tries for EoSD so I'm waiting for the next round. It probably won't turn out any better for me since I'm really shitty at these games but I'm just waiting.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464170
Well that's no fun.

Maybe relax the one try rule? I almost quit myself when I died in the first wave of fairies, though I did get better.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464176

I guess I could make it a three try thing. To tell the truth I died early on my first run as well. You guys okay with that?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464164
I should have warmed up on stage 4 or something first. I can't do EoSD cold apparently.

[Anonymous No.]

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464179
Personally I like the arbitrary number of tries rule. I mean, it's time-limited anyways because of the hour.

[Anonymous No.]

Why not just pick a difficulty and take the best score attained within the hour?

Seems kind of a strange way to go about having a competition, really.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464179
I never understood the one try rule. It DOES make that one try really exciting. But I can't do well on one try on a game I haven't played in 6 months.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464179
Infinite tries sounds better. 1 hour time limit would be enough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464195
It doesn't really allow for one to play for score to the fullest, either. Even high level players playing ... more well recognized shmups will often have runs that quickly end in death, while others end in record scores... It seems a bit odd.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

I kinda wanna suggest a Jamestown competition but that'd probably be over the line.

[Anonymous No.]

Okay then, I guess we'll try it a different way. I went about it that way since that's what I saw being implemented, but since it's discouraging some people I may as well get rid of it.

The name of the game is IN, stage 5.
This is gonna be a score run.
No continues.
This round ends after an hour.

Remember, if you have any suggestions let me know. Have fun.

[Anonymous No.]

What's a good high score for EoSD stage 5, anyway? I have no idea how high this scoring system lets you go if you know what you're doing.

[Anonymous No.]

After 10000 hours of training session I still can't do these games correctly.

Walled at second spell. Forgetting to change to -100% at some PoC.

Shitsux.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Ended up being one try on each anyways...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

[Anonymous No.]

Reisen reminds me of Mephisto.

[Anonymous No.]

Ehh...didn't get the full power bonus for the final noncard and died to Marionette on top of that. Messed up Misdirection too.

>>7464219
Probably around 92M Normal to...160-170M Lunatic? Take those as about the best then base your 'good score' estimations off of that. Watching full runs give some indication since the stages are pretty much apart from each other.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck this. No luck at all, just like fucking always, no matter how much time I waste practicing.

[Anonymous No.]

Mistakes were made, but all spells captured.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I'll join in on the next round since I know any IN run is gonna end dismally for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464209
I was considering posting the same thing on /v/ but I have serious doubt about whether they could handle it, for obvious reasons.

Just mentioning Fighting games or Shmups being played with any goal throws them to the ground

Jamestown isn't that /jp/ related though so I'm not sure...

[Anonymous No.]

Bombed a bit more than usual hoping for points, I have no idea how IN scoring works. I should probably look that up. Anyways, if anyone else wants to take over for the next round that would be great.

[Anonymous No.]

Goddamn tele-mesmerism..

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464338
There was a few score competitions a while back focusing on that MAME shmups pack, but... they were run by VC/SPC, and if you're at all familiar with him you know how that ended.
Quickly and ungracefully.


Though it was fun the few times it actually worked.

[Anonymous No.]

Bit off topic but don't forget STGT is nearing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464359
STGT?

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

So is someone gonna take over?

[Anonymous No.]

Beaten already, but this seems to be my best. Frustrating.

[Anonymous No.]

My best score in the hour. I thought it was too shitty when I first got it so I didn't bother screencaping upon finish, but then I realized I couldn't do any better. The score still fucking sucks, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464313
So, 10 times higher than what I can get. Interesting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464378
You might as well as do it

[Anonymous No.]

Normal Mode Winner>>7464328
Hard Mode Winner >>7464307
Lunatic Mode Winner >>7464290

Anyways, someone take over. Not feeling so good.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464413
Alrighty then, how 'bout this?

Touhou Danmakufu. Evaccania BIEBER: Fever label

Survival/damage run, whoever dies having done the most amount of damage to him is the winner. Post your continue screen like so, and try to have the same pixel size so it's easy to compare.

In the impressive event that you manage to beat it, ties will be broken by score I guess.

Again, we'll be doing Fever Label, since regular version is fairly doable so a survival competition won't be as interesting.

One hour.
Download script here:
http://bulletforge.org/u/chau/p/ketsui-kizuna-jigoku-danmakufu-tlb-evaccania-bieber/v/100

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Couple more points: Feel free to continue, though be sure to take the screenshot before you do since you won't be able to do so afterwards and it won't do you any good.

Try to use a balanced shot type. Maybe the four that come with the game; I'll be using Battler in a fit of narcisissm. If you want to too, you can get it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7sbb3shet536hw7

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Aww hell - never mind, I won't be using Battler since apparently the game crashes when you bomb. Not really sure why, guess I didn't bug test enough...


Anyways, I'll probably be using Reimu B then.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't think you're supposed to be able to bomb in that script? At least, the default Reimu/Marisa types can't. Rumia and Battler can but I'm guessing that's an oversight.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464505
Well, you can sorta bomb, it just doesn't do anything and makes you invincible.

It doesn't do any more or less damage though, his health depletes at a constant rate regardless.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464444
Oh god. I never really bothered with Danmakufu for all these years so this stage was pretty... amazing. I think I'm gonna have more fun with this thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464508

That invincibility makes an incredible difference, as you can see.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464551
Nice. What shot type did you use?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464558

Battler. Without bombs I can't even get to a quarter depleted, so I'm guessing they're not supposed to be accessible.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464562
Hm, was the focused bomb not crashing your game? I must've messed something up in my personal copy after I uploaded it...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Anyways, here's this using Reimu B. Juust barely into the third stage.

[Anonymous No.]

So, will there be another round, preferably a one of the Touhou games?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464616
Aw, but Danmakufu even has Touhou in the title...
But yeah, if you want to host a round, go right ahead. I'll probably have to think about what to do next for a while anyways.

In any case, >>7464551 appears to be the winner for any shot type, and >>7464596 for the shot types that were apparently changed to fit with the script. Seems like a slow turnout today compared to other days...
I should ask though, how are my challenges? Too outlandish? I've been trying to go for strange little interesting things that aren't standard score runs, but I'm not sure how well it's being received.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464628
I really wish Jamestown had LAN or other multiplayer, multiplayer score run would be amazing with /jp/

I don't know much about other Danmaku type games, are there any with Co-op? Could be an interesting twist on the challenge

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464654
Hnngh, I knooow. Online co-op would be amazing, especially since I have a ton of people on both /v/ and /jp/ who would enjoy it way more than anyone I know in real life.
As far as other multiplayer danmaku games go, pretty much any arcade game has at least two-player co-op. I don't think they work particularly well over the internet, though I haven't really tried.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464628
You're ideas are creative, I guess, and fun for some. But some just prefer regular old Touhou action. The turnout rate is low today, maybe it's just today, or maybe not everyone's doing good. I myself have participated in all of the rounds today but had shitty luck, like usual, so I didn't bother posting my scores much. Other may have done that as well. I don't know why it's empty today. ;_;

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I'll do a round

SA stage 5
Highest score wins, all characters, one try only.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7464685
until 23:00

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Ugh, I thought I hit printscrn but apparently I didn't.

What I remember of my score was 7504somethingsomething...

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Ugh Rin is harder than I remember her being. Can't believe I fucked up spleen eater.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Aha, there we go. Apparently I slightly misremembered.

This was on Hard, if it doesn't say so in the screenshot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464743
How long have you been playing shmups, if you don't mind me asking? You can shit on any level in any Touhou/non-Touhou game apparently. I want to know if I still have a long way to go...

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I guess just two entries.. gonna go eat dinner but i'll host some more rounds when I'm back if you guys are still going.

[Anonymous No.]

Slowpoke, but can you guys really not do IN Stage 5 on Hard? I've only been playing Touhou for a few months, but INS5 is noticeably easier than at least S4, and barely anything changes between Normal and Hard... at least as far as I remember, I haven't been playing Normal lately.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464758
Oh nah man, >>7464313 way way outclasses me. I've only done one Lunatic 1cc ever, and most non-Touhou games are out of my reach, though perhaps more because I don't play them as often.

Anyways, in regards to your question, I really only started playing seriously with the release of Fairy Wars. I'd played PCB maybe 5 times before that, but 12.8 was pretty much when I really started.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464787
>most non-Touhou games are out of my reach,

Get Ketsui Death Label or Crimzon Clover. Learn to dodge speedy bullets kamikaze-like. And then laugh at the slow-as-molasses Touhou bullets.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464780
IN5 is easier than IN4, but it's still fucking impossible to beat it without dying for me (on hard). I've been playing IN exclusively for the past 6 months and the games for about a year now. Haven't 1cc'd any of them, but I guess it's different for everyone. Some people are just naturally good at keeping track of multiple patterns at once.

>>7464787
Oh, damn. I must still be doing something wrong. ;_;

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464780
IN is one the hardest Touhous for me

I have no idea why, but I can't get anything done in it, the hardest for me is definitely UFO or SA though, followed by IN

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7464814
I have both, they're incredible. Haven't yet 1cc'd them of course.
I got SO CLOSE on Simple in CC not too long ago. Haven't given it very many tries else I would've cleared it easy, but nnngh.
So I beat the final boss with zero lives left. Oh man that's awesome! Oh hi there TLB, guess I won't be 1cc'ing this.
WHAM BAM NO-MISS THE TLB
And just as I shout in triumph, the second form of the TLB kills me. whyyyyy

Though I guess I'm getting off-topic here.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Okay I'm back, would anyone be down for a bit more touhou? (I'm thinking some Ten Desires) Or youmu can take over if you guys want to play other stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7464991
Ten Desires sounds good.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Ten Desires

Scoring round, full game, normal mode

You can start over as many times as you want but you have to post your first completed run

Let's reconvene at 1:00

[Anonymous No.]

I just beat my Crimzon Clover original mode highscore by about 14 billion points... not sure how I feel about that, considering that I lost the 4 lives that I would have used to get to the TLB ALL on the third boss, and died on the first lifebar of the last boss, when what I was trying to do was get to the second phase of the TLB. I just want to 1cc the damned thing.

Quick question

is there a non-bullshit way to collect those blue spirits that hover at the top of the screen without putting yourself in stupid amounts of danger?

I enjoyed the UFOs, they at least travelled about the screen's entirety.

Those blue fuckers though exist only to piss--me--off by hiding in the one location where traveling is most dangersous, and then having the gall to degenerate over time.

Bull fucking horse shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465014
And thinking about how terribly I did on the third boss distracted me and made me lose another life really carelessly on the 4th stage. So that's about half of my lives down all because of the third boss. God damn. Other than that and a careless death at the start of the third stage, I did the first four stages really well, not dying anywhere else and apparently scoring better than ever.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Extending time limit to 1:15 because I can't remember how to TD for the life of me.

>>7465028
Do you mean the ones during stage 2? More or less though I think you just have to risk it. I did two run throughs and didn't even get to stage 2 because I kept running into fairies/bullets..

[Anonymous No.]

Did my run, involved a bit of dying on purpose and it got me a better score...I might have done better if Yoshika's first spellcard wasn't nearly impossible to capture with Youmu. But such is life. I wonder if Youmu can even capture it on harder difficulties.

[Anonymous No.]

Totally not related but I just got my first 3CC of EoSD.

Time to install PCB.

[Anonymous No.]

TD is easy, but I keep dying over stupid shit.

[Anonymous No.]

had a better runs this morning

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I should really try to actually clear Yoshika's cards instead of just bombing/trancing through them.

also am I the only one for whom the regular screencapping doesn't work on TD?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

This is rather off-topic, but would anyone happen to have something for CrimzonClover that unlocks everything in the shop? Ordinarily I wouldn't mind hitting up a few games, but it has the incredibly irritating property that if you exit the game with anything other than hitting the Exit button on the main screen it doesn't save any of your points...

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465077

That's just for you, Youmu.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465089
Wot, really? Like, if you hit escape it'll still save? If it CTDs it'll still save? Argh...

[Anonymous No.]

I only did one try. Not 100% on the Ten Desires mechanics either but whatever.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

someone want to take over for the next round?

[Anonymous No.]

Anyone up for IN extra mode?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465075
That score's impressive, who did you use?

Ten Desires is one my favorites just because all the shot types are so awesome.

Even Sanae.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465112
Sure. Score? Survival?

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I guess that's it. I'm down to play more if someone wants to host.

>>7465128
thanks, it was reimu. I'm guessing someone must have gotten over 100M though, any replays?

I can never get used to any other shot types, although my first time clearing stage 3 on TD was with sanae. I find that the other shots are too flashy to boss-graze safely.
anyone figure out a good way to use Youmu's focused shot?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465131
Score, any character/team. End at 02:00.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465142
Well, I can't extra for shit, but I'll have a go.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7465139
I'm hardly 100% on this but I think I saw a video of someone using Youmu on Easy and getting like nearly 200 or 150 or something insane

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

haha ran out on fujiyama volcano. i guess i'll spell practice a bit first.


>>7465166
oh man, anyone have this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465146
Oh wow.
That's the furthest I've ever gotten with Mokou.

I am proud even in loss.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

I think I'm gonna cry. The best stage and Keine I've ever done in my entire life, it was perfect. The only way it could've been better is not bombing on that final evil fairy.

AND THEN
The worst worst Mokou I've done in a very long time. So many stupid spellcard bombs...
"Oh, at least I captured Possessed by Phoenix!" NOPE, 00 second bomb. Didn't even get Imperishable Shooting despite capturing all 3 of Keine's cards.

Though I did capture Hourai Doll, I guess.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Ahh, and now I feel bad for complaining even though I still beat the stage.
I'm just gonna go to bed...

Haha, it's not rude. It's just amazing. I would love to have your skill. ;_;
Mind posting your IN stats, please?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465218
I'm giving the Extra another go, but once I get out sure.

I did reset them a while back, since I had the leftover .dat from someone else and I got tired of seeing their stats on all the spellcards, so it'll be a little inflated/seem a little low, depending on how you look at it.

[Anonymous No.]

Welp, I set a new high score for Mokou... though I'm not sure this is any good by comparison. Lucky for me I somewhat recently went on a training rampage just to get myself to BEAT her (default highscore name is still YESSSSs from the first time I finally did it, haha), so I still remembered how to do most of the cards pretty well. Still managed to not capture Fujiyama Volcano or Possessed by Phoenix, which is particularly frustrating because I was so damn close to either and made tiny mistakes towards the end of each that forced me to bomb....I find those two to be particularly satisfying to get, too.

Forgot to screenshot immediately after winning, so I cropped the rest of the scores because they are all earlier attempts and would only serve to embarrass me.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Well that went south rather quickly.

What in particular did you want to see?

[Anonymous No.]

Youmu, I don't know how you managed to do so good, honestly. I don't think I've ever ever managed to beat IN Extra with more than one life leftover, and there you have two... not to mention a high score much higher than mine. I am jealous that you don't suck at these games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465232
I just wanted to see how much practice it takes to be near your level, so I could judge how much progress I have made. But judging from your stats, I guess practice doesn't really matter, it's either you're naturally good at it or not... How long ago did you reset your stats, though? Do you play this game a lot, specifically?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465246
I don't recall when exactly I did it, but I'd say I played it for maybe a little bit longer before I did that than after I did that. I know I'd gotten my Hard 1ccs down fairly well, but pretty much the entirety of my Lunatic attempts towards a 1cc were afterwards. I'd also cleared all of the Last Words besides Reimu's and Yukari's.

And yeah, I'd say Imperishable Night may be the game I've played the most. It's certainly the one I've accomplished the most in, since I've captured every card (gotta love spellcard practice) and beaten IN, both things I've not gotten very close to on any other game.

I would say though, that practice very much does matter. I started out terrible at these games, I could only just barely clear PCB using the full 5 continues with 5 lives. One look at my SA Extra stats will tell you it did not come naturally or easily... Esoterica "Nine Syllable Stabs" 87/119 by the time I finally cleared it, and that's not even counting the vast number of times I restarted the stage without even making it to Sanae.

surprised i even managed to clear it.

Mokou has a fun stage.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465266
Ahh. I started out really bad and after 4409 total rounds in IN, am still below-average. I guess it's just something wrong with me... ;_;

Oh well, good games. Whoever wants to can pick up the next round.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7465266

This is interesting, makes me realize how much I need to practice. I don't play very often, so it usually takes me a long time to 1cc a game, but it takes relatively few tries in comparison to what I expect.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Now that I'm in the mood, how about PCB extra? Or would you guys prefer a stage?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465305
Anything is fine with me. I'll probably only have time for one solid run before I actually get to bed though.

High score run
post your first complete run

Until 03:00

time for blue oni red oni

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465329
Do it exactly like you do Ran's version in Phantasm.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7465337
Oh shit you can do it like that? For some reason I've always done it vertically.. that makes life much easier.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465402
Yep. You gotta hug the bottom more, but you definitely can do it horizontal.
I usually start right under chen and stream down for the first wave for max damage, then just glide left and right.


Also this was a headache-inducing amalgam of doing things more brilliantly than I'd ever done before, and incredibly dumb mistakes. I got killed by the blue not-swastika.... Sigh.

[Anonymous No.]

Gah, I'm too tired and tipsy to do this well. Can't seem to get past Ran's first few spells. Keep screwing up the timing of my bombs and dying stupidly...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7465453
I know how you mean, man. I think I died more times than I remembered to bomb in my run...

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

That's it for me.. maybe we'll have more players tomorrow

[Anonymous No.]

Submitting for the hell of it because I like both these games (and someone asked for 100M+). A bit sore for practice.

Died to the poor survival spell within 30 seconds of it starting because I forgot my pattern and stayed behind too long. Border broke Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser as well, probably from colliding with Ran.

next round: UFO lunatic stage 4 scorerun

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Out of curiosity, the last week we had a second go-around on Saturday. Is that gonna be part of the convention, or will this just be a Friday thing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468554

It depends I guess. Keep it going as long as we can. Wasn't feeling so good so I didn't do anything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468554
This shouldn't be on set dates, in my opinion. Just start up a round whenever you want, and someone might join in, I think.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468565

Perhaps not. I picked the time specifically because I thought it would get the most people playing but I'm not completely sure. As long as we can start having these sorts of threads again without them dying early then it's okay by me.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468565
It helps if it's fairly regular, so everyone can know when a competition is going on and not miss it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468574
If a thread dedicated to it is constantly alive, or often, then it's pretty regular...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468595
Yeah, but there's not nearly enough interest to have a game going every hour of the day, and if it's up off and on sporadically it'll be hard to get everyone all together at the same time.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Ooh, I know. What if we have the more standard score runs on Friday, and more inventive stuff (like most of what I've tried) on Saturday? I mean, it doesn't have to be strictly like that or anything, just have those be the general trends.
I have one in mind right now if we want to give it a shot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468638
Go for it. I am always here. (the shitty player)

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468642
Haha, alright.

Okay, this is rather self-indulgent here but I really like this matchup, so please forgive me.

Imperishable Night, Youmu versus Youmu. This will be a max graze run on Paschal Moon-Reflecting Satellite Slash (Youmu's Last Word) using solo-Youmu as the player character. Whoever ends with the most number of grazes wins. If you don't clear the card you can still submit your attempt, but I guess I'll dock it to maybe 80% of the grazes stated.
1 hour as standard, and as many attempts as you see fit.

And even if you do absolutely terribly, I still wanna see what you did. This isn't a competition only for people who are good at the game, anything at all is fine. I just don't wanna see two finished runs posted and as many or more people say they didn't post theirs since it wasn't good enough.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Oh, and if you don't have solo characters or Youmu's Last Word unlocked, I can upload my score.dat on request.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468653

Huh, I've never even unlocked any Last Words. Maybe I should work on that sometime.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468653
Allright I'll give it a go. It will be my first time up against that Last Word and one of the few times I use Youmu but let's see how it goes...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Everything's unlocked, but do be sure to back up yours so you can have the very fun times of clearing everything in Spell Card Practice too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468666

May as well. I won't participate in this one though, I really really dislike how Youmu controls.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468656
I haven't played anything but EOSD since I've reformatted and lost everything by accident, I'd appreciate it

I never had Youmu's last word and I really question my ability to do it, but I'll give it a try

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468666
Can't download, server timeout... Am I the only one?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468676
Same problem. A pity.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468680
>>7468676
Try this one.

And on second thought, I'll make the penalty for a non-cleared run only 90%.... this is more difficult than I remembered.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468684
Why isn't the penalty just the fact that you didn't survive long enough to graze as much as you could have grazed?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468684
This... is suppose to be doable?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468687
Oh yeah, good point.
Alrighty, no penalty then.

>>7468705
Well, you don't have to clear it, just graze it a lot. Hurtling up and down columns recklessly-like. Don't worry if you're not doing that well, I think my first clear of this card was at like the 110th attempt or so.

Here's my best so far, at any rate.

[Anonymous No.]

I keep dying 10 seconds in... still trying.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Keep getting body tackled by her on the way back up as I sprint along, argh.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468753
I think 3/4 of my deaths are to her herself

This is best one so far, I doubt it'll get much better then this though.

I'm trying to balance doing these challenges with watching Revelations Stream...

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

I hate to post such a small one-up, but this is probably the best I can get...

[Anonymous No.]

I doubt I'll get anything better.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

I guess I'll extend the time a few minutes since it took a while to upload the .dat.

[Anonymous No.]

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Nobody else? I'll say 5 minutes from this is the cutoff.


Was this competition too hard? I always feel like I misjudge these things. Like that one DS one where I forgot you didn't have to take pictures of the boss, sigh...
I don't really like to playtest them first though, since that'd give me a bit of an unfair advantage. What do you think?

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>7468848
I enjoyed it. Sure, it was difficult, but it wasn't boring. Gave me practice in something I rarely do, Last Words. You can start another round if you want, hopefully Touhou related (preferably IN).

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7468842
Apparently you did get something better, dayum. Happen to save a replay of that?

In any case, that's definitely the winner. I don't have anything else planned for a second run, and if my past record has anything to say I shouldn't come up with things on the spot like this. Thanks to everyone who humored my Youmu vs Youmu shenanigans.
...Oh boo, duplicate file on youmu-darkyoumu.jpg, so I guess this'll have to do.

>>7468857
Eh, I can't really think of anything at the moment. Anyone else want to do one?

[Anonymous No.]

I suck, I barely can pass the 100. Besides I think I havent captured that Last Word, it completely blinds me when it goes all white.

[Anonymous No.]

Okay, how about an easy one:
IN, Stage 1
Graze run
No deaths/bombs
Any character
1 hour

[Anonymous No.]

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Gonna try to unclear all the last words after seeing this. Goddamn IN is impossible with MAlice.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

more difficult than i thought.
