I was only 3.8m ahead going into Stage 9, but I also had 4 lives less, meaning I should've been ahead by far more.

This was actually not as impossible as I expected. Nazrin's Level 3 is actually surprisingly good at exploiting the AI. Basically for the same reason they're broken in PoDD - this being that they get walled by large objects they lack the proper foresight for. One thing to mention about VS Mode is that here you do actually need the AI to take enough hits. Killing a certain number of bosses isn't a win condition in this mode. The AI will have to take unintentional hits for you to win, basically. The match against Marisa was by far the hardest, but I actually somehow got her to take hits from spirits only, which was very lucky. Meanwhile I believe my match against Aunn took just one attempt and the rest also took much much less time than Marisa. 0:00 Aunn 2:03 Nazrin 5:20 Reimu 8:59 Seiran 11:50 Marisa yt:video:xEKlN5fhobQ xEKlN5fhobQ UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-05-08T23:19:08+00:00 2023-06-14T18:54:01+00:00 東方獣王園 ～ Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost (Demo) - Lunatic No Focus No Bomb No Hit (Reimu) I learned of how broken Reimu's Level 2 is and it essentially turning the game into PoFV Scoring. Giving you alot of gauge back to use it over and over while spawning tons of bullets for you to reflect again. For this run it's a great defensive option although it doesn't remove EX attacks and you're not invulnerable during it and it can also quick kill bosses when pointblanked. Playing this way definitely yields funny moments like these screenshots below demonstrate: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/386171179758649344/1105246287709884566/SPOILER_image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/386171179758649344/1105246288288690267/SPOILER_image.png Sadly this madness wasn't really present in this run very much, but I'm not gonna do another run to show it off or anything. yt:video:tFMhvEA25jI tFMhvEA25jI UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-05-08T23:18:24+00:00 2023-06-10T16:24:23+00:00 東方獣王園 ～ Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost (Demo) - Lunatic No Focus No Bomb (Nazrin) It took a little while but I finally managed to get a No Bomb run in addition to No Focus. No Hit doing on top of that would be way too hard for me. Seiran in this game gets insanely hard at high rank and it's not something Nazrin can really deal with. I basically just had to get lucky. At the end of the match I still hadn't taken a hit so I was able to tank through the high rank boss. yt:video:o2SClA0Kk7s o2SClA0Kk7s UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-05-07T18:15:21+00:00 2023-06-13T17:56:14+00:00 東方獣王園 ～ Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost (Demo) - Lunatic No Focus 1cc (Nazrin) The game is a bit better than I expected, but it does still have a ton of technical problems I've run into. This is also why this footage here is recorded at half of my usual bitrate. I was expecting the game to lag alot like it did in 100BM. Nazrin could be one of, if not one of the hardest characters to clear as of right now. I tried to 1cc Lunatic with Nazrin without using focused speed, as using this movespeed makes her move almost 4 times slower (equal to Charge Speed in StB and DS) and that's really bad for a game where slow movespeed is discouraged. She's also difficult because most credits will encounter Reimu in Stage 1 or 2, who I think is the hardest opponent in the game. There is no noticable limit to how many Yin-Yang Orbs can be on screen. I've ran into several situations where I got (close to) completely walled by them. I'll probably write up somewhere what my final thoughts of the game are someplace else once I've collected my thoughts on it. The game is okay so far, but there are alot of things that could prove very detrimental to the replay value. This may turn into another game where you play and mess around for a few days and then never play it again, if certain features currently absent stay absent. yt:video:Cd0NDEyrnrM Cd0NDEyrnrM UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-04-22T23:05:59+00:00 2023-06-09T16:43:50+00:00 東方夢時空 ～ Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dream - Lunatic Yumemi 117,724,220 Shottype Record: 22/04/2023 After a month of grinding this (and despite 2 years of not playing Lunatic) I was able to get a huge PB. This category is really nasty given the score variance is huge with Yumemi. Opponents also love to be very uncooperative and die immediately or they'll wreck you. I've been struggling alot with the final three opponents. Yumemi lasted 4:29 this time which is a long time. Thankfully I was lucky with my survival this time. Even while playing safe that was still a good round. I've had another run a few sessions before this one that had the same score into Stage 9 (103m) where Yumemi died in less than 2 minutes and only got 107m as my final score. A 4m round compared to this being a 14m round should say something about said variance. It can be very frustrating. There's nothing you can do about this. You generally just have to hope your boss Yumemi doesn't do the cross attack alot, since the AI gets hit by that 80-90% of the time. yt:video:n2J0fEsh3SY n2J0fEsh3SY UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-03-30T22:25:50+00:00 2023-06-08T20:07:35+00:00 東方夢時空 ～ Phantasmagoria of Dimensional Dream - Lunatic Yumemi 109,349,440 Personal Best / Shottype Record: 30/03/2023 Former PB / Shottype Record: 22/04/2023 I've come back to a bit more podding on Lunatic. The last time I did was when I got the immensely strong 122m with Reimu. This was the only shot I wasn't really happy with yet, but it's also a very luckbased category. This run started off very strong in the earlygame, even with a death in Stage 5. Unfortunately the last Chiyuri and Yumemi round scored poorly because the rounds ended far too early. Even if Yumemi just survived maybe 10 seconds longer, I could've gotten 110m. Obviously even more could've been obtained if the unfortunate luck and somewhat poor performance on the other late game rounds weren't there. I will try some more to get 110m. yt:video:59HcxfC6KdI 59HcxfC6KdI UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw KirbyComment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZ07KKLFIJp4bNGgjNLsIw 2023-03-17T11:44:49+00:00 2023-06-13T02:35:07+00:00 東方封魔録 ～ Highly Responsive to Prayers TAS - Lunatic No Movement (Makai) Rerecord count: 6,477 This is a new improved version of the Makai TAS I did earlier. I changed the VSync setting on Neko Project so that the immense bullet flickering is no longer present, so you get to see the actual flicker improvements from the Anniversary Edition. As mentioned in the old video, you only get access to shooting amulets and swiping away the ball or bullets when doing a No Movement run. The old run finished with a 12 Miss 13 Bomb. This new run ends with a 7 Miss 9 Bomb clear. I did find a way to get the panels in the very top corners during the Jigoku TAS, but the one stage that had a panel positioned in this way (Stage 16), had a bumper in the way, so it still had to be bombed. The larger amount of rerecords were mainly due to spending alot of time manipulating teleporter RNG in Stage 8 to maximize score. In Stage 19 I also spent alot of extra rerecords to make sure that Sariel's lasers didn't kill me, she didn't switch phases quickly and her phase 1 bird pattern wasn't the aimed pattern.

I managed to make some improvements to the first five stages, going from 4 Miss 2 Bomb to 1 Miss 2 Bomb. Another resource improvement is that I managed to make the very top-corner panels just barely hittable without having to bomb, but only with the swipe move. The ball has to be at a very specific height and the ball needs to be hit as early as possible. The only stage where there was an unhittable panel here was Stage 16. This run ends with a resource use of 4 Miss 6 Bomb. During this run I enabled the Disp vsync option in Neko Project, as having it disabled was causing immense flicker during the Makai run. Thank you to Nmlgc for pointing that out. This run is also running a bugfixed patch of the Anniversary Edition, as the first iteration of this patch caused graphical bugs during the TLB phase of Sariel's fight that weren't in the original game, though these graphical bugs weren't really visible during the Makai run. With the above fixes, I will now redo my Makai TAS. I can get a No Movement clear with less resources spent and also make the footage look cleaner by applying the aforementioned fixes.

This TAS is outdated. The new improved TAS can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59HcxfC6KdI Rerecord count: 3,559 When doing No Movement, you only get access to shooting amulets and swiping away the ball or bullets. Nobody has done this in real-time yet but I do believe it's possible. This TAS could have probably spent a little less resources, but there are points where I'm forced to die because of too many bullets coming at me from an angle or because the panels in a stage are unreachable without bombing. I played this TAS back on the first Anniversary Edition, released by ReC98 on 5 March 2023 in celebration of this game being fully reverse-engineered. Unfortunately this patch doesn't fully function on Neko Project which I had to use to make and play back the TAS. There are points where there's alot of bullet flickering, perhaps even more than the original. Perhaps once I figure out how to fix that or a more updated Neko Project comes out, I may re-upload this one. I will probably make a TAS of the Jigoku route soon.
