1M to DR I just wanted my chill bi-weekly clear but I'll take it. Was hoping for an LNN there but DR is DR, I haven't practiced it in a long time so I was doing it in a weird way.
I'm pretty close to 1cc'ing MoF, I just gotta practice Aya's spell cards so she doesn't drain all of my lives before the last two stages.

>>50988325 You'll get used to it, it takes a while. One thing that I can recommend is using the gohei attack (x) more than the ofuda one against the yin yang ball.
I just impregnated Suwako and did it again on the runback because I forgot to save the replay the first time. Suwako's definitely the most fun extra boss I've fought so far desu and Marisa C is really fun when you're replaying the stage a bunch because there's a lot of neat tricks you can do. I spent most of the stage hugging the top for points with the frost shooters positioned to farm the enemies. The two revives from farming points carried me because I always end up having to bomb spam through her timeout attacks and I refuse to actually learn how to dodge jellybeans. The ring spellcard is probably my favorite because there's a lot of large movements and forward planning to avoid getting walled in. I mostly wanted to beat her because I was playing fantasy maiden wars and she was really sexy in it. If she were a stage 1 boss it wouldn't have taken as long.
>>50988325 just wait until you get to this bitch lol

hard or extra first?

>>50995810 Depends on the game. But in general I'd say they're about even in terms of difficulty. Though lot of EXs have pretty bullshit stages so hard might be slightly better. Honestly just try them and see which feels more manageable.
finally got my first 1cc, and just a few days ago i was thinking i would never be able to do it

>>50988895 You can recreate it yourself to some extent. If the tabber doesn't work then View history and pick one which works https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_1 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_2 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_3 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_4 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_5 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object/Spell_Cards/Stage_6
>>50995810 Personally would suggest Normal then Extra then Hard. Extra is approximately Hard difficulty or slightly below it in most cases, but it's only a single stage and boss. On the other hand, Hard means playing the original six stages and bosses but at a higher difficulty. I found doing the Extra clears back-to-back really helped with preparing me to take on the Hard clears.
I have been lurking for a while and why do I never see th20 in 1cc charts like >>50998133 ? It is the only one I haven't played

>>51000874 the tracker i use just hasn't been updated in years, but there's a fork that i found that adds FW https://drneotech.github.io/1ccTracker/ i've seen another anon with a similar chart, but with some additions such as fangames. no clue about that
>>51001255 wow this is very advanced! I still remember when the og anon posted the first version of this template, wonder how many people improved it over time
>>51000874 The thing about FW is that since you've technically got 8x8x8x8=4096 different combinations for each of the two characters, a "proper" chart needs 8192 columns to cover them all. That means it's up to the player to choose what the chart should be about. The FW chart at >>51001255 only cares about the main stone, which is fair, but mine goes a little further and only cares about the stories, similarly to the UM chart which only has one column per character despite the ability cards providing thousands of different "shot types". The columns are combined for each of the four color pairs, and split back for the extra stages.
>>51001429 You must be pretty new, anon. That's fine, have an example some anon posted a while ago.

>>51001442 Be the change then, anon, feel free to post yours. Although do consider that the point of a chart isn't showing off but just tracking your own progress, so it's normal for people who can't beat everything to make them and post them. They serve to inspire people on a similar skill level and sometimes as a conversation starter.

I used to have a chart but I got burned out and quit playing the games because I was forcing myself to lunatic 1cc with every shot. somehow I went through HSiFS but I almost fell asleep playing UDoALG

>>51001635 That sounds rough. Sometimes it's better to take a step back and play something easier but challenging enough for it to be fun. After all, fun is the only point in playing these games.
>>51001635 allshotting is very fun if you like the game but all it takes is just one that you don't enjoy to burn you out i personally hated doing it in SA

>>51001639 >Sometimes it's better to take a step back and play something easier but challenging enough for it to be fun. the problem for me is that the games were too easy since I was pretty much getting it on my first try. I got every hard shot cleared except PoDD since I was playing in order it doesnt help that I was really excited for a new phantasmagoria game only it to be shit

>>51001649 Yeah, UDoALG was a pretty big letdown for me too as a vs game lover. That aside, have you tried something in between hard and lunatic, like hard NB? It might be the spark you need to find the games fun again.

>>51000874 >>51001288 I'm not aware of anyone making a pure template, but you can easily copy and restructure HSiFS's chart into a FW one, if you're going for clears with all main stones that is. That's what I did with mine.
