Touhou 04: Lotus Land Story - Perfect Lunatic 1cc (No Miss, No Bomb) - MarisaA 

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, that 1MNB run was a victim of janky hitboxes. I'm glad it didn't happen again, I'd be quite mad lol

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, both Stage 4 midbosses and rings are by far the worst parts of the game, it took quite a bit of research, planning and practice to make them less impossible. I managed to get pretty ok at both midbosses, so my last attempts were mostly about bruteforcing my way past rings

Yeah, LLS is alright, it's hard for me to compare it to HRtP or PoDD, but it's a huge improvement over SoEW for sure. LLS deserves credit for introducing core mechanics to the series like focusing and deathbombing and it started the trend of Stage 4 bosses having some gimmick often influenced by your chosen shottype, also the first game in the series with 6 stage formula (SoEW had only 5). Yeah, the game can get pretty fast at times, but it also gets easier after you die, because this game has adaptive difficulty, but even if you are stuck at high rank, fast aimed bullets can be made much more managable by tapping in one direction, most of the time either left or right although vertical streaming is also useful sometimes. This way no matter how fast these bullets are, they will 100% miss you, unless you were streaming too slow. Personally I think LLS is worth playing even despite its age, the only roadblock being emulation itself, especially with exactly LLS, cause if your emulator isn't configured properly the game at best have too much slowdown, and at worst, crash at certain points like Stage 5 boss if you're playing as Reimu. Also some requirements need to be fulfiled in order to access Stage 6, you need to be playing on at least Normal and not use any continues, otherwise the game will just end after Stage 5 boss. Have fun with Mystic Square, it's my personal favourite from PC-98 games

Thanks! Yup, rest in peace LLS survival. S5 rings won't be missed

Thanks!

I watched the VOD a few days ago. I didn't expect HRtP would be LNN'd anytime soon but I was pleasantly surprised

@@Oringiri HRtP is literally built differently compared to other games. The game gives you extra lives so often, it is one of the easiest Lunatic 1ccs once you know how to manage the resources game gives you. So of course without that luxury, the game becomes noticeably harder. Elis with her RNG bullshit becomes that much harder when you can't just bomb the worst patterns. ...oh yeah also no dedicated bomb button. I love bombing when there is nothing on screen worth bombing orz. I have heard one of the runs died exactly to that kind of shit.

the other route seems to be even worse for No Bomb runs since Kikuri's opener is brutally difficult especially on high rank. Yeah, bombing in HRtP is needlessly complicated imo, one of possible combinations if I remember correctly is left, right and z so you can easily do it by accident

Thanks! Slot machines are no more

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Other than the 3 most known ones (both S4 midbosses and S5 rings) I'd say Reimu's first yinyang attack can be pretty scary, most notably because they don't despawn between patterns and that can easily mess you up.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks!

@@Oringiri You're welcome! I'm still bad at these games......

Thanks! I can't wait to lose runs because Reimu just randomly used a bomb

I got a specific build of Neko Project with a better fullscreen support I believe

Yes, it does increase over time, but how quickly it does is tied to amount of extra lives, so less lives = slower rank growth. There's a few reasons why I was avoiding items. Less points leads to less lives, but also every single point item I drop decreases rank a little. Similar story with power items. While dropping them does nothing to rank, collecting them only affects rank while in full power, so I want to reach that point as late as possible and to be more specific, until I pass Stage 5 rings, then I don't have to worry about rank anymore, the rest of the game is pretty straighforward

RIP LLS. I'm not sure, but If you mean s3 midboss, then yeah, that cancel was poorly timed and got an extend a bit too early

Nah the joke is that I share my name with the boss lmao I'm dead along with the game

@@Iris_Descent Oh, sorry for killing you

Thanks! I got my first 1MNB run back in May 2020, so It took me almost 2 years to get this run. Of course I wasn't grinding regularly, but it's still pretty crazy.

@@Oringiri I didn't realise it's been that long since the 1MNB... I certainly wouldn't have been able to keep up the motivation for 2 years, which makes this run even more impressive!

Thanks!

A lot of planning, countless attempts and a bit of luck in late game basically

Thanks!

PC-98 games are significantly less popular than Windows ones + LLS LNN is not a fun category to grind, it's mostly about surviving both Stage 4 midbosses and then winning the rings of death lottery right before Stage 5 Yuuka

@@Oringiri i see

Kurumi never needed extend cancels, only one Hikariko/Rengeteki/whatever s4 midboss's name is since unfortunately it was impossible to cancel both and RoD, but yeah, pretty much. In theory the idea was great, but in practice, while still possible, there was no room for error, one slight route mistake and It was over. I could still get Extend Cancel on rings with my route, but yeah, because of bad cancel on Stage 3 midboss I completely missed it

Thank you! As long as you credit me and put the link to the original upload in the description, then sure, I don't see any problem

Thanks! Yes, there's few benefits from doing these actions. Timing out any last pattern of any boss decreases rank a little, it's only viable on Orange unfortunately. Kurumi's last pattern is pretty difficult and Elly's takes too long. Timing out midboss Kurumi was to not get any points from bullet cancel. Getting extra lives increases rank, so my goal was to either get them as late as possible since getting lives from score is pretty much unavoidable or don't get them at all if it's from the pickup, like these dropped from some midbosses. Goal of avoiding some of power items was to delay getting full power before Stage 5 boss. While not a full, you don't get any rank from them and MarisaA's damage is super good regardless. After Stage 5 rings there's no major run killers and I don't need to lower rank anymore so I can reach full power and grab anything I can without worrying too much. Yup, both S4 midbosses were done according to route. I could kill them faster, but I wanted to get the smallest bullet cancel from them I could, just like with Kurumi, only I couldn't time them down fully because I didn't want to dodge that ridiculous spam more than once per midboss.

@@Oringiri Thank you, this is very informative, it makes me appreciate all the little nuances that are part of this game's routing.

I had 1CCed lunatic of this game, but I somehow missed the rank mechanics being a thing and only just learned about them through this comment. That would probably have helped and be fun to route (; - ; ) At least now there is this video to help all future lunatic clears.

Thanks! I might consider going for the full LLS LNN sweep in the future, but for now I'm mostly focused on scoring SA

Anyways, G fucking G, I searched for this for a while and never found it until now, am glad this exists, fantastic job

Thanks!

I'll give it a try soon

good job

Now do the same thing but with one extra condition, no slowed down gameplay, please

@@Oringiri Sadly I'll Stop Doing "No Slow Focus" Challenge in Touhou 7 Because I Really Need The Slow Button on that Game!!...No Slow Focus Will Included only in Touhou 4 to 6!

I'd rather like to see you dropping "slowed down gameplay" "challenge" in every future run. It's obvious right off the bat that you don't play at the default speed and everyone already knows about this. The best course of action right now would be just coming clean. Playing at slower speed than intended is considered cheating and hiding this fact makes you look dishonest. I really like seeing players conquering various challenges in games, but until you change your ways or at least mark your videos properly, unfortunately I'm not interested in watching your content.

@@Oringiri Hey It's Rude to Call me Cheater! I Promise I Didn't Do Some Kind of Cheating, Slowdown Speed or Something Like That I Try to Beat Each Touhou Game Without Cheating at All And Also I Don't Really Like Cheating for Just Beating The Game Without Dying...Practicing is The Only Option to Help me Beating Touhou Games!!

I'm not rude, I'm completely honest with you and I'd like you to be honest with me as well. Just as I stated before, everyone already knows that your runs aren't legitimate and It's really easy to tell whether a run is valid or not. Considering these 2 facts you're not losing anything by admiting to guilt.

Thanks!

Thanks!
