raocow's talkhaus

My specialty is with the Blues version souls, but I'll try and do this with Knightman as an example. When you sacrifice a breaking chip for your soul unison, you get Knight Soul. If you were to sacrifice a chip that is both Dark and Breaking (the only one is Dark Drill), you'll get Chaos Knight ins...

I now have a 1CC of Subterranean Animism under my belt. It's on Easy with Marisa/Nitori, but it's still a 1CC. Now to start working towards one for Marisa/Patchouli. I had quite a few moments where I missed having Wood's oblique shots at my disposal.

Wait, we're seriously using AXST as the name for that project?

I've been playing SA a bit more than I had in the past. I think Marisa-B Green is my favorite shot type. EDIT: Got a 1CC yesterday with Marisa-C. Now to practice on Marisa-B. It just sucks that my computer plays the game at just above half speed, since I know I won't be able to do it the way I did a...

He'd never leave Talkhaus hanging

(I'm sorry, I just had to do that)

Seriously though, it'd be interesting to see if a flash animation made in ten seconds would be above average.

"An Extra Super Thing: AXST"

Playing through the N64 Zelda games again, both with and without cheats. I'll have to give Master Quest a fair, cheat-free run once I learn the revised layouts (since I'm playing this one on Project64, which comes preloaded with cheats, I may as well use my starting run to explore)

"An Extra Mario Thing"

Well, I'm not sure if I should be happy or not that one of my old standby's for Akinator has once again fallen into not being guessable in 40 questions.

Sakuya/Remilia is a team that takes some major getting used to. My first 1cc was actually with Marisa/Alice. Reimu uses a lot of familiars for some of her spellcards, but Alice can ignore them mostly safely. If you're having trouble with when she goes all hyperspeed borderhax on you, just think of i...

If raocow were to do commercial games again, I'd like to see him do Commander Keen 5 (and 6 if he can get his hands on it)

#5 - Ordinary Magician Girl, Marisa Kirisame - Good power, never really gives up, and she has my favorite shot type in Subterranean Animism. #4 - Ice Fairy, Cirno - Lovable Idiot. #3 - Gardener of Hokyogoruy... Hokyourg... Gardener of Yuyuko's Territory, Youmu Konpaku - She cuts bullets into more bu...

Oh, we're doing requests again? As usual, I'll suggest the Unofficial The Universe Is Toast games (whichever ones would be feasible for playing). They're a bit Platform Hell-y, but it's Commander Keen (which Rao probably hasn't done in a while). The first one, Keys of Krodacia , is a mod of Keen 4, ...

To the best of my knowledge (as I suck terribly at EoSD) Sakuya's Time Stop: No moving, no dodging. Bullets don't move. Youmu's Bullet Time: Everything is slower. Bullets hurt but bullet paths are easier to spot Reisen's Illusion Time: Bullets do not hurt. Normal moving speed. Reisen is easier than ...

The trick with Reisen is to think of her more like Youmu than like any other boss - you can't be killed when she's using her illusion eyes thingamabob (at least, not on easy or normal. Haven't gotten that far on higher difficulties yet, but I'd think it's true still), so use that to position yoursel...

Finally got to Eirin on Imperishable Night for the first time. Missed a 1cc by one life.

EDIT: Booyah, 1cc'd with my first time on FinalB. Too bad it was on easy ^^;

Everything is okay if you keep one of those equipped, though

Rumia, Queen of Spades, Reimu-S, or Cirno

Must... resist... urge... to make... Touhou joke...

Seriously, though, starting on hard looks to have been a bad idea.

Bleh, no Jethro Tull?

Mulan it WHY THE Q^!#$^ ARE THERE SO MANY DUPLICATE OPTIONS?

Just a heads up for those who are running low on/are conservative with hard drive space: the three fighting games (IaMP, SWR, and Hisoutensoku) use up the same amount of space as the rest of the main Touhou games combined.

Still working on Perfect Cherry Blossom. I've finally learned that it's safer to take the unfocused way out of battles with certain shot types (anybody who isn't SakuyaA) because it charges Cherry faster - which leads to more Borders, so I should have my first ever Touhou 1cc here in the coming mont...

How about some Jethro Tull this time?
