Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows all about Touhou, so I don't really need to bother with any wiki information, descriptions, or anything like that :3 so I shall just get to the main point of this thread here.

I'm sure that a good deal of us get bored sometimes with just doing regular runs through the stages, trying to remember the bullet patterns and such, and even more bored when you do memorize each and every pattern and know how to dodge a great majority of them. Why not make things more interesting with different types of challenges? I figure that we could have a place where people can request things for other Touhou players to attempt accomplishing.

For example, someone comes up with an idea that he/she wants to see attempted and maybe accomplished. They post in this thread with the details of the challenge, and anyone who thinks they can accomplish the challenge(s) can go ahead and attempt them, and also post a video of their recorded challenge onto youtube (given they have the ability to do that, using a recording device of some sort).

If this thread gets a lot of interest from challengers and people who would like to take on challenges, I'll probably make a list of people who are willing to post youtube videos of their accomplished challenges. Also, I have a few ideas to make things a bit more interesting, but I won't go into details with that unless some people ask me what those ideas might be. ^^



Some challenges:

Alright, after noticing this wasn't getting much attention at all, I figure I might as well list some challenges I've come up with on my own, for other people to take on if they want too try and don't mind the possibility of going insane. :3 Good luck!

---------------------------------

This list is definitely not complete, and if anyone thinks a challenge is in the wrong difficulty listing, lemme know and I'll move it. Now, everyone go ahead and post in here on what challenges you're attempting and I'll put your username next to the listed challenge :3 after that and if you complete the challenge, I'll make a new list of 'Challenges completed', or make a new list for each individual challenger and put completed challenges they've done in their lists ^_^

Sanoka's current Challenge list:

No Focus run of well, as many scenes in Shoot The Bullet I can accomplish without giving up XD This means not only no camera focus, but no regular focus as well!

Aye, that we do. My skill level has probably dropped as well from the lack of playing the games a lot, I've yet to even beat Phantasmagoria in Perfect Cherry Blossom. x_x; Not even close to beating it. Hopefully, this thread will get a good deal of the guild's interest. If that happens, I may come up with a few plans to make things fun and interesting :3

Mrawr... *pouts* Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea afterall?

Hm, you've got a point there, x_x; meh, the list isn't really well thought out yet or anything. Would be wonderful if I had a little assitance for better ways of listing the challenges and whatnot xp

Ahah, I see, yeah though, thats a good idea. I'll add that in the first post for people to post on what difficulty they completed it on. Of course, those aren't the only challenges that people can do. People can come up with other challenges for other people to attempt really 3nodding

*eye twitches* Oh dear god, I've barely even been able to complete 29 scenes on StB x_x; hahah, funny though that I was playing it for more than an hour before reading this. xd Oi, when you say unfocused run, do you mean going through every scene without focus? Or just a single stage and all of the scenes or something in the stage? I've only gotten up to stage 9 unlocked thus far sweatdrop
