Happy new year everyone! Hope 2017 was really nice for all of you and that your touhou careers were nice and fruitful during this year. I thought of making a thread where you could post timelines of your achievements from 2017! Up to you to decide which ones you feel like posting and which ones you feel like leaving out, as well as adding comments to the achievements.
I'll start:
1/6/2017: SA normal 1cc (Marisa C) ~ This was a pretty big deal to me, since at the time SA felt like the most impossible and out of this world thing I could ever do. Also the first of my dumb loud reactions, which is probably a bad thing.
1/18/2017: EoSD Extra NB (Marisa B) ~ Didn't really pay much attention to it since I really wanted NN, but felt nice nonetheless to get my first extra NB.
1/20/2017: EoSD Hard 1cc (Marisa B) ~ First hard 1cc and first hard credit ever lol
1/22/2017: IN extra clear (Ghost team)
1/25/2017: Lunatic books cap (Marisa B) ~ Was 1/1 on them for months to come rofl
2/6/2017: PCB Phantasm clear (Marisa B)
2/14/2017: PCB Hard 1cc (Marisa B)
2/25/2017: MS Extra Clear (Marisa)
3/3/2017: Cat's walk lunatic timeout (Reimu A) ~ First try lol
3/4/2017: EoSD ExNN (Marisa B) ~ This was a huge deal to me, my first really good achievement that I was super proud of. Worked quite a bit for this one.
3/15/2017: PCB ExNNN (Marisa B)
3/21/2017: EoSD Lunatic 1cc (Marisa B) ~ This didn't take long at all to grind, but I felt pretty bad and unsatisfied with it, despite capturing killing doll in it. Still first loony is pretty fine, finished 1/0 too.
4/5/2017: EoSD Lunatic 1cc (Marisa A)
4/6/2017: EoSD Lunatic 1cc (Reimu A)
4/15/2017: NMNB Lunatic Patchy (Marisa B)
4/17/2017: PCB Phantasm NNN (Marisa B) ~ This run was a huge pride for me for a really long time, didn't grind too much for it cause I kinda lacked motivation. Still glad I pulled through, DBDB cap was sick.
5/2/2017: NMNB Lunatic Sakuya (Marisa B) ~ Got it pretty quick, kinda lucked through it. Got another one the same day which had worse rng as well, very surprizing.
5/16/2017: NMNB Lunatic Patchouli (All shots) ~ After being burned out of LNB this was a fun side goal I did and was super proud of, would watch it a lot. Got lucky with Marisa A though, never lost an attempt to megalith or cromlech.
5/24/2017: EoSD ExNN (Reimu B)
6/8/2017: NMNB Lunatic Remilia (Marisa B) ~ I was extremely proud of this, I worked pretty hard during a week to get it and it payed off. Tons of 1MNBs and even more 2MNBs came before it. Remilia as first stage 6 boss perfect is pretty tough but it was worth it.
6/20/2017: EoSD LNB (Marisa B) ~ First LNB, made me feel extremely good for a pretty long period of time, then that feel good kinda died out. The meister cap in that was pretty damn solid as well.
6/27/2017: NNN Lunatic Prismrivers (Marisa B) ~ Decided to play a bit of PCB to relax from EoSD lowmiss grinding and practice, was comfy
6/29/2017: NNN Lunatic Youmu (Marisa B)
6/30/2017: NNN Lunatic Yuyuko (Marisa B)
7/5/2017: PCB Lunatic 1cc (Marisa B)
7/24/2017: NMNB Lunatic Shinki (Marisa) ~ This is where I started my "all stage 6 boss perfect" meme, settled on Shinki for next cause she wasn't too hard and I really liked Mystic Square
7/25/2017: NMNB Lunatic stage 6 Yuuka (Marisa A)
7/29/2017: PDH Lunatic Capture (Marisa) ~ Wanted to do Junko next. Cap came 400 attempts in. Little did he know that the next one would take 1800... Also needless to say Junko was way more than I could chew
8/1/2017: EoSD L7MNB (Marisa B) ~ First miss pb, really happy it happened since I had been wanting to clear again for a long time, so the little extra is nice. 2nd LNB as well
8/1/2017: EoSD L6MNB (Marisa B) ~ Then this happened too, was completely taken away. 2M entering stage 6 too.
8/28/2017: EoSD ExNN (Reimu A)
9/15/2017: EoSD L5MNB (Marisa B)
9/18/2017: LNN entering Sakuya in EoSD (Marisa B) ~ Happened in a call with Cactu out of the blue, got super nervous though and ended up 7Ming lol. My next credit (2 days later I think) ended up also reaching Sakuya NN, and 5Med.
11/2/2017: NMNBFS Lunatic Eirin (Solo Marisa) ~ After being hospitalized and losing track of stuff, focusing a lot on EoSD, I was playing IN in call with Gastari and tried out the Eirin patterns. Capped hourai elixir blind and remembered my stage 6 boss perfect goal, decided to go for Eirin cause I loved the fight, the music and the character, and she was the very first boss I wanted to be able to NN in the past. Very happy about it, saved my touhou career even by providing an alternative to burning out in EoSD.
11/19/2017: NMNB Lunatic Byakuren (Marisa A) ~ Decided after a week break to do Byakuren next to get her out of the way, being inspired by Gastari's UFO streams. Got her in a week, pretty happy with it, and the boss was overall a nice experience.
11/25/2017: NMNB Lunatic Clownpiece (Marisa) ~ Had just started to grind Junko, and didn't want to burn out so I did Clownpiece. Definitely don't regret it, very fun boss.
12/6/2017: Lunatic PDH MASTER (Marisa) ~ After an extremely long grind I finally managed to capture PDH 100 times, finishing the job I had started in the summer. I convinced myself to never give up no matter what like I had in the past on Junko, and PDH master was a very rewarding and satisfying milestone to achieve. 3880 attempts total for MASTER, 400 for first cap and 1800 for second, 1600 to finish the job.
12/27/2017: NMNB Lunatic Junko (Marisa) ~ This was the magnum opus of my touhou year and career. Nothing has ever been this hard for me. I played a total of 85 hours for this boss NN, and it was well worth it. I lost a lot of confidence towards the latter parts of the grind, but managed to clutch through some good mentality during the final 3 hours of grinding, and it was well worth it. This will be my best achievement for a long time.
Overall 2017 has been a very fulfilling year for me, went from being barely able to 1cc SA on normal all the way to being able to perfect the hardest boss in the series. All of which was done with Marisa, save a few IN clears in the beginning of the year, done with netherworld. I absolutely do not regret using Marisa for all of these, as I feel like she definitely deserves more love than she gets, and that the challenge makes the reward as well as the grind that much more satisfying. My goals for 2018 are to finish NMNBing the bosses on my list (Kaguya, Kanako, Okuu, Miko, Sukuna and Okina are left), as well as get either a really low miss run of EoSD or an LNN with Marisa B. If that happens early enough I'll also consider learning LoLK, with Marisa of course
