Lenen EE | Unreal Tsubakura 315,361,010 (former world record) Helio Knight 2024-03-14 | This run should have been 335m. Those two misses on Clause were ??? Also sorry for the upload spam.I have not had the chance to look over the recording to make sure it is good. While streaming yesterday OBS was having some weird screen flickering issues that I had not encountered before (and do not know how to fix). I do not know if those are present in this recording so if they are please let me know.Also somehow the replay got 2,300 less score than the run??? Second time in a row that's happened. Seems to be an issue with the slowdown on Clause final but idk. Wack ass game. I'm still not satisfied with this score and will continue trying to improve it till at least 330m.Link to the live recording:youtube.com/watch?v=YxAM7EGK58s
Lenen 1 EE | Hard Yabusame 204,149,080 (category record) Helio Knight 2024-04-12 | Did this because the previous score wasn't even close to 200m. I never want to play Yabusame again.
When the music sync hits just right Helio Knight 2024-04-07 | Had this happen when doing the stage with Unreal difficulty so I decided to recreate it on the regular Extra difficulty. Twin Cranes is such a cool spell. Probably one of my favorites.
Lenen 2 EMS | Unused Tasouken Phase Helio Knight 2024-04-07 | This has probably been uploaded before but I figured I'd upload it as well. It's a cute phase, kind of annoying but not overly difficult. Though if you don't know to do it at the top it can seem really stupid lol. No clue how long it's supposed to last so I just used phase 5's timer for it which honestly might be a bit too long but eh. I can see why it went unused. Also the background is messed up for some reason. Likely because the spell is starting in an unintended way.Also there's another unused phase but it's just the phase 3 bullet spawning thing without the slashes that make bullets move so you just stand still till it ends. Don't think it needs to be uploaded.
Lenen 2 EMS | Yaorochi Unreal No Miss No Bomb No Flashbomb (Suzumi) Helio Knight 2024-04-06 | Yaorochi is quite difficult. I almost want to consider Lumen to be more difficult but Yao has some really deadly patterns. Cutting Dance is like top 2 hardest attacks in the game. Habakiri Sword (spell 3) is also really annoying and sometimes just throws really ridiculous shit at you. Non 1 is pretty infamous as if you pick the wrong gaps you can just get walled. Non 3 is an actual attack if you aren't play Tsuba and it's quite challenging too. Everything else is pretty easy.
Lenen 2 EMS | Lumen Unreal No Miss No Bomb No Flashbomb (Suzumi) Helio Knight 2024-04-05 | If the audio sounds weird it's because I recorded without music and added Lumen's theme over after.This fight is so wack. Arguably top 2 hardest fights in this game. Almost every attack has the potential to just outright kill you. If it weren't for non 3 and sp3 giving you a quick break this fight would be complete hell. Also didn't know this but apparently you don't need to do a 2nd release on Final Flash, you can just sit under Lumen and buzzsaw them to death after the first release since the laser hitbox doesn't extend below them like the lines would imply.
Lenen EE | Unreal Suzumi 180,877,716 (shot record) Helio Knight 2024-03-19 | Memes. Decided to do this since the previous "record" was a UNNN that Perma did a long time ago. If it wasn't obvious I stopped caring after stage 3. Suzumi has a few strats they can do but due to the nature of their FB most of their run is just survival. I don't really plan to improve this.

Lenen slowdown replay desync example Helio Knight 2024-03-15 | Left side is the replayRight side is the live runMy guess is that this happens because for some strange reason the slowdown of the boss dying causes the game to really not want to process Bomb and Flashbomb inputs. Because of this I've gotten a habit of mashing this last FB on Clause. The weird slowdown input shenanigans cause the replay to have a different FB timing to the live run. Thankfully this is a very minor desync as it only happens right at the end of the run but it's likely that this can happen on the other bosses as well. I've yet to encouter it because it's not normally an issue.Here's a link to the replay:youtube.com/watch?v=QS9gcSx1lDoAnd here's a link to the live run:youtube.com/watch?v=YxAM7EGK58s
Lenen EE | Unreal Tsubakura 311,418,292 (former shot record) Helio Knight 2024-03-13 | I almost don't even want to upload this run but I guess I will since it's my first 300m. This run honestly went better than I give it credit for. 311m with 3 lives means I had 281m before the clear bonus which is honestly fantastic score. Just a shame the potential this run had was squandered on some of the most ??? deaths ever.Also for some reason the replay scores 7k less than the run did? Not sure how or why but that's something. Also no special thumbnail because this run annoys me.
Lenen EE | Blue Storm Chain-Flashbomb Helio Knight 2024-03-06 | Not a reupload, this version has a better position that gets more graze, make the pattern easier, and may or may not get more cancel score.
Lenen EE | Unreal Tsubakura 282,750,149 (former shot record) Helio Knight 2024-02-28 | Stage 2 is impossible
Lenen EE | Unreal Stage 3 Tsubakura 103.6 Million Helio Knight 2024-02-23 | About as close to perfect as I'm likely to get this stage. Midnon was a little mean and the Midspell was average. I messed up the opener again and lost a small bit of graze. Lost a lot of graze on non 3 but oh well, better than dying/bombing. Also lost a bit of graze to Loop Kingdom. Kinda forgot to remove the Aoje at the bottom left when I recorded but whatever. It'll just stay there.
Lenen EE | Unreal Stage 6 Tsubakura 66.59 Million Helio Knight 2024-02-23 | Had to be live recorded because this stage is not possible to do with the score starting at 0. Replays automatically start at 0 even with the practice patch so yeah (learned that the hard way if my HiScore didn't make it obvious). This stage is pretty fun even if failing the Chain-Flashbombs makes me feel like I need a brain examination. It's a much easier stage than stages 2 and 3. In an optimal run you'd have 5 bombs to dump into Non 3 (the 2 you start with and the 3 you get from drops) as each bomb on Non 3 is worth about 3.2 million if timed right (roughly 500k~600k more than bombing Leviathan).Had some awkward late FBs on Non 4 which made me chicken out of the last wave and my position on the final wasn't very good so I lost about 2 mil from both of those things. Obviously dying to Super Hyper Nova is bad and you'd prefer that not to happen lol.
Lenen EE | Clause final Chain-FlashBomb no bomb setup Helio Knight 2024-02-11 | Using the silhouette in the spell bg let's you get into place fairly easily, albeit without much time to get into place. Improvement over the original strategy because you don't have to suicide for this. This version gives a similar amount of score without the 10 million loss from a suicide so you get the full 35-38 million. This also means that in a truly optimal run you can spend the 2 bombs you get from the stage 4 and 5 midboss on Clause non 3.Big thank you to my friend Diamenciory for finding this strategy.youtube.com/@diamenciory1439also thanks for not allowing me to put links youtube. Great website.
Lenen EE | Unreal 255 million Tsubakura (former shot record) Helio Knight 2024-02-11 | At least afaik this should be shot record. Don't think anyone has touched this game or this category in years. Decided to do a funny no reset run out of stage 1 just cause. Wasn't expecting to clear but yeah. This run sucked lmao. Stage 2 was trash, stage 3 could be improved easily, stage 4 had a meme death, I forgot my stage 5 route, and I dropped my brain at Clause. At least this shows me what I can aim for with this category. 300 million grind? Definitely not happy with this run though lol.
graze slit dragon kappa Helio Knight 2024-02-06 | Top 5 really stupid strategies that are not worth doing.
Lenen 1 EE | Unreal Stage 2, 57 million (Tsubakura) Helio Knight 2024-02-05 | Wow it's been a hot minute since I've uploaded anything. Following my retirement from Touhou I haven't had much that I've wanted to do. Colosseum and XD take forever to get anywhere so uploads of them are next to nonexistent. Recently I had a short burst of inspiration to play this game again and hopefully improve my old (terrible) score. Progress will be slow since I'm just going to play when I feel like playing it. Apologies for the quality.I streamed this to twitch.twitch.tv/helio_knight1
XD any% with Jolteon (4:41:30) Helio Knight 2023-11-17 | First time trying PAL. Timer is like 5 seconds off so the actual time is 4:41:30. This run was definitely better than the previous one. Not as many misclicks but I can't help but feel like I missed more thunders... Anyways, the thunder accuracy this run sucked. Missing 2 called Thunders is horrendous. This route still has room for improvement for sure. I will definitely do more runs soon.I can't have clickable links anymore for some reason lmao:twitch.tv/helio_knight1
XD Any% with Jolteon (4:46:44) Helio Knight 2023-10-06 | My awful twitch streams are here:twitch.tv/helio_knight1Needs to be retimed but I think that's about right. Start was a total memefest because I did not do preparations. Mostly because I wasn't expecting to hit my first manip, let alone get a first try Teddy. Route still needs a lot of cleaning up so I will be doing more attempts in the future, at least until I'm happy with it. Lot of timeloss. Belish optional, bad purify nature, 2 calls, used the wrong move several times, like 8 or so missed Thunders (4 of which on the same fight), had some weird interactions I wasn't prepared for, died to Ardos, forgot White Herb on Eldes, killed Jolteon by accident once or twice, and just in general didn't play very good. Not used to the game yet so my menus are terrible. Sub 4:40 is for sure possible with Jolteon, just really hard and probably not possible on console?

Sonic Frontiers - The End Boss (No hit, no Laser) Helio Knight 2023-07-15 | I'm pretty late doing this huh? Lol. TLB of Sonic Frontiers done without getting hit and without using the laser button. You can swap between light and dark shots, while using one type your shots will cancel the bullets of the same color and you will also absorb them if you touch them while shooting.Pretty cool boss, love the Ikaruga inspired bullet hell design. Took 2 attempts for this since I didn't know about the big laser lol. Fight is overall pretty easy which makes sense given that I don't imagine most Sonic fans play shmups but I won't complain. Hopefully I won't get smited for including the dialogue in the cutscenes and such. Sega seems pretty lax with that stuff and it's been a while since the game came out but eh, still gonna be on guard.
Colosseum any% (3:32:56) Helio Knight 2023-05-23 | Dogmonke gets on a run, comedy ensues Vod here:twitch.tv/videos/1827406088
Pizza Tower any% 1:24:08 Helio Knight 2023-05-17 | Count the amount of times I say "sure man" in this video. Final time is a little off due to me having to move my hand from the controller to the split button. From what I can tell the timer started about .3 seconds early and ended about a second late. So Final time is roughly 1:24:08.5
Touhou IN | Xu Fus Dimension 15107 time, 4644 graze Helio Knight 2023-04-01 | I'm playing this shit again...
Imperishable Shooting | 39m SCB, 1219 graze, 4305 time Helio Knight 2023-02-10 | Don't mind me. Just milking uploads.Watch me fail to clear here:twitch.tv/helio_knight1
Touhou 8 IN | Honest Mans Death, 20081 time, 6536 graze (Youmu) Helio Knight 2023-02-09 | Finally decided to stop being a baby and learn this. It's honestly not much harder than the version I was doing before, the rhythm and tap distance are a little more strict but the hardest part imo is just remembering how to do it. Going from a consistent amount of direction taps to 8-6-11-4-6-4 is awkward to say the least. Thankfully if I ever get sick of failing it a bunch I can do it a little lower. Still not going as high as possible for this spell but any higher makes the rhythm a lot more strict, I even messed up the rhythm here a little towards the end but this height gives enough leeway for that to happen. I might have missed a little graze at around 15-20 seconds left due to being too far left. Too close to the high speed blue bullet spawner. Anyways, probably gonna stick to doing this since I really need to stop being a bitch on this stage.
Touhou 8 IN | Extra Scoring 2,743,150,820 (Youmu) Helio Knight 2023-02-04 | Trash run, I'm mostly uploading this so I can more easily find it. And so that I can say I'm uploading still.
Pokemon Colosseum Any% 3:44:26 Helio Knight 2023-01-06 | Ignore how monkey brained I went at the end. Audio is kinda bad, I'll try to fix it next time. Watch the highlighted vod on twitch for better audio. Also yeah I streamed this to twitch this time.twitch.tv/videos/1698712052
Racing Gyarados in Fire Red because I make poor choices Helio Knight 2022-12-13 | Watch the people who actually know what they're doing. That means don't watch me because I don't know what I'm doing.
Colo speedrun but I actually get a runable Quilava Helio Knight 2022-12-03 | I will get a run sooner or later... maybe...
Touhou IN | Ichijou, 8423 Time, 2773 Graze (Youmu) Helio Knight 2022-11-10 | I promise this is the last upload of Ichijou. I finally got 8k time on this stupid spell after quite a lot of grinding for it. Actually overshot by quite a lot surprisingly. This was quite challenging for me. A lot of the issues were just figuring out how to avoid clipping shit from the cluster, I still do that quite a lot. Never aiming for 8k again btw.Spell History: 273 / 3787Now the question is do I delete my previous uploads of this?
Touhou IN | Extra scoring 2,622,769,210 (Youmu) Helio Knight 2022-11-08 | First No Miss run. I'm officially an IN Extra scorer and I am happy. PB by almost 210 million. Surpassed my goal of 2.5b. Run had some funny fails but it's fine. Just means next run will be better.
Ichijou, 7949 Time, 2612 Graze (Youmu) Helio Knight 2022-11-08 | Gained an extra like 100 time from shooting unfocused at the end, so actually it's more like 7836 Time. But 7949 sounds cooler. I love uploading PBs only to immediately beat said PB. So uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Yeah this is awkward...

Touhou IN | Mokou No Miss 1 Bomb Failed LS (Youmu) 63,799 Time Helio Knight 2022-11-03 | Uploading this mainly because I haven't uploaded much lately. Also a reupload because my computer somehow turned mic on despite the fact I never click the mic option with the thing I use to record. Whatever. Overall fairly good. There are a few things I could improve but I'm happy with this for now. I mainly wanted to simulate Mokou on a run.I killed opener early because she did the weird movement I hate and usually die to. Minus ~1k time.Xu Fu and HMD were decent12,389 Xu Fu17,801 HMD (Not too sure how much familiar bonus skewed this compared to a single spell cap)Dropped Human gauge at Woo, Phoenix Tail and Volcano but that's not really a big deal. Woo had some really weird RNG.Bombed non 8 because of course.Killed Hourai Doll early because it's not all the necessary for me to time it down yet. Also I completely brainfarted the items after. Never PoC with Yokai gauge.Imperishable Shooting is impossible.
Touhou IN Extra | Honest Mans Death, 17693 time, 5723 Graze Helio Knight 2022-10-19 | Reupload because 30 fps recording lol. Around 1600 attempts to get this. Like 90% of those attempts just finding a consistent height and getting used to the taps. I even downloaded a metronome and had that play with the bpm most of the day (at least what I thought was the bpm, still don't know if the bpm is 72 or not but whatever). Anyways, definitely not doing this in runs unless I get like 2.7b and want to go higher.

Touhou IN Extra | Ichijou, 2334 graze, 7104 Time Helio Knight 2022-10-04 | I'm finally back to playing this category. I've decided I want to actually improve and get good at this spell since this attack was one of the things that made me want to score this category in the first place. I've definitely gotten a lot better at it that's for sure.Anyways, I've gotten a bit fed up with YouTube's bs and the bots that have been attacking my stream chat has made me pretty demotivated to stream here. So I've decided to stream Touhou stuff onto Twitch for the time being. I'll still stream non-touhou things onto here though. So if you want to see my touhou streams then go to Twitch.twitch.tv/helio_knight1
Touhou DLW Please Understand That I Love You Helio Knight 2022-09-17 | Aka "Please Understand That You Cannot Hug Bottom"This is the final spell in the fangame Dream Logic World. On the surface it looks insane and it kinda is. If you just try to gorilla this spell it's harder than PDH. This spell is like the definition of "easier than it looks". It's semi static with most of the randomness coming from aimed stuff. This spell needs to be controlled and sometimes you can give yourself seemingly impossible situations if you mess up. I purposefully delay the start of phase 3 for wave 3 as it makes the rest of the pattern line up better. This spell generally has 2 parts to it, the aimed arrow rain and then the laser hell. The arrows seemingly have a static formation to them, they're just aimed and the laser hell depends entirely on where the arrows go. If you mess up you can give yourself a really delayed laser which is really funny. The colors of the lasers at the bottom of the screen are always the same so you always know where lasers are gonna go. There's always gonna be green to your bottom right on the first laser hell for instance. One thing that I'm still not too sure how badly it affects the pattern is Aimi's movement. She randomly decides between clockwise and counter clockwise at the start of the spell but always alternates afterwards. I think it's mainly to give the pattern some extra difficulty but I'm not too sure if one direction is better than the other yet.Not sure how this spell goes with other teams but I imagine you generally do the same thing. I may not have an easy time enjoying this game but the music will for sure keep bringing me back lol. Aimi is pretty fun though I'll admit.Also we aren't gonna talk about how this is my 2nd cap because I killed the spell the frame I died before and got the spell card bonus for some reason.
Speedrunning XD!? Vaporeon + Sheep Helio Knight 2022-09-10 | XD sucks. This run is a good joke.Run starts: 50:00
