Mountain of Fail: Memeoire







— Taboo: Laevateinn is Hard: Ultroloth was struggling a lot with the card when he was going for first clears of EoSD extra, and seeing as that card is one of Flandre's easiest cards Laevateinn's difficulty became a meme.
— K4 and Nonspells: K4 captures incredibly hard spells. K4 dies to silly non spells
— ChinaBomb: Ultroloth was trying to go for first clears of EoSD extra, and died to a non spell with two bombs in stock. In a moment of uncontrollable rage he yelled "I died with two fucking piece of shit worthless motherfucking made in China bombs in stock!". That moment was clipped by K4, and the term "ChinaBomb" is used to refer to bombs that are lost upon death.
— WAAAAUGH: During a stream of Phantasm, Ultroloth let out a scream represented by the onomatopoeia WAAAAUGH when he forgot that enemies spawned on one side of the screen
— 18/17: During a really long EoSD ExNN attempts stream done by CopperMarten, either Aubis or Zerrvr (identity was lost to time) said that he would statistically get the run in 17 attempts, and runs were counted down towards the 17th (1/17, 2/17 and so on). After 17 failed attempts, every run after that became run 18/17
— Paint Diagrams: During CopperMarten's first teaching stream (PCB Extra) he decided to diagram the maths and geometry behind dodging some of the attacks on Microsoft Paint. The technique's absurdity mixed with its unexpected effectiveness eventually became a meme, and paint diagrams are now the most used method of explaining the strategy behind patterns.
— Grudge Bow Route: While attempting UFO ExNNNs, CopperMarten came up with a route for Grudge Bow, a card heavily reliant on reading ahead and random dodging. This upset enough good players whose strategies were simply "get good and dodge" to become a meme.
— QED is free: During an EoSD Ex stream by Twitch.tv user Dawnbomb his chat (containing some members of Mountain of Fail) advised him to be wary of QED ~ Ripples of 495 Years. He then decided to look at a video of said spell card and, oblivious to its actual difficulty, declared that spell card to be "free" and that "4 of a kind is way harder look at how dense it is"
— ayy lmao: Mountain of Fail member stepacool was responding to every message with "ayy" in it with "lmao" during the writing of this Memeoire. This prompted CopperMarten to give him the role of "lmao", which was swiftly removed after he forgot one ayy.
— This Spell is Giving me the S U C C: Phrase uttered by Ultroloth during the last phase of Utsuho's last spell before clearing SA on normal difficulty. This made it into Pearl's clip of the last moments of said run, and became a meme due to its randomness.
— REEEEEE: Deformation of the already existing meme REEEEEE, associated with rage against common people. This version of REEEE involves heavily stressing out and saying really loudly any part of a word with a "re" sound (examples: REEEEEstreaming, Perfect CheREEEEE Blossom, ...)
— Junko's Gayass Nons™: This is the name given to the nonspells used by Junko in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, first said by ZM.
— Crying in a Corner: The name given to the act of standing still during a bullet pattern and the player hoping bullets do not hit them. The hilarity of some instances of this strategy working has turned this into a meme.
— Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom Pointdevice: This references the fact that CopperMarten tends to lure people into playing Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom on Pointdevice mode, assuring them that it's an enjoyable experience. The reason why this is a meme is because everyone who plays said game tends to regret it afterwards.
— Subterranean Animism Normal: This meme references the multiple instances where the difficulty of Subterranean Animism on Normal felt out of place. The first instance was when Ultroloth felt like a perfect run of EoSD extra was easier to achieve than a 1CC of SA normal, which eventually got him to his first No Bomb run of an Extra. The second instance was when CopperMarten had finished a lunatic 1CC of LoLK and then played SA Normal, and wiped on stage 4.
— Ugh, look at me: Phrase uttered by Ultroloth while he was trying to beat Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom on Pointdevice, in reference to CopperMarten's skill at the game where he struggled. The phrase "Ugh, look at me" is said and then followed by "I can X", with X being something one player is good at and another one isn't.
— K4 and TD: Mountain of Fail user kfourit was originally playing the games in numerical order, but never got around to playing the 13th game, Ten Desires, after being done with UFO. He instead played extra stages and went for hard 1CCs. The meme is that kfourit still has to play Ten Desires, and will eventually, but he keeps delaying it.
— Scoring During Dialogue: Ultroloth enjoys scoring during dialogue in EoSD with Marisa B's lasers, as they don't disappear and give score if they hit a boss during their dialogue.
— "i mean, i dont think its fair to judge the balance of the game based on a player imposed restriction of no bombs no deaths ever. while its fun in its own right as a fan challenge, and designed for that to be possible, its certinly not generally designed for balance around NBNM for the games general audience. i dont think its fair to evaluate the difficulty of the games based on restrictions your imposing upon yourself. and in a sense of simply beating QED, no its not very hard.": Wall of text said by twitch.tv streamer Dawnbomb in response to the "QED is free" meme, used as a copypasta.
— Asian Wins: Maribel Hearn in 2011 considered normal 1CCs to be feats of amazing skill, leading to this conversation:
"- I only count 1ccs as real wins
- Maribel: Those are asian wins
- >asian wins
- It's possible
- Maribel: Yeah. For them >_>"
The term "asian win" is used to refer to a 1CC.
— Autism Vision: Term coined by Barack Obama referring to moving your face closer to the screen in order to have better vision around your character on certain spell cards that require precise dodging such as Pristine Danmaku Hell.
