Really? You found them confusing?

I found that after 5 or 6 times reading the patterns that they were a breeze. Don't be afraid to take an empty shot to clear the screen, the film will roll quickly when you miss.

Grrrrrrrr... Took a break from Touhou and came back to SA Lunatic after a bit. No death stages 1 through 3. My life count was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Fast forward a bit, and I leave Orin with 3 extra lives. Okuu is totally doable! This could be my 1cc!

1 death to the stage. 2 freaking deaths to Orin's midboss spell. Game over on Peta Flare. So... So close... Yet so far.

Yes, that happens far too often ._.

I love leaving Stage 3 with 7 lives and leaving Stage 4 with two. So much fun, even if I can do the stage consistently.

Hey, let's attempt LLS Extra, I haven't done that in a while...

Oooh, I did great at the stage portion, time for Mugetsu...

I was using Marisa, so I didn't have Reimu's spread, and she moved in practically the worst possible way over and over again. She just dodged everything I threw at her.

As it turned out, she had barely a sliver of health left on that phase anyway, when it got to the timeout phase. Not that it really mattered, since as brutal as those timeout phases are, it was enough.

Though I got my revenge, the very next attempt cleared with four freaking lives in stock.

Let's see... Two lives and SIX bombs wasted on Shikigami "Chen"? Why not? This really should have been my first Extra Stage clear ever, but instead I neglected preparations and wasted literally all my resources, ultimately facing Kokkuri-san's Contract for the first time... with no extra lives or bombs. The result was predictable.

In another run, despite a similar amount of awful mistakes, I managed to reach Kokkuri-san's Contract with two bombs in stock. I lost in the final seconds, with both still unused.

My TD normal attempts are cursed.

N?1 : Run into a bullet because key stuck.
N?2 : Get hit because key stuck.
N?3 : Perfect up to stage 4 boss, pause game because keys begin to stuck again. Go back to desktop => game crash.
N?4 : Stupid fairy ram because bored as hell by the first stages.

Repeat n?4 again and again...
I quite enjoy the boss fights in this game, but the stages are just tedious.

NO! God damn it.
Was trying EoSD Extra and after a morning full of failing and getting really annoyed (and trying again minutes later each time) I got to Flan's card with the rainbow coloured shots that fall down for the second time but with a life still in stock (love that card too despite seeing it only twice now) and then my bloody laptop decided that it needed to warn me that my battery was at 7% which minimised EoSD and because I have that fading hitbox patch installed (so it functions like in PCB>) it crashed when I popped it up again  :(  I knew the moment it happened that I was buggered.

Oh and whilst I'm at it, fuck the following:
~ EoSD Extra stage (first half) and Patchy
~ IN Lunatic
~ Imperishable shooting
~ Spell 222
~ SA Hard
~ SA Extra
~ UFO Normal
~ My amazing crappiness

Missed the last extend
Died with charge at 2 (about to release)

Surprisingly enough, this wasn't my last attempt, as I had one more. I got to 2:00 after losing all my hits to the last 30 seconds. Of course, THEN she got to her last hit in 1:30 minutes. The former two attempts reached 2:38 and 3:03.
And even with that extra attempt I failed to reach the final extend.
I give up.

Well, all of my runs usually reach Miko.
I've practiced the stage 6, I know exactly where to bomb/trance, and yet I still fail every full run, even when I enter the stage with way more resources than needed. I guess "doing exactly as planned" isn't my strong suit.

I'll stop trying and go play something fun instead.

Just about ready to give up trying to do EoSD Extra. Just reached the last card,, first time I'd ever seen it and the survival before it. Fucked them horribly. Amongst others.
And.

This.
Stage.
As well as her two cards after the rainbow coloured one. The one with the two big blue slowly spinning crosses with a heap of red shots coming down plus the one before it. Oh, and Maze of Love is really hard for me. I can't do the circling round thing at all so tiny gaps it is then.

(Most of Flan's cards are good fun though but getting there is super frustrating)

Relax, I feel the same way about Mamizou's stage. Tip:

Circling is ALWAYS easier than gaps because those gaps are fucking pricks probably because you're not supposed to do that in the first place.

Oh boy man guess why you failed ATTWBN and QED? Was it maybe because it was the first time you've encountered them?? No, obviously it's just because the game is too hard and you will never be able to do it no matter how much you practice. You might as well just give up, because that is totally the best way to actually accomplish things.

I watched the replay, and basically everything worth critiquing isn't a matter of "dodge better" (besides QED), it's "you're just doing it wrong".

You did Royal Flare in an odd way that forced you to do more than you need, and you bombed.
You bombed for points in both streaming instances where you could have easily just went along and have two extra bombs.
You have no idea what you're doing on Cranberry Trap. You don't seem to know which waves to stream and which to dodge and where any of the bullets are coming from.
Bombing Maze of Love on your first clear is totally fine don't even hesitate. You might be able to get away with only one bomb, even.
Not sure why you bombed Catadioptric. It's safer in the right corner yeah, but not literally in the corner, and you can dodge it well enough to cap.
You got pummeled by Counter Clock because you're moving too much and can't tell when the laser hitboxes come up.
You did the opening of ATTWBN well enough, but your unfamiliarity with the different waves is what did you over. Plus, you should be tackling the card about 1/4 to 1/3 way up the screen, not in the middle like you were doing.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if you've ever watched a replay of somebody actually doing well, because that would pretty much solve most of your problems.

Ok yeah, I understand and I'm sorry for how I posted and came off :blush: Honestly, thanks for that.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if you've ever watched a replay of somebody actually doing well, because that would pretty much solve most of your problems.

No, not really. My stance on that has pretty much been "where's the accomplishment if I have to watch someone else do it properly because I can't figure it". Which, I'll admit, is stupid at this point since I just can't or I'm stuck in methods that are harder/wrong.
I had seen Maze of Love done properly and tried it but can't keep up with it and keep control. And I picked up the technique for the very beginning from a replay too but nothing beyond that. I guess I should then. Will have a look at a NBND run from Cactu and/or Mikkey.

As for your points, you're completely right about Cranberry Trap. It confuses me quite a bit. A little because of Flandre's movement at the beginning but yeah, I simply don't know it. I have 5/27 caps and they were all 100% luck. Will take extra note of it and Royal Flare in particular.
Counter Clock, I checked my records and it was the second time I've gotten that far but I can't quite watch the lasers and the red shots at the same time so that's not something I can learn, IMO. [Edit: Well, I was wrong about that, seems I can learn it to some extent]
Catadioptric was pretty much a panic bomb since I was through anyway. I think this one is more intimidating than dangerous but I haven't had enough practice at it.


Quote from: Drake

Yeah, I know. That one was just stupid, I normally do the whole stage after Patchy safely without trouble, dunno why I tried and then buggered that >_> Did the books poorly too.

I don't know what it is about SA stage 1 that just makes me make so many dumb mistakes. I think 75% of my attempts at SA Lunatic have been restarts because of dying stupidly in the first stage. Breaking that down even further, 50% of that 75% is to pre-Kisume, 25% of that is to Kisume's midboss spell, and another 25% of that is to the post-Kisume stuff. I've only gotten to stage 6 three times, and each time I've gotten there I've died to the stupidest things like the midboss spell or the first 10 seconds of the stage or the easy streaming bit.

And I really hate how scarce power is in stage 5. Stage 4 is at least doable because of the fairy at the very end that basically refills your power, but the only part in stage 5 that can refill your power is the streaming part, and even that is post-Orin midboss, meaning that since I usually go into stage 5 with so little power thanks to Satori's spells, midboss Orin and the popcorn section right after that results in at least 1 death, with 2 or more being the norm. Also while I'm at it, that popcorn section after midboss Orin is full of BS. Especially since all of midboss Orin's stuff is rather dangerous to time out. Her first non-spell is ridiculously fast and can easily screw you up, her second non-spell isn't as bad... If you're at full power (yeah not likely), and Cat's Walk is obviously just a gigantic mess of bullets coming every which way that necessitates one or two bombs, depending on how much power I go in with.

Oh yeah, the lasers in SA seem to hate me. It seems that I never die because it collides full on with my hitbox. I die because the lasers just barely graze to the left or right of my hitbox, and hits me by what literally seems to be one pixel. That's just the most disappointing kind of death because it feels as though it wasn't my fault (even though it is).
