Title: CtC Unlocking Extra
Post by: sumisumi127 on July 16, 2010, 09:29:52 PM
So I've beaten all scenarios with the starter characters, with more than 1000 hakurei points each,  and captured all of Reimu's final five (on practice mode...)

What else do I have to do?  This is getting so tiring.  Shouldn't someone just host a data file that has everything unlocked?  For some reason Extra is really troublesome to get, so I thought maybe I could find one. /:

This is starting to piss me off. I think I'm going to erase my data and start over entirely fresh with a new game folder. Because all I've ever had to do was 1cc with all four characters. No extra scenarios, doubt I've completed all the last words and definitely not the Final Five.

I nearly forgot to post what I found, lol.

I copied my CtC folder, started up the game and reset all of the data. Spell card records, scores, everything is wiped.

1. I played MarisaA. I quite like MarisaA, good movement and a nice scenario, easy to nab Hakurei, homing etc. I reached a few Last Spells, but did not end up either reaching them all or capturing them all. 1ccd after two attempts because I wanted more Hakurei from Meiling. I reached Reimu's second Last Spell. I went through the credits all the way to the end, until the game asks you to save a replay.

2. I played MarisaB. I hate MarisaB. Stupidly slow and widespread. Hard to get to the top of the screen and back down. Not awkward to use, just bad. 1ccd first try, did not reach all Last Spells. Reached Reimu's second Last Spell again, went through all of credits.

3. I played MarisaC. MarisaC is super fast which is great for picking up items, but she might be just a tad too fast. Perfect movement for CtC would be MarisaA's focused speed and just slightly faster than her unfocused. Otherwise, MarisaC is hardcore. Slaughters everything. Shotgun's a beast. 1ccd second try, switch from B to C was way too harsh. Did not reach all Last Spells, Reached Reimu's second once again. Watched credits.

4. I played MarisaD. The absurd amount of Hakurei points per graze you get doesn't make up for her shitty shot and scenario with barely any safe graze opportunities. 1ccd first try, did not reach many Last Spells at all. Reached Reimu's third Last Spell (hooray). Watched all of the credits.

HEY GUESS WHAT

EXTRA UNLOCKED

I don't know what you people are doing wrong. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary during any of those runs, except for end with a usual 1200+ points or so. I swear, if the problem is that you guys aren't watching the credits the whole way through, I'm going to have to choke a bitch.

If I'm reading the code right, the only requirement for Extra is to 1CC the game twice with any given character/shot type. Any difficulty, any scenario (can be the same or different).

Phantasm seems to be:
* 1CC every scenario on Easy difficulty only with your current character.
* 1CC every scenario on Normal, Hard or Lunatic with your current character.
* Clear Extra with your current character.
* Clear Hard or Lunatic with any character, any scenario, continues allowed.
Looking at this makes me wonder how anyone could think that requiring you to 1CC Easy and Normal separately was a good idea, but there you go.

AFAIK, Danmakufu only saves data when you quit properly from the menu. Don't use alt-f4.
