Title: Need Help With UFO Stage 4
Post by: Alice on August 15, 2009, 04:54:37 PM
I'm playing UFO and can't clear stage 4 normal. Someone please post the replays so I can clear stage 4. Eventually, I always died at Captain Murasa first non spellcard attack and lost 2 or 3 lives when facing "a glowing ball" midboss. This is so depressing...

3-4 times really isn't enough "for most people", honestly

keep playing, you'll get there

I'll play it more.

In my opinion, UFO screen sometime become too crowded because of point items and power items. I think that also make UFO seems to be more difficult than SA or MoF.

it's mostly because of the way getting lives, bombs, and points works, otherwise it feels /easier/ than SA

Try Sanae B; since it makes a whole lot of the game extremely easier using the big spread with very high damage.  With Froggy Nuke you can just bomb past the spells you don't like most of the time anyway. Unless you're hell bent with beating it with the other shot types.

You shouldn't have to move a lot for either the midboss and Murasa's opener. I'm guessing you might be panicking ?

Any general tips for Marisa A? I do somewhat the first 3 stages, but fail utterly at this one. Also, is the midboss static?

Might be because of my X360 gamepad. I did a lot better using keyboard.

For the midboss, try and stay around 1/6th of the screen above the bottom.  You'll have far more time to react and not get trapped by the fairy bullets, at least for Normal.  The bullets won't really hit you either if you destroy the faries quickly.

First thing I thought when I saw it.

Then again, just about everything Byakuren does reminds me of other characters.

3-4 times should be enough for players accustomed to Normal mode, right?

Yeah, I can clear normal mode now but with keyboard. I guessed the problem is because XBOX360 left analog stick is too sensitive.

Try to use her unfocused attack when possible in stages 4-5 when there's lots of enemies flooding in, and do little movements to stream the bullets. I 1cc'd normal with Reimu A ok but I kept having trouble with Mari A for some reason. Unfocusing when applicable and concentrating on streaming bullets helped a lot.
