*captures Mikoto's first seven attacks consecutively*

*dies to Red Planet*

<Malkykitty> i just attempted a no-bombs run of eosd extra
<Malkykitty> result being, i succeeded in that...but because i just barely died to flandre's last attack
<Malkykitty> and only that
<Malkykitty> meaning that i could have perfected flandre scarlet
<Malkykitty> and now that's hanging over me
<Malkykitty> it's just...isn't that fundamentally backward?
<Malkykitty> like, i get a great achievement, the reaction should be "yay!" not "why couldn't i have done MORE"

Heh, sounds like what I did a while back.  Only I got walled off on Kagome Kagome and perfected the rest including 2nd ever survival capture and 1st ever QED capture.

I think that's a pretty normal reaction lol. That's what happened to me with PCB Extra. I did a no-bomb run and it ended up being something like 0M2BB, so I felt compelled to perfect the stage after that. You think to yourself "I was so close, so it's obviously within my capabilities!"

Anyways, I spent all day doing MoF Extra scoreruns, and unlike the previous 3 days, I was unable to get an improved score. I had several runs get to Suwako with good faith, but I always messed up somewhere (except one run which I finished, but it was not a great run and ended up being 969m). A couple deaths to Froggy Braves the Elements, one to Suwa Wars, one to Moriya's Iron Ring, one to Red Frog... I usually NEVER die at Red Frog, but I was trying a new method to get more faith from the card and of course I die for it. But the cream of the crop is the run where I rammed into Suwako after PoC'ing. Yeah. Don't even ask me how I managed that. Maybe I should just be satisfied with already having the best score on MotK...

>Game Overs on Scarlet Meister

Another golden opportunity lost. How much more am I going to have to work at this? I should have totally had this by now...

Not giving up, though.

[cactu]

I know that feeling Minogame, haha. You'll get it soon!

[Tsym]

Uh huh... So on a run through of SA Extra, I managed to perfect the stage, then die on Danmaku Paranoia, perfect everything else, then game over on Subterranean Rose. Yes. Game. Over. On Koishi's final card. And then I didn't even save the replay. What am I doing? Clearly Koishi's screwing with me.

EoSD LNB attempts that capture books and still don't clear are one of the few things in video games that can still frustrate me.

I swear this spell ranges from "Endless onslauhgt of deaths" to "Okay this is the easiest thing ever" every time it changes phases.
On a side note, I tried to 1CC SA on easy, to get a bit better. Managed to reach Okuu with 6 lives or so.

Oh hi Nuclear Tokamak, here, take all my lives, they're AAAAAAALL yours.

Seriously that spell can just go die in a fire. As if dodging wasn't enough, Okuu has to just sliiightly move away from me every time I try to shoot her.

[Yatakarasu]

I..I died to Mysterious Snake Show....WHAT?!  :getdown:
Also Nue, I swear if your first card clips me one more time I'm gonna chuck my laptop out the window.

So I tried some SA extra...So out of practice. I get through the stage pretty well, have to bomb a bit but I don't die, then I get to Koishi herself and....faceplant right into all the bullets. Her opener still scares the shit outta me. I used to be able to do it but I've just lost it. ID and Superego are still a big issue for me. Think I'll just work on hard for SA for a while.

[I have no name]

and now I can't even get an MoF lunatic no bomb run going >_>
I've died to Hina's first spell in 2 runs, double Momiji death once, double PWG death once, immediately faceplant midboss Nitori once...I just can't dodge anything any more.
I was so close to pulling it off too, why did I essentially forget how to play now of all times 

[Validon98]

Today is not the day for Extra runs.
Flandre kills me at Starbow Break. Suwako and Marisa's bigger hitbox don't mix at all. Elfin Mint just confuses me. And Suika (CtC) slowly wore me down until I died at her survival card because I had no idea the things surrounding her kill you. I haven't been trying Extra stuff in a while, but damn it, it feels terrible getting absolutely thrashed like that.

[chum]

Not a good run by any means, but Sanae stopped dead in her tracks even though I held down the up key. Game over.

Now I'm terrified of playing again. Need a better input device...

[an unmatched sock]

Tried UFO again. I managed to keep decent life count, at the expense of bombs. No real problems until Stage 4. Nue got me once, and Murasa drained me of a good 4 lives. With two and a fraction left, I got through most of Stage 5 ok. Lost two lives due to Nazrin tricking me with fake curvy lasers, and the last one to the bullet spam immediately afterwards.

Why is UFO so dang hard ;_;   I just wanna get the Extra stage...

[Wriggle]

- Attempted a Perfect SA Extra with scoring maneuvers after some time, but with MarisaB.

- Was doing very well, but upon reaching Genectics I had one of my periodic stomach aches.

- I leave, go elsewhere to relax, and then come back.

- I press Q (the key I remaped Z into), and the stage closes, because I apparently DISABLED AutoHotkey (with Ctrl+Shift+S) and didn't notice because of the stomach ache).

Why.

[Sakurei]

okay. I played PoDD for 2 months, all in all 50 hours, I'd estimate. pretty much all of them (minus some in the beginning) were done with chiyuri, bascially. since I had little success in clearing, I thought I'd try another character.

can't even fucking clear the game with mima. now, I believe mima isn't all that high level (afaik, somewhere high mid-tier) and her boss attacks are very dangerous due to tons of pellets, but you'd still thing after playing with chiyuri for 2 months, I could at least clear the game with a character that's not "low" tier.

played a game for 2 months and didn't improve one bit; watch me clear in 2018 when it's a basic 1cc /wrist

Spoiler:

I'm probably overreacting, considering I gave mima all of 1 try ever before this and I only played one credit, too. but it still agitates me for some reason

[Byaaakuren]

Resurrection Butterfly Lunatic

That is all

[Mino ☆]

Lost a PCB Lunatic NMNB on Resurrection Butterfly!

Borders were broken of course. But still!

Resurrection Butterfly Lunatic

That is all

[Zengeku]

How many border breaks are we talking about here? It's impressive regardless but I want to know how close you got to a NMNBNBB

[Zengeku]

<Zengeku> fuuuuuuuuu
<Zengeku> disappoint
<Zengeku> fucking useless
<Zengeku> 6MNB MoF
<Zengeku> Momiji capture and Hydro Camouflage capture and NMNB Aya included
<Zengeku> 2 deaths to streaming shit in Stage 4, one to Moses miracle, one to the big fairy that shows up in the middle of Stage 6, one to VoWG and one to Kanako's opener
<Zengeku> all of it fucking pathetic

[Oh]

I tried playing UFO and gamed over to Shou.
I swear the UFOs are evil they change colors every time when I try to get them.

[Jmyster]

I swear the UFOs are evil they change colors every time when I try to get them.

It's a well-documented conspiracy: The UFOs must change color at the last possible second before collection, especially when you need them. I've been there far too many times.

[BT]

I just imagine Nue fiddling around with a remote control every time that happens.

[Zengeku]

A horrible UFO Stage 3 run is defined as a run in which I fail to NMNB it. Having 10 of these in a row is fucking soul-crushing and pathetic. Please kill me.

I need this thing fucking consistent or it's all worthless. I can't afford more than 1 death before Stage 5 at worst. My god I'm horrible. 

[BT]

Try again tomorrow. Sometimes it works like that.

[Zengeku]

Yeah, you are probably right about that. I just tried a PCB LNB run and I had somehow managed to die 6 times before midboss Youmu. And considering that nothing difficult happens before Youmu something could indicate that my brain's just being a retarded mess right now. More than usual I mean.

[Oh]

Making progress on UFO Lunatic
Got to Byakuren 1/2
Gamed over to LFS red phase.
I captured DR and Superhuman when 0/0
I died to Magic Butterfly.

I'll get it eventually. Giving UFO 1 credit/day seems like something I can stick to.

[Oh]

I have sooo many 6-miss runs. Damnit. I want to get better.

[BT]

What were the deaths to?

[Oh]

books, patchy (2), sakuya last non, YDL, gensokyo.
I seriously need to stop dying to Patchy. I swear I could consistency no-miss her a while ago.
