I decided to try out MoF Hard.

Stage 1, Perfecto~
Stage 2, derp mistake on midboss leading to a death with full power. Kept going.
Stage 3, no deaths~
Stage 4, No deaths during stage, but OH MY GOD AYA.
Stage 5, 2 deaths from running out of power. Walls, walls~

I reach Kanako with 2 lives, full power. And then I forgot to dodge her first spellcard. After making it to her final spell with no lives, 3.60 power, I lose on VoWG with about an inch of health left on the bar.

AUUUUGH HOW DID I FORGET TO MOVE ON HER FIRST CARD AND DIE FULL POWER

Yuugi on Hard killed my 1cc.
I hate Guerrilla Typhoon for a reason.....and Mt. Ooe isn't any different.
Bombed all 3 midboss attacks, screwed up on stage, died on Mt. Ooe because I've had no power and stupidly clipped her final card.

I can't believe it! I finally capture cranberry trap and I proceeded to kick ass and chew bubble gum, then on counter-clock with 1 live left, I capture the card and I was a little eager with moving up on the 3rd wave (with straight balls)... turned out the balls weren't so straigth towards the top. so I lose my last life and I needed used all my bombs on And then there were None so I had nothing left on Q.E.D.

You can't fucking get any closer than what I did without actually winning. I demand my extra 10 million, a replay, and a big fat 1 on the spell counter for Q.E.D.

I even had a high score, but was so appalled I didn't save the replay.

SoEW
what the FUCK is that

the stage 2 midboss is impossible with ReimuC
the boss walls you and throws shit point blank with a -1 minute deathbomb timer
the third boss has the most unfair lasers I've seen
the 4th boss has undodgeable balls

also Mystic Square
the stages are WAY TOO DAMN LONG
and stage 4 bosses=what the hell
I've lost FOUR LIVES THERE
That's 2 times more than on Shinki....

Oh my god, yes. You are completely correct, MS Stage 4 boss fight is the worst designed fight ever. Yuki in particular is what makes it so damn stupid, Mai isn't that bad on her own.

Mai is worse when they're together IMO :V That stupid laser of hers is what makes their second phase a nightmare x.x

pro tip: move away from laser

I like the Yuki/Mai battle, to be honest. Much better than the Prismrivers since it's an actual 2-vs-1 while the Prismrivers 3-vs-1 cards are just clusterfucks.

You want real visibility issues? Play UFO stage 5. As Sanae B. Insane numbers of fairies coming on the screen, shooting random bullets everywhere, exploding while the splash from your shots kill them... It's not really something that can be described, but... Oh god...

Re: Touhou RAGE Thread: Volume III
« Reply #230 on: October 07, 2009, 03:26:33 AM »
Visibility issues?  Play as MarisaA in UFO.  God her familiars makes reading bullets in front of you ridiculously hard.  It's especially difficult on Shou's final spell card :(

Edit: God damn it!  Why do I die on Laevatain now???  I have Silent Selene down most of the time, Royal Flare I almost have perfected, Philosopher's Stone is still more or less an auto bomb, but LAEVATAIN???  That just blows my mind.

At least I've perfected Cranberry Trap now.  I can't believe how trivial it is :D

So i decided to try MS Extra. I knew i was supposed to be ready for an abusively bad pre-boss stage like with all other extra stages and having to go through it several times because of having to figure out boss patterns.

I just didn't know that Alice cheats. A lot of her attacks revolve around cheap techniques like a flashing background for example.

And sure thing, there is going to be some attacks i initially won't be able to handle because i don't know how they work. Add to that, its PC-98 so i won't have the generosity of death-bomb or a visible hit-box.

Maybe i should just forget all about PC-98 altogether. That would be more healthy for me. ZUN was probably less experienced back then.

I've done the extras just for completion.
SoEW is just unfair, MS gives way too little lives(I can barely 1cc Normal with 6 lives default, plus the stage 4 boss is just stupidly hard) and I haven't played LLS all that much.

I find the PC-98 stages way too long as well.

Well, i don't think i can collect the masochism to do so. Playing through the stage is just a chore and and the lack of windows features makes the entire affair pretty dreadful.

I have so far only made it to the phase with the homing snakes. Did beat it but got obliterated by the following phase.

The fire spell is sometimes pretty simple and other times i just die for some reason, probably a pretty lame one. (The latter deeming another dreadful playthrough of the stage, no mistakes allowed.)

Then there is the streaming spell similar to the one Sanae uses. I hate it. I can't see when it ends because its PC-98 and while i can do it most of the time, its just stressful and feels terrible to play.

Another attack worthy of complaining about is the one where she shoots a lot of lasers at you and then as the attack progresses fills small bullets within the gaps. That attack sucks sooooooooooo much.

Then there is the snake attack. I've seen videos. I know what to do, but i can't seem to pull it off. At least i can take it out with two bombs.

Whatever you are supposed to do with the one following it i have no clue about.

Oh and the final attack looks like the biggest piece of garbage trash ever. Looks like something that wouldn't really be that hard if it weren't for the garbage flashy background.

Considering how i'm no completist, not intested in dedicating myself to anything as well as not fond enough of PC-98. I've got other things to do with my life so i'm through with PC-98 from now on. I might take a casual playthrough of LLS or MS Normal but that's the end of that.

The fire spell is easy if you are directly under her, but it sometimes forces you to go to the side.....and when that happens, good luck :V

And yeah, the last pattern is way too damn long. I've captured both of Gengetu's finals, yet Alice's is much longer and much harder. I've even died once right when she exploded.

As a lover of the PC 98 games, I must protest. They're quite fun, and certainly not as bad as you're making them out to be. LLS and MS especially feel very much like EoSD do (although you may not like EoSD either). The MS EX stage is all about practise, practise, practise. Streaming the early bullets can net you a lot of points, MS's extra life system requires scoring so you can aim to net a few extra 1ups this way, but the extra stage is really not much different from any other, you'll need lots of practise to get through it without dying/bombing a whole bunch.]

This one's even easier to do than her opener since it's all simple streaming, then misdirecting her before moving in the other direction. Actually, I think it's easier than Sanae's, once you get the timing down.

You're jumbling the two separate purple laser phases into one. The first phase is all streaming, just tap to the sides to avoid the fast lasers, then keep tapping through the smaller bullets to avoid the beams.

The second phase where she spams lasers and bullets is one of her harder ones, especially if she fires while moving, so don't be surprised if you have to bomb/die on it, it can take a bit of luck.

Quote
Whatever you are supposed to do with the one following it i have no clue about.

While I tend to hide in the bottom corners and weave through the shots, the player in the video I linked stays in the middle with Mima, squeezing through the bullets. If you can get the positioning right, this might be the quickest way to end it.

Oh and the final attack looks like the biggest piece of garbage trash ever. Looks like something that wouldn't really be that hard if it weren't for the garbage flashy background.

It's probably her nastiest attack, and not due to the background. As it progresses, it speeds up, which is what makes it difficult. The only thing you can do about it is reach it with bombs/lives to spare, I've lost track of how many times I died against her while she had a sliver of health left before I finally managed to beat her.

A good video of the boss fight located here.

seriously
that game DOESN'T FUCK AROUND

it's cool on normal

but on Hard
WHAT THE FUCK

I lose 3 lives on Kogasa. Stage 3 walls me like nothing before.
First retarded brofist card. Captured it on Hard just now and it was like dodging 3 Starbow Breaks at once while having shit fly around to obscure the view and the bullets don't just fall. They MOVE.
All of the brofist cards. I can't capture ANYTHING
It's just plain BULLSHIT

Shou has atleast 2 remotely capturable cards(2nd and last)

Cloudy Way in Purple
what the HELL
are you SHITTING ME

SA was that cool level of hard

but UFO
NO
JUST NO ZUN

were you tripping while making Kogasa?
do you really have to make 2 of the 3 spellcards uncapturable by an average mortal?(when lucky enough)

DAMNIT. I burnt myself out on EoSD Extra, trying too many scorerun attempts in too short a period of time, and as such I haven't played it much in the last few days and now I'm not going to get my target in time for the end of the tournament. ;_;

@Bananamatic: Yeah, when it says Hard, it means Hard. Of course, if you really want some nightmares, give Lunatic a go. :V Kogasa is a LOT harder, Stage 3 will wall you even more, every Byakuren card becomes really really fast, and... Vajira of Perfect Buddhism. Basically,
