When I hear that, I can already hear Reimu's bomb in my head.

What really sucks is the difficulty gap. Normal is doable for me with lives left even when I mess up a lot, the Extra isn't exactly hard either, but once you switch to Hard, the difficulty almost doubles.

So yea... I haven't played for about 2 weeks due to high school-are you supposed to get this much work? I've gotten about 3 projects to do, a shitload of HW, 4 tests and 2 quizzes already. There's probably a lot more but I just tried to play UFO without restarts due to lack of time. So yea... I just failed to get past stage 3.. nice....

Same from Easy to Normal IMO. I can no-death Easy mode, but I can't 1cc Normal >.<

EoSD Extra... I have a mental barrier now I'm sure of it. Midboss Patchy is no problem save for one definite bomb on Philosopher's Stone, and a bomb on Silent Selene maybe 1/5 times. I have my pattern down for Royal Flare finally and it's now cake

Rest of the stage blah blah, sometimes I bomb once just because... Then Flandre... Ok all of her nonspells are cake... Cranberry Trap is easy now that I have the pattern down... Laevatain is easy now too and I don't die stupidly on it anymore... Four of a Kind is like her easiest spell card other than Cranberry Trap...

Then in comes Kagome, Kagome. I go W T F. It's like Silent Selene part 2 but with simultaneous spawning bullets to worry about, and I sometimes lose focus and clipdeath it. After that is Maze of Love. I seems fairly simple, but I won't pass judgment on it yet since I've only faced it like 5 times. I think it's going to be fairly doable though.

Then I lose my two last lives on the next spell card? 3 bombs unused? COME ON!!

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

Ahaha, I forgot the fire-using one was named Yuki. I thought, y'know, ZUN'd give the name that means "snow" to the one that fights with ice magic. :V
But yeah, Mai (or whichever one uses the god damned laser) is much worse.

I see a lot of people - even some of the pros - taking Kagome Kagome from the bottom of the screen, but I find taking it from the center - more precisely, from inside the little rectangular "box" that forms near the center - a lot easier.

I haven't tried that yet. I don't go to the bottom bottom, more like around the area where the first horizontal line of green danmaku form.

Zengeku · « **Reply #248 on:** October 08, 2009, 08:07:42 AM »

How would you go about making Kagome Kagome easier anyway? The only thing that can go wrong is you getting screwed over and isn't that easier higher up the screen?

LHCling · « **Reply #249 on:** October 08, 2009, 10:43:09 AM »

"So, which one do you suck at doing the most?"

For those of you who can't read the moonrunes, the highlighted Spell Cards are the Satori-Yukari ones (in this case, it's at Lunatic).
It's also really, really strange that I can do them near-perfectly on Hard too.

From experience, I see if it will bullshit me a few moments earlier if I'm higher up, and you also have to deal with less "grid" bullets passing through you since more than half of it crumbles below your position or just passes harmlessly to your sides, compared to what you get at the bottom. Basically you only have to pay attention to the large bullets Flandre fires, the grid becomes almost a non-threat.

Decided to make a quick upload of how I do Kagome Kagome, I don't really understand what's easier about staying in the middle, you have less room

Meh...

Perfect run of SA Normal until stage 5, which I managed to reach with 8 lives
Entered stage 6 with 4 lives, died for the FIRST TIME at mid-boss Orin... Dear god I always capture that and i died now... Proceeded to reach Utsuho's last card with 2/2.0

Died without bombing... used all 3 bombs, died again... used all 4 bombs, died again =(

Made me very sad when I died and utsuho had less than 5% life remaining... I really can't dodge those small bullets and the red ones at the same time... I had to bomb at EVERY small white bullet wave =(

UFO Normal.

I HATE MURASA ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, I'm that bad I don't even need to worry about 5th stage...

Bananamatic · « **Reply #256 on:** October 08, 2009, 06:54:05 PM »

wait there are actually people which enjoy StB?
It's a terrible game. Repeating patterns, stupid character(too fast or too slow)

One of the things I hate the most in games is perfection. And StB is basically 100% that.

Not to mention that all of the stages have maybe 3 themes total. Total brainwashing after trying to clear one stage for over an hour.

There are 4 stage themes, 5 if you count Wind God Girl for 10-8. The speed and gameplay are just something to get used to. There are many different interesting spellcards in the game, several of which ZUN considered good enough to reuse for Satori, and others which require clever use of you bullet removing camera or acknowledgement of how a pattern works to beat them. Because of that, it has a larger puzzle element than the rest of the games, but that isn't really different from the extra bosses where usually half the spellcards require or are made very easy by the use of a trick.

So yeah, it is different, but it is still a fun game.

Hmm, maybe I should give it a try again, I still haven't cleared all scenes. I stopped when I finally beat Kaguya's infamous Ceiling attack... took only ~ 900 tries...

Ok, I think I can see why many people don't like the game. :V But it is not a bad game, nontheless.

On Topic: Yes, I think I really do have lost all my selfmade danmakufu scripts. Definitely worth a red UFO invasion.

lmagus · « **Reply #258 on:** October 08, 2009, 07:58:45 PM »

I enjoy StB

I haven't played much but I have opened stage 5 which made me happy.

The game is still too difficult for me but I got a nice feeling once I completed the scenes =)

Garlyle · « **Reply #259 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:42:10 AM »

I haven't touched StB in a while, but I do love it. Although later on it starts turning to bullshit (Meiling. 250+ tries on 5-5, I think it was...)

Anyway, so, err... I've forgotten how to NOT scorerun on UFO.

I was trying to play for survival to 1cc w/Marisa terriBad, BUT NO. Let's run in and graze Metal Detector! Wait out ichirin's nonspells for Graze! Spend stage 5 trying with Blue UFOs when dear god I'm about to fight Shou WHY AM I NOT GATHERING MORE LIVES I ONLY HAVE TWO *Thwack* ONE LEFT.
AND THEN I SWEAR I WAS PRESSING GODDAMN BOMB WHEN I GOT HIT D:

Sadly I still managed to outdo my current Normal record score by about 50 mil, and that was a 1cc. But I didn't even want to. ARGH.

Solais · « **Reply #260 on:** October 09, 2009, 11:04:55 AM »

So, after some half of a month, or maybe a month of non-play, I try practicing SA Normal. I mean after so much grinding I've earned that I can finally practice Stage 5. So, I beat Orin in Practice mode. With zero lives left. WHATTHEHELL??? I can't even keep 8 lives in a single stage??? I've really gotten that bad??? I sorta lost my interest in 1ccing this game's Normal at all. I rather try some Extra Stages that I haven't beaten yet. Those are FAR easier than SA.

It's really strange that the only game where I can't 1cc Normal is my favorite.

Tsym · « **Reply #261 on:** October 09, 2009, 12:31:01 PM »

Oh my God I hate Shou so much. I got to Flying Fantastica with 0/0... why? Because I lost 4 lives on Shou and 1 accidentally on midboss Nazrin. BOOO.
And I got it down to half health before dying T_T

My friend kicks my ass all over the place at this game.

Remilia is all over the damn place and Komachi covers a football field with each attack.

FUCKFUCKFUCKDAMMIT

I just perfected PCB Extra all the way up to and including Kokkuri-San's contract. My heart is beating really really fast and I start to panic/worry that I'll mess up. Izuna Gongen then kills me twice. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD GODDAMNIT ARGHHHH

Replay since the rest of the run is still pretty good, I guess.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #264 on:** October 09, 2009, 03:35:46 PM »

Makes me wonder how the hell is Kokkuri-san harder than Boundary of Humans and Youkai. :V
Other than that and a stage clip it would be a no death run.

EDIT: Completely forgot Yukari's frogger pattern and broke my perfect history of Xanadu of Straight and Curve.

Mystic Square Extra is clearly the greatest-designed stage in the series. Where else can you find red bullets that look exactly like the big power items
