It's mostly static, but some of the waves are probably aimed in relation to you or something. Of course all that doesn't matter because this attack was made to unforgivingly punish anyone who dares to not have Reimu's hitbox. Yes, even knowing it's static, I've still managed to capture it about 3 times.

Oh, that one? It's easier on Lunatic then on Hard imo, because the walls actually move faster. =V I actually find it one of Marisa's EASIER non-spells. >_>

...What? brb, checking if it's just my mind playing tricks on me.

Oh, huh. it was my mind playing tricks on me. I think. Second endboss or second midboss? If midboss, then I thought it was easy, but...no. If endboss... lol@that attack.

Oh, but I still think the hard version of both the above mentioned attacks are harder on hard for some reason. >_>

We need a good name for this phenomenon, because it keeps coming up.

I like "Youmu Syndrome" because all but one of her nonspells are affected by this.

I think Kanako Syndrome is better, because the difficulty of Kanako's second non-spell, third non-spell, third spell card, and fourth non-spell (the second phase at least) get easier from normal to lunatic.

Krim already coined the term here; Hyperspeed Effect.

Also, I'm back. Horrible, horrible disconnecting internet again ;_;

HRtP Lunatic again. Didn't get time to finish off Heaven / Makai because of Elis.

Perfect Alice battle in PCB stage 3 Lunatic, one death on the pure shitstorm of impossible that occurs between Alice second midboss and Alice boss.

So close... ;_;

I want to break my computer after 10th+ attempt to do a normal run of MoF. I can rant about it for a whole page, but to save time i'll jut say this stage 4 is complete bullshit. Yes the whole stage. And Aya only makes it worse. Damn you, Aya with your stupid random crap. ARGH!!

Reached stage 8 in StB.
AH GOD WHY DO HALF OF THE BOSSES WANT TO WALL ME OH MY GOD

lmagus · « **Reply #848 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:12:10 PM »

ok so my first 5 or so tries in IN normal were horrible. I kept dying to Marisa
then yesterday i tried it once and got to 5th stage
today i realised death bomb doesn't work in stage parts, only during bosses fight, and decided to ignore it all together and bomb like i usually do in MoF
got to kaguya's last spellcard...

but then i died.. i survived for quite a while with no lives/no bombs...
next try i'll definitely finish it, except i don't feel like doing it now.

anyway i think the spell cards in this game are kinda... hard.. for normal mode...

Yukkuri · « **Reply #849 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:36:11 PM »

Death bombing works in the stage you just have a longer window in a boss fight. Are you using border team? It's really easy to death bomb with them.

Oh yes use spell practice.

One less Ran fan in the world.

The easiest scenes in Stage 8 may be 8-1, 8-2, and 8-6. I remember 8-8 being easy to pass (if not do well on), but I completely forgot how

8-3 is kinda cool if you understand the optical illusion.

You mean the one where Ran spawns those rectangles that shoot in three directions? (Up, Left and Right if I'm not mistaken)
And if that's not the illusion... Then what is it?

The illusion is that it looks like the boards going toward the center are taking a downward-slanted path (the background and the moving borders help with this). They're actually going straight left and right, like you said.

Once I realized that the card became remotely possible. It didn't stop my eyes from crossing trying to dodge them all, but nonetheless.

RAGE

every last boss always gets me pissed off

Kaguya is no different!

god damnit why can't i finish this game already, I got to her about 5 times already and still can't beat IN on Normal =/

LHCling · « **Reply #855 on:** July 28, 2009, 09:16:54 PM »

Many, many 1 miss (no bomb) Stage 6 MoF Lunatic runs this morning. They're all in weird places like, simple streaming Spell Cards (e.g. the 2nd last one). Or just "VoWG".

Her opener appears to have a generalized pattern which I can adapt to fortunately, so I don't have to die like 95% of the time any more. Now it's about 50%.

Because it's medium-density medium-speed medium-proximity spam. (spam, spam, spam)

It's more tolerable at lower rank, FWIW.

At max rank it isn't very fun.

I died twice to Sanae's last card. What is this I don't even.

Sapz · « **Reply #860 on:** July 29, 2009, 09:25:49 PM »

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

So it seems that somewhere during the transition to my new computer my SoEW save got erased, which means that I have to unlock and beat Extra again. WHAT FUN.

LLS and MS seem unaffected, which is nice, but also kind of strange...

Further rage: I attempted SoEW Hard. Didn't die on the first two stages, got to max lives near the beginning of stage 3, and then lost every single life during the rest of that stage. Goddamn clipdeaths.

Azinth · « **Reply #861 on:** July 30, 2009, 01:20:13 AM »

According to Donut, SoEW's lunatic isn't all that much harder than hard mode, so if you're going to put yourself through it, you might as well go all the way and do lunatic mode.

Anyways, I tried PCB stage 4 some more and... let me say this. I have a suspicion that Lunasa's second nonspell at Max Rank is 'Hardest in the Series' tier. Unfortunately I couldn't completely confirm this because I kept dying before I could get to the hardest wave. >_<

Well, the difference is that it's exactly the same patterns, but killing enemies spawns some (2 I think) bullets aimed at you, and bosses... well, they are exactly the same. :V
EDIT: Oh yeah, rage mode on. I'm on a fairly nice PoDD Hard run, and suddenly, I lose control of the left key in a weird way, forcing my character to move left all the time unless I press right.
Kana murdered me. RAGE.

Marvellous, isn't it? Red box denotes Aya's Spell Cards (at Lunatic).

~~What is wrong with me~~

EDIT: If you want the translated screen, do say.

EDIT 2: And do ignore the horrible Sanae record. I have a tendency to clip when I swap between Hard and Lunatic.

lmagus · « **Reply #864 on:** July 30, 2009, 02:00:13 PM »

Since I totally suck at IN's stage 5 and 6 and no matter how much I practice I can't get better at them, I'm trying to play unfocused the first 4 stages to score more and get their bonus spell cards which are pretty cool...

BUT I HATE MARISA OH MY GOD WTF.
I can't seem to lose less than 2 lives at her no matter what =(

Scooter1000 · « **Reply #865 on:** July 30, 2009, 03:13:22 PM »

A couple days ago, I decided to try and 1CC EoSD Normal.
This was my best run ever, with no deaths until stage 5, and I had 5 lives by the time I made it to Remi. I died on Remi's second card, and halfway through her third noncard, my computer decided to restart to install some updates. The worst part is that the updates were for Internet Explorer, which I don't even use.

Post Momizi(ji) BS-walls. Not enough firepower with ReimuA it seems. I might have to consider timing down to 10-12, instead of (normally) finishing at 14-16.

EDIT: Funnily enough, it also seems that I can do the middle-section (i.e. from 16 down) until the same point where I crash and burn if I were to end it from 14.

EDIT 2: ...so now I can do it with ReimuA. I'm baffled. Still, the fact that I have to "switchstream" in the middle of things is horrible.

EDIT 3: I like the look of this. 80% success rate of surviving post Momi-BS-waves.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #868 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:07:50 AM »

Now that I think about it, the post-Momizi BS waves are probably a lot easier with Reimu A than Reimu B. I know the strategy, I've even DONE it all the way through, but there seems to be an element of luck, or at least some timing that is impossible for humans to pull off consistently.

Does this count?

Well, I managed to pull it off with a bit more practice. Of course, this is beyond the "normal" time as it were (~16 for ReimuA not bombing). I still don't see how it would be easier with ReimuA, considering that homing damage does basically nothing to the fairies.

...and the timing? It's very humanly possible. In fact, I know the times, and can land on them fairly consistently. The luck factor in this case is not the "streams" of bullets, but actually the aimed bullets. Just an interesting fact that I noted after attempting to pacify Stage 4 SA.

EDIT: placeholder, since I cbf making another post I guess.

Perfect Stage 5 MoF Lunatic
