While I was doing a random anime-inspired stage 6 run in PCB, I came upon a sudden brilliance of trying to do resurrection butterfly by passing through the red butterflies before they expand (I'm pretty sure it's not a new idea, but I never tried doing it before). After a couple of practices, I managed to get the it mostly down that I can pass the red butterflies basically 99% of the time, so I decided to pull together a capture.

Attempt #1: I got hit by a blue butterfly at about wave 6 or 7.
Attempt #2: I got hit by a bubble with 2 seconds left on the clock.
Attempt #3: I flew right into a blue butterfly on wave 2, while trying to collect items.
Attempt #4: Normal screwing up a red butterfly wave
Attempt #5: Faceplanted into a blue butterfly again

I'm going to try again later. My arms are tired. (At least I managed a random Demon World capture)

EDIT: Apparently, ranting here is constructive somehow.

The time I sat there and let the ghostly tails catch me during Ghost Butterfly in a PCB run. Which was just the latest mistake in a very messed up run I'd been having, including suiciding into fairies, and messing up a redirection trick I saw for Youmu's opener because my friend picked that moment to call me on the phone and I had to pause to take it just after hitting the button to end the dialog and start the fight.

And then there was a separate time where I crashed stupidly during Alice's first boss nonspell. I usually perfect the Alice fight and in the rare instance that I fail anything it's her next to last spell.

I've just missed one last fairy before Momiji and she shoot me from behind the bottom of the screen :]

Going back to EoSd after a month of IN really makes you realise that you do rely on deathbombing a bit. I've stopped dodging carefully and I keep running into things...whatever, I'll try to fix this.

Was doing a run of Imperishable Night with Magic team, the one team I haven't gotten around to 1 CC'ing the game with yet. I made it to stage 4, and made it to the midboss, no problem. I began reading the dialogue because I haven't played IN in a while, and was absent-mindedly flying around the screen... and run right into Reimu and die. I had no idea that she had a hitbox during the dialogue, because pretty much everyone else doesn't. And I had 4 bombs.

Oh, boy, flailing around TD Stage 1 Lunatic trying to spiritswhore the stage enemies :V

On the bright side, I've (sort of) worked out a route to max out the Trance gauge right after that one fairy with the blue circles before the wave before the midboss.

Ross · « **Reply #906 on:** February 11, 2012, 07:55:32 PM »

Welp. In Great Fairy Wars, I was trying to 1cc normal in order to unlock the fourth route. I was going through the third route and I was on the last boss, and the final bullet that they shot hit me and killed me, and the last bullet I shot hit them and destroyed them, but I died first and used a continue. Oh, not to mention that my motivation was literally at 99%.
...
Welp.

Skyler · « **Reply #907 on:** February 11, 2012, 09:09:34 PM »

I just did a run of IN Easy to unlock some spellcards for spell practice.
Death to Keine's second nonspell.
Deathbomb to Stardust Reverie.
Deathbomb to Idling Wave. That was by far the most embarassing.

Ran into Yukari right before she faded out for Danmaku Bounded Field. Yes, I ran right into Yukari.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #909 on:** February 12, 2012, 02:55:04 AM »

I somehow died during Bewitching Butterfly.

I still have no idea what I hit. And it was during the transition between phases too.

It took me a while to understand this. I though you meant Ran Yakumo. :V

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #911 on:** February 12, 2012, 10:25:52 AM »

I'm trying to capture Hourai Elixir on lunatic.

Every time I get past the first phase - which is about every ten attempts. The pattern is just horribly dense and fast, making it rather hard to read -, I make some idiotic mistake. Such as running into a laser during the easy circling phase.

And when I finally get past the "green criss-crossing phase" (It's fourth phase for me), which forces me to do some really wicked dodges and seems rather.. dense, I misread my hitbox and die at 17 seconds of card left. During the breather, that isn't really dense or fast. Great work there, me.

Maybe I'll one day get past the EASY BREATHER OF DOOOOOM, and finally see what the final phase looks like.

While I'm more of a "Yukari into Reimu"-person, even I got the hint. Ran has those tails, you know. ; )

Try dodging the greens from the corner.

I died to Remilia's first spell. With 4 bombs in stock.

Ah, yeah, I am doing that.

It's still quite one, with... uhh.. double density and all.

Ah.
Didn't realize you were playing ultra mode.
(which, btw, I haven't been able to get working for EoSD or IN-every other game it works fine for. both games were installed off of a CD)

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #916 on:** February 12, 2012, 03:18:04 PM »

For IN you have to delete the english patch to make it work. At least so it was in my case.

"Let's no-death Remilia on Normal!"
*dies to second nonspell*
*dies to Scarlet Netherworld*
*dies to Scarlet Shoot*
*finishes with 0 resources*

LeviLamprey · « **Reply #918 on:** February 13, 2012, 05:12:56 AM »

Hey, you know what? I have a sudden urge to play IN Easy with Reimu solo, and practice minimising focus usage!
*does not die to a single spell*
*ends up deathbombing about 12 times*

Elysia · « **Reply #919 on:** February 13, 2012, 09:55:30 PM »

Hey let's forget Hell and Heaven Meltdown exists and try to no-vertical SA Normal.

Hmm.. Jade did it on easy. It's actually bomb-away attack if no vertical, isn't it?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #921 on:** February 14, 2012, 12:13:12 AM »

It's possible, but you pretty much have to get to Utsuho with max lives to deal with everything that becomes BS with no vert. It's the same thing with IN No Vert where you have to play near perfectly just up to Reisen, and it can still go wrong.

I dunno how it goes on normal, but on easy it's just the last two attacks that matter. See this or this replays.

Shouldn't 4 bombs neuter it if you keep following her around?

BT · « **Reply #924 on:** February 14, 2012, 07:10:14 PM »

I just played EoSD Extra for the funsies, only to find out that I've vastly improved from last time.

And that I've forgotten what a hitbox was, apparently.

I'm pretty sure that's what failing to 3 of her non-spells and Kagome Kagome means, anyway.

Arent MariAri bombs extremely deadly when used point blank? Or it's just the matter of their short invincibility time?

Zil · « **Reply #927 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:37:04 PM »

He can't point blank if he's doing no vertical.

Oh lol forgot about that. Well, then she's not the best character to do this. Maybe it's better to choose either Reimu or Marisa C like jade did in his easy runs. One because of strong bomb, another - because of her bomb may be used as border. Though in that run with MarisaC he barely ran out of resources at the end, so Reimu C looks more appropriate.

ReimuC has a good bomb for no horizontal, but in a no vert challenge it's not very strong or useful, ReimuA is far superior there. Did anyone beat SA Easy no horizontal yet btw?
