You know, your sarcasm kind of fades away on the second spellcard

Or both

I have a few Hard 1ccs and I can bomb-spam decently on Lunatic (SA or UFO stage 5, and a 1cc in IN or PCB), so I should be able to sail through MoF Hard, right? Right? I even did some VoWG Hard practice and captured it twice in a row, so I'm confident I can clear it with a bomb or two at worst...

Three 1cc attempts today ended on Kanako's third card, Kanako's fourth card, and Kanako's fourth non-card respectively, with mediocre scores of 300-450 million.

Most of those deaths were of the stupid "oops, I didn't see that bullet" variety... it feels like my brain can't focus enough to see the actual location and trajectory of bullets... I mean, how else would you fail Falling Leaves of Madness (Hard) for the first time...

Seriously can't play worth shit today. I got to Murasa with six lives. Six.

Uncle Zengeku · « **Reply #333 on:** July 25, 2010, 08:43:24 pm »

I'm in despair. I wonder when i'll get past Stage 4 in UFO?

I'm sure stage 3 is the culprit here. One death to the circular streaming phase at the end and one death to Ichirin's final non-spell embarassingly enough. I also had one death to Kogasa's final card which i still doesn't have a clue about how to beat. Its harder than any most stuff around Stage 5 and 6 for me. That can't be normal.

I also gotta stop choking on Stage 4 like that. I lost a life to the easy streaming part. Game overed on Sinkable Vortex. Why does this title have to be 10 times harder than usual?

Naut · « **Reply #337 on:** July 26, 2010, 04:49:25 am »

For fuck's sake. I'm gonna need some pre-bombing training soon. Also, Sanae A for a change. Haha at 00/01 history, Sanae can go fuck herself

Now I only had 3 hours of sleep last night and was not expecting to play this well today, but still.

Since the game was released i'd guess. If you don't know, moving to the right corner and dodging there makes things easier.

Phoenixma · « **Reply #339 on:** July 26, 2010, 02:02:52 pm »

So I tried PoFV again. Not much has changed.

Here's how each attempt went

Derp run of stage 1, restart
Reduce final boss Reimu to last life then game overed
Reduce final boss Reimu to last life then game overed
Game over to Komachi
Die 3 times to Aya then Game over to Komachi

Nothing changes. I'm not sure whether Shiki or Reimu is the harder final boss. They're both ridiculously hard to beat.

theshim · « **Reply #340 on:** July 26, 2010, 03:56:54 pm »

this wouldn't be nearly as enraging if it was my brain that couldn't keep up, rather than my goddamn reflexes being just a hair slower so I keep dying while KNOWING WHAT HIT ME AND KNOWING THAT I PUSHED THE NECESSARY BUTTON

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #341 on:** July 26, 2010, 06:52:39 pm »

So I perfected Stage 4 SA with very little effort on Normal. Why can't I beat Yuugi's final non-spell attack? I'm trying to perfect every stage in SA, but Stage 3 looks almost as inaccessible as Stage 5. Yeah, I'm pathetic.

theshim · « **Reply #342 on:** July 27, 2010, 04:18:13 am »

Perfect S1 on my first try? Only one death through S3? This could be the time!

Six lives at Satori!

Two lives at S5.

What the hell.

The remaining four deaths? Two with three power, two with four.

I am going to break something SO HARD.

Iryan · « **Reply #343 on:** July 27, 2010, 02:25:05 pm »

After having done an IN lunatic 1cc with Final A some days ago I thought I should try one with Final B now. After warming up with a little Remilia practice mode, I made my first attempt.

First stage perfect, my first death is on stage 4. I proceed to fail spectacularly on stage 4, going so far as to fail a deathbomb with border team, but considering how good I did on the first stages, it is still looking good for me. Stage 5 is okay and I enter Kaguya with 3 extra lives and 2 bombs.

Then it dawned upon me: I had never actually played Final B on lunatic! Actual lasers on Salamander Shield? Who knew? Still, through bomb abuse it all went ok. Then, with one spare life and zero bombs, I got to Hourai Jewel...

Do I need to say anything? Anything at all?

Neo Aemilius · « **Reply #344 on:** July 27, 2010, 02:38:26 pm »

EoSD normal stage 6

Before Remilia self - destruct, the continue screen appeared >.<

theshim · « **Reply #345 on:** July 27, 2010, 03:57:30 pm »

this "dying twice to BoWaP every run" really needs to stop

I was able to capture it fairly consistently, what is this crap

DgBarca · « **Reply #346 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:00:44 pm »

I tried UFO Hard for the first time...

Angel on the Steps · « **Reply #347 on:** July 27, 2010, 08:06:48 pm »

That was a pretty bad SanaeB Extra run (failed Kogasa's spinning wheel right as it cleared, died twice to the stage, clipped Snake Show, failed Rainbow UFO again, the one card I have yet to capture)... and then I clipped the survival right as it ended, and then this. Failing so badly takes some skill, I guess

Arcengal · « **Reply #348 on:** July 27, 2010, 09:17:34 pm »

*sigh* Another almost perfect run ruined by Grudge Bow.

That was SanaeB, but I've had very similar results with ReimuA (smaller hitboxes don't help much to prevent stupid deaths).

I've finally got a real PCB Lunatic 1cc, filled with border abuse and lots of dumb mistakes... I managed to reach Yuyuko 4/3 despite that, and proceeded to blow all those resources to get a dreadful 0/2 clear and not even 800 million. Oh, well, it's a clear at least and that leaves a lot of room for improvement?

Bananamatic · « **Reply #354 on:** July 29, 2010, 09:49:46 pm »

I was only afraid that you would break my MarisaA score

Funen1 · « **Reply #355 on:** July 29, 2010, 10:25:22 pm »

Seems like when it comes to me and VoWG, I always do well dodging stuff until I die, then everything falls apart. Latest attempt got to 73 seconds before dying, then I proceeded to die 6 more times before time ran out.

My 1st 1cc of that game only gave me 600 millions or so. Its not too bad. Just be happy you won.
