We're not playing by the rules anymore. Apparently Ichirin doesn't find it necessary to fire bullets at me no more, instead she goes all dirty tricks and fucking rams me when I'm not paying attention to her. B|

So I'm playing PCB normal. I've managed to get to stage 5 without losing a life. This looks like it's shaping up to be my best run so far...
And my computer dies.
No warning, nothing at all. Just the screen suddenly going black and the engines winding down.
Graaaaaaaaah!

your computer could be overheating. Check the inside for dust.

Actually I found out later that it was one of those stupid microsoft updates. Since I was playing in fullscreen, the countdown didn't appear.

Lunatic Keine is pretty grating.

Same goes for Marisa though.

Buu · « **Reply #36 on:** May 02, 2012, 03:28:30 PM »

Whenever I choose an option after finishing a level e.g. save the replay or return to title, SA crashes. Fucking Windows, I'm fucking fed up with this OS.

Thank you for not saving my stage 5 Hard MarisaA replay.

PoFV Normal with Youmu:

Stages 1-7: no deaths (yes, I didn't die to Aya, though it was quite tense)
Stage 8: 1 death (better than expected)
*Enters Shikieiki with 3 lives remaining*
I swear to god, Shikieiki has the most insane survival time ever, especially when she's down to 1/2 dot.
Round I: Messed up real badly, let's not talk about this one.
Rounds II-III: Shikieiki goes down to 1/2 dot every time before I do, and yet... I die first.
Round IV: Shikieiki goes down to 1/2 dot. I was at 3 health dots, I believe. I charge for a spell attack, and get hit in the process, bringing me down to 1/2 dot. Guess what happens? The charge meter doesn't fill at all because I already unleashed my spell attack. As a result, I died 5 seconds later. Game over.

I had three chances to get the 1cc on this attempt, and I burned them all.

...God dammit.

Replay

This run had some really what-worthy dodges.

This is why you disable those and do them manually :V. It saves a lot of headaches.

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #41 on:** May 03, 2012, 09:59:16 PM »

What the-

Not only did I panicbomb the first wave of Nightmare of Heiankyou, leaving me no resources with which to use as insurance against the card, but I died at 00.17

And this is after a near-perfect (read: not Undefined or Rainbow) Nue fight

Buu · « **Reply #42 on:** May 03, 2012, 11:15:08 PM »

Garblghghkfg I had only Shou's last spell to boot and then I would have captured all of her spells on Hard in one run.

I died at the first wave of her last spell.

FML.

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #43 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:42:50 AM »

My dad moved our OS.

So I got to start Ten Desires over :V

I beat Miko, only dying twice in the whole run, I think.

Extra stage!
First try back- in fact, all of the card histories are out of one.

No-death stage, Nue, and Mamizou up to False Exorcism, which was an instance where I trapped myself between her and a wall.

And then I died three times to Mamizou Danmaku.

There are no words to express how angry this makes me.

I still beat the stage, after choking epically at the final bit of Full Moon, but still

Hello Forgotten Hitbox Detection

Kogasa, how many times will you have me restart without even getting to your actual fight?

BT · « **Reply #45 on:** May 05, 2012, 10:54:18 AM »

That's it.

I'm done.

My decision-making during runs is AWFUL.

I NEVER do the things I plan out.

I NEVER bomb when I'm supposed to.

I NEVER take gambits at the right places.

I ALWAYS die when I take 'easy' risks.

My throat is sore from all the screaming I went through.

I need a "Like" button for this seriously. Cause you will usually find me losing all my lives without using a single bomb. Also I take a lot of risks like running through a spellcard unfocused.

DIE

That took me literally A THOUSAND MOTHERFUCKING ATTEMPTS. AND THE GAME HAS TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY BY BEING A BUGGY PIECE OF ABSOLUTE FUCKING SHIT.

And now I have to do this stupid shit AGAIN, just for the sake of having something to show for my pointless endeavours.

Can anyone at least impart some fucking wisdom on how this stupid bug even occurs so I can avoid if I capture it on the next one thousand fucking attempts.

That's why you freestyle whenever possible.

* Weeabuu hides

In all honesty I'm no better. When I plan out beforehand I forget doing it in the heat of the moment. I just follow my intuition and decide on the spot.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- You can't see just how pissed I am right now. SA Extra went all the way to Subterranean Rose. I decide to take it safe and just time it out from the start, but before I even get past the first ring, died. I managed pretty well through ID and Super-Ego, but ughhhhhh! I was *this* close to clearing it... @@

After about a hundred failed attempts playing EoSD, I finally made it to Red Magic on Normal with Reimu B in a fairly solid (albeit bomb-happy run). And what happens? Just as the spell card is dissolving - just as I'm about to beat the damn game - I get caged in and hit by a bullet, taking my very last life. ARGKLJS:DLFKHS:DH

I think I'll take a break for now - I don't think I can use this laptop with a hole punched clean through the screen anyway. Haha, who am I kidding, I'll just beat my head against this for the next few days until either I win or go insane.

Piranha · « **Reply #53 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:07:11 PM »

Just had a pretty good run at IN Normal FinalA after 1cc'ing FinalB, and my keyboard decided it would be a cool idea to lock my down key just as I was facing midboss Eirin... :fail:

I could only go up if I was moving vertically. :V

Edit: EIRIN, STOP KILLING ME ON THE LAST SECONDS OF ASTRONOMICAL ENTOMBING, FFS. Entered Stage 6 with 6/1 and didn't even clear, damnit...

Buu · « **Reply #54 on:** May 06, 2012, 08:55:01 PM »

Almost reached Legendary Flying Saucer on Lunatic, literally a centimeter of health was left of Hijiri to finish off Superhuman Byakuren. Not that this was still in the 1cc, nope. I got to her second spell IN my 1cc but then I spent the past hour grinding this shit with practically no visual progress. This is fucking bullshit. How people can perfect this crap is beyond me but unless I don't practice this hours for hours for hours on end non-stop 24/7 which I fucking don't intend to do (goddamn I wanna have a real life as well), I'm not going to bother with this any further. Not that I could practice stage 6 on its own whenever I would like to either. Nooo, the game wants me to finish it in the arcade mode first before I can carry on "practicing" it.

Fuck this shit, I choose what's left of my sanity instead of beating this POS.

You can tell how mad I am. :V

Karisa · « **Reply #58 on:** May 06, 2012, 11:34:52 PM »

I'm not one to rage about things, but seriously, it seems only 1 in every 30-50 of my attempts at UFO Extra without dying or bombing even reach Nue. My attempt count for Kogasa's first card is up to 500 (and I've only captured it half the time for some reason, even though it isn't that hard). Kogasa's second card might be the hardest card in the stage, and the stage portion a little after her has also killed me plenty of times (at least I get to bomb that if I decide to go for score in this stage).

Then on the few attempts I reach Nue, I always seem to die on Undefined Darkness (that and Rainbow UFO are the only other real contenders for hardest card in the stage). That is, if I don't end up randomly running into a bullet earlier than that. (Meanwhile, I seem to have a surprisingly high rate of capturing Undefined Darkness on the attempts where I did randomly run into a bullet earlier than that.)

Somehow I get the feeling that whenever I do make it past Undefined Darkness, I'm going to get killed by Nightmare of Heiankyou or something. UFO is like that, isn't it?

I have no name · « **Reply #59 on:** May 07, 2012, 03:49:25 AM »

So I just dodged Kanako's opener again, captured everything up until her 4th spell...and died to it. and the deathwave cleared it.
I then proceed to have my WORST VoWG in months, dying twice before timer starts going down.
While trying to capture it.

So unfair...
