I am getting way too good at failing with less than 5 seconds left on something.
In the past week alone, I lost the following with less than 5 seconds to go:
3 PoFV extra attempts
2 IN 90 FPS extra attempts (around 1 more second on one of them...)
1 no focus MoF extra attempt
1 first round normal Komachi (as far as I could tell, Lily had shown up there and I had just sent a Level 4 off spell points)

and on top of that, I have failed UFO hard with 5 lives going into Byakuren due to  derping the second nonspell (game over with ...you guessed it, LESS THAN 5 SECONDS TO GO)
Thankfully I've never experienced the RAAAAGE that is a double KO...outside of TD spell practice.

GRRRRR. ESTOY ANGRY.

Nothing quite like a perfect Extra stage run with 210,000,000+ points crashing down in Koishi's first two lives >:(

Also the last two frames of that smiley is ass

The smirk ruins the last two seconds of visual angry

Been there, done that, best of luck getting it.
MarisaB gave me an inordinate amount of trouble in UFO.
RAAAAGE at adding a third 90 FPS IN extra fail at Hourai Doll, and also a double death to Mokou's first card...and also me being unable to do Keine all of a sudden...
and now a fourth Hourai Doll failure: this one has me faceplanting a yellow...with about 5 seconds left!

Okay, I seriously think SA Extra on Ultra is impossible. Apparently the ultra patches have a sense of irony by turning the easiest Ex boss into the hardest. :)
I managed to get to Embers of Love where she turns the entire screen into a death zone. Not to speak of her non-spells... at least there are some attacks that have been made cooler and more challenging but apparently they are mostly just impossible. What a shame.

Ultra Subterranean Rose is fucking impossible. If you can actually get up to Embers of Love without cheating, you are a god.
Also I think it's possible to do her nonspells. You just have to follow a path created by the faster bullets while avoiding the slower ones. Keep in mind that this involves circling around Koishi.

Yeah, I guess perhabs the non-spells are possible. Just not with the conventional approach... even then it might be possible for those that doesn't use the jellybeans but just very unplausible.

Did a blind run and got to embers of love. Most of the spellcards up to that point seem doable though the nonspells....

I think I'll take a few more stabs to it.

Ugh, WHY is "Protection of Zenki and Goki" so impossible without a homing type? I'll never get to Yukari with more than 2 lives if I continue to die twice to that card.
IMO Ran is harder than Chen when you're not using Sakuya A or Reimu A. Half the time I don't even see what kills me on her first card. Chen's is easier because you can stream down and she actually takes damage from your bombs.

It shouldn't be hard at all. Just stream left and right until the card ends. Do you have a replay to show how you're doing it with a non-homing shot?

EDIT: Died twice on Resurrection Butterfly. Ugh, I hate being rusty.

I'm streaming it from left to right but I always end up screwing up somehow. I think it's just showing how much I suck at this game because I can't dodge the random stuff and stream at the same time.
I would post a replay but for some reason I can't find the replay folder in my PCB folder.

Well, it isn't exactly 'streaming,' more like 'slow herding movement...'
You have to be far enough to dodge the bubbles, yes, but also be far enough to not be nicked by the bullets that decide to change direction too late.

But I don't like using Remilia...
Also at 60 FPS, I finished with 1 life left with Scarlet and Magic teams, and I've finished with 3 lives left with each Ghost and Border teams (Ghost team had a bomb left too)
Also, with Border team I can dodge the first couple nonspells, allowing me to save my bombs for where I'm more likely to need them0like Fujiyama Volcano.

I used to have skills at Apollo 13...

... they are gone now.

---- As most of my posts in this thread in recent time, its not as much rage but a recording of my own personal failures. And failing at Apollo 13 three times in a row at the first wave of bullets and only managing 7 captures out of 30 attempts is not good enough for me. Its a good card though. I can only blame my own lack of shmupping skills and lack of attention.

Furthermore, my Eirin performance is really really bad. Not as bad as Kaguya but I'm messing up in places I shouldn't. I'd call that pretty natural though seeing as I've never really played Eirin that much. Except in spell practice. I didn't expect her to spawn bullets on my hitbox... and Omoikane's Brain is really fucking lame. However, 1 lame and 3 good ones and 1 throw-away one is still better than 3 lame ones and 1 good (BDB and 1 that rolls dice (Buddha)

I will be playing some more to develop my performance!

That happened to mine a couple weeks back.
Motivated me to go through extra with all shot types and play hard some more.
Ended up 1LCing normal as a result of it.

WHY is lunatic Stage 4 in MoF so annoying, I can do it 1 death but usually end up 4 deathing.  Something about that stage will usually make me derp the first fifteen seconds in actual runs on any difficulty, but in stage practice I get it every time.

I'm really, really wishing EoSD had a spell practice mode. Listen game, I can already do stage 3, it's Meiling's spell cards that are doing me in. Heck, if I can do Masakado Crisis without taking down familiars, I should not be having this much trouble with Gorgeous Sweet Flower, it's the same damn thing minus the big round bullets. Also, Extreme Color Typhoon can go die. The only card I have any sort of consistency on is Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbow of all things.


That being said, once I get that far (a few continues later), I'm actually enjoying fighting Sakuya in stage 5, even if her midboss section is just brutal. I hate Misdirection with a passion...

Is this normal? If so, dodge Gorgeous Sweet Flower at the bottom of the screen and bomb without a single regret if you need (sometimes I do this with Marisa if I'm unsure she'll fit between the bullets). Extreme Color Typhoon requires you to keep your character on the bottom but look to about the middle of screen (I can only dodge accelerating bullets like this).

Misdirection is a trap. Remain stopped at the initial burst and then start tapping away from the direction Sakuya moves (she'll teleport to the other end). This card was an autobomb for me until I read advice here and watched replays. Today that card is an autocapture :P

Yeah, it's normal. I'm too rubbish to play on anything harder :P I dislike bombing Gorgeous Sweet Flower because on the face of it, it isn't a difficult card. Without trying to make excuses, I can't help feeling that the lack of a visible hitbox isn't helping me either. That said, the most recent run I did I managed not to die on it. I just died on the preceding non-spell instead...

I'll have to try your advice on Extreme Color Typhoon though. I keep trying it about 1/4 to 1/3 off the bottom, and invariably get boxed or just plain confused. I'm assuming the same tactic will work for Colorful Rain as well.

I'd figured out enough to move away from Sakuya for Misdirection, I think I'm just doing it too early and getting trapped between her little red knives and the bigger blue knives (oh look, just like the non-spell before it). Overall though I do need to get back in the habit of bombing stuff. I either panic bomb when I probably shouldn't, or go into a spell card determined to beta it and end up dying with bombs in stock, not helped by the fact that I suck at deathbombing.

I guess it all comes down to 'practice more', which is fair enough, except I'm already sick of the sight of stage 3...

You didn't mention Flower Dream Vine.

You're going to LOVE Flower Dream Vine.

I really don't like the sound of that... :S Though you have now intrigued me enough to go digging on Youtube for a replay of it...

EDIT: Just checked it know (when the internet decided to behave), and unless I've got the wrong spell card, it just looks like a faster version of Diamond Blizzard with bigger bullets. That said, a lot of things look far easier on videos than they do when trying to capture them...

when I was 1cc'ing normal, I pretty much auto bombed Extreme Color Typhoon.
Also, for misdirection, you can just sit near the right side of the screen and just tap left or right for each wave (multiple times if necessary).

It is nothing like Diamond Blizzard, where bullets basically move down, cuz the bullets are moving in all kinds of directions,
and it's sometimes hard to tell which way they are going and then get boxed in.

I'm really getting closer to perfecting Miko. I understand (more or less) her third spell card, I've learned why I keep dying on her sixth and how to avoid it, even her final I've learned how to cheap out, so maybe this time I'll finally-

Oh wait Guse Flash has no trick.

I freaking hate Toyosatomimi no Miko. You wanna know what spell I die on constantly with her? Those stupid effing falling stars. (The last spellcard is Falling Stars of something or other)
THAT SPELL ENDED MY TD RUNS FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. I WASTED AN HOUR OF MY LIFE SCREWING UP.

What the hell were the people who made the ultra patches thinking with MoF stage 4.  It's impossible.
You know what else is impossible? Half of Kanako and half of Sanae.  Both of their last spells are impossible (Sanae's only on hard+).
