I do NOT accept what just happened. After doing MUCH better at HRtP lunatic (even though I lost 6 lives against Yuugen Magan. :'V), I entered Sariel with max lives. She got me down to no lives pretty quick thanks to her NOT FREAKING CHANGING PHASES ON THE ONE IT'S HARDEST TO HIT HER ON), but I bomb spammed to her easy last phase. This is easy, right? For safety though, I decided to use my two remaining bombs if anything came up. Something came up, so a second in advance, I do the cute little button combination to bomb...
IT DIDN'T REGISTER. I DIED. EVEN THOUGH I HAD ENOUGH BOMBS TO SPAM HER TO DEATH. If there is one problem with this game, it's the bombing. Couldn't ZUN have picked a button input that didn't have a chance of not registering or better yet find a convenient button to just map it to in the first place?! I mean shit, the ONLY reason I failed my second Makai route lunatic 1cc is because I pressed them wrong!
