Now with 20% more RAGE.
http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=40.0
Link to the last thread.
-
Starting off, I can't do EoSD S6 Lunatic.
...you beat me to it ;_;
-
Bending lasers. That's all.
Also, Hiziri's fourth non-spell.
-
UFO doesn't even work on this computer. There is nothing more RAGETASTIC than not even getting to try a game as everyone is talking about it :(
-
I was going to post about UFO but I actually enjoyed it, even though the Stage 6 boss just smashed me three times in a row.
Stage 4's last card got me good. Wasn't expecting it AT ALL, but recovered and lasted until 2 seconds, whereupon I blundered and died.
-
Okay, now I tried UFO on hard, gameover'd on the stage 5 post-midboss spam.
Stage 5 completely rapes my eyes. Red bullets on top of red bullets on top of red/blue items on top of red/blue background = bleeding eyes, and it doesn't help that the patterns themselves are annoyingly random. I am honestly afraid of what it (and stage 6) must look like on lunatic. At least stage 4 is lots of fun.
-
In the midst of these UFO RAGE moments, I'll be posting nonsense ;_;
I keep clipping "FDA"SA S3 SC4. It's easy (enough), but then try it with Marisa :V
-
You mean Knockout in Three Steps?
Err, yeah, Marisa makes it harder.
-
UFO Stage 5 is a mind and eye rape. Syou's giant lasers of doom are awful.
But it's okay because it's still fun as heck and Syou's theme is amazingness. The giant anchor boomerangs in the previous stage were epic too. Captain Murasa's final survival card really caught me off-guard, and I'm still not very used to it.
-
You mean Knockout in Three Steps?
Err, yeah, Marisa makes it harder.
Same thing really. It's just more convenient for me to go FDA+subscript instead of KOI3S (or something, or even typing it out). Especially where the difficulty changes the spell card name.
In other news (because I can't be bothered making a post in the Accomplishments; and the game crashed every time I tried to save the replays) Perfect SA Stages 1, 2 and 3. With Marisa.
...is this possible in the full version?

Screenshot of my replay from the Trial :V
EDIT: Damn, that looks awesome as a thumbnail.
-
FFFFFFFFFF
My first Normal 1cc attempt of UFO ended with me dying on the final spell card. I didn't even see the bullet I hit, and I had a bomb left. @_@ Ah well.
On a less rage-ish note, first impressions of UFO are pretty kickass. A new Touhou game makes for a pretty sweet homecoming. ;D
EDIT: Just tried again, this time with Sanae B instead of Reimu A. Failed at the exact same place. Damn, that card is a lot harder than it looks... unsurprising I guess, since it's the last spell card and all, but still. Looks like it'd be hellish on a higher difficulty.
-
Died JUST before the boss died on Syou's last spellcard, just because she blows up slower than Marisa, and I already got owned by Stage 5 10 times...
FFFFFFFFFFFF
And you know what the sad part is?
This is Easy.
And the game already lags.
-
Okay what the Christ what the actual shit
I decided to have another attempt at a Normal 1cc with Reimu A, and I was doing really well, collecting tons of red UFOs, and I reached Ichirin without dying, half a life away from max lives, and then my computer decides it wants to install some updates and restarts with no warning. I guess it was only stage 3, but still... ARGH.
I give up for today, my Touhou skills deteriorate quite badly after three in the morning. <_<
-
...I just died to Mima with bombs in stock thrice. I also died to Marisa with bombs in stock twice.
-
I have had two nearly 1cc Normal runs at which I have been at max lives upon reaching Murasa. And can clear Murasa with only a bomb (Hate the last couple seconds of that last attack).
Both runs got wasted by Syou and especially Himizi's last spell IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD ARGH.
Also, Syou's rotating laser card. That is some serious bull right there.
-
Still haven't beaten UFO easy =(
Got to stage 5 with max lives. twice :(
-
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ANIMATED BULLETS IN UFO?? IT'S FINE ON NORMAL, BUT ONCE YOU MOVE UP TO HARD, THE ANIMATED CLUSTERFUCK JUST PREVENTS YOU FROM EVEN GETTING THROUGH STAGE 6! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT GAME IF THOSE BULLETS WEREN'T ANIMATED!
-
Died on the final spellcard on Normal FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-----
I'll unlock Extra tomorrow, damnit.
Also, perfect sightread of Stage 4 riiiiiight up until the survival card. ZUN...you absolute BASTARD, didn't we have WORDS about this the LAST TIME YOU PULLED CRAP LIKE A STAGE 4 SURVIVAL CARD? WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER PEERLESS BS GOD, AND WE SURE AS HELL DON'T NEED ANOTHER PRINCESS TENKO.
DAMNIT.
-
My god I can't capture any of Murasa's cards. I find her harder than Shou. >_>;
EDIT: I just DIED at Shou while she was dying. That sucked.
-
And now for something completely different:
A small part of the background melody of the extra stage sounds awfully similar to the ring tone of the phone in our household. Cue me pausing the game every try to look for the phone only to find nothing...
::)
-
EDIT: I just DIED at Shou while she was dying. That sucked.
If you read my post above, you know how I feel...
*Sigh* Still can't pass Stage 5, I guess I'll try again tomorrow.
-
The UFOs in UFO.
Basically, I have three things to rage about:
1: When I try to collect one, a bullet happens to fly into my face at high-speed
2: JUST before I collect one, it decides to change colors and I have to go and collect 3 more.
3: When I'm just trying to dodge danmaku, a UFO heads into my way, and it's usually the wrong color of UFO.
Oh, and I have a passonate hate for Syou + her curvy bullets
-
@theshim:
The biggest threat for Murasa's survival card is that it draws your overreaction. Since ZOMBIE CAP'N won't appear directly on top of you if you're close to one of the screen's borders AFAIK, you don't have to worry about that as much. Try only moving small distances with each teleport, just enough to dodge the current bullets. They'll get too dense after a while so you'll have to relocate, but the point is you don't have to run for the hills every time she gets close to you.
-
AND WE SURE AS HELL DON'T NEED ANOTHER PRINCESS TENKO.
...wait, what's wrong with Princess Tenko?
Also: Everybody's talking about UFO now, and I feel so behind the times! (dirty pirates... >.>)
-
UFO stage 5. UFO stage 5 makes me rage. In lots of ways. I'll have to swallow my dignity and watch Krim's replay, because I can't take that shit anymore. Also, I think I was wrong; stage 4 isn't easier than stage 3. It just looks that way initially because there are less gimmick/streaming bits.
Speaking of stage 4, what the FUCK is up with Murasa's nonspells? The first one is doable, but the second two are absolutely ridiculous, like Alice's second midboss attack moving at Eternal-Meek speed or something. Seriously.
-

really? i usually die/bomb on her first, the last 2 are pretty easy for me.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFHAFHSKSHAK

Huh? The second and third are the same as the first, but with gradually more bullets. There's no way they could be easier than the first. And I agree with the rage about it. The droplet bullets seem to have annoyingly large hitboxes (relative to the graphic), too. I think the waves themselves are static though, so maybe it's possible to memorize some sort of pattern, but it's just way too fucking fast and dense.
-
I actually have more issues with the stage than with Captain Murasa. The stage is hell from the beginning, something about completely random sparse bullet just makes me ram into things constantly.
Also, I hate Captain Murasa's survival card. Even though I've started getting used to it I still usually end up using a bomb or two on it. I don't actually have any issues with any of her nonspells though, they're actually pretty easy for me. Maybe it's all the practice I did on EoSD that's made me pretty good at random dodging.
And just like everyone else I'll say that I hate, hate, hate Stage 5 with a passion. I always fail miserably on Stage 5. Damn you and your giant laser traps of doom Shou.
-
Utshuo crashes 12.3 for me even though I have the patch installed.
It happened to me too. Look at the top of the window, it probably still says Version 1.00
The patch extracted it's content in another folder (it created a second 12.3 in my 12.3 folder).
If that's what happened, copy the contents of that folder in your 12.3 folder and replace the files when it asks to.

Stage 6 UFO lunatic is driving me insane.
It's really hard to get 7 bombs, live through midboss Nue, and then spam. I usually end up with 5/6.
Opener is easy (comparatively), but then I can't do a SINGLE attack without bombing or dying. First one is lolwall unless I'm missing something, I don't get it. Next is laser barrage that's nearly impossible to avoid, next is butterfly lasers which I don't understand fully, next is gigantic spam that's really hard to avoid, next is tons of curly... things + aimed stars that blows my mind, then comes the move-around-the-screen attack where it's really hard to do damage, then comes Shinki's attack which I can usually one-bomb, then comes the fly-around-the-screen spam that gets so think it seems nearly undodgeable, then comes her last card which I've made it too five times with 0 resources and died at once it hits its harder stages.
tl; dr - RAGE
Actually, now that I have this written down, it might actually be possible if I 1-death Shinki and go in with 6 bombs. Away!

YOU ARE CLOSE TO BEATING UFO ON LUNATIC AND YOU SAY YOU AREN'T ONE OF THE TOP RANKING TOUHOU PLAYERS?!?!???!?!?!!?
-
Uh, I think he got to stage 6 via continue spam like the rest of us (well, not me. Still suck really badly at stage 3 here. :<).
So anyway, which one of you said that the way to do the Red UFO spell card was to destroy one and go through the gap to avoid the others? Tell me so I can punch you in the face. >:( I'd appreciate a strategy that doesn't lose 3 lives to test.
-
Extra Stage? Clusterfuck but I'm getting used to it.
Nue? Wtf how is this easy? Maybe I just don't know the tricks yet? Her first few spell cards aren't that bad. Red UFO spam is horrid fail and makes me bomb. Blue UFO spam is annoying but doable. Laser bullet counter clock is okay, it comes down mostly to just a counter-clockwise square movement while the bullets are rotating.
Seriously Nue, why? Why do you throw UFOs into my face? =(
-
You know, I can tolerate a lot of shit, but I can't stand UFOs not doing what they are fucking suppose to do- clear bullets.
Stage 4, because I'm just trying to beat it. I keep chaining whatever mix ufos I can find. Those shit flowers bullets that spawns in the middle is driving me fucking insane. Whenever a UFO blows up, I run up to grab the fragments before more shit falls down only to go into the area and it just spawns in my face and kills me. This is something I cannot tolerate- at all.
ZUN, you sadistic piece of shit, going 4.00 to 3.00 power after a clip death is not a good game mechanic.
-
I gave up on stage 6.
I'm seriously going to have to practice stage 6 on hard so I can unlock practice for stage 6 lunatic :V
Also, I have the best capture history ever. 0/104, anyone? I might need to nuke my score.dat from orbit.
-
Can't...1cc...normal...stage 5...bullshit....syou...f*ck you...hate...rage....I want to unlock this extra...GRRR....GRRRRRRAWW
-
I just saw the second-last UFO card on Lunatic.
I haven't screamed like that in years.
-
The penultimate Lunatic card actually made me laugh just because of how fast the boss moves.
Also, no boss in the history of Touhou has made me want to RAGEquit more or harder than Kogasa Tatara. Although Orin and Nitori have come close.

lol wut. What card is that? Certain beat someone's .dat I have on Nirvana. 1/ 202.
Anyways, I made it to Stage 5 with a bit diligence. Until Shou's curve lasers got me twice, bullshit.
I think I will practice Stage 4 until I can memorize everything. Ah, just like I did with SA, work with Satori until I get every detail down. Orin took a while, but Utsuho took longer.
Is that space invader shit really easy on Normal, or do I have it wrong?
Another thing is, what does Stage 6 look like on Lunatic?
-

Stage 6 Normal entails you losing at dodgeball to blue bullets before running into slow-moving vertical yellow bullets while trying to catch as many UFOs as you can.
Stage 6 Lunatic is basically the same thing, except the yellow bullets form small walls and move at steep angles. In other words, it's not that bad - just relentless.
IIRC the bright blue thingy's attack is the same on each difficulty, or at least very similar.
-
Is that space invader shit really easy on Normal, or do I have it wrong?
Character can affect it greatly - as can power. Unless you form a multicolor UFO, Stage 6 doesn't drop power until the White Orb Of ARGHWUT - and chances are you're not walking away from Shou with much power. Try forming one if you're reaching Stage 6 at low power.
-
Whoever said that Byakuren's final attack is easy can play this game for me. I am so sick of dying to it when the rest of her attacks are relatively easy.
-
I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but if anyone was wondering if Flying Fantastica (Byakuren's last card) goes insane at the 30-second mark in the same way as every card like it since QED...
It does.

-
I just tried it on Normal and it was pretty mental. I don't want to imagine it on Lunatic. x_x
-
Yeah I tried timing it out on easy and it was an...experience. I can't fathom it on lunatic.
Also, I'm probably going to have the accept the fact that I'm going to die on stage 3, it's not a blowoff stage.
-
Nue's last card goes into overdrive as well for the last 30 seconds. Imagine Peerless Wind God except at double the speed. Good luck surviving that for more than 2 seconds :V
-
Replay of Stage 6 Normal attempting to timeout Fantastica:

I get to 14 seconds then die, there's just too much insanity on screen by that point.
-
Yesterday, I had my first loss in SWRS arcade mode lunatic.
I lost.
To Cirno.
I HAVE SHAMED MY FAMILY
yes I know she's actually quite decent in the game THAT'S NOT THE POINT
-
um excuse me I pointed out Fantastica's timeout phase the day it came out >:(
On a related note, her Shinki throwback card also has a timeout phase. If you don't attack, the card instantly goes to its final phase at 30 seconds, and then at 15 seconds starts adding a light spray of random red bullets in for good measure. Fun stuff.
-
um excuse me I pointed out Fantastica's timeout phase the day it came out >:(
Oh. I avoided Touhou forums like the plague to avoid spoilers/screenshots when the game came out, so didn't see you post about it. :-\
On a related topic:
UFO EXTRA WTF.
-
Bahaha, I actually like UFO Extra. The stage itself is actually rather simple as long as you keep an eye on where the fairies come in and kill them before they can make stupid walls of death.
EX-Kogasa is easy too, other than her light speed Mt. Ooe clone. That card can burn.
-

It hasn't even been a week since the game was released. You can't give up after such a short time. Take a break to calm down, practice stage 4 and 5, or go 1cc the other games with shot types you haven't used yet.
No, I can't do it either. Yes, I want to unlock the Extra Stage. But I'll do it by myself, otherwise there's no point in even trying it.
Sorry if I look like an asshole, but I'm getting pissed off that people ask for score.dat files all the time. It's my own rage moment or something.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFlying Fantastica just killed me as Hiziri was exploding.
THIS HAPPENS TOO MUCH WHAT THE HELL
-
Murasa's second spellcard keeps killing me because the bullets move at different angles and I inevitably clipdeath. Ichirin's last spellcard keeps killing me too, because I always run into lasers while trying to avoid the fists. On a brighter note, thanks to u?'s advice on Murasa's last card, I just got my first capture of it. Hopefully, I can do it again.
-
I just lost 3 lives to Danmaku Chimera. (Nue's fifth card)
That is one of the most horrendously scary cards I've ever seen and I have no idea how I'm going to get past it. I'm trying to make this the first extra I've beaten without watching a single video of it, but I can see this being a wall.

It's scary, but definitely doable. The small bullets are dodgeable with very small movements and just making sure you don't try and cross two waves at the same time. The fast laser bit is what often kills me, but I find they usually are aimed almost directly in the middle of the screen, so avoiding that area seems to help.
This was my first extra I beat without watching a vid too. :) Keep at it! (and prepare to rage pretty hard at the 7th and 10th cards)
And on topic Jesus Christ UFO Hard is even harder than SA Hard, I think. Currently being raped by Shou and Stage 5 in general. @_@
-
Say, is it just me or is Stage 4 harder than Stage 5 random mobs.
Stage 4 got too much of that "Can't see shit, Captain.", it relies on timed UFOs so you can avoid the bullshit.
On the other hand Stage 5's random mobs are relatively easy, got through the stage on the first go.

Dare I ask what?
Also, Danmaku Chimera is amazing. Clipdeath-tastic, but a great concept.
@clear + : Which difficulty? They both have so much rain that you need windshield wipers on any difficulty over Easy, but Stage 5 has more enemies trying to run into you and drop bullets on you whereas in Stage 4 the bullets intermingle more casually with the point items.
-
Orin is much worse than Syou...
lolwat.
-
Orin is much worse than Syou...
lolwat.
Both have one card that needs to vanish from the face of Gensokyo (Zombie Fairy, green bars).
Spleen Eater and the yellow compartment card are both novelty trap cards.
I don't have a major problem with Shou's other two cards, as Shou's movement patterns are static and the bullets coming from the lasers move in predictable patterns. You can compare GOAST WEELS to one of those, but Rekindling is like Zombie Fairy again.
Syou's nonspells are more or less easier than Orin's if you don't trivialize Orin's nonspells, and better designed if you do.
tl;dr abstract stuff that no one reads and may not make sense; I'm right mostly because I said so
Or are you talking about my avatar? Nothing says creepy like a yukkuri face.

MIMIKKU89 GOT SUSPENDED FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF---------
(it's Touhou and it's rage)

D: I liked the songs on that channel. :<
I guess to be more on topic on that run I captured Byakuren's fourth non-spell on hard, I failed Devil's Recitation as it ended. That was pretty rage-worthy I guess.
-
I simply can't beat UFO on normal =(
4th and 5th stages are too hard for me =P
-
Legendary Flying Saucer is... difficult. @_@
And Hard mode Shou is still HJADGAKGJHFASASHJDKHASD
-
UFO Stage 4 to 6
I can have as many lives as I want, Stage 4 and 5 eat most of them. Murasa's survival card is FUCK, because I have no strategy.
Worst example: Entered Stage 6 Normal with SIX LIVES and didn't even got to her final spell card.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
And the funny thing: I have no real problem with Stages 5's "camouflage" bullets as well as with Syou's third spell card.
And Orin IS a lot worse than Syou. Syou's cards are way more fun and don't include FUCKING ZOMBIE FAIRIES SHOOTING BULLETS IF YOU SHOOT THEM, JUST TO RESURRECT SOON AFTER.
Orin as character is nice for me, though.
-
And Orin IS a lot worse than Syou. Syou's cards are way more fun and don't include FUCKING ZOMBIE FAIRIES SHOOTING BULLETS IF YOU SHOOT THEM, JUST TO RESURRECT SOON AFTER.
Sure, Orin has the fairies, but I prefer to dodge faries that are slow and just follow you around to crazy-ass curving lasers that are near impossible to predict. Plus, I think Orin's non-cards are less difficult. On top of that, Orin has an easy card, Spleen Eater; Shou has no easy cards. ;_;
I'd agree with Shou being more fun, though.
-
I accidentally pushed "Give up and retry" instead of "save as replay".
RAAAAGEEEEE.
-
Tried again to 1cc Normal.
But this game, the game fooled me by letting me capture Byakuren's first and fourth spell card for the first time (second one is unbelievably easy, even with my craptastic skills). So I thought that THIS would be the run that let me unlock Extra.
And then her second-to-last card.
I HATE IT.
SanaeB's Nuke Bomb is useless because she's moving around way too much and way too fast.
-
SanaeB's Nuke Bomb is useless because she's moving around way too much and way too fast.
Byakuren's penultimate card is static. Learn where she moves (or more importantly, where she stays still) and hang out under those locations.
Also, I keep bombing/dying at the last possible moment of her Shinki Remix card. It really isn't that hard... except for the kinda aimed bullets coming from the sides...
-
30+ continues on UFO Stage 5 hard, and I still can't get past it. I ragequitted afterwords. =V
-
Okay, so Nue's seventh card pretty much approaches Shou's third for Worst In The Game. Actually, the whole Nue fight is kind of underwhelming outside the Danmaku Chimera effect.

Ugh, failed to 1cc normal on SA again.
I can't see why I'm so bad at this game, I always play hard/lunatic on the others.
Orin just doesn't like me, and I hate her undead fairies! >:(
-
GOD I HATE NUE. Everything about this fight just...bugs me. It's not as horrible and boring as Koishi's fight, but it's a different kind of enraging. The kind of enraging where the stage ISN'T trivial to get through without dying, and you can be doing fine through most of the fight and then get clip deathed three times in quick succession because FREAKING CURVY LASERS give you no room to maneuver. Also, it feels insulting how I die to Kogasa's first spell card every time, when it doesn't look hard at all.

Youtube actually. The shadow of the almighty banhammer has been hanging over several people there ever since StateofUnrest was suspended some time ago. Both users uploaded videos of music arranges from, you guessed it, the Touhou series. I've seen uploaders prepare their gravestones already. (Or alternate accounts, etc.)
-
not what I meant, of course it's YouTube
what I'm saying is that niconico likes to get YouTube to take down videos that were stolen from there
"music arranges" has nothing to do with it because then ZUN would be taking down Touhou gameplay vids left and right
-
That's just silly, because some people like to be able to find this music on Youtube, and not everyone has Nicovideo accounts, or have the patience to follow a registration translation.

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying. And yeah, that smells like a likely reason.
I am not sure if ZUN would be taking down vids so, if he had the chance...he was the one that implemented the Replay function after all, right? But that is beside the point.
That's just silly, because some people like to be able to find this music on Youtube, and not everyone has Nicovideo accounts, or have the patience to follow a registration translation.
Amen to that. (Says a guy that actually has an account there. >>)
It makes rather little sense, considering that both websites are about free videos...then again, you can only reach the sponsors for each through the respectively sponsored site. Ayayayayaya.
Aaand just to contribute to the rage here...
Why can't SA, UFO and IaMP not work on my computer! ;_;
And why is it that of all characters that choose not to display properly on UNL/Hisoutensoku Utsuho had to be the one. ;_;
(Rethorical questions both, my computer is waaaaay to low end for any and all Touhou games, including 1-5. But they at least work! GRAH!)

it's called get some patience and get one, Niwango does not care about you

Hey, I have an account. But I don't have Japanese installed on my computer (and for arbitrary reasons refuse to get them), so I have to copy/paste any search terms I want into the search bar. That's why I prefer Youtube for anything that can be gotten on both sites (unless video quality is an issue, in which case lol).

Do you have, like, Windows 98? My computer is from 2001 and I've made it very clear that I dislike all the slowdown it has, but it can still run EoSD through MoF with very few areas of lag.

The computer came with 98, but currently runs XP. And I can play 1 - 10 (except 7.5) fairly well, but with slowdowns if I don't throw in frame-skips...so I count my blessings there, yes. The reason I say I can't play the other three games mentioned is because they won't start. I do believe it's DirectX issues I won't be able to resolve on this computer. (I went into more detail (slightly) in my thread in the tech forum.)
Buut yeah, long story short, I needs new computer...
*considers salvaging parts from laptop...*
-
Oh yay SA crashed when I beat Utsuho... Now I have to play all the way through normal again just to try and unlock that stage for practice.
-
Hard EoSD. Stage 5. Sakuya. My first time getting there, so I expected a harder Clock Corpse, Luna Clock, and Marionette.
What do I get instead? Okay, Jack the Ludo Bile was fine, but wtf with The World and Killing Doll? I wanted to shoot myself in the head :( Not what I was expecting.
-
Died at Nue's last card's last phase. I went into her 8th card(Rainbow UFOs) 4/3, and died one there, entered the survival card 3/2, and then died three times, leaving me with 1 power for her lats card. And I almost captured it, but died with 2 bombs in stock.
Oh, and the only card outside the three I mentioned that I failed was the Red UFOs, due to me being stupid.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
Extra Midboss Kogasa is making me dislike her even more.
-
I get the feeling that every time I'm playing Touhou, I'm getting only worse. I'm playing for like 1 2/3 years and I only beat ONE Extra (SA one's).
Sometimes, I have to restart the game like thirty times because I'm dying on 1st stage. Is this even normal?
-

Same happens to me.
I only get one full run after 30 attempts because of stage 1 deaths.
-
okay, first time getting to Syou.
had 0 lives left, didn't expect to pass.
but guess how i died?
i got too close to her laser spawn point(ones around her) and died when she shot the curvy ones.
DAMN IT I'M DUMB
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFgoddamnit
I randomly decided to try a no-focus run of PCB Normal, and aside from a really stupid death at the start of stage 4 I hadn't made any mistakes up to Lily White. Then, during all the crazy post-midboss stuff, I bombed, and after bombing started focus-dodging everything for about ten seconds without meaning to before I actually realised I was doing it. <_< Cannot be arsed doing that again, maybe I'll try EoSD instead.
-
RAWR!
Why is every Extra stage other than EoSD complete and utter BS?
First I try IN Extra. The stage is laughably easy, other than EX-Keine's wtfspellcards. I'm thinking "Oh, this might go well after all." And then Mokoue shows up and proceeds to smash my face into the ground with her commplete BS spellcards.
Ok, that really sucked. Let's try PCB Extra! The stage is hell, beginning to end. It just throw complete crap at me and then Chen comes along and pimp slaps me around for awhile. I finally get to Ran and her first spellcard, which seems pretty decent. Then I ram into a bullet out of nowhere that I really should have seen coming at me.
Why do you do this to me Zun? WHY?
At least I can take comfort in knowing that I can at least perform well at EoSD Extra?
-
I just got to normal difficulty Shou with one less than the max number of lives. Even with heavy use of SanaeB's bombs, I barely made it to her last card, which I died on. I just have horrible problems trying to see where her noncard lasers are going, and I just did horribly on her spell cards.
-
@Yoshi: Mokou's spells are reasonably difficult but quite fair. Keine is more or less trivial if someone tells you how to do them and you spend five minutes practicing her spells (see next item).
PCB Extra is something entirely different. You either know how to do the spell cards, or you hit a brick wall and lose all but one of your lives if you're lucky. The stage is mostly trivializable by memorizing where the enemies come from. Which is why replays of other people playing are worth watching.
Words cannot describe how much time I wasted on not knowing how to do PCB Extra.
-
I'm still afraid of Flandre and never went back since I cleared it.
If that stage only gave one more goddamn life....nope, only 3 default and 2 from stage, no matter how many points you get, you get NOTHING.
Dying with bombs even only once pretty much meant a failed attempt, I've usually entered QED with 2-3 bombs and always failed in the last 1/10.
Repeat 9 times before I've barely managed it with 1 bomb left.
And Patchouli. WTF. Hardest Extra midboss.
Silent Selene - 10/129
Royal Flare - 2/125(one was the MarisaA trick, another was complete luck)
Philosopher's Stone - 11/110
Mokou on the other hand was nice enough to throw you bombs and the stage gave you more lives.
It was the first Extra for me, finished it with the reach another spellcard - practice it - repeat way and it took around 30 attempts.
Same for Ran and Yukari, both took around 30 attempts. Suwako took only 16, only Koishi kind of makes me rage thanks to her WTF survival and Genetics.... Still, made it all the way to her final 2 times now, so she can't take 130+ attempts as Flandre did.
If only EoSD gave you one more life.....
Well, if you can defeat Flandre, you have no other Extra to fear IMO......except for Nue, I guess.
-
Well, if you can defeat Flandre, you have no other Extra to fear IMO......except for Nue, I guess.
Huh. For some reason I find Flandre one of the easier Extra bosses, especially compared to Koishi, Nue and Yukari. Suwako, even. But maybe that's just me. :V I agree with Patchy being a completely ridiculous midboss, though.
On topic, fucking brofists keep ruining any and all Hard 1cc attempts. Just got game over'd on the eye lasers after losing all five of my lives to Ichirin. <_<
-
Flandre is one of the easiest Extra bosses; the difficulty of the stage comes from everything before and including Patchy, the hitboxes, and dumb luck in general. If EoSD had the hitboxes and deathbomb times of other Extras it would be one of the easiest ones
and people would realize just how pathetically overrated Flandre is.
Suwako is difficult for all the wrong reasons (boringmaku that forces you to plan strategies well in advance and FASTER THAN LIGHT nonspells).

Flandre herself isn't that hard, it's the fact that the stage gives you 2 less lives compared to the new ones.
And some of her spellcards....Cranberry Trap is hell for me, Four of A Kind is also kind of bullshit since the clones seem to shield Flandre at times so I've almost timed it out at times, and Maze of Love....0/56. Constant 2/3 bombs.
Well, it's really about the lives.
And the brofists totally own me even on Normal. Especially the one where danmaku falls every time the fist hits....can't see crap and it tends to get a bit too dense.
Well, when I've started SA Yuugi also seemed a bit too hard....now I actually find her fun.

No idea how did I manage to beat Suwako so easily, her first spells seemed a bit too hard, then suddenly I've got the hang of it all and her spells seemed easier and easier, including the loleasy survival and her final one.
Maybe I need to try Flandre again. Either way, what made me waste so much time and got me completely laughable spellcard records can't be that overrated. Or maybe I just suck.

-Flandre isn't really any easier or any harder than any of the other extra bosses
-She also isn't really any more overrated than any of the other dozens of overrated Touhou characters
-EoSD's danmaku was designed with the bullet hitboxes in mind, so I don't really know what point you're trying to prove with that comment
-EoSD and IN extras are the only extra stages in the series that aren't a complete waste of time. Seriously.
-Suwako's nonspells are a bunch of piss-easy streaming, what are you talking about.
-
Suwako's non-spells that look like Sanae's third non-spell care very hateful due to how easy it is to clipdeath them. In fact, most of the difficulty of Suwako's fight IS clipdeath. Without it, all she'd have would be Froggy Braves the Elements and her two survival spell cards.
-
-Flandre isn't really any easier or any harder than any of the other extra bosses
Flandre is the only one whose nonspells are 100% trivial. All of them. Okay maybe not the second one but that's it.
In comparison to the stage that precedes her her bullet density is fairly low and by and large seems to rely on randomly screwing you over (Cranberry Trap, Kagome-Kagome, Starbow Break, Catadioptric, etc.)
-She also isn't really any more overrated than any of the other dozens of overrated Touhou characters
Name one or two. Shinki, Mima, and Nue don't count as dozens.
-Suwako's nonspells are a bunch of piss-easy streaming, what are you talking about.
Something tells me I should look at this again.

All of the extra bosses other than Mokou and possibly Nue have boring and easy nonspells. Honestly, I sort of prefer Flandre's over most of the others because they have shorter health bars and thus end quicker. Also, the only truly luckgarbage(ish) attack in EoSD extra is QED really.
Name one or two. Shinki, Mima, and Nue don't count as dozens.
All Windows 4-EX bosses eventually develop legions of slobbering fanboys, so just pick one or two that you like the least. :V
-

To be fair, Starbow Break is completely static and Cranberry Trap is based on your location (hence why part of Flandre scorerunning is directing Cranberry Trap to where you want it to go).
Catadioptric is the absolute worst-designed spellcard in the entire series though, I'll give you that.
-
All Windows 4-EX bosses eventually develop legions of slobbering fanboys, so just pick one or two that you like the least. :V
I went down the list, but the only people who really stand out as overrated are all the extra bosses except Mokou and maybe Yukari.
Everyone else more or less fits where they should be based on canon and/or aren't appreciated by many people to begin with (Eientei, Prismrivers, etc.).
Honestly, I sort of prefer Flandre's over most of the others because they have shorter health bars and thus end quicker.
Good point.
Catadioptric is the absolute worst-designed spellcard in the entire series though, I'll give you that.
I thought that was Omoikane's Brain? Or Shou's green bar card, or Source of Rains, or Suwako's first card, or something.
-

Omoikane's Brain is pretty awful, I will admit. I can't get past Reisen on IN Hard most of the time though, and I always go Kaguya (even though Eirin's theme is a billion times better, hooray for easy final bosses), so I can't really comment on it much. It is bullshit though.
Shou's green bar card is mostly a test of how fast you can run...er, fly. The green bars always move the same way, so if you know how long you have to shoot at Shou, it's not really that hard. I captured it on my second try.
I barely play MoF so I don't think I could really comment on Source of Rains :V
Suwako's first card? What are you talking about, that's one of the easiest cards in the series o.o
When she starts the lasers, get in front of the blue lasers, wait for her to fire the regular bullets at you, and just run in front of her. Rinse repeat defeat.
-
I have yet to capture Omoikane's Device on Normal.....seriously, that thing sucks HARD. One reason why I always go for Kaguya.
And Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual.....the replacement she gets for it in Hard is actually a fun card and much easier to capture.
Never fought her on Lunatic, so I dunno how bad is it there.....
-
FUCKING DAMNIT I WILL NEVER DIE WITH BOMBS IN STOCK AGAIN =(
UFO Normal Green UFO only... Got to 6th stage... I died three times with bombs in stock! Damnit.

Poor design =/= difficult.
Plus when I play it I constantly think "clip me, I dare you" for the 60+ seconds it takes for her to finally die.
Oh right, I forgot Misayama Shrine Hunting Ritual. That one's also horrible.

Misayama Shrine Hunting Ritual
*BROFIST SMASH*
DO NOT even remind me of that bullshit, clip deaths me every fucking time.
By the way, anyone knows how to cap Star Maelstrom?
-
Blah I say! Mokou is just continuously handing my ass to me on a platter. Her spells cards are just made of garbage.
Maybe I just need to spend infinite amounts of time in spellcard practice until I can figure out how the heck to get through her BS.
And PCB Extra? I give up on that garbage.
-
It's funny, because Mokou's almost universally agreed to be the best designed extra boss. :V
Me, I spent the last hour trying to get through stage 4 lunatic. The closest I got was 19 seconds left on Dipper Creeping Close. Also, the concept of "you bomb or die on this attack, you don't get an extra life" really pisses me off by principle, because it means that failing one attack could easily cost you the whole run.
And have I mentioned I hate Nue's red UFO spell card? Because I REALLY hate it. One thing or another ALWAYS kills me. Her eighth spell card is pretty shit too, haven't passed that yet.
-
On a positive note, I think I got Mokou's 2nd spellcard down with Border Team. Sure it's just streaming (mostly), but it's 'effing gigantic streaming that took me awhile to get.
Still absolutely hate her first spell card with a passion.
Flaw of Forgiving Shrine is a mind warp and I ALWAYS get shot in the back.
-
the only people who really stand out as overrated are all the extra bosses except Mokou and maybe Yukari.
man you guys are really bumming me out, cause i absolutely adore Suwako and Koishi(all of the Komeiji family actually) :(
but i don't think they(or any Touhou character for that matter) are "SO HOT/MEGA MOE", if that helps at all :V
back on topic-
i'm actually scared to try to play UFO again, cause i don't want to stupidly die on Ichirin/CAPTAIN MURASA(but that would happen anyway)
-
Damn you, Byakuren, and your ability to foil my normal 1ccs every time!
-
asdf
1cc attempt was painfully failed from a combination of clipdeaths and me forgetting how to chain ufos properly and a very ugly stage 6. I captured Shinki death and WHEEEEEEEE, though.
-

Really Mokou so far is the only extra boss I beat.
And I agree that she's pretty well balenced for a extra boss. Only she can be made a little easier cause of spell practice.
My rage?
For some reason, UFO is full of spellcards that I fail last at the last possible second, very rage inducing I say.
-
My 1cc Easy of MoF (lol first time playing) was foiled by Kanako because I didn't know what to expect. And here I thought I could at least clear the game with continues, but so far, she's impossible... Seriously, I hate how you can only start with two lives and the power-bomb relation just suck (I couldn't imagine how hard it'll be for me to clear SA later). Even though Kanako is, in my opinion, the easiest final boss that I've faced so far, I seem to screw up a lot in her attacks (the power-bomb relation doesn't help at all).
That puts me...
PoDD - 1cc Easy (gahh, no visible hitbox)
TEoSD - 3cc Normal (2 continues on Remilia)
PCB - 2cc Easy (Yuyuko's survival card is rage)
PoFV - 1cc Easy (Phantasmagoria games are really easy on Easy)
UFO - Easy Clear (crapload of continues on Stage 6)
... Need to play moar PC-98.

-
I raged so hard just now I almost broke my keyboard ala Angry German Kid.
Byakuren's final card... just a bit, I ran out of bombs, I ran out of lives... 1 little bit left and I got 2 of Marisa A's lasers.
like... just that dot and a pink one hit me from the left as I was zooming up.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
It's official.
UFO HATES ME.
Apparently I have the choice between failing at Muraasa and Syou or failing at Byakuren.
Entered Byakuren with 6 Lives and 6 Bombs.
And this time, I haven't even reached the Shinki card.
GODDAMMITFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
Yuyuko's survival card is rage
QFT.
Can't even beat it on Normal, there's something really annoying about fast stuff coming down from an angle.
And they give Shou something like that. But it's FASTER.
-
man you guys are really bumming me out, cause i absolutely adore Suwako and Koishi(all of the Komeiji family actually) :(
Forgot about Koishi. Koishi is rated more or less where she should be overall, maybe a little less because everyone hates SA Extra and thus her by extension. It doesn't help that ZUN made her dialogue rather terrible.
And this is coming from a Koishi fan, partly because she claims one of my favorite remixes. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpD37k8s_C4)
@PriestYoshi: The main reason people think Mokou is easy is because they have all the practice time in the world with Spell Practice. Keep at it.
Entered Byakuren with 6 Lives and 6 Bombs.
And this time, I haven't even reached the Shinki card.
Considering your bombs are worthless after the Shinki card, I'd take that as a clear indication that you should bomb more.
Can't even beat it on Normal, there's something really annoying about fast stuff coming down from an angle.
And they give Shou something like that. But it's FASTER.
I think you're going to hate Extra then, because I'm thinking of one spell in particular that has weirder angles and is even faster.
-
Meh, almost got Koishi again.
Died in stage, on the first heart spellcard, Rorschach, surprisingly timed out Genetics without dying, lost a life on the survival(right at the end of the second wave, which is good) and the remaining 2 on Subterranean Rose.....I always throw away my first life in one of the first waves....
I hope this won't be like Flandre and QED all over.... :-\
Still, managed to cap everything atleast once except for the final 3.
-
UFO is being a bitch with me. I can't even consistently 1cc Normal. Dying to Byakuren's piss easy second noncard AND her piss easy second card on my MarisaB run doesn't help either.
I think I'll just do IN Lunatic and look at it afterwards. Except this will kill my deathbomb reflexes and I'll fare even worse.
-
Am i the only one here who thinks Byakuren's final spellcard sucks? Well, it shouldn't surprise me. The list of spellcards i don't like in UFO is rather long compared to other ZUN games.
-
I've been trying to finish my pacifist run of easy mode in UFO.
Thwarted about 5 times because of Byakuren's Shinki card. >:(
-
The entire life mechanics of UFO make me rage.
Somehow, you become obsessed with picking up red UFOs, completely ignoring any danmaku, throwing yourself straight into the enemy fire.
And when I'm about to pick up a 3rd red UFO, it turns blue. And you manage to clip something in the process.
FFFFFFFFFFF
-
I know, that is part of the strategy, I don't even have to tell you how many of those UFOs always turn to the rainbow one.
heck, if I know how to do it I will make it that the rainbows at least spit half a part of a bomb out for proper measure.
(oh well, at least I discovered you can stock bombs beyond the limit of how many stars there are shown, up to 10 I think)
-
When I saw Nue's last spell and it was incredibly easy.
RAGEEE
-
Managed to blow through 3 lives at Subterranean Rose. Under 1/10 left....and I completely ⑨'d it.
Words cannot describe my rage.
-

There you have it. The reason i just stopped caring for SA Extra. My reaction was similar to: "This stage sucks. I don't care. I'm not doing this!"
When I saw Nue's last spell and it was incredibly easy.
RAGEEE
The only thing actually difficult about it is the final phase... which i'll probably beat sooner or later. Personally the true rage inducing part of the Nue battle is her survival card. I always die twice to that one. (As in, the two times i have cleared the stage.)
-
There you have it. The reason i just stopped caring for SA Extra. My reaction was similar to: "This stage sucks. I don't care. I'm not doing this!"
Same as my first reaction, Sanae wiped the floor with me and it took me 10 more attempts to even reach Koishi.
Plus the fact that you need to gather the power at beginning like mad to get 2-3 at Sanae, then not mess up a single spellcard and get a decent run at Koishi....
Not to mention, I've timed out Genetics with only one bomb now(which was out of pure panic)
Worst final 2 spellcards in any Extra....Suwako atleast gave me some breathing space instead of constantly trying to run over me with a ring of roses.
Nue's survival also looks kind of ridiculous though....
EDIT: Another rage, almost 1cc'd UFO normal, died at last 1/5 on Byakuren's final.....Touhou doesn't like me today >.>
ZUN, save the low HP clusterfucks for Extra, don't annoy noobs on Normal with them.... :-\
-
GAH!
If you die once in UFO, you lose so much power you're basically screwed. Rainbow UFOs at one power is NOT FUN DAMMIT.
-
You know, I really like Byakuren. Great music, interesting danmaku, very easy.
Her third nonspell. Can go to hell.
Her third spell. Can go to hell until I remember how I passed it last week.
Her fourth nonspell. ...you know.
Her last card. Can go to hell until I stop running into bullets that are translucent precisely so that they're harder to see.
-
Her last card. Can go to hell until I stop running into bullets that are translucent precisely so that they're harder to see.
which reminds me: do those amulets have smaller hitboxes that the solid ones? because i seem to be able to almost go completely through them.
then again, it might just be because the solid amulets scare me, so i stay as far away as possible.
-
Aaand the sequel to the above.
Nue's seventh card. What was ZUN drinking when he came up with this. I was kicking Nue around with ReimuB - even capturing Green UFOs, which sorta takes some luck - until that came around.
Definitely in the running for worst spell card in the series, although from the replays I spoiled myself on the eighth card (Rainbow UFOs) doesn't look much better.
-
Wait, are you saying that her seventh card is hard? >_> It's pretty easy, you just gotta position properly.
Rainbow UFO's is pretty straight forward actually, although it can be really tight.
-
Fighting Marusa's second spellcard, to avoid falling bullets I back up a bit....but forget I'm playing as marisa, misjudge my slow speed and run right into a bullet that was falling below me, wrecking my 4.0 power and making the rest of the spellcards a pain.
>_>
EDIT: also marusa's assholish survival card she has on normal and above X_X whenever I think I've figured it out, I haven't and run right into a bullet.
-
Wait, are you saying that her seventh card is hard? >_> It's pretty easy, you just gotta position properly.
I understand the triangle pattern you have to move in, but it's kind of hard to weave through densemaku that you can't see.
Plus only being able to hit Nue one third of the time, even with ReimuB compensating for it, is terrible design 90% of the time.
-
Triangle? lolwut. The basic pattern I do is demonstrated in this video by our good friend, bjw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDmNnfx7H4Y&feature=channel_page
skip to 7:38. The first large movement to the side is probably the only hard part, really.
-
Huh. Turns out a no focus clear of Phantasm is much more difficult that a no focus clear of PCB Extra. Or maybe it's just that it's 3 am. Probably both, the point being that I failed miserably. :V

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDmNnfx7H4Y&feature=channel_page
skip to 7:38. The first large movement to the side is probably the only hard part, really.
Actually, that's an interesting way of going about it. I should try that.
-
"The battle as a whole is very similar in feel to Koishi, so if you enjoyed SA's Extra, then you'll probably like this."
Definitely looking forward to that. Especially her oh-so-easy survival.
-
Did what Sodium Dichromate said. It went a little better; I captured the first six cards but had to bomb twice for the usual reason.
Rainbow UFOs is just about as horrible to play as it is to watch.
Went through the first three phases of her last card at 1.00 power due to dying so often to Rainbow UFOs.
And you can guess what happened after that considering I'm posting in this topic.
And... I really don't feel motivated to try again. It feels like a letdown to have to fight Nue at the end of the stage; I wish the stage could keep going.
-
I spend the whole day working, wanting to get home to play some.
And when I do get home, I'm so tired I can't get past 2nd stage in any games I try!
shit.
-
"Hey I hate Extra as SanaeA, let's unlock it with MarisaA!"
"Man this is going pretty well, no deaths or bombs for the first three stages!"
"I am so gonna beat up Mura- oh shit I died in the stage portion of Stage 4."
"Oh well, let's just keep going, it's only one de- what the fuck, I died again."
"Just remember to bomb, you'll miss out on a few UFOs, but there's so many tha- GOD DAMMIT I DIED AGAIN."
"Okay okay okay, you're at Murasa. She's easy, just don't pa- did i seriously just die at her opening attack"
"Anchors? These are easy, all I have to do i- shit, I forgot MarisaA only hits right in front of her. Oh well, captured."
"Second card! Y'know I remember right after UFO came out and this card always clipped m- *gets clipped*"
"This is so stupid. At least her third anchor attack is eas- WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT BULLET MARISA'S LASER BLENDED IN WITH IT"
"Oh god I have no lives left and I hate her survival card BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB"
Then I beat Murasa, had a perfect Stage 5 run somehow, then died to Shou's opener and ragequitted. :V
-
I have a normal 1cc going in UFO. I get to Murasa with one life under max due to a screw-up on the stage. Thanks to her survival card, I leave with four lives. Clinging to them with a death grip, I keep them up until Byakuren, where I somehow manage to get clipdeathed in every way imaginable before losing my last life on the Shinki card to a bullet I didn't see.
I'm done with UFO for awhile.
-
Wow, I'm posting rather often in this thread since UFO came out.
Anyway...
Byakuren. AGAIN. One life, three bombs.
First: Captured.
Second: Captured.
Bombed Nonspell.
Third: Captured.
Bombed Nonspell.
Fourth: Captured.
Fifth: Captured.
And lost my life at Flying Fantasia at 5 % Health with one bomb in stock.
WHY UFO? WHY?
-
One time I got really close to beating IN's extra stage only to get a game over on Hourai Doll.
Thankfully I managed to beat the stage on my very next attempt.
-
Hell yeah cleared the blue walls, now nothing can st- *QED'd*
FUCKING
GODDAMNIT IT'S ALWAYS EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER
-
After months of on-and-off attempts I still can't beat PoFV's lunatic CPU while using Shikieiki. A tier list describes Shikieiki's anti-AI abilities thusly,
"As is often the case, her fiercest attack becomes child play to the AI, and one of her weakest against-human attacks becomes like kryptonite---her boss attack laser. The random nature of this makes defeating the AI quite frustrating when the stars don't align and a piece of cake when they do."
What they failed to mention is that said aligning of the stars which makes it a piece of cake happens once every other Century. I suppose I could turn to another character more aptly equipped to combat the CPU but that would feel like a big time sell-out.
Anyway, this isn't very RAGE-inducing since my determination to one day stand triumphant over them all continues to increase with each beating I receive. One day, one day. ;D
-
What the hell. WHAT THE FREAKING HELL WAS THAT, FLANDRE?
I capture ATWTBN.
I capture QED.
BUT I DIE ON FREAKING FOUR OF A KIND? AJSGDASDASKJDSRFDSFFDS
-
Is it just me or do the Four of a Kind clones shield Flandre at times?
Gotta love these runs when all 3 clones are dead but Flandre still has over half HP :V
-

Sometimes, thanks to random movement.
You can still take the card out fairly quickly just by staying under the Flandre with the spell circle, which... apparently is not quite as obvious as it should be~

The more obvious thing is, I can't watch the entire screen at once ::)
All I know is that she goes left a bit where it is a bit easier to dodge the initial barrage, but then she tends to run off to the other side....
More rage. UFO. Stage 4. For some reason, I still pull suicidal stunts to get the red UFOs when the entire screen is filled with crap.
2 deaths right at the beginning of stage 4. Reset.
-
The more obvious thing is, I can't watch the entire screen at once ::)
Japan laughs at your feeble humanity
Going left at first is the best way to start. The first set of blue bullet rings is also fired by the real Flandre, so if she drifts away early on you can find her that way as well.
-
It seems like whenever I stay home alone to play Touhou to avoid interruptions, the phone rings much more often than usual. Not rage inducing in itself, but more when I return and I find the phone call put me out of flow.
-
Four of a Kind can actually become trivial with enough practice. The main idea is to try to keep an area around your character within your attention, it's a skill that you only get with time, but you'll develop it the more you play.
As for Four of a Kind, the different colors of spheres are aimed in different ways, although I can't exactly remember all the colors. Some are based on your position while some are based on the Flandre's position. If you try and look at how they are shot you should be able to determine how they work.
I actually end up killing the clones before Flandre when I clear the card, mainly because I used ReimuA and she tends to lock on to the clones as they fly around.
-
UFO extra.
1) The faeries which fill the screen with 3 different flavours of crap.
2) Kogasa. Shou is a good candidate at becoming this game's Orin, but Kogasa comes back to annoy you AGAIN.
First spellcard - lol hitboxes.
Second - Kanako has card like this on Hard/Lunatic, and it's actually fun there.....but not here. The bullets speed up and completely screw me over.
Third - MY EYES
Not to mention when you bomb, the lasers won't stop and by the time you see anything with SanaeB's bomb, you probably already have an active laser planted right on you.
Nue.....her nonspells are Mokou fast, her spells are kind of easy to capture though.....then suddenly, Danmaku Chimera.
FFFFFFFFFFFF
-
PCB Stage 4
-
PCB Stage 4
Heh, I remember losing 3 lives there on Normal once.....
And UFO. FFFFFFFFFFF.
I get a good run, started Nue with 5 lives.
Guess what, I lose them ALL at the red ufo card.
Bad run, not a single red saucer, entered Nue with 1 life, perfect run until Danmaku Chimera which used me as toilet paper.
IS THERE ANY LOGIC IN THAT
-
Nue.....her nonspells are Mokou fast, her spells are kind of easy to capture though.....then suddenly, Danmaku Chimera.
FFFFFFFFFFFF
Most of Mokou's nonspells are slowish though...
Danmaku Chimera is a matter of not getting clipdeathed as you make slight vertical movements and back-and-forth horizontal movements. It's difficult to pick up on, but once you get it you won't miss it.
I hope her seventh card is the same way. It's still horrible in every sense of the word.

The problem is that I always clip away whatever the amount of lives is not even 1/2 in.
Oh well, atleast that her boss theme is win. Best one in Extra so far IMO.
And her 7th one.....isn't that the black cloud with danmaku coming out?
The rainbow UFO's also make me worried. And the survival.

I wouldn't say it's the best boss theme, but it's definitely the darkest sounding one, which is rather fitting for an extra stage.

PCB Stage 4
Heh, I remember losing 3 lives there on Normal once.....
"Once"? So damn lucky... Well, I've just lost 38 lives in Normal, after 9 tries... being 1 year without playing anything at all is really bad for your health XD
So, remember this kids: do NOT EVER think about taking a vacation from Touhou!!! NEVER!!! ARRRGGHHH!!! RAAAAEEEEGG!!! I HATE YOU LILY WHITEEEEEEEERRRRGHHHHH!!!!!
-
And her 7th one.....isn't that the black cloud with danmaku coming out?
The rainbow UFO's also make me worried. And the survival.
It would be more correct to say that the seventh one has danmaku with the black cloud covering it.
Rainbow UFOs is clipgarbagetastic.
The survival card is tame enough as long as you understand how the bullets move.
-
Stage 5 of UFO... Somehow managed to get there before my first continue, got finished off by Nazrin's card =/ Decided to go ahead and continue, see if I could make it through... That stage is a FREAKING NIGHTMARE!!!! I bombspammed most of my way through it trying again, two more times. BOTH TIMES, I managed to reach Shou's third card with one life left... Both times, I got destroyed... Shou still isn't as tough as Youmu from PCB though...
EDIT: Decide to start over. Apparently Shou's laser is a skill drain attack, I can't even play Stage 1 worth anything anymore T_T Gaah...
-
Sanae's story, Utsuho's last spellcard in Unthinkable Natural Law. Murdered my last two lives. Is there some kind of trick to it?
-
1 death, 0 bomb clear of SA S3 Lunatic.
*insert jumbled letters here*
-
Why does stage 5 of UFO remind me of Stage 5 of SA? ...Oh yeah, because in both of them, the boss is FREAKING TOUGH and both of them are entirely capable of killing me before the stage title shows up <.<;
-
No... No... NOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE SHOU! I HATE HER HATE HER HAAAAAATTTEEEE HEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got past Murasa with six lives, SIX! I had captured every single one of Nazrin's and Ichirin's cards, all of Kogasa's except her final which I died, then decided "Screw it" and sparked her to death (Marisa A = <3 <.< >.>) and all of Murasa's except her first, which I deathbombed once. I goot to Shou with four or five lives left (Forgot which) and was down to one life, no bombs by her final one. I lost... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
"VoWG" timeout; 1 death, 0 bombs.
The death was horrible. I ran into an amulet wall as opposed to clipping them while trying to position myself.
-
"Hey I hate Extra as SanaeA, let's unlock it with MarisaA!"
"Man this is going pretty well, no deaths or bombs for the first three stages!"
"I am so gonna beat up Mura- oh shit I died in the stage portion of Stage 4."
"Oh well, let's just keep going, it's only one de- what the fuck, I died again."
"Just remember to bomb, you'll miss out on a few UFOs, but there's so many tha- GOD DAMMIT I DIED AGAIN."
"Okay okay okay, you're at Murasa. She's easy, just don't pa- did i seriously just die at her opening attack"
"Anchors? These are easy, all I have to do i- shit, I forgot MarisaA only hits right in front of her. Oh well, captured."
"Second card! Y'know I remember right after UFO came out and this card always clipped m- *gets clipped*"
"This is so stupid. At least her third anchor attack is eas- WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT BULLET MARISA'S LASER BLENDED IN WITH IT"
"Oh god I have no lives left and I hate her survival card BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB"
Then I beat Murasa, had a perfect Stage 5 run somehow, then died to Shou's opener and ragequitted. :V
This happened again, only I was using ReimuA, had a perfect Shou run as well, and lost my remaining lives to the Space Invaders fairies. Herp derp how does I dodged bullets :V
-
:(
I spent about 6 tries on Kogasa today, trying to mimic Baity in the video he/she (make up your mind damnit) uploaded. Every time I failed through clipdeath.

You'd be (un?)surprised that most of my deaths on that very Spell Card was a clipdeath. Now if I could just do this with the other 50% of not boxing myself in...
Also, feel free to call me whatever gender you wish; I don't seem to mind.
As an aside, I love this color change <3

Welcome to the idiot pantheon~
Also, the yin-yang orbs on the start of stage 6 have caused tons of ragequits.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-
I AM SO BAD AT HRtP THAT THIS IS WORTH WRITING
EVEN ON EASY STAGE 15 KIKURI IS IMPOSSIBLE
Oh, god...
-
There are two kinds of people when it comes to HRtP: Those who understand the tactics needed to manipulate the ball and achieve optimal accuracy and score, and those who scream, wave their gohei around wildly and get crushed by Reimu's big fat balls. Also the former contains enough people to count on two hands. >_>
-
and those who scream, slide around wildly and get crushed by Reimu's big fat balls.
That would be me.
-
For the record, I spam sliding for speed / scoring and a smaller hitbox. It also gives out rather consistent hits; by that I mean that the trajectory of the ball upon contact is well... predictable.
Of course, there are time where it's required to not slide and actually use some other technique to hit the ball for greater precision.
...
Also the former contains enough people to count on two hands. >_>

Ergh, I can defend myself with the amulets and gohei pretty well; it's just that I suck at aiming the ball at the target. In a boss fight, the ball hits the boss once every blue moon, and the longer the battle goes on, the more likely I'll screw up. When I actually try to aim it, I end up doing something foolish and kill myself in the process...
HRtP is much too different than the Touhou games that I'm used to. Oh, and the fact that I'm also not good at pinball-style games doesn't help at all :(
Well, I guess that's all for today.
-
When Zun made SoEW, did he know what "Easy" meant? I'm pretty sure stages 1 to 3 are MUCH harder on Easy than on Normal. I don't remember a lot of those stages on Normal, but I know I didn't have any trouble with them, save the stupid death I get every time because I fail notice a bullet. On Meira's last attack phase, she starts throwing bouncing balls of doom. There were 6 when I played on Easy, and I don't remember ever seeing more than 4 on Normal. Also, the lasers attack phase of Boss 3 (the ship/tank thing) seemed much faster on Easy.
At least Marisa and Mima felt easier than on Normal, so Easy mode might still be easier than Normal, but still, WTF.
-
Uuuugh. Perfect Ichirin battle for UFO stage 3 lunatic. The stage overall was 0 bombs, 0 UFOs and 1 miss to the second yin-yang spam, which I can usually cap without much problem. So damn close... T.T
On a related note, Ichirin's first boss card is a horrific abomination that needs to be cleansed with fire.
-
Danmaku Chimera is actually capturable now, but the green ufo card.....meh.
If I move under her, the close ufos don't get destroyed giving me zero space to dodge the small lasers, and if I don't, I don't even get to get her HP to zero before it times out :V
-
...I hate stage 5... Finish stage 4 with seven lives, SEVEN! I reach Shou with two... That's right, TWO FREAKING LIVES!!! That probably means that I lost more lives than I had to start the stage with, what with all the red UFOs... And then Shou obliterates me utterly. Why is stage 5 so FREAKING STUPID!!!! If it were just a tiny bit easier, I'd probably have already 1cc'd this game...

If you lost so much lives, there's something you're doing wrong. Don't go for UFOs in this stage unless they're right next to you, it's not worth the risks. Focus only on surviving and you should get a much easier time in this stage
-

Your memory isn't quite working properly...

Syou's Spinning Laser Wall (cbf with name) timeout.

But that's normal.
It's almost an accomplishment if you don't die in the process.
-
Just remember that the laser always moves the same way every time.
It takes about three laps around Shou to kill her with any of the A-characters, not sure about the B-characters. I'd assume SanaeB's shotgunning would help quite a bit.

i think you're doing something wrong.. i've been to that stage twice and on my second try i did it without dying at all. i can't say anything for Shou, as i always have 0-1 lives left when i get to her because Murasa murders me.
-
PCB Stage 4
That stage gives you more than 400 point items... it's not that hard. PCB is probably the 2nd easiest in the series because of the amount of lives and the borders... easiest being MoF. It's still fun though!
On another note, how the hell do you clear Nazrin's final spellcard on hard? I always seem to panic on it!

The result of 3 hours practicing UFO extra?
A double K.O.
And no, I didn't save the replay. I was very, very angry.
I've worked out to do every card apart from Blue UFO and her damned survival card. The latter should be easy but I keep twitch-deathing OVER and OVER. It's like ATWTBN mark 2.
-
Argh! I was trying so hard to unlock EoSD extra stageby doing normal 1cc, and I make it to remilia with 3 lives and 1 bomb (plenty!) and I die to a thing wasting a life and 3 bombs :( then the screen was clear and I move to avoid the incoming wave and I apperently hit the very last projectile on the edge of the far side of the screen causing me to lose another life and 3 bombs.
Just 2-3 bombs or a life and I would've made it :(
-
The Breakdown of my UFO Extra attempts:
85%=Die at the first random fairies, or the second random fairies[the ones that shoot straight down] (Restart)
6%=Die at Kogasa (restart) [I have no problem bombing Kogasa, just dying is bad]
5%=Die two or more times at the part between Kogasa and Nue (restart)
4%=Get to Nue, Mess up exactly one card(messing up being dying twice or more, which ALWAYS HAPPENS), and watch myself start sucking hard due to the power loss. (restart due to GAME OVER)
SO YEAH. It's mainly the FUCKING 80% OF THE TIME I DIE AT THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO MUCH.
-
I hate Shou. About the only attack of hers that I don't have much of a problem with is her last noncard, because the lasers move slower than in her other patterns. Everything else she has just murders me though, with the occasional exception of her first spellcard.
-
12/13 card capture run of UFO Extra. The card that killed me? Green UFOs.
I'm going to go slam my head in the doorway now.
-
UFO Lunatic. That is all.
-
...Got killed by the orb on stage 4 less than a second before it dropped its item, therefore turning the extend into a bomb T_T
-
It is at this point that I would like to say that UFO Extra is possibly the single stupidest stage ZUN has ever made, and likely ever will, because if he ever makes one stupider, I'M NOT GOING TO FREAKIN' PLAY IT ON ACCOUNT OF UNGODLY STUPIDITY.
-
On Meira's last attack phase, she starts throwing bouncing balls of doom. There were 6 when I played on Easy, and I don't remember ever seeing more than 4 on Normal.
Your memory isn't quite working properly...
Tried a Normal run to test this, and yes, there were more than 4, up to 6 usually. But one or two of them always went away almost immediately, so I didn't notice them before because they weren't a threat.
And I know now why I find Easy harder than Normal. There are less enemies. Less enemies = less power = enemies have the time to be a total pain before dying.
-
So I transported all my Touhou games to my new computer with my trusty USB drives (well, I had to cut PoFV and UNL for room, but whatever :V), and was testing the vsynch patches for all the games (I hope TSO's advice will help me get it to work with EoSD, or else I'm going to be very sad). I opened up PCB and...I couldn't select stage practice for Marisa A. Then it hit me: It had been THAT long since I updated PCB on here. I've been updating the games on these drives since April of last year ever since a virus nearly killed our computer, but this...this means I haven't updated PCB in particular in 8 months. D: And to think I've updated SA as recently as a week ago!
-
You finally got a computer, uh!
Is it a gaming one?
And I'm pissed because I just lost to Suika in Koumajou Densetsu. Damn that high damage she does! >=O
-
Good luck with the EoSD vsync patch. :V
OT, GODDAMNIT YUKARI. My latest no-focus Phantasm attempt ended halfway through Humans and Youkai. I only captured one spell card in the whole level, lol.
-
Donut, if you run anything that is not Firefox, you die.
If you run IE6, YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY DIES FIRST.
:V
Also re: RAGE, I am not liking the UFO chaining thingy on Extra at all because I don't want to memorize EVERY SINGLE ONE. This is NOT GOOD STAGE DESIGN WHEN MEMORIZATION IS NOT HELPFUL BUT AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR SURVIVAL.
-
I can't 1CC Normal with MarisaB. I've done it with everyone else. I even went into stage 6 with max lives with MarisaA. But I just can't do it with MarisaB.
I guess this isn't rage so much as sadness.
-
Imperishable Night.
Marisa.
Hard mode.
FFFFFFFFFFFF
First 2 stages ok, I usually completely screw up Keine, but Marisa.....
I usually leave 3 lives on that stage. I can't capture a single card.
Reisen compared to Marisa is a stage 1 midboss, except for Mind Stopper all of her cards are pretty much trivial....
-
...QED's timeout phase. Jesus Christ holy crap what the hell there's like two or three ripples per second. It felt like it suddenly turned into VoWG run through some kind of blender. @_@
-
Attempted timeout of this (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object:_Stage_6_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_92). Hilarity-Rage ensues for the extra phase at the end.

...I just died to FREAKING KOAKUMA!!!!! That has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! ...That's it, no more EoSD today >.<

Shou's vajras (<-green bars) can go back to nirvana. There was one time where I captured it, but that was Beginner's Fluke.
-
My God if I hadn't made such stupid mistakes I might have finished that run of UFO Hard... my first death was on stage 3 followed immediately by another death ten seconds later. I then died on Stage 4 midboss Nue and then died again trying to get the bomb. I then died twice on CAPTAIN MURASA's third card. I then got Stage 5'd and Shou'd, as usual, which ended with me dying with two bombs in stock on her third non-card. Man... that run started so well, too. I perfected Stage 1 and only used 1 bomb in Stage 2, before of course it all went to hell.
-
I managed to break IN! Yay! Just when I wanted to play it...
-
God damnit I hate IN Hard. It's so hard! =P
-
Okay...my first lagless UFO hard run. It went from not dying until Ichirin's first spell card and grabbing the stage 4 boss' 1up, to losing 3 lives on stage 4, sucking it up on stage 5, and running into Syou on her last spell card with a bomb in stock..
Methinks I need to learn this stage 4 better.
-
After taking a small break from the games, I try and see how far I can go in UFO on normal. I perfect stages 1 & 2, clip a bullet in stage 3 and make it past Ichirin after dying once and using a few bombs. Then came stage 4, where I clip a bullet during midboss Nue and another bullet later on in the stage that spawned right in my face. Murasa shows up, and I nearly time her first 2 spellcards out due to her jumping to the other side of the screen. I die and bomb her 3rd card and clip 2 bullets early on in her survival card, ending my run.
In my frustration, I accidentally hit "Continue" before saving the replay so I could see how I did her 1st and 2nd card.
-
You know what I just realized? There's a reason UFO seems so much harder than SA. Not necessarily because it is (I certainly think it's the hardest to date), but because I started with everyone else! I didn't seriously start SA past normal until 5 months after the game came out, which by then tons of strategies were known. Now, I'm just so lost...I hope that within 5 months we will have managed this game as well as SA, down to knowing the optimal UFO collection. Until then...
SCREW YOU STAGE 5.
-
SCREW YOU STAGE 5.
Stage portion only?
EDIT for below: yeah um... my timetable is busy Monday's. Unless you plan to wait 4-5 hours for my demonstration, then I would probably suggest you sleep :V
I got the whole thing basically covered.
-
No, the entire thing, equally in both ways. Screw you UFOs that force you to basically run into the thick of bullets to get your preferred UFO, screw you second half that after a point shoves random bullets an inch away from you, screw you lasers that move too quickly to gauge their trajectory (Syou's second non-spell), screw you static spell cards that guarantee a tight claustrophobic squeeze EVERY time, screw you rotating lasers with bullets that have hitboxes that reach out to touch you...
Actually, I guess that's more Syou than stage, but the whole thing is just augh. It'd be fun if it weren't so augh.
-
Absolute failure to not get destroyed by lunatic Cirno every single time. I can see myself getting through Meiling, Patchy and Sakuya just fine with only a bit more practice, but I get ⑨'ed so hard by Cirno that I'm running on fumes by the time I enter stage 3. Damn you Perfect Freeze backstabs, Hailstorm/Diamond Blizzard clipdeaths and, mostly, Cirno Shotgun.

I can see myself getting through Meiling, Patchy and Sakuya just fine with only a bit more practice, but I get ⑨'ed so hard by Cirno that I'm running on fumes by the time I enter stage 3. Damn you Perfect Freeze backstabs, Hailstorm/Diamond Blizzard clipdeaths and, mostly, Cirno Shotgun.
Cirno's opener is one of the hardest. I think you can redirect the first 2 shots, but for the 3rd you must micro-dodge it.

I always found Cirno's opening to be pretty hard until I realized that you can camp directly above her for major graze points and a nice safe spot to shoot her from. Then she becomes easy since you can get her to go to hailstorm without her firing another series of spread waves. I don't know why, but the spread waves are infinitely more annoying on lower difficulties than on hard or lunatic.

With every passing day I'm becoming more and more suspicious of the PoFV lunatic AI. I believe that some form of malignant intelligence have taken up residence inside the game, full of spite and sadistic intent. Today I had a match against lunatic Shikieiki in which the AI acted quite weird in the first round, getting itself hit in a rather clumsy fashion. After a minute had passed it was down to the last bit of health and before 01:20, I had taken the first round. It repeated this process in the second round, getting itself down to minimal health by 01:50. At this point I was almost shaken, my first victory against lunatic Shikieiki was within reach... but I was also a bit disappointed that this grand moment would be because the AI had played such a bad game, it certainly wouldn't make for an impressive replay.
I needn't had worried though, for as soon as it reached this final point, the AI swung the match around. I threw boss after boss against it, the lasers flew (I even saw the AI avoid a laser beam that should rightfully have hit it. Atleast it would have been hit by it in any regular match!) but still the AI held itself in the game. A couple of moments later and the winner had become the loser.
The AI let me take that first round and then let itself drop down to minimal health in order to give me hope, which it would destroy the very next minute. The third round was a massacre. :(

I just died at UFO's last boss 2nd spell card (the butterfly one) TWICE on NORMAL
It's so freaking trival at normal it isn't funny how did I manage to die not once but TWICE to this garbage spellcard? >:(

the lasers materialize a bit too fast imo....then you forget to tap slightly and there goes one life.
Pretty much every Byakuren's attack except for the opener and her second to last one is on my touhou shitlist.

WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL ARGH MY GOD SO CLOSE JESUS EFFING CHRIST
*deep breaths*
So, I failed my UFO Hard 1cc at Legendary Flying Saucer on its final phase with a bomb in stock. I had just previously died on her zig-zag card with two bombs in stock from a bullet I didn't even see. I'm raging pretty hard. :V
EDIT: WHAT THE HELL
...
OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL
I TRIED AGAIN AND I DIED AS HIZIRI WAS EXPLODING
WHAT
THE
HELL
AAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKLHASLASDJ;SF
-
And that's why I'm holding out on higher difficulties until the English patch comes out.
I damn well want to read that reward message.
-
So, I've been trying to play UFO Normal instead of Easy... Barely manage to ever get past stage 4, and the furthest I've gotten is Shou's 2nd nonspell. Ichirin's first and final cards are FREAKING HARD on Normal mode, and I'm actually capable of dying to her midboss and 2nd cards. Oh, and her 2nd nonspell is really annoying too >.<
And then there's Murasa... She's like fifty billion times harder on Normal than Easy .-. I am now often dying to her NONspells, as well as all her cards. I can occasionally capture her first and third, though the anchor on the first keeps getting me, and the third is tough. However, her second card is a FREAKING NIGHTMARE that gets a reaction of "SPARK! FREAKING MASTER SPARK! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!!!" (Marisa A ftw!) every single time... Survival card is annoying if just for how long you have to survive, but can't really compare to her second card in sheer "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL!?" factor IMO...
-
I think i'm starting to hate Stage 6 UFO. On freaking Normal difficulty. I hate her final spellcard and that non-spell where she moves around the screen. Also, Flying Fantastica. That one sucks big time as well!
Yeah. Final spellcard... hate the way the amulets clusters together at the end. Makes me want to kill someone.
Also. Just a slight annoyance compared to Byakurin (Bakarin, lol). When playing VoWG there seem to be a random factor to it that decides if you capture the card or not. Sometimes you'll get throw so many overlapping waves in your direction that you can't get around them and the only way to survive is to go through the seals. When things are moving at that speed it feels painfully cheap. When the spell doesn't do that its a godly experience but it BS occurs. (Well, some people probably don't have problems going through that gap but i find it unfair still...)

I did a Marisa A 1cc just after reading this post. The fact that you can't see immediately above you (because of Marisa's lasers) is immensely annoying, and caused at least two of the deaths in this run. That and an absolute NIGHTMARE start against Syou caused me to go from 7-8 lives in stock at the end of stage 4 to 1 after Byakuren.
Fantasica is serious bullshit when you can't see what's right above you.
-
I hate Byakuren. Why must her last card ALWAYS end every 1cc I ever do, except for the fluke I pulled with Sanae A to unlock extra?
Speaking of last cards, I'm sick of Nue killing me with hers as well. I've reached it no less than five times....
-

Join the club. We have bumper stickers.

ARE.
YOU.
FREAKING.
KIDDING ME?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I reach Ichirin with 8 lives, which is absolutely freaking amazing. Then, due to lag, (my BRAND NEW computer is pure evil...) I'm ending up looking at my FPS instead of around my hitbox, and die to her FIRST FREAKING NON-SPELL!!!! I also die to her first spell too... Most of the rest of the run is a blur, but I beat Ichirin with five lives left, end up getting a freaking RAINBOW UFO when I'm trying to get a red because some stupid blue or green one is in the way, I die to the midboss... I think I had three or four lives upon reaching Murasa. I don't remember what happened on her nonspells or her first, but I somehow managed to capture that nightmarish 2nd card, and I died to her third. I was finished off by her survival card, by a bullet that should NOT have hit me...
And now I'm so frustrated that I literally feel sick... And out of energy... Gaah...
EDIT: Here's a replay if anyone is interested in seeing the fail... http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4517

[10:17] <BaitySM> almost captured curving lasers at lunatic
[10:17] <BaitySM> died at the moment the spell card was done
And I'm still attempting to unlock Stage 6 for SanaeB legitimately.
EDIT: finally over.
-
So, I decided to try some SA Easy since UFO Normal was pure infinite hell, see if I could 1cc it. I almost did it too. Except, I messed up against Satori's first spell card, and Orin's Stage 6 midboss card. I also made the mistake of trying to dodge Utsuho's fourth card instead of bombspamming it... Gaah... Well, I'm gonna try again, maybe I'll actually do it this time...
-
Wha... Wha... What the hell...? I tried to play MoF Normal... I had forgotten just how disturbingly absurd Stage 4 was... That entire stage is broken to the point of being virtually unplayable... And Aya is... *shudders*
-
MoF Hard
3 deaths to Nitori
1 death at stage 4
1 death to Aya
1 death at stage 5
1 death to Sanae
1 death to Kanako's second to last spell..
game over.
god damnit if i had one more life...
-
I know Shikieiki in PoFV lunatic is supposed to be all-powerful and stuff but this is ridiculous.
I've gotten perfect runs of Aya and Komachi twice, but then Shikieiki takes off five lives and I gameover.
Isn't the AI supposed to be easier after it wins a few times? No matter what I do she gets to the last half-heart and then will not die. Then her EX combined with her boss attacks (I spend more time in one than not) eventually smother me.
gaaaaah
-
After multiple "surprised by Kogasa" ragemeltdowns (move over, wrigglekick), I got a pretty good UFO hard run going.... until it crashed to desktop when entering stage 4. waaaaa
-
What is it about EoSD? I bomb when I really don't need to, often don't bomb when I do, often die to Rumia and Cirno, always bomb and/or die to Rainbow Wind Chime because it makes me dizzy when it changes directions...
In this particular run, I actually do okay early on, and even in most of stage 4... And yet, I end up deathbombing Koakuma (What the hell?! Koakuma is easy...) end up just bombspamming Patchouli, get my lives ripped through at the beginning of stage 5, yet somehow manage to make it all the way to Remilia.
And so, I give you... The Embodiment of Scarlet Insanity: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4523

Died on Danmaku Chimera with pretty much no health left.

I would've had about 3 Perfect Stage 5 runs by now for UFO (Hard). Guess what's stopped me?
Syou's 2nd non-spell / AP.

I feel your pain. Change your mode to hard, remove all instances of bombing (I strangely never bomb to save myself), and include more stupid deaths to Rumia and Cirno, and that's me.

UFO EXTRA IS COMPLETELY IDIOTIC WHAT THE HELL ZUN
-
...I hate my computer. My FPS kept changing randomly, one moment it would be up at sixty-five, the next it would be in the thirties...
Also, I ended up timing out Gorgeous Sweet Flower, missing the Extend, I died to knife fairies on Stage 3, but I somehow managed to capture Meiling's first two spell cards... I got utterly destroyed on stage 4 because I was seriously raging over my computer and couldn't concentrate on the game... Gaah...
And on an unrelated note... How is it that when I'm uber-epic-failing, I often manage to capture the cards that give me the most trouble? .-. I epic-failed on this run, but captured Rainbow Wind Chime, and epic failed on a UFO run, yet somehow managed to capture Murasa's absolute nightmare second card... *sigh*
-
I played Touhou 3 times yesterday.
Died at Byakuren's final spell with Mari B normal (the only char I'm left to 1cc normal with).
Died at Yukari's last spell with Sakuya A Phantasm (what would have been first Phantasm 1cc).
Died at Remilia's last spell with Mari A hard on EoSD (what would have been first EoSD hard 1cc).
Pretty rage day for me...
Giving it a days rest. Hopefully tomorrow will be better :P
-
UFO Extra.
Survival Card. Died at 0 (!) seconds on the second (!!!) time I encountered the card..
Final Card. Almost captured it and died on the final phase. On first (!!!!!) try I got so far.
NUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
-
Nue raged me to no end. Lots of dumb death here and there.. I absolutely refused to watch a replay. Eventually I got it. You can too.. Just hang in there!

Nue's nothing.
KOISHI IS THE REAL DEAL.
-
To be honest I really hate SA. The chars are so weak and it doesn't feel fun. Did a 1cc with Reimu A/C on normal and left it at that.
Recenty a friend led me onto the vsync patch though. Now I'll all about the older games. Though I still can't beat Phantasm or EoSD extra heh.
At least now it feels like MY fault, not the keyboards fault.
-
I just played around with LSI Lunatic. God, is it a ragefest. I'd almost say that Apollo 13 Lunatic is VoWG Lunatic compared to it. (And i hate Apollo 13 Lunatic but at least its managable... can't believe i actually said that)
-
OK... The fifth boss of UFO Syou shou whatever her name is...
EVERY SINGLE SPELL CARD OF HERS COMBINDS SEVERAL OF MY MOST HATED ATTACKS FROM EARLIER TOUHOU GAMES!!!!
I'm lucky I beat her though.
-
...300,000 points away from an extend when I lose my last life to the first two fairies of EoSD Stage 5. Gaaah...
EDIT: Happened again, but this time, replace "300,000" with "200,000" and the fairies with midboss Sakuya's spellcard... Gaah... I was like ONE FREAKING SECOND away from capping it and getting an extend T_T

-
Normal easier than Easy?
Oh well that doesn't make sense to me at all, silly moon logic!
I shall try normal then I suppose now!
-
So anyway... I exit the Patchouli battle with FIVE LIVES after having gotten through her nonspells unscathed, and capturing both Metal Fatigue and Water Elf. As I finish off Sakuya, I have ONE FREAKING LIFE LEFT!!! I manage to reach Remilia, who just pretty much goes, "You're not worth my time" and blasts me with her first nonspell. Yay.
Here's the replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4533

Just the spellcard Mountain of Faith. The rest of the game is still harder.
-
Doh, got my hopes up.
Whelp, hopefully I can get the replay doodad function to stop going at 30fps for a change so I can practice. I will be victorious!
-
Okay, so I reach Murasa with seven lives, no bombs. I manage to avoid dying until her third nonspell. I come out of her battle with five lives, reach Shou with... I think four. I get finished off as Shou's third card is ending... Gaah...
-
So I just finished recording my LP of EoSD (WORST PLAYTHROUGH EVER, I DIED ON ONE OF RUMIA'S NONCARDS)...and the game sound didn't record. So I get to do it again, WITHOUT SUCKING IT UP this time, because OHGODWHATTHEHELL.
-
Why is MoF the easiest to 1cc again?
Trying to 1cc on Hard, I could do default lives on EoSD, IN and PCB with some more attempts, but MoF is just.....rage.
Stage 1, cool, Stage 2, cool.
Nitori - 2 lives lost. Back to default 3.
Stage 4 - constant walling, WTF midboss. Aya is rather easy compared to the stage.
Stage 5 - I can barely 1cc it here. Thank god for the hueg bomb stock, as Sanae's cards never seem to give me more than 2 pixels of safety.
If I could make it to Kanako with 4 lives, I would pretty much win(If I wouldn't clip VoWG 2 times like I did just now)
But the stage 4 walls......they make me cry. I couldn't make it past that on Lunatic through continue spam.(wanted to see VoWG, lol)
-

AND THEN DIED AFTER HER!
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WILL I NEVER 1CC THIS GAME!?
-
Died AS NUE'S SURVIVAL CLEARED. As in, SHE WAS BACK ON THE SCREEN.
RRRRRGH.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot. Yesterday I was playing IN extra with someone OTHER than the border team (decided I've played it a bit too much with broken team and now that I've beaten it no deaths I may as well play with others), I really sucked with the Ghost team. I ended up doing that impossible thing where I game overed as Mokou was exploding. Then I went back again and trashed her but still...
Also, the border team gets a bad reputation for breaking the extra stage, but I don't see why. Yuyuko and her wide shot break it just as badly, arguably even worse.
-
Am i the only one who considers "breaking the stage" a good thing in an extra stage? I only go there for the boss. Not for restarting because of mistakes in the stage.
Actually, the stage might as well not even be there. SA Extra Stage-portion was part of the reason i stopped caring about SA Extra. The stage is easy enough but very monotonous and getting clipped is likely to occur.
-
The last hour and a half was spent clipdeathing Byakuren hard. I'm more pissed right now than I have ever been at a game in a long time, because I'm incompetent.
Fuck Byakuren, and fuck me for dying in all the spots I should NOT have.
-
*breaks keyboard in a million pieces*
This time i got to VoWG 1/3
I died with less than 10% life remaining and i still had a bomb.
i seriously can't do this anymore.
-
- How I don't understand yet how flying works, making a lot of spellcards almost completely impossible to dodge (lol juggle). Maybe I should just stay on the ground and take a little damage all the time, but that's boring.
- How I seem to backdash all the time when trying to go forward. Because the bullets don't disappear in Story Mode, backdashing is a sure way to get hit everytime.
- How Reisen is so damn useless.
In case it's not very obvious by now, I completely freaking suck at SWR and it pisses me off whenever I want to play.

VoWG is a real bastard to beat. The best way of clearing it is to stay under Kanako as often as you can and to leave it as late as possible to start bombing - if you do that, you can have the card down to 30-40% health before the waves start overlapping in a way that's difficult to dodge and necessitate bombing. Other than that, don't give up, it'll all be worth it when you manage it. :)

Imperishable Night extra stage. the final spell card with only 3 bombs left, I gave everything I had and it went better than spell practice, and then with about 10 seconds left till death I get hit by one of those retarded moving ball chains and die >.< soooo close!

Wall spamming fairies? Check.

Annoying midboss? Check.
And as a bonus, UFOs which lure you into bullet walls.
I'd say if you can make it out with 4 and a half of a life, you've got a good run :V
Though SA extra is harder IMO:p

I just died the instant I captured QED. Or rather, a nano second before Flan exploded.
First time I've swore and had much gnashing of the teeth because of a video game.
No really, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
I saved the replay, I should probably make a video out of it. Anyone has some sorrowful violin music?

Yeah. That's, like, required for anyone trying to capture Q.E.D. Happened to me twice before I captured it.
-
First attempt at MoF Hard in a month. Reach Kanako with 3 lives in stock. Died to whatever Yamato Torus is called on Hard, but that's kind of normal. But then, I died twice to Kanako's non-spell right after it. I got surprised by how much harder this is compared to the Lunatic one. In the second phase, the purple knives are harder to see, and you can't clear it by tapping to the sides. And the third phase gives you nice lines that are easy to read on Lunatic.
Reached VoGW 0/4.00 and died when she had 1/4 of her health left.
My first death occured in post-Momiji spam, so I'm still much better than before, when I died twice in stage 3 every time.
-
I'm just gonna follow the crowd here and say I've been Q.E.D.'d my fair share, too. <_< Happened to me most recently after I had just perfected the entire rest of the stage. I'm thinking it actually actively and maliciously tries to piss people off by killing you at the worst possible moments after you think you're in the clear.
-
I sneezed just as I was about to capture Byakuren's Final Spell Card, meaning that I would've captured each Spell Card at least once.

Take a look at my replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4548
I actually clear that non-card without a bomb.
You can just tap to run from the red knives and then "skip" a purple one when you get the chance, that way you never get hit by them.
I really freaked out at stage 6... I used two bombs in a row during the stage, in VoWG you can see I used a bomb for no reason at all other than that I was shaking too much, and then I died with a bomb in stock... I could have cleared with 2 more bombs I think...
Oh well :(

Actually, the stage might as well not even be there. SA Extra Stage-portion was part of the reason i stopped caring about SA Extra. The stage is easy enough but very monotonous and getting clipped is likely to occur.
The stage shouldn't be trivializable IMO. That defeats the purpose.
Unfortunately the only people who don't trivialize IN Extra's stage are... Marisa, Alice, Magic Team, and maybe Yukari. Y'know, the people nobody uses.
SA Extra is terrible not because the stage isn't trivial, but because there's only one way to do it.
Also, I find Border Team to be one of the most annoying shot types to play as because of their low damage output and because the cool kids use it and because the scorerunners use it and because the uncool kids use it exclusively
-

Haha...
Ordered by power (long range only)
0:24/0:09 Malice - Far (*3)
0:24/0:10 Youmu - Both hitting
0:27/0:10 Remilia (*3)
0:31/0:11 Yukari
0:36/0:13 Marisa - Far (*3)
Fourth most power with MAlice, third without, and it will always hit for at least some damage once locked on(provided you don't unfocus). It might not be the strongest, but it's close, and it's the easiest to use compared to Remilia and Youmu (and MAlice).
-
I actually don't have a problem with using Scarlet Team (or as it should be known, Remilia plus that useless maid) and would note that IIRC Remilia does more damage than Yukari if you're not firing directly on the boss.
-
I find Border Team the only one good for non-score playng....
Magic=crap
Netherworld.....unfocused=high power, focused=hueg shotgun? No thanks >.>
Scarlet....not really a fan of these "camping" familiars Remilia has(and MarisaC in MoF I think)
Border has a homing attack in unfocused, a nice, straight and wide laser while focused, with 2 cool survival traits to back it up.
Then again, it's just me. :V
-
Died to VoGW again, and now I'm shaking so much I can't even try again properly. My reaction time is pretty much inexistant. I let a bullet slowly collide with me when there wasn't anything else nearby (or maybe I ran into it, I'm not sure. Sometimes I press up instead of right).
-
I feel your pain.
I've just failed my 18th attempt :P
Ah well, I'll leave it for tomorrow... It pisses me off how much I have to restart because of deaths in 1st and 2nd stages though...
3rd and 4th I'm so ready to bomb if danger approaches that i rarely die on them... 5th stage is hell to me =(
-
Playing Mystical Chain. Beating up the Scarlet Sisters.
Somebody calls me. I press Esc on reflex to pause the game.
Fuck.
-
Died on Nue's survival card with 0.31 seconds and one bomb left.
No comment.
-
Well, that was disappointing. I just attempted PCB Lunatic again, and almost every single death had two or three bombs in stock, on top of which I kept dying retarded deaths on easy attacks. Didn't even make it to Stage 5. <_<
-
ARGHHH I get one good run of EoSD in. No lives lost on Hard Stages 1 and 2 save 1 to Perfect Freeze because I was stupid and ran into Cirno's bullet stream.
Then what do I do? I lose all my lives on Stage 3 and go into Stage 4 with 0 lives and 1 bomb. I die not to Patchouli nor the midboss, but to one of those monsters that shoot tons of bullets in a circular pattern over the screen. I'm going to go cry now.
-
Another death to VoWG :)
Make that 19!
-
SA stage 5, should explain itself.
I need a walkthrough for the boss fight or something, I can do everything except the boss fight and Catwalk.

~10 deaths to the first fairies.
3 to the two redwall fairies. All 3 when they fired a wave after dying.
1 to the powerspam. Fired a bullet after dying.
1 to the homing yin-yangs. Rammed one while trying to get rid of the blue UFO.
~5 to the swirly fairies. Crappy dodging.
5 to Kogasa's first card. Another 5 bombs. Captured it once.
5 to Kogasa's second card. Only one bomb.
This means that only once did I get past her second card without dying, on the last run. I go up to autocollect.
And I clip Kogasa.
What.

I need a walkthrough for the boss fight or something, I can do everything except the boss fight and Catwalk.
I found catwalk doable if you stop following Rin after her first pass (ending up in the bottom left corner), then concentrate on dodging the bullets. Since the bullets travel straight and you have time while they are frozen to see where they are going, you can position yourself to where you know you won't get hit and work on dodging each following ring. I hope that makes sense. If you keep following Rin to shoot her, the bullets will start coming while you're hedged in the right corner, and you'll have no room to dodge.
I see what you mean about Stage 5 though. Her "Needle Mountain of a former Hell" is stupid hard for me. The spinning spirit rings are so hard to see and dodge until it's too late.
And one other thing, Shou and his wonky curvy lasers can just go to hell.

Maybe I should add that I'm using MarisaB. For some stupid reason, it never occurred to me that I could probably use Earth formation for Catwalk and just stay at the top of the screen...
The stage (and even the noncards) are fine, but just about every single one of her spellcards are aggravating.
Shou's not a guy. (http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8541/themotj.gif)

It just happened again.
During what should have been a no-death, no-bomb clear.
But at least I managed to capture QED today - twice. In a row. And one of those was a no death clear, though I did bomb during "And Then Will There Be None?".
But I'm only going to settle for a no-death no-bomb clear. Maybe I'll get it tomorrow. I'm edging painfully closer everyday.

Okay, which one of you said Legendary Flying Saucer is easy for a final spell card? Come on, don't be shy (hides knife). It's a lot like how Sanae's midboss card would be if it weren't the speed of molasses and lasted for a long time with changing patterns: Terrifying.

/me raises hand
Apart from the fact that I suffer from clipping myself from bad trajectory reading, it isn't that bad.
Which Sanae Mid-Boss Spell Card are you talking about? There's 4 to choose from :V
Speaking of which, Stage 6 < Stage 5; Byakuren < Syou
MoF Lunatic < UFO Hard
SA Luantic < UFO Lunatic
And Minamitsu's survival: Normal < Lunatic < Hard
-
Goddamn Hina.
First time stage 2 made me ragequit.
I ALWAYS bombed just as her nonspells ended. And then I somehow touch the bullets by a nanopixel. Twice.
I'd rather dodge Cirno Shotgun on Lunatic for an hour than this.
MoF is easy, right.
-
Which Sanae Mid-Boss Spell Card are you talking about? There's 4 to choose from :V
Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku.
And my point is that it moves too fast to be read like most claustrophobic dodging cards.

Huh, really? *adds MoF Lunatic to the to-do list*
-
Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku.
And my point is that it moves too fast to be read like most claustrophobic dodging cards.
It moves... too fast?
The final phase moves ridiculously fast for bullets that come in from every angle. Imagine if Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku wasn't micromemorizable, had the same density, lasted a long time, and had bomb immunity, all while moving three times as fast as it usually does. That's Legendary Flying Saucer.
-
IN lunatic solo Reimu run. Got to final stage 4/0, things were going smoothly. Then when I'm 2/0 at Salamander Shield...
"Alright I'm in the clear here, I've got plenty of resources to oh dammit I clipped the damn card right when it ended oh well it's not that big a deal"
"Alright last nonspell, no need to worry since this is easy what the fuck I clipped a bullet and DIED EVEN THOUGH REIMU HAS A FIFTEEN-HUNDRED BILLION YEAR LONG DEATHBOMB TIMER WHAT THE HELL"
"Uh oh I suck at Hourai Jewel and I have no lives oh bomb, deathbomb and gameover all within 20 seconds of each other what the hell random out of nowhere choke that happened at the last possible minute fuck"
Of course I still captured LSI since that shit's easy. :V
-
So it isn't just me that the deathbomb timers are different every time?
I swear that everytime I get hit by Tewi, there is almost no deathbomb timer....
-
Deathbomb timers are much, much longer during spell cards.
Tewi doesn't use spell cards.
Conclusion: the Concealed. and out of order
-
Okay, now I hate Tewi even more.
I have yet to capture both attacks on normal.

I was thrown off by my lulzy 1/2 history on it when I first did a continue spam run of Lunatic. It's definitely harder than I originally gave it credit for, but I still haven't given it enough time to say where I'd put it in terms of difficulty compared to the other final spell cards.
-
...Two stupid deaths on stage 2. Manage to recover and reach the Prismriver Sisters with five lives. Die three times to them... ONE OF THEM BEING ON CONCERTO GROSSO! THEIR FINAL FREAKING EASY CARD!!!!!
-
I just put in a 100 attempts at timing out Spell 21 unfocused and i didn't even manage to pull it off. I don't know if i should consider it embarassing or not but most of all it was frustrating! I don't even know why i was trying to do that! A challenge to see if you can beat something with over-responsive controls. That card was designed for focused movement. What was i thinking?
No Focus Challenges are STUPID
-
No Focus Challenges are STUPID
Yes, yes they are (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4567). Currently at 71 attempts, and still rising.
-
What about no focus pacifist with ReimuC in SA? :V
-
What about no focus pacifist with ReimuC in SA? :V
This isn't stupid.
This is inhuman.

Clipped Flying Fantastica twice in a row. And it was a no death run of the damn stage.
-
GODDAMNIT I COULD HAVE WON THAT TIME
I reach Yuyuko with 2 lives and 3 bombs... clear the first non-card and card without bombing. I then die with all three bombs in stock on her second non-card. A d few bombs and a death later, I die with two bombs in stock on her fourth card. Damn it.
-
What about no focus pacifist with ReimuC in SA? :V
Drake could do it with his newfound ability to pass through bullets unharmed. :V

Nah, that only works with dot bullets, that are always too few.
BUT he could perfectly GODrake his way out.
I'm not saying that he should.
Until he reads this post or something.
Welp.
-
Oh yes. From my insane night of SKILL and PERSEVERENCE and LOLIS, I forgot to mention something that seriously irks me: UFO stage 4 has bullets that come in from off screen. During the streaming part (which I don't have down BTW), I noticed that bullets weren't even coming from the enemies so much as they were coming from off screen. Then before I knew it, BAM, one popped poor Reimu in the armpits. At least it's more predictable than Genetic's "lol random" off screen walls, but still...that's a dick move.
-
First time trying PCB Hard
DAMN YOU YOUMU
I got to yuyuko with no lives left.
-
Half rage, half accomplishment really, but I decided to put it here.
Attempted to 1cc MoF Easy. I did pretty well actually, actually managing to get through stage 4 without deaths (if I'm remembering correctly) and capturing everything Aya had (I know I'm remembering this correctly) Have a little trouble with stage 5, not too bad. Then I finally reach Kanako. WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?! She's a complete nightmare! So anyway, after a ton of bombspam, I manage to get almost halfway through her final spell before being finished off.
I'd upload the replay, but I think Aya rewrote it <.< >.> I watched the stage 4 replay, and it showed me as only having two lives when I reached Aya (instead of five) and losing both of them to her first spellcard -_-;
-
GAH GODDAMNIT YUYUKO
Just failed my 1cc attempt with Reimu A at 9 seconds left on Resurrection Butterfly. <_<
-
Failed MoF Hard 1cc at 1/5 of VoWG left :V
I'm still kind of impressed with myself, since I've never had more than 4 lives at once, entered stage 5 with only 1 life, same with stage 6.
-
I just 1cc'd EoSD Easy. Why is this rage? Well, because also I did it a long time ago, back when I completely failed at every other Touhou game out there... And did better then. So apparently, as my skill in other Touhou games increases, so does my fail in EoSD... Gaah...
-
Another failure at the last spellcard in IN's extra >.< Damned thing is impossible! guided strings, spread of pellets, aimed lines of triangle thingies, and on top of that the movement area gets smaller over time!!
I wanna clear it so badly ._.
(on the other hand I did capture a few hard ones! \o/)
-
What... The... Hell...? Oh dear god... So, I decided to try SA Normal... Already panicking on stage 2, I have no freaking idea how I got to stage 5... I still feel like I'm about to have a heart attack at any moment...
-
So, I'm trying to play UFO Normal...
...I just got finished off by Nazrin's stage 5 card with less than a second left on the timer, and only the FREAKING TINIEST AMOUNT POSSIBLE left on the health bar. Oh, I also had gone into the Murasa fight with seven lives, came out with TWO. Oh, and two of those deaths were to HER FREAKING FIRST CARD!!! Oh, and I probably wouldn't have survived Murasa at all if I hadn't used TWO bombs on that nightmare second card...
-
Started the attempt for 1cc UFO Lunatic.
Clipdeaths, missing UFO chains, death by Bullet Clear Delay and/or UFO detonation delay, etc.
Most of my runs are entering S4 wth 0-3 spare lives because of this.
-
Tried PCB Hard with ReimuB(5 lives instead of 3 though, only my second try)
Got to Yuyuko with 2 lives, lost my last life to Repository of Hirokawa.....
.....and then I capture BOTH of her final spellcards. It's like a kick in the balls :V
Hopefully this won't happen once I get to her with 3 default lives.
-
...Let's just leave it at that if I reach Murasa with less than four lives left, my first reaction is "...I'm dead."
-
Trying to 1CC UFO Normal is pissing me off, so I decided to play some Strikers 1999 today. Hopefully I can clear the damn game this weekend and play my main attraction to the game. <3
-
Damn Youmu and damn Hell God Sword. >_<
-
...I just died FIVE TIMES to Ichirin. And now I'm torn between the desire to go cry in the corner and my desire to bang my head through it~
-
Damn Youmu and damn Hell God Sword. >_<
You know what's worse? Ichirin's first Boss Spell Card.
Screwing up the basics since 2008 (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=163.msg75330#new).

Very impressive replay, and I agree, nuking Shou is the answer to damn near everything. :D
-
Alright, Mystia is officially harder than Keine. My no-bomb
trainwrecksruns have confirmed it.:P Actually, no-bombing IN looks like it's far far out of my league at this point, but I'll probably keep working on it a little bit just to put off UFO lunatic some more.
And I also tried IN lunatic no-focus just for shits and giggles once or twice... and once or twice was all I needed to know that I'm never trying it ever again.
-
I am an idiot.
Imperishable Night.
Kaguya, Normal difficulty.
First attempt at Normal difficulty, no continues with Youmu solo.
Get to her final Last Word.
Timer slowly counts down as I weave through the bullets.
Time reaches 1, just about to switch to ze*window pops up* "'sup" *dies*

spidfghdsjfhsdjhGAAAAH!
Moral of story...I am an idiot for keeping the messenger open.

Attention: Everyone who ever said that PCB Normal wasn't much tougher than PCB Easy.
There are two young ladies going by the names of "Merlin" and "Alice" that wish to speak with you.
That is all.
-
Alright, Mystia is officially harder than Keine.
No way! I thought Keine was way harder than Mystia. Mystia just has that "Oooh, you can't see far away" gimmick, while Keine has lasers and other crazy stuff flying around.
-
So anyway, decided to try playing PCB Normal as Reimu A... BIG MISTAKE! Wow, Sakuya A's power wasn't anything special, but at least it didn't FREAKING SUCK BEYOND BELIEF!!! Spellcards kept going for TERRIFYING amounts of time and I only managed to reach Youmu by bombspamming everything from somewhere in stage 4 onward ._. I'm never playing PCB Reimu A again...
-

Hehe, yeah, I never realised how terribly weak she was until recently. When I tried my no-focus Phantasm run BoLaD went on for so long that I actually got to the timeout phase even thought I was shooting Yukari the whole damn time. <_<
Cirno riding a Kut-ku.
This is awesome.

WHAT THE HELL PRISMRIVERS I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT BOSENDORFER SPIRIT PERFORMANCE I WANT TO FIGHT PSEUDO STRADIVARIUS RAAARGH
/angry German kid

Stradivarius made me waste 3 bombs last time :V
-
first 1cc of UFO Normal with Reimu A!
now why is this in the rage thread, you ask?
I DIDN'T SAVE THE REPLAY ;_;!
-
So, I have been trying to beat EoSD Normal for a while. I only really play it on weekends while my wife is either out or sleeping, so I can't say I practice much.
Today I decided to give ReimuB a go, and to my surprise it was an awesome run! No deaths up to Patchouli.
AND HER SPELLS ARE ALL DIFFERENT THAN FROM REIMU A?
4 deaths at Patchouli and I still managed to reach Curse of Vlad Tepes o_o
I'm too tired to try again now.
-

Congrats aaaand that sucks. D; Happened to me the first time I beat MoF Extra.
Stradivarius made me waste 3 bombs last time :V
Yeah, it's a tough card, which is why I'm after it... it's the only Prismriver card I haven't capped yet. :V Now if only I could actually get to fight the damn thing. <_< I can't find a consistent way of actually reaching it. I got to it a few times by dying on Live Poltergeist with Marisa, but that's given me Bosendorfer before too. Pretty clueless about how it decides which Prismriver you get but it seems to like making me fight Bosendorfer Spirit Performance, bah.
HER SPELLS ARE ALL DIFFERENT THAN FROM REIMU A?
Patchy has a completely different set of spell cards depending on which shot type you're using and which difficulty you're playing at. Thankfully, it's a lot less random than what the Prismrivers give you... <_<
-
Fun fact: You control which spell card you face in the Prismrivers fight by how much damage you do to the Prismrivers on their first spell card. The one you deal the most damage to will be the one you face (the one attributed to your character being in the center to make you fight her by default).
And yeah, Patchy's fight can dramatically increase in difficulty depending on the shot type. On lunatic I'd say Marisa A Patchy is harder than Remilia when she's on max rank.

Ahhh. That makes sense.

Yep for every character, Patchouli has some different spell cards. Just go useMarisa A on hard mode or lunatic. T_T

Just died on Red Magic with 3 bombs in stock. She only had half life left.

Died on Nue's survival........on 3 seconds left, almost captured it.
I won't be able to play tic tac toe without having nightmares now.

Still cleared it though, ReimuA this time.
-
Kanako is evil. MoF is evil. Kanako's final spell is pure evil beyond anything, and I am surprised that our universe still exists after it was displayed on a computer screen. That is all.
-
GODDAMNIT YUYUKO WHY IS IT ALWAYS ONE WAVE? I mean I'd understand if I absolutely sucked at the card and couldn't do any of it but I always manage every bit of Resurrection Butterfly 80% except for one wave. This has happened now five times in a row.
Also,
Kanako is evil. MoF is evil. Kanako's final spell is pure evil beyond anything, and I am surprised that our universe still exists after it was displayed on a computer screen. That is all.
Reading this gave me the strangest sense of deja vu. I'm sure I've seen someone say the EXACT same thing before... hm. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised... that card has a reputation for a reason, after all. :V
-
I have been complaining about VoWG for 2 weeks now. Still haven't beaten the game because of that card =/
-
I think the last phase of Legendary Flying Object is harder than anything VoWG throws at you. :\ Since the card is actually predictable in the same vein as VoWG, it's probably a matter of realizing what to do, but for now it's just a clusterfuck.
-
Alternating between failing horribly at Resurrection Butterfly 80% and VoWG Lunatic is weirdly cathartic. :V
-
300+ (and counting) UFO Lunatic attempts. Only 3 of those made it to S5, and of the 3, only 1 of those made it to S6.
It'd be nice if I didn't keep messing up S1 and 2.
EDIT: Dying during bullet clear is stupid. Why is the delay so much longer?
-
Yikes. ._. Well, don't give up. I'm counting on you to give me reason to believe UFO lunatic is possible.
-
Yikes. ._. Well, don't give up. I'm counting on you to give me reason to believe UFO lunatic is possible.
Ohh, I would've been able to do it on the other run if I had decided to bombspam instead of trying to capture the claustrophobic Spell Cards.
Nazrin's boss opener. I clip on that more than I do for Kogasa (everything combined), and that's saying something.
-
I'm having trouble deciding if it's more annoying to fail one wave and clear everything else or to die FIVE WAVES IN A ROW. <_<
-
I wish I'd stop capturing QED after I've had a shitty run. I know I should probably ESC, DOWN Z, UP Z, Z, Z, Z, Z, Z right after dying, but I figured some extra practice and seeing where I may be able to push some extra graze points would be useful. I'm taking a short break after every run just so I can collect myself again.
Also the stream of shitty starts. Restarting constantly before I even hit FURANDORU. Though I'm already used to it thanks to IN and MoF's extra. I can pretty much deathESC.
Currently listening to BT - This Binary Universe instead of the game's soundtrack. I've actually been doing this for any stage I've been constantly playing on for a while now. Listening to some Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne OSTs while playing proved to make the stage much more fun.
Actually, I wouldn't say I'm annoyed or particularly angry. Even to the point of very nearly getting that perfect clear, I'm still going forward and enjoying every second of it. 240 million points is my highest scoring entry so far, which is already a very competent score and actually pretty high considering I'm focussing on survival and spellcard capture.
NEVER GIVE UP
-
And then will there be none, sight read. 0/3
Everything went perfectly, up to the last second I was so happy, I was about to capture it and then...I got hit by a green, ending my run.
And then I yelled DANG IT in real life.
-
Yeah, um...
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/th00011.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=268&u=12803292)
This is why the capture rate for this Spell Card is not 100%
What makes this even worse is, the rest (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4593) of the replay is really impressive, if it weren't for me screwing up the stage portion that is.
-
Man, I keep doing retarded things in VoWG Lunatic. Like I do some crazy dodge between amulets and then I'm 'hell yeah I might actually do this' and then I try and dodge between amulets UNDER ABOUT THREE OTHER WAVES and then I die and think 'what the HELL possessed me to think that was a good idea' and yeah. ;_;
Damn it Kanako, why must you have so much health?
-

Oh yes. That's VoWG for you.
I should go back and grind it some more. I'm only something like 0/120. That's not nearly enough frustration.
-
So, I actually was insane enough to try SA Normal again. Surprisingly though, this isn't a RAGE so much as a "...How did this happen?" Words cannot express the weirdness of this run, so I'll just link to the replay:

You made it to the final spell card?! Whoa. You realize that this means you've almost become the first western Touhou player to 1cc UFO lunatic, right? Or wait, does Australia count? That's closer to Japan than most of our countries. :V
Also, this describes UFO perfectly:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BossDissonance
It's a Kirby type.
The rage? You have already lost a few hours of your life. :P
-
It is at this point that I would like to say that UFO may just be the worst piece of crap ZUN has ever designed. Seriously. It's stupider than Source of Rains. The ENTIRE GAME feels like Source of Rains. Stupid minuscule dodging at high speed, you can't kill anything, and did I mention the lolwalls? Because they are FREAKIN' EVERYWHERE.
This has been a post-Stage 3 grind rant by theshim. We now resume normal programming.
I'd also like to note that the only spell cards I captured were Ichirin's and Kogasa's midboss cards. And I failed Ichirin's once by not actually being at the bottom of the screen and clipping a bullet, despite pressing...you know...DOWN.
-
/me regains composure

Seeing as Australia is full of (pardon any form of racial comment if there is any implied) "White People" (this is the term that was used by my friend) he considered the country (overall) to be Western. However, immigration is starting to increase the Asian population a rather large amount.
However, seeing as I'm of Asian ethnicity (yes, now you know a bit more about me; hooray?) my friend actually thought it weird that I would consider myself more Western that Eastern. Though, that might be because I was born and raised in Australia.
Boss Dissonanace
:V
Oh come now, UFO isn't bad, save for Syou's 1st Spell Card (lol-claustrophobic reading), 2nd non-spell, Byakuren's 2nd non-spell, S1, 2, and 3. And Nazrin S5. And the pre-boss waves of S5. The exception is Kogasa, but she's way too difficult to take out consistently.
...and a few other things here and there.

Nah, that whole stage belongs firmly under That One Level (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThatOneLevel) territory.

Is the game trying to deny me a 1cc or something? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4602)
EDIT: 3 times denied in 1 day; I think this would be a good time to stop. I'll 1cc by Tuesday.
Clipped with bombs in stock so many times during Byakuren it's almost like as if they don't want me to clear it ;_;
-
...D: GODDAMNIT.
Still, if I can get that far I can definitely do it. NEW TARGET ACQUIRED. :V
-
I hate Hina's Bad Luck Sign "Bad Fortune" card. I always seem to get clipdeaths on it. My capture rating for a stage 2 midboss card should be much better than slightly above 50%, dammit.
-
The stage 2 midboss card on Hard....
I'm like 2/80 on it
-
...Having just gone through MoF Stage 4 Lunatic about ten times, I think I'm starting to understand all the Aya hate. <_< I've been having a lot of experiences along the lines of 'Oh hey, it's that easy Aya doughnut attack next, I'll justWHOA HOLY SHIT'. And of course the less said about Peerless Wind God, the better... I'm starting to think that Stage 4 is actually probably the most difficult stage in the game, even including boss fights. :V

Aya on Easy: Easy.
Aya on any other difficulty: COMPLETELY FREAKING BROKEN!!!!
Well, that's assuming she's not easier on Hard and Lunatic than Normal <.<; Which I seriously doubt would be the case. And yeah, Illusionary Dominance/Peerless Wind God is an infinite nightmare...
-
Goddamnit, I almost had it that time... timed out Peerless Wind God down to two seconds remaining. I dunno if it's just me, but that card seems almost completely luck based. Sometimes there are openings, more likely there's nothing and you just get screwed over randomly. <_< Bah, I give up for now. Time for some IN.
-

You are starting to think this because it is true. Stage 4 makes or breaks a 1cc. It's broken every one of mine.
I really should get back to that. I mean, I got to Kanako's third noncard, why the crap haven't I 1cc'd it yet?
-
Another VoWG game over.
391 million this time.
I lost my 1cc on 5th stage...

Peerless Wind God IS completely luck based. The most even the best players can do is sit in a corner where the bullets density is least and pray they don't get walled.
And the first time I passed stage 4 in MoF was the first time I lunatic 1cc'd. :V
-
UFO HATES ME. UFO HATES ME. NUE HATES ME.
So, I'm trying to 1cc UFO on hard with Reimu-A (Fuck Sanae, I can't get used to playing as her) and I was actually having some sort of actual run going. I get past stage 3 with 5 lives, thinking that this could be my first 1cc.
Stage 4 goes well and Nue comes along. On every other run I had, I managed to get past Nue without dying or bombing, but this time-she killed me! She killed me, and she only gave me a bomb to compensate it.
Stage 5- The usual, I can't do jack-shit against Shou besides her 2nd spellcard.
Stage 6- I enter with 1 life, 1 bomb and enough star pieces so that 1 red UFO would give me a 1-UP. Boss comes-I have 2 lives and 4 bombs in stock. I DIE ON HER OPENER. WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THAT? When I reach her final spellcard, I have 1 bomb, and I die without even using it.
NUE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU AND MY TWITCHY HANDS, I COULD HAVE 1CC'ED THIS GAME.
-
ONE SECOND LEFT ON PEERLESS WIND GOD'S TIMER GODDAMNIT AASFHASDSGKJHKD
Huh. I suck at Nitori's first boss non-card.
GODDAMNIT WHAT THE HELL ADHSKLBNASJDL
Failed my 1cc at Kanako's fourth non-card. <_<
-
WHATTHEFUCKNUE
Failed her survival at 3 seconds, then 2 times at 0....that final tic tac toe move is evil.
-
I almost captured Nightmare of Heiankyou.
Then my mom distracts me at 3 seconds and I panicbomb.
-
Goddamnit, failed the 1cc again. I give up on this for today.

I JUST HAD TO BOMB THE GREEN UFO CARD THREE TIMES
WHAT THE HELL NUE

If you can time your death better, let me know :V
-
GODDAMMIT. I can't even get past stage 4 in IN because Mystia keeps haxxing 2-3 lives out of me every time. I somehow manage to get clipped by her penultimate boss card like every other run. Seriously, why the hell do I find her so damn hard?
-
Ill-Starred Dive is a tricky card, in that it's an early stage card belonging to a not all that notable stage 2 boss, so you brush it off as just making a derp mistake and continuing to underestimate this card. After finally breaking the cycle and throwing it in the spell practice dryer on full cycle (...the hell? >_>), I discovered that if you destroy the familiars on every even wave (since these throw out the red bullets that are difficult to avoid), the card becomes much easier.
As for me, I just played UFO extra for the first time since beating it. I finally captured the Red UFO card (it's honestly not that hard once you know the trick, but it's Fujiyama Volcano level in chain-deathing you if you screw it up even once), made it to her survival card with 2 lives...then lost them both. I swear, first Philosophy's third phase (I've captured that one once ever, fun fact), now this. Not to mention Nue has the gall to not give you ANY power items, forcing you to face her final card handicapped. Thankfully, since it IS a piece of crap, no lives and one bomb at one power was indeed enough to subdue her. Still, this run turned out terribly...
-
...Reached Orin with four lives. It would have been five if I hadn't died a stupid death immediately before her. Anyway... She kills me twice with her first spellcard, and things don't get much better from there.
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4615
-
IMO Orin is one of those bosses who is really really hard until you practice her enough, then she magically becomes somewhat easy. I used to lose all of my lives on her in practice mode but after fighting her enough I've beaten her no deaths. :\
I don't know if this applies for difficulties other than normal though.
-
Got to Nue 4/0. Which is...weird. Really weird. I usually get to her 3/4, for some reason.
First clipdeath on the SECOND NONCARD.
Needless to say, it went downhill from there, and while I finally managed to capture Danmaku Chimera, I got to her final card with 2 power and no lives or bombs. Lasted about 10 seconds.
-
So, I do incredibly awesome on the first four stages, and reach stage 5 with six lives. Then I get ripped apart. Manage to reach Yuyuko's first nonspell somehow, but I get killed instantly.
Basically, watch stages 5 & 6 of this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4616) and be amazed at how quickly an awesome run can get turned into complete infinite fail so quickly... I honestly have no idea how it happened...
-
Nue's noncards are evil.....don't be afraid to bomb them, especially the 3rd one.
Though they are much more fun than the loldensestreaming which the early extra bosses have.
-
Died three times - THREE TIMES - on Green UFO.
Nuff said.
-
Ok... as of this evening, my history shows 1/47 on Byakuren's first card on lunatic... and I still haven't managed to unlock the stage for practice, which is why I was trying so hard in the first place.
At least I didn't need 2 hours to get to stage 6, unlike the previous attempt... <.<
I'm beginning to develop a heavy dislike for Super Hijiri. The pattern is nothing really exciting, the card has much health and Byakuren moves all over the place, making it last awfully long. The bad part, however, is how the pattern consist of these glowing/translucent bullets that are hard to tell from one another when they overlap and then the boss moves so far down the screen that her white charge effect obscures them just as good as Nue's 7th card.
Oh well...

One more game over at VoWG..
457kk this time...
that makes 22 i think, game overs at VoWG =)

...Practice run of stage 6. Didn't die at all before I reached Yuyuko... Died EIGHT TIMES against her.

Holy crap, you went into Stage 6 with SIX SPARE LIVES?! @_@
Man, your ONLY problem is VoWG. You have everything else down brilliantly. I really, really strongly suggest you just go into Stage practice and practice Stage 6 repeatedly. When you get to VoWG, don't shoot and don't bomb. Just dodge only. You'll be dying very often until you get the hang of it but that really is the best way to learn how to dodge the waves of VoWG. Many times you bombed when you weren't even in any danger! I think you've fallen into the whole 'AHH IT'S VOWG SHIT CHRIST GODDAMN BOMB BOMB BOMB' way of thinking; judging from how you performed during the rest of the run and some of the dodges you managed when you ran out of bombs, you can easily clear VoWG, hell you could probably capture it at your current skill level, except you sort of... panic, I guess. I'm confident lack of practice/confidence at VoWG is literally the only thing stopping you from your 1cc. It has patterns, even if you don't notice it at first - get the hang of them and you'll be clearing it with much less difficulty. :)
And on a more rage-ish note... still haven't captured Peerless Wind God. <_<
-
SIX LIVES!!???
Only time I got there I entered with 1, got a second one from score and got 4/5 through VoWG before dying.
-
I hate stage 4 MoF. I seriously think that if not for the abundance of bombs, the stage and boss would be impossible. I don't think I have ever gotten past the midboss without bombing. Also, I'm not sure if it's just my reflexes, but the deathbomb timer seems to be shorter in MoF than in any of the other games. Third: am I the only one who, while playing MoF, will try to graze during a boss's cards or non-cards at the expense of doing damage while forgetting that MoF doesn't care about grazes?
-
Sapz...screw you.
You got me trying MoF Lunatic again.
I hate you now.
Besides the usual abundance of LOLWTF deaths on the first stage (MoF Stage 1 is an absolutely terrible stage, by the way), the first decent run clipped Lady Ohgane's Fire twice, the second got killed twice by the fairies at the beginning of stage 3, and the third clipped Nitori's second noncard...twice. That's the one I'm usually pretty good at, for the record.
Then I got to stage 4 and suddenly was completely unable to bomb. Game over'ed just before Aya.
By the way, since I used to be able to do it and now just autobomb it, HOW THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU DO BROKEN CHARM OF PROTECTION? I kinda need the bombs...

I agree, Stage 1 is terrible, and Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart is the worst spell card I have ever seen. And Broken Charm of Protection is annoying in the same way that most of the MoF cards are annoying... it's somewhat random which bullets fly where and when so it's sometimes really easy and sometimes it'll just screw you over. I don't think it will ever throw something really undodgeable at you like Peerless Bullshit God or anything but I think bombing it is the way to go on a 1cc run, unless you see a clear opening (assuming you use Reimu B you can kill it before the end of the second wave IIRC so you only really need to worry about dodging the first lot).
Having said that I have a tendency to paranoid-bomb anything that I think might clip me, but it's a working tactic, so hey. :V If you're set on capping it the best tactic I've found is to just stay slightly to the side of the bullet coming down the centre, and you're likely to find an opening.
Back to Stage 4 Practice... <_<

...RAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stages 4-6 of PCB, I don't think anything else needs to be said...
Well, other than that this last run of PCB, I died FOUR random stupid deaths on stages 1-3... FOUR! GAAHH!!!!

Seriously, practice stage 4 a lot. It's just so damn long, and at first it took me over 10 tries just to reach stage 5. Bullet density is pretty high for the Easy difficulty. When I stopped dying with bombs in stock all the time it went rather well though.
Good luck, you'll need it! 8)

I HATE MoF STAGE 1 =(

I know exactly how you feel, trust me... =/
EDIT: Also, does anybody else ever feel like their bomb button sometimes just gets temporarliy broken for like half a second sometimes? .-. Seriously, sometimes I SEE THE BULLET COMING, hit the key, AND IT DOESN'T BOMB!!!

Get the vsync patch. I had much the same input lag, if not worse. Hard kept BSing me around; with the patch I cleared it easily on my first try.
-
Anyway, since I kept hearing that PCB Normal wasn't much tougher than PCB Easy, I decided to try Easy mode again to see if I was just not doing as great as I had before... The results? 1CC WITH FOUR LIVES LEFT! And I hadn't ended up using nearly as many bombs as I do on Normal... And that's with two stupid random deaths thrown in ._. I have trouble getting past stage 5 on Normal... Seriously, I CANNOT understand why people think there's so little difference between the two difficulties... For me at least, it's enough to turn a lot of really easy cards into absolute nightmares...
For example: Foggy London Dolls (not really a nightmare, but definitely much tougher on Normal, though I still rarely die to it), Hino Phantasm (really pathetic on Easy, absolute panic on Normal), Five Signs of the Devas (that's right, I have a lot of trouble on Normal. No trouble whatsoever on Easy =/) Youmu's nonspells apart from the one with the knives, several of Yuyuko's cards... So yeah, I kinda think that Normal is WAY tougher than Easy >.<
-
OOOOOOOOH. LFO LUNATIC. It had the tiniest sliver of life left. If Byakuren didn't become completely damage immune when you died on that card the death damage would have been enough to kill her.
I also just realized that in the five or so days since unlocking this stage I've fought Byakuren about 47 times. o_O THAT'S the kind of dedication I have to this series. Sadly, all I have to really show for it is that I can capture Superhuman consistently.
Yo Baity, mind explaining that last wave of Magical Butterfly? After the seventh laser shot? Your explanation last time didn't make much sense, and it's just too OMG to be reaction based.
-
Argh, Shoot the Bullet is driving me insane. I have to capture 17 more cards to unlock Extra, and all of the ones that are left drive me crazy with their difficulty. gaaaaaaaaah ヽ（゜Д゜）ノ

Mine's in 3-4 days after unlocking with SanaeB :V
Mind you, I want to specialize in UFO Lunatic as a bragging right more than anything else.

It's either, you play by reaction, and move "in between" butterfly lines, or you move to where I marked the cross (i.e. the temp-safespot). Of course, the SC is mirror imaged so the other side works as well.
See this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1016.msg77236#msg77236) post again for reference in addition to this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4633) replay. You'll see me frantically trying to adjust myself into the temp-safespot.

Just realised something:
Before Green UFO: "Wow, that's easy..."
After Green UFO: "ZUN, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???"
-
S1 UFO Lunatic.
EDIT: Also, a fourth time that I messed up the 1cc, this time by dying to the S6 midboss because I thought I was fine. And bombing the S4 midboss because it walled me.
-
Died to the fairies at the beginning of stage six on Easy. Yes, you have to put in some effort to get hit by those bullets. No other option but to restart and graze out those attacks all over again...we can only come out of this a better person!
-
I praise your hard work! hahahaha
-
So I want to go 1cc EoSD Normal before Hard... I capture pretty much all the Hard spellcards that I can think of... And what do I lose all my lives to? I have no freaking idea. No memorable deaths at all because they were all so stupid. Time to go try again! And again... And again...
-
Goddamned Suwakos following me around everywhere, making my life miserable... *mutter mutter*
Also, I just noticed how MoF seems weirdly short compared to the other Touhou games... my 1cc replay is 22 minutes to PCB's 34 minutes. :V I mean, hell, the no focus Phantasm run I did was only five minutes shorter than that.
-
PCB's bosses take a looooooooooong time to die =/
Today I'm angry at MoF's stage 1.
I tried about 10 times and always died at the first boss spell card
-
Today I'm angry at MoF's stage 1.

That's because Autumn Sun & A Maiden's Heart is clipdeath-tastic.
Don't be afraid to bomb it, it's not like PCB where you HAVE to capture as many spellcards as possible to give you resources later.
-
It sucks to clear a game when you're not even able to capture stage 1 spellcards lol
My record should be about 150/250 for this card =P
-
Just failed both of Suwako's survival cards at two seconds remaining. Goddamnit.
-
4 more VoWG fails today :G
I almost did it with no lives... I got her to like 30% before bombing once... And then I got killed with 3.5 >_>
-
I've been trying to beat UFO stage 6 on Normal for the past hour now, continuing every time I die to try to clear it so I can unlock it in Practice mode-- I keep coming close, but the last few seconds of Flying Fantastica are just unfair. x_x
However, my biggest choking point through the whole battle is the non-spell after Mystic Fragrance of a Makai Butterfly, then Star Maelstrom, then the nonspell after that. In other words, the part after the second spell card all the way to Devil Recitation. Could someone give me some pointers for those three patterns?
-
Huh, that was weird. Just attempted VoWG Hard timeout... I survived for about a minute, then I died six times in the period of about 40 seconds, and then I didn't die at all for the whole rest of the card. :V Bah.
Still no progress with Suwako's survivals.

They exist to make you FEAR CLIPDEATHS
In all seriousness Silent Selene is actually probably the card I fail the most often in EoSD Extra. It is indeed extremely evil... you keep getting the teal bullets that look like they're headed downwards but are actually at some tiny, tiny angle and then they kill you when you think you're safe. =_=
-
Silent Selene has always been one of the easier cards for me to capture. Now Royal Flare, Cranberry Trap, and Maze of Love? Fuck that.

MoF... Why... WHY?! Stage 4 is a nightmare, Stage 5... *shudders* *continues to feel fear just remembering* Stage 6... *has heart attack upon THINKING about it, even though he hasn't gotten very far on the Kanako battle on Normal yet*
I actually managed to capture Illusionary Dominance and Aya's final card... Then I got to stage 5, and got WALLS sent at me by Sanae >.< I think that Sanae manages to be even nastier than Orin and Shou... Seriously, almost everything she has is just walls and walls and walls and... GAAAAH!!!!
No amount of bombspam can help something like this... If there was Master Spark in this game, then MAYBE, but... Gaah...

S3, Ichirin.
No bombs.

Guess what's going to happen?
Either way, wish me luck :V
-
...You've gotta be kidding me. So, I reach stage 5 with two lives, (after beating Murasa with only one death and three bombs, including a capture of that nightmarish second card) and then... I die AT THE EXACT MOMENT A UFO EXPLODES then proceed to BACK INTO ANOTHER BULLET WITH TONS OF ROOM AROUND IT, causing a game over. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: ...I try again. Do absolutely awesome until stage 5, where... I don't do so great, but still reach Shou with five lives (if I'm remembering correctly) I then get utterly destroyed...

Bzarghl! DX I BEAT the red phase of LFO without bombing, but panic bombed on a spot earlier in the attack that I realized too late I got through fine.
Also, Devil's Recitation would be more fun if the bottom didn't equal death QUITE that harshly.
-

You should only be using the bottom to buy yourself some time for extra reading.
I'm thinking of ReimuB for my next 1cc (which won't be going for 1-2 weeks), instead of ReimuA since I don't like full-forward types. The lower damage isn't that bad, and I get no more free-passes, so you might actually see me do something more skillful.
I'm starting to hate the off-screen bullets from S5.

Suwa War, VoWG, etc

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT
Died in Nue's survival card on EXACTLY ZERO.
Nue has two settings:
Easy
Bullshit
with NOTHING inbetween.

Um...what the HELL was that?
Mokou run. Screw up Past and Future, but get to Mokou 5/0.

Reached Kanako with four lives. Got only halfway through her final before she finished me. Why is Kanako so insanely broken? So close...
EDIT: WHY WON'T MOF LET ME DEATHBOMB?! I SEE A BULLET ABOUT TO HIT ME, I HIT THE BOMB KEY, AND IT DOESN'T FREAKING BOMB!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL, WHAT THE HELL, WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?! I'm using the Vsync patch... What the hell...?

Another MoF hard 1cc attempt.
Up to stage 4, no deaths(usually 2 at Nitori)
Entered Aya with 5 lives.
Never captured her first attack....I was like "wow, I finally didn't have to bomb" and just as it ends, I get hit on full power.
Hellish donuts. Clipdeath. On near full power again. 2 bombs on Illusionary Dominance.
Entered stage 6 with 2 lives and got a 3rd one on the way to Kanako.
Death fairy flies off instead of dying and I enter the Kanako fight with 2 power.
First attack - bomb.
First card - bomb.
First death on Unremembered Crop(I hate that goddamn spell)
Second death on Source of Rains(no bombs)
Had to bomb 2 times after that since I didn't bother redirecting and hoped to finish with 1 bomb.
1 life, 3,5 power vs VoWG. Bomb, then at 40% left clipdeath.
All because of that retarded stage 4.
I could do VoWG with 1 bomb only, but when you have to do the entire attack with only 3 power and 1 life when your 1cc depends on it.....
-
Entered stage 6 with 2 lives and got a 3rd one on the way to Kanako.

You should have bombed the death fairy if you were at 2 power. You go down to 1 power, then get 3.25 back for a total of 4.
Obviously you don't want to hear this, but it's important to remember for future.
-
What is going on today?!
I tried some Kanako grinding. Everything - everything - went poorly. At the end, I had 5 or 6 lives in stock after dying VoWG, decided to try timing it out. Died almost immediately after every single death-invincibility wore off. Absolutely everything was horrible. The only even remotely good thing was a capture of Yamato Torus(Kogasa's Extra midboss card makes that one cake).

When it's inside the flower you can't see shit because there are bullets everywhere, but if you wait until they exit the flower shape it's already too late. I guess it's just inside the outer layer of the flower, but it's you still have to manage to read a giant clusterfuck.
Also, how do you manage to not clipdeath constantly if you have to look that high to read the pattern?
-
I wasted 2 hours attempting 1-6 in Shoot the Bullet. I see what I need to do on it but Somehow I manage to fail right when I only need 1 more picture.

In my experience it's best to read them about 1/3-1/2 of the way from the shape on their journey towards you so you actually have a good idea of where you should go or where to try and micrododge or whatever. You have to read really fast. =x

GODDAMNIT DIED ON HER FINAL CARD AT 1/4 HEALTH BY RUNNING INTO A BULLET IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AHRGRHHHGHRG;LDFGKJ
-
EDIT: HOLY CHRIST LUNATIC BoWaP
That's about right. Once - ONCE - I got to it with 1 power, bombed almost immediately, and executed the rest flawlessly. It was probably my best Touhou playing ever. I wish I could replicate that...
-
FINALLY got past Orin... and so the continuespam quest, err, continues. I'll prepare to get nuked, I guess. Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction and Peta Flare look kind of evil.
EDIT: Huh, capped Blazing Wheel first attempt but got killed by the crows and Utusho's 2nd non-card. Not too bad considering that was with what I had left from Stage 5.
EDIT: DEATH BY EASY THIRD NON-CARD ;_;
EDIT: Death by not knowing safespot location on Lunatic version of third card.

UFO stage 6 with Reimu B.
... and I thought Byakuren was hard enough with SanaeB. ReimuB isn't exactly great for getting UFOs on that stage, either.
-
Alright.
What.
The.
HELL?
Tried LLS Extra. Several rounds of the usual BS. Get to Mugetu 3/2. Gengetu...1/1. Don't last past the first wave of her second phase.
Try again. Many times. Many deaths were had at Nue's hand. (Clearly that is Nue. Clearly. That was the first thing I said when playing UFO Stage 4 for the first time: "What the hell is the LLS midboss thing doing here?!" Clearly it is Nue.)
Eventually I get to Gengetu 2/2. Playing like crap, I nevertheless bomb my way to her third phase. And Baity, Donut - you know the second half or her third phase, that spread of little white bullets where you just have to sit in a gap and they all go by?
I got killed halfway into one of those.
I am playing beyond utter crap tonight. I am - quite literally, I should be recording this - choking with rage. GOOD FREAKIN' NIGHT.

At least you can GET to Gengetu. I usually make it to Mugetu at 1/0-ish because of that bitch of a pattern before she shows up. It makes me so mad.
-
Urgh! Fantasy Heaven is horrible! I just spent 90 attempts on it and i haven't been able to get it further than 10 seconds. I know people usually do around 2-300 attempts before finally figuring it out but i simply don't have the patience for that. Its incredibly boring and it doesn't really have much to do with skill.
So i decided to pass it. Instead i capped Guignol which was awesome. That took 3 tries!

Fantasy Heaven is really easy until the last 7 seconds or so. It's actually pretty static for such a dynamic card. It'll be pretty much the same as long as you perform the same movements each time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXC1fgIqIyU&fmt=22#t=4m54s)

GODDAMN FUCKING MOUNTAIN OF FAITH
95% of the attacks in stage 1-3 are made in such a way that you can clipdeath EVERYTHING
YES EVERYTHING
Hina has maybe one card which isn't made of 100% clipdeath. The rest gives you 5 pixel spaces to dodge.
Stage 3 - 2nd and 3rd Nitori's nonspells. Extending Arm(eye raping uber thin flashing lasers going across the entire screen which is already covered in lasers)
STAGE 4
GODDAMN FUCKING STAGE 4
GO DIE
I can never reach Aya with more than 1 life now.
Reached Kanako 2 times and got to VoWG both times, but always with only 3 power and 1 life.
If I only wouldn't fuck up on Aya 2 times last time(both times on the retarded donuts)....
-
wanna trade with me?
i can reach aya with 6/7 lives, stage 6 with 4/5 lives and VoWG with 3 lives and still not beat it.
i have memorized the whole game, but gave up on it because of one fucking spell card.
I do understand your hatred for Hina. although i think it's easy, her first and last spell card are horrible. her mid-boss spell card... it's the one i've captured least in the whole game (not counting Kanako's).
First stage spellcards are AWFUL and Nitori is a bitch.
God damn I hate this game.
-
AYA RAGE
VOWG RAGE
Both are extremely evil and the only solution I know of is STAGE PRACTICE. :V
If Bananamatic gets a one/zero death Stage 4 run and Imagus gets a VoWG capture/no deaths, the next attempt of MoF Hard either of you guys do will be so much easier because your main problems will be gone(ish).
-
If I manage to not die until Stage 4 and not completely mess up after, I should be able to do it.....
Maybe I should stop doing stage 6 practice all the time >.>
I know that I can capture VoWG though.....
EDIT: HELL YEAH, PANIC BOMBED IN A PRACTICE RUN AND SCREWED MYSELF OUT OF THE CAPTURE
EDIT2: VoWG JUST PULLED A NUE ON ME
-
VoWG JUST PULLED A NUE ON ME
Do you mean dying right as it ends? That tends to happen with me and Kanako's first nonspell. There just happen to be bullets still onscreen from the nonspell as her first spell begins, and it drives me crazy...
EDIT: And now for some more rage of my own. So, I decided to try playing SA... Didn't do that well >.< Died to Parsee's second and third cards, AND died TWICE to Yuugi's Hell's Wheel of Pain. You know, some of the easiest cards in the game? (though Parsee's second isn't THAT easy...) Don't remember where else I died, but... GAH!

I raged.
And Parsee isn't too easy either....I can't capture the cards where you have to circle around her on Normal and the flowers she spawns have hueg hitboxes.
-
Shou's first and third spellcards continue to kill me repeatedly. In particular, her third spellcard (the one with the giant green spinning lasers) is terrible, and is the only UFO spellcard in stages 1-5 normal that I haven't captured at least once. I just can't seen to get below Shou for long enough to do enough damage to her.

My response to Shou's third card: SPARK! FREAKING MASTER SPARK! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!!!! If you don't play Marisa A, you can replace Master Spark with whatever bomb you do use, but you get the idea <.<;
EDIT: Also, I have determined that... SA IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!!!
-
EDIT: Also, I have determined that... SA IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!!!
SA is the game that I'm worst at. It's the only Touhou game where I don't have at least stage 5 unlocked for practice on normal difficulty. Satori and Yuugi massacre me, especially Yuugi's Knock Out in Three Steps (half the time the blue bullets seem undodgeable) and Satori's Princess Undine and Philosopher's Stone (I haven't captured Philosopher's Stone once)
-
Only today I figured out Icicle Fall is pretty damn easy. I always thought it ridiculously hard, but it's so fuckin' easy.
Damn, you people are so ahead of me.
-
At least you can GET to Gengetu. I usually make it to Mugetu at 1/0-ish because of that bitch of a pattern before she shows up. It makes me so mad.
Can't really tell theshim any more than to just tap once in either direction to fit into the gap (and that I've had similar things happen before in similar patterns), but I can tell you the secret to this. The trick to the preboss spam is to start in the middle center (line yourself up with the background), and stream up. This will dodge the first part. The next part is straight up dodging, but remember that no matter how close the bullets are to you, they are aimed at your position and can be dodged.
-
...Huh. After fooling myself into thinking that I might be able to capture Genetics, I tried SA Extra. I didn't die at all until Rorschach. I then managed to die THREE TIMES to Genetics, die on the first phase of Philosophy (and then survive the rest without bombing <_<), and game over on the second phase of Subterranean Rose. Goddamnit.
-
...Why does Remilia ALWAYS get me with that first nonspell? I keep getting to her on my last life, and every time, THAT STUPID THING GETS ME!
-
Die on the first part of Philosophy?
I didn't know that was even possible :V
-
At least you can get to Remilia. I always lose a ton of lives on Stage 3 for whatever reason, and then I screw up on Stage 4 somehow... Then Patchouli kills me with either her first or second spell card. I need to get better at dodging random patterns.
-
Well, I've just been given more reason than ever to just never touch Shuusou Gyoku again. I was thinking about recording my extra run for the hell of it, but it seems that the music is all screwed up on this computer. I'm given to understand that what the music sounds like is dependent on what sound systems you have available, and apparently this new l33t hi tech computer doesn't have any the game likes. Call me a snob, but I just refuse to play the game without the music working right.
-
I was about to try LLS again when it stopped working for me.
WHAT
-
Goddamnit. I think maybe I just don't have the necessary focus to time out VoWG Hard... I consistently get to around 60-80 seconds remaining without dying and then end up dying 2-5 times during the rest of the card. This has happened about 20 times now.
Meh, I'll keep going until I manage it.
EDIT: It's annoying when you see a wave that you think will kill you which doesn't kill you and the fact that you're not dead surprises you so much that you get killed by the next, easy-to-dodge wave. <_<
-
ReimuB trivializes Syou's spinning lasers.
Oh I love ReimuB now. If only it could take out Kogasa's First Boss SC without cheapspotting it out... So far, it's been proven to be quite impossible.

I very rarely die on that part. Except, of course, last night. When I died on EVERYTHING.
The annoying bit about LLS Extra is that up to and including Gengetu's third phase (the farthest I've gotten to date) I know how to do everything, I just die a lot doing it.
-
Managed to time out VoWG Hard to 39 seconds. I then died twice, so I still haven't even managed a one death run yet, let alone the full time out.
-
Maze of Love... It should be titled Maze of Hate. Because that's what it's making me feel ._. So far, I've figured out that the best strategy is to fit through the tiny spaces between bullets as they get further out, but... Gah...
-
ASDFASDFASDF CLIPDEATH HELL GODDAMNIT GENGETU
And despite your "just move a little" advice, donut, I still die more often that not on the fourth phase. Attempting to move a little right or left often ends up in death. Not always, but very often.
-
I don't know why, but as I'm playing LLS, I keep trying to bomb to keep myself from dying... BUT I KEEP BOMBING AS I COME BACK TO LIFE!!!! Stupid revival bombs...
-
Byakuren's final spellcard is a nightmare with MarisaA: You pretty much have a large blindspot right in front of you when focused. I think ZUN made too many visibility errors in UFO.
-
I don't know why, but in LLS, I tend to panic way too easily at times... I saw three pellet bullets coming at me, spread out, and yet I barely noticed that there were gaps at all, went "AAH, WALL!" and panic bombed... I have no idea how that happened, but it did <.<; I'm also HORRIBLE at judging the hitbox on it, and panic if anything touches my sprite >.< Then the fact that every time I try to deathbomb, I not only fail but do a revival bomb doesn't help things either...
That's not good for Extra. At all.
-
You know, it's sad. I like Syou. She emits an aura of coolness to me (must be teh awesome pants that set her apart from most skirt Touhous), has probably the best ZUNart ever, and has really cool synch between her theme and her fight (I really love this kind of synch and it's part of what makes me so drawn to the games), but her fight...is not that fun. Two of her spell cards use what the stage and admittingly much of the game uses: Those animated bullets with unforgiving hitboxes. I hate them. They're the cancer that's killing the game's enjoyment. With their bright outlines it's difficult to tell where their hitbox is and even so said hitbox is large for the bullet. And of course the game uses them constantly in just the kind of situations that make them as hard as possible. WHY?!
-
Okay, I seriously just died 5 times against Reimu in IN Stage 4 Easy; the girl attacks as if she's on steroid... I can pretty much always deathbomb Marisa, but Reimu... she just have this strange way of making my mind completely blank when I touch her bullets...
OH WAIT

Oh Jesus, these bullets. They are a large part of the visibility fuckup I mentioned a few posts up. I can deal with the fact that they're animated (I play a lot of other shmups so I'm used to different bullet styles), but for me, these suck because when they overlap, they lose their outlines and form indiscernible bullet clusters. This makes it difficult to estimate the number of bullets around you and track their direction of travel. Some spellcards used by Shou and Murasa add to the difficulty by not giving you enough time and space to sort that shit out.
I think one of Mokou's spellcards used similar bullets, but I don't remember them being this annoying to dodge.

I really have to agree. I can almost never capture her first spellcard because of that, and I can only capture her fourth card by exploiting the fact that you can stay at the very bottom during even-numbered waves and avoid most of the bullets. Nazrin's midboss card is horrible for the same reason.
-
I just did what was by FAR my best run of SA Extra ever. Only two deaths, all cards captured except Ancestors (<_______<), Superego and Genetics.
And then predictably enough I forget to save the replay. Goddamnit.
-
I forgot how difficult IN Lunatic was :V
I also forgot that using Reimu solo in Lunatic takes a whole different approach to all stages. Damn you Marisa and Reisen, why the hell you have to be Stage 4 and 5 bosses =.=
-
Well, I've gotten a lot better at dealing with Reisen... But I just can't deal with her Idling Wave spellcard, and I simply despise those familiars she puts out during Invisible Full Moon -_-
-
I kind of died to Mystia and Wriggle due to lack of practise simply. I never attempted to tackle Lunatic actually for a long time. but this time I am going to do crazy and try to 1cc it with Reimu Solo.
-
I swear, BoWaP is a cheating bitch of a spell card. I never see the bullet that hits me. I was THIS close to finally beating this hellish stage without dying, when this spell card just randomly killed me twice in a row. Neither time did I see a bullet closer than a centimeter to my hitbox (to be fair, I read above Reimu, but I still should have at least SEEN a bullet). I've tried to like this spell card, I REALLY have. It's a cool concept, looks cool, and is satisfying when you capture it, but IT KEEPS KILLING ME.
-
Playing IN Normal as Magic Team has made me realize something... I HATE REIMU! Fighting her is an absolute nightmare... T_T
-
Playing IN Normal as Magic Team has made me realize something... I HATE REIMU! Fighting her is an absolute nightmare... T_T
I'd take anything over fighting Marisa.
Maybe I have to fight Reimu on atleast Hard once.
-
Playing as MarisA in UFO is hard.
Why? HER FREAKING LASER ROOTS GLOW AT THE EXACT SAME INTENSITY AS ANY GLOWING BULLET.
I can't believe how many times I didn't see those coming.
-
Shou's third card on Hard mode. What the hell. D: Only cards I have yet to cap for Hard mode are that and LFO, but damn they're pretty tough.
-
Well I've been trying to 1cc SA on normal for a long time now but either hell and heaven meltdown or hell's artificial sun always get me.
But the thing that actually makes me rage is the stage 1 song. I'm so goddamn sick of having to listen to that.
-
You know, it's odd. I think Hell's Tokamak is easier than Hell and Heaven Meltdown. Sure the waves give you a lot less time to react, but it's one of the most vulnerable spell cards to bombing in the game, because for seemingly no other reason than to look cool (going along with my theory that the ease of Utusho's fight is actually intentional by ZUN to show how small minded she is), the bullets spin around inside the sun bullets for about five seconds before actually coming out at you, meaning a bomb can cripple it.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
MoF Hard.
Up to stage 4, no deaths.
Stage 4, 2 deaths.
Stage 5, dunno, but was at 3 lives at Kanako again.
AND I MISSED THE FUCKING DEATH FAIRY AGAIN
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
VoWG.....1 life, 3,5 power again.
First a panic bomb, then clipped something 3/5 in.
GODFUCKINGDAMNIT I CAPTURED THAT PIECE OF SHIT ALREADY JUST LET ME 1CC IT
Died with bombs left only once, and it was at 1,7 power at Kanako. And I STILL can't do it.
And is it just me, or is Source of Rains Lunatic easier than Hard?
-
And is it just me, or is Source of Rains Lunatic easier than Hard?
I, ah, think it's just you. :V I can beat Hard pretty consistently... I've only beaten Lunatic once, I think.
Also,
ease of Utusho's fight
Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction, Peta Flare
@_@
And in an actual run I'd agree Tokamak is easier, but if you're trying to capture it I think Tokamak is much more difficult. The weird angles throw me off.
-
I. Despise. Reimu. I actually don't really have much other trouble when I play as Magic Team, but... GAAAH!!!! Her Fantasy Seal~ Concentrate attack is... Nightmarish. It's like Yuyuko's Repository of Hirokawa!
-

Since I'm bored (and sorry for being off topic but I haven't actually played today and last night was full of enough rage for two days), here's my thoughts on the fight in full:
ZUN states that even if you have an overwhelming power, one without the knowledge to use it is wasted. Given Utsuho's over-the-top appearance (I HAVE A CAPE OVER MY WINGS BITCH), it's obvious she's into the coolness of her power a bit too much. After an opener that is really easy and just looks cool, we see Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction. While it's very awesome looking, it's also difficult, presumably because Utsuho spent like days coming up with it. After that, another difficult attack, this time a non-spell. Thick, dangerous, fitting of a final boss. And then Peta Flare, an alteration of the sun bullet gimmick, but still quite a large threat. Utsuho is pretty proud of herself.
But then after that, still on a high for creating a very difficult first 40% of the fight, Utsuho suddenly realizes that she's running dry on ideas. She does an alteration of her opening attack for her third non-spell, but doesn't put enough effort into testing it to realize there's a very easily exploitable safespot directly under her. In a similar fashion, Ten Evil Stars is based off the whole sun gimmick (note how she can't escape from this idea), this time with spinning. She thinks it's difficult, and indeed it is, but failed to realize the fundamental flaw that there is a small but easily reached space where her suns cannot touch her opponent, rendering the card a waste. Onto her fourth non-spell, she decides to do ANOTHER repeat attack, this time less thick. It still manages to be difficult in a certain way (god damn yellow bubble bullets obscuring my view of the incoming bullets), but it's still not that difficult.
Up to Hell's Tokamak, she makes a decent attack for the first time in a while. It requires precision and has a long health bar. However, since it's hard/lunatic, she decides to make it look cooler by making the bullets spin in the suns. Other than aesthetically, this does not help her and actually makes it easier by giving the opponent more time to drain her life before having to dodge anything.
And we all know how Subterranean Sun turned out: Thinking that a final spell card should be something different, she decides to BECOME the Sun, pulling her enemies in. It's really awesome as usual but...in her haste to send her ideas to ZUN, she failed to note that she forgot to add fitting difficulty. And so in the end, the latter 60% of her fight is more or less easy due to Utsuho's narrow mindness of her attack potential and failure to notice the little flaws of her attacks.
I read too much into this. :V
-
I haven't captured first 2 Utsuho's cards, period.
I have like 0/26 on both of them on Normal....
And I completely fail at WIZARD FOX THOUGHTS. YOU HEARD ME.
I know it's streaming, but it's so awfully claustrophobic that I always panic bomb or get hit somehow.
-
I just got to Eirin in IN for the first time and I died on her last card with no bombs remaining. The reason this goes in the rage thread is because I was stupid and had to use deathbombs on Apollo 13 twice. Since I died when Astronomical Entombing had ~10% of it's life left, I would have 1CCed the game if I hadn't used run into bullets twice in Apollo 13.
-
I had some time to waste at school so I played some Touhou. With my laptop on my knees. Which is fucking hard to read anything because you see everything at some kind of weird angle (and it hurts your neck to look at the bottom of the screen).
Started with SA Extra. Died a few times at the beginning and restarted. Eventually I get to Sanae without dying. Capture her first spell, then clip "Miracle Fruit" so late the game still counted it as a capture. Baww. Then I died to her rain spellcard and closed the game.
Practiced PCB Stage 3 on because it's awesome. Picked Hard, bombed twice. Nice enough.
Then I played EoSD Extra. Picked Marisa A because I've already done Reimu A and I'm too lazy to unlock anybody else. After a few stupid deaths and restarts, I got to Patchouli. I'm happy nobody was around when I was at Silent Selene. I'm about to capture it, then I get surprised and react something like "Gaaaah! WTF!" (I didn't really say anything though). The "spell captured" sound surprises me so much I almost drop my laptop. I need to calm down... Anyway, I bombed Royal Flare and Philosopher's Stone, bombed the stage once, capture Cranberry Trap...
Then I die to Lavatein. I didn't position myself correctly and rammed into a line of bullets, where you mostly only have to go left or right. Bombed Four of a Kind, died to Kagome Kagome (ugh), died to Maze of Love with bombs in stock (now I know Marisa focused is too slow unless I move constantly) bombed Starbow Break, bombed Catadioptric, capped Counter Clock.
I reach ATWTBN at 1/1, clear the first phase, bombed somewhere randomly, and died to one of the red waves, the only hard part of the spellcard out of the last 5 seconds. Reached QED at 0/3 and notice I can't even read the first wave properly at the angle I'm looking at the screen. Make some lucky dodges, but eventually die after running out of bombs.
tl;dr : I played Touhou at school and failed to do anything worth a damn.
-
Blah, failed the Normal 1cc of PoDD at Yumemi. Maybe I should try out some other shot types; anyone got any recommendations? Also, I really need to get better at Yumemi's streamed cross spam attack.
I also get the feeling I might perform better if I'm playing at some time other than four in the morning. <_< Too sleepy for insane bulletspam right now.
-
It depends on what kind of character (power, range, speed) you like in the games really. Personally, I found I played best with Reimu, but I ended up 1ccing with Yumemi in the end.

One side of me doesn't want you to succeed, but the other wants me to help you... somehow. :-\
Anyway, I did it with Yumemi also (lol, I never seriously tried other characters), and it was my overall third time playing the game. :V Yumemi's cross spam isn't that hard to dodge, as long as you watch where you're going.
EDIT: Tried Hard for the first time. Would've 1cc'd it if Rikako didn't kill me 3 times. Damn it.
-
I can't wait until you 1cc hard, say "I can do this! =D", try lunatic and fail to get past stage 1. I'm dead serious when I say the difference between hard and lunatic is that big.

It'd be nice if I didn't keep clipping bullets at random during the stages.
...Using ReimuB is harder than it looks.
-
So, I decided to be utterly insane and try MoF Hard...
NEVER AGAIN!!!!
-
Since Alice saying Genetics is overrated, I took that as a challenge and set out to specifically beat it. AS ALWAYS, a bullet that looked like it was nowhere near my hitbox clipped me. This is why I dislike SA in general: Subtle clipdeath. At least UFO has the dignity to go AH HA HA YOU'RE SCREWED.
...And this time, I got walled because I didn't know what to do. Fuck you Genetics, this is why you're with Omoikane's Brain as my least favorite spell card ever.
...And now the game froze when I wanted to try again because I'm masochistic tonight. Oh, it's ON.
OKAY THAT'S IT, FUCK YOU GAME, FUCK YOU. I DIE IN THE SAME PLACE THREE FUCKING TIMES AFTER WASTING 7 FUCKING MINUTES EACH FOR A SINGLE ATTEMPT. ALL THREE TIMES ARE IN THE SAME FUCKING PLACE AND NEVER ONCE DO I ACTUALLY SEE THE BULLET TOUCH MY HITBOX. SCREW YOU EVERYONE WHO THINKS GENETICS IS FUN OR EASY.
It's been a while I've been angry enough to cause bodily harm to myself just so you know...at least I grew out of trying to claw my skin off and settled for simply punching myself in the ribs repeatedly.
EDIT: Tried one last last time, trying not to move in the same way that got me killed. Was forced to bomb by Koishi suddenly trapping me in a corner. So now there's an artificial time limit? Greaaaaaat.
That's it, I've put way more effort into this than this fucking awful spell card deserves. I'm done. I'M DONE.
Ah, as always, rage quits empower me when I calm down a half hour later, as the accomplishments thread shows. :D
/me kicks a puppy
:D
-
MoF hard stage 1&2. Always a clipdeath.
EDIT: Add stage 3, 4 and 5.
What the hell was ZUN thinking when he designed Sanae....ALL of her cards are just clusterfucks....and ALL of them are just "create pentagrams and make them fall apart to either wall your loli or cause moar clipdeath"
In fact, I can't capture ANYTHING from stage 3 on.
-
I'm so close to beating UFO's extra - my first 'blind' Extra stage - but I can't quite do it. Why?
1. The opener. For various reasons, I make it to the orbthingies only about 1/5 attempts. After that, it's not so bad, luckily. The reasons I restart? Death from random shots, or failing to correctly grab my third Red UFO. Mostly a combo.
2. The two waves of five bulletcurve fairies. I have a great route in theory for UFOs, but if the opening doesn't line up right away for me to form a green UFO right before the last pre-Kogasa wave, I don't always notice - and get nailed.
[If I'm doing excellently by now, I have 3 lives and 3.3 bombs. I accept 2 bombs for now though]
3. Kogasa. I can capture every one of her spellcards, but... well, okay. Halo "Karakasa Surprising Flash" can go die in a fire. I swear, if you capture the first two, the roulette goes from 'truly random' to 'aimed within a couple degrees of you'. Why? I can NEVER capture all three cards. I can only capture this if I blow the first two - and then it's so easy. But if I do capture both, the card has, every time, come within an inch of me - or been dead on. (And having to play at 1/3 frame draw rate doesn't help). I bomb once I hit half health to avoid the sped up craziness, but...
[I accept finishing this battle with no less than two lives]
4. NUE. I can reach her with 4 lives and a few bombs if I don't screw it up (Rare, but has occured), but the better state I'm in upon reaching her... the more I screw up. I shouldn't be taking a hit except if the Blue UFO card decides to be a jerk (One pattern is EZ Modo... the other forces a couple bombs out of me), but all the same, I'll get nailed by a fast nonspell, or by the green UFO card, which I really shouldn't... and then from card 8 on the battle becomes hard, but stupid mistakes have reduced me to almost nothing. My wall is the survival card. I either do really well, but eventually get cocky for surviving and it costs me my last life... or I come in with multiple lives and proceed to blow it every time the laser grid 'moves'.
*Sigh* I know I can do this. Nue cards 1-3 and 4-7 all have at least a 50% capture rate. So I should be able to do this.
On a happier note, I looked up my spellcard stats to factcheck that last bit, and... I found out there's only two cards I never captured on Normal - Syou's spinny green laser trap, and Hiziri's Shinki tribute. Doesn't mean a damn thing for my Extra performance... D: 7 hours and counting...
I can't wait until you 1cc hard, say "I can do this! =D", try lunatic and fail to get past stage 1. I'm dead serious when I say the difference between hard and lunatic is that big.
I don't know who you were talking to or which game that is - but my experience is gonna say UFO. God damn UFO Lunatic is batshit.
(With that said, I'm looking at Baity's Lunatic UFO run right now... and there's actual changes from Hard -> Lunatic, other than just More And Faster Bullets Lol. And is it just me or is Nazrin's pendulum card EASIER on Lunatic than Hard?)
-
Posting to say that I have a SC History of 1/50 for "Radiant Treasure Gun"UFO S5 SC2. Clipdeaths and continuous walling (I've grown to accept that the SC is quite random; although it does follow a general pattern).
2/50 (!) on "Greatest Treasure"UFO S5 SC1.
That's SanaeB alone.
And of course "Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple"UFO S6 SC1 is either completely BS, or there's something that I'm missing. I'm going to have to study more high-level replays (if any exist...) to work this out.
(With that said, I'm looking at Baity's Lunatic UFO run right now... and there's actual changes from Hard -> Lunatic, other than just More And Faster Bullets Lol. And is it just me or is Nazrin's pendulum card EASIER on Lunatic than Hard?)
Took a quick look just then. If you're used to swinging around the pendulums, then this SC is easier on Hard. On Lunatic, it's all about clipping the bullets.

I haven't made it to Catadioptric more than once (because dear GOD Maze of Love kicks my ass each and every time, no matter how many lives I have), but it seems that the lower right part of the screen gets the least amount of bullets. Try staying around there and follow Flandre when she comes that way.
I started working on LLS Extra Stage, and I'm doing better with the stage itself-- it all becomes easier when you realize there are some points that you can graze the hell out of and get easy extends, but then I get to that final part where the bullets are coming out of nowhere and fall apart, and then Mugetu. I actually got farther than I ever have just now, and then suddenly...
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll65/momijitsukuyomi/wtf-3.jpg)
Seriously. What the fuck. Lightning fast, all-encompassing mess. That took me by surprise and took my last life. Argh.
-
WHAT. THE. HELL.
I decided to give the stage a try using Reimu instead of Marisa, and RIGHT when I start the battle with Mugetu...
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll65/momijitsukuyomi/WTFMKII.jpg)
What the fuck does that even say or mean? I've never seen anything like this before.
This infuriates me. I was brimming with confidence going into this, because I had managed to survive that final barrage before Mugetu shows up without a scratch!
-
I can't get the PC-98 games to run at all...
Also I keep losing lives to Whater Meilings first card is on Normal EoSD.
-
Matsuri:lolwut?
-
Seriously! What the hell happened?
(side note: I've got my revenge against the game for that, and I've come rather close to beating Extra stage now.)

"I think it's good if you don't do things like recklessly pressing the stop key. (In the middle of the game.) (Hey, return with the stop key.)"
I've played the PC-98 stuff all of once, so I don't know for sure, but maybe you hit a button accidentally that made everything asplode? :-\
-
BROFIST LAG. On hard and above it's almost impossible not to fly straight into a bullet when the fists disappear and the framerate jumps from below 30 back to 60. I'd probably have 1cc'ed UFO hard by now, but losing 3-4 lives to Ichirin every run (often with bombs in stock) isn't fun at all (it also means I'm trying it less than once per day since I feel more like kicking puppies than playing UFO again).

Nothing different from the usual! I can't read most kanji, so I skip through the dialogue, and as soon as the dialogue finished, that error message popped up. I tried pressing every button, and nothing happened. I just got out of fullscreen, killed the emulation window, and started again.
-
Ooh, that happened to me before Matsuri. It was in the middle of fighting Marisa in LLS for me. I think it's a glitch with the emulators, because as far as I know the stop key isn't mapped to the keyboard. It's essentially a "restart" screen.
-
UFO normal modo.
RaymooB.
Got to Byakuren with two lives, two bombs.
With 4/5 of a life and two red UFOs at that.
Died to a sliver of life on Fantasia.
Obligatory OH GOD WHY
-
PCB Normal.
WHY DOES MY FAMILY KEEP INTERUPTING ME! I HAVEN'T EVEN BEATEN ALICE BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP CLOSING THE GAME!
Other than that its going reletively well.

I suppose so, then. I can read the screen but that's about all the help I can be there. >_>
-
Oh yeah! So I downloaded that "Next" emulator for the PC-98 games and tried it out. It fixed the flicker that often happens with Anex86 on this computer, but makes the music quality much truer to the original. And by that I mean WTF this is awful. Balance systems are supposed to work in games, not in real life! D: Flicker or bad music?
-
Donut, check your thread in tech support. :V
-
Reach Shinki with three or four lives left. Reach Cheeto lasers, where I proceed to go: "AHHH! BOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMBOMB!!!! AAAHH!!!" *death upon running out of bombs* *bombspam resumes*
I made it past those somehow, but didn't finish the battle ._.
Also, am I the only one who is vaguely reminded of Utsuho's second spellcard when I see that attack Shinki unleashes when she first gets those wings?
-
That attack has more in common with Emerald Megalith then Peta Flare. =V
-
You people complain about the "Cheeto Lasers" too much. It's easier than you think. Also, apparently there's a legitimate strategy to deal with "Emerald Megalith"EoSD S4 SCX quite consistently so... >_>
-
It's easier than you think.
Seconded, actually. I beat that phase blindly even.
-
I hate SoEW... Barely managed to complete it AFTER CONTINUING ON MARISA because it's so completely and totally stupid T_T
-
I can't wait until you 1cc hard, say "I can do this! =D", try lunatic and fail to get past stage 1. I'm dead serious when I say the difference between hard and lunatic is that big.
Haha, no kidding. Just tried Lunatic and managed to reduce Stage 3 Reimu's health to 1 before I Game Over'd. Even gaining 1 Extend as early as Stage 3 didn't help much, and both players reaching Lv 16 at Stage 1 was frightening. ;)
-
GAAAH!! STUPID PATCHOULI, STUPID ROYAL FLARE!!!! I know that card is supposed to be static, BUT I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!! GAAAAH!!!
-
Today was my touhou fail day
I had a lot of work to do, and cleaning and supermarket... Got really tired.
Then I sat down and decided to 1cc something I hadn't yet.
EoSD Hard, many deaths on Meiling (I usually capture all of her cards). Game over at Patchouli
PCB Hard, many deaths on Alice. Game over at Prismrivers
IN Hard, many deaths during stage 3. Game over at Keine :/
MoF Hard, many, many, many deaths on stage 1 and 2. Gave up after 10 tries or so
SA Normal. Went worse than usual. Game over at Orin.
UFO Normal. Tried a few times but I kept committing suicide while trying to catch UFOs. Farthest I got was to Murasa.
-
Kogasa's rain card.
I'm doing fine, I'm doing fine, I'm still doing fi- OH SHI WALL
Then I realize I have no bombs. But I dodge it anyways.
Anticipating the bomb going off makes me stop, and get hit by the next wave.
Spinning lasers of death.
OH SHI LASER ON TOP OF ME
bomb
wait
wait
And immediately after the bomb a laser is on top of me again.
Nightmare of Heian.
lol this is easy easy easy easy
ZUUUUUUUUN very last wave.
-
I was SO close to perfecting Kogasa. I had her first spell card on the ropes. It was flickering, a sliver of life...but the boulders kept blocking my shots and I couldn't drain her last bit of life before an exploded boulder shot a blue bullet up into me. :( I captured everything else, including her difficult yet kickass Carnival Night Train card.
-
So close... So close... I tried to 1cc EoSD with Marisa A this time instead of B, so I could unlock Extra with her and see if I did better... I got to Red Magic last life, one bomb, then got her down to like an eight of her life before dying... So close... *sob*
-

MoF Normal. My first time playing it. I get to Kanako with 3 lives. Lose one to Expanded Onbashira because I accidentally tapped too far, and another to God's Rice Porridge because I can't see the stupid little bullets. I get to Mountain of Faith (spell card) with one life left. I'm feeling pretty good. Then I go OMG WTF IS THIS? First time dealing with a spell card like that. I dodge randomly, and bomb spam more than I need to despite their pretty much 0 usefulness. Then I die with a sliver of health remaining. God damn it. Almost a first timer 1cc. :(
-
I was doing LLS Lunatic with ReimuB... I was really happy because I only lost 1 life on Marisa, and still had 3 extra lives when I got to the final boss.
Then I make a stupid mistake and lose a life with 2 bombs left at the very start.
And THEN, when I make it to the final attack, I DIE WHILE YUKA IS EXPLODING. RAAAAAGE :'(

AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA!
MoF Stage 4 L is like a WALL. 5 continues later and I *still* can't get past Aya. It just seems like every attack is impossible without bombs.
Edit: Add that to the fact I've just tried Stage 1 twenty times and couldn't make it through without deaths ONCE...
-
Seems like there's a lot of people complaining about MoF these days
That game just sucks, even though it's my favourite :P

STUPID IN DEATHBOMBS

Tried IN Hard for the first time ever. With Reimu Solo to unlock a Last Word. Default lives.
First try : collided into a fairy in stage 2 because I stayed at the top too long and tried to go through a wall of fairies. Ragequit for the night (it was 3AM)
Second try : Game Over'd at Kaguya's last spell (Hourai Jewel?). I had quite a bit of interference too. Wriggle was angry at me and sent a fly to annoy the hell out of me, and I forgot AVG starts a scan at 12:00 and takes like 80% of my ressources. During stage 5 and 6, there were quite a few random lag spikes, and the music stuttered all the time. Fuck you AVG.
Oh, and screw you Marisa. I can't read your stupid spinning stars properly.
So, IN is super easy for me on Easy, Normal and Hard. Lunatic is about the same as the others though, which means I can't clear stage 2. Having tried Lunatic already made the first two stages on Hard seem like a piece of cake compared to the clusterfuck on Lunatic.

And once you get that done, then beat it with default lives. 14 deaths is waaaay too much.
EDIT: To avoid a useless double post; I decided to actually finish off Gengetu during "GRT" to see what the Bullet Clear Bonus would be. Hilarity ensues since the bullets move too fast, and I only get a measly 300k points for my efforts.
-
Forget Gengetu Rape Time, I'm annoyed enough at Gengetu Clipdeath Time. Which is HER WHOLE STAGE AND MUGETU AND HER RARGH
-
FFFFFFFFFFFF
Samidare's second boss' second last phase, HOW?!
Oh, and MoF Stage 1. Boring stage with CLIPDEATH.
-
Forget Gengetu Rape Time, I'm annoyed enough at Gengetu Clipdeath Time. Which is HER WHOLE STAGE AND MUGETU AND HER RARGH
Same here, same here. I'm gonna pound that winged pest soon enough...
I also almost 1CC'd PoFV Lunatic today. Got Sikieiki down to half of a life orb, and died right as she was about to get hit. Oh, and I forgot to save the replay too. FML
-
No, what the hell. What the hell. WHAT THE HELL.
It takes me around 15 tries just to get to midboss Nue without clipping anything on LLS Extra. I then promptly clip Mugetu's last phase as it clears, and clip Gengetu's first, and it really does not get any better from there.
GOD DAMN IT CLIPDEATH WHAT THE HELL
-
Gengetu's funny. Her first and third phases are hilariously easy (I like to supergraze her third phase for extends), but her second and fourth are fucking ridiculous.
Overall, Mugetu's first phase is the worst part of the stage for me.
-

Consult this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KICs5AQFDlI#t=3m39s) Basically, stay in the middle of the screen, dodge the aimed yellow bullets, and when the lasers converge on you, shield. It's basically a timing exercise with streaming. Learn the right timing for getting through the lasers with as little shield as possible to conserve your gauge and don't shield against the aimed bullets unless you really have to (sometimes you do). Samidare in general is all about timing exercises and streaming, really.
-
So apparently I can't play anymore. I tried Stage 5 Lunatic of PCB...I only managed to capture Youmu's midboss opener once, completely failed at the card, failed her opener, failed her first card by WTF CLIPDEATHs...hell, the only thing I captured was Karmic Punishment, and that's a joke.
Oh, and she killed me on Components of Konpaku with the MEREST SLIVER of health left. What the hell, tonight, what the hell.

I already watched SFKhoa's vids. I still can't do it. =V Meh, I guess I'll just have to grind it until I learn the timing then.
-
God damn it. Trying to 1cc EoSD Normal to keep the promise I made to Herasy last night (this morning?), and I die once on Rumia and Cirno to Mr. "Oh, you want to graze? Lol suck it, you just mispressed." Then I get a pretty much PERFECT run of every single stage except for Patchy (one bomb used on Emerald Megalith, capped everything else), and a pretty much perfect run of Stage 5. Then on Sakuya midboss, I forget that it's right side first and die. Then I somehow run into her and lose my last life. Then I use all my continues save 1 to get to Remilia (2 continues used on Sakuya because of clipdeath clipdeath clipdeath), who I've never gotten to before. I'm doing well, lose one life to Star of David because it caught me off guard(or whatever the one with the lasers is called), and then I get to her normal attack after. Realized there was a safespot above her during the sweeping attack. Thought I knew the pattern. Moved up, god damn it she just changed to her aimed attack. Died, lost my last life. I accidentally chose to not continue and try my hand at the rest of her attacks. Sigh.
-
Went into the fight with Mugetu with 3 lives, came out with 4. Perfect run against her. Then Gengetu shows up. 5 clipdeaths in a minute. Damn it.
-
I died on the fourth phase of Subterranean Rose.
With 4 lives left.
With Aya.
-
I go in 5/0. Die on the last wave of the final card. Again.
This time it was because I randomly died on the first wave of Nightmares.
-
Reached Youmu. On Hard. With four or five lives left. Proceeded to be slaughtered by her. Perhaps the saddest part, as I lost my last life, it was on her last card, with her health bar so low that it was practically invisible ._.
Also, "Requiem~ Prism Concerto E: 1/13" "Requiem~ Prism Concerto: 2/23" "Noisy Funeral~ Stygian Riverside: 3/3" Dear god, I despise the Prismriver Sister's second to last card on Normal and Easy, and yet it's pathetically easy on Hard. How is this possible? <.<;
-
The Prismriver's third spell card is one of those examples where easy/normal is harder than hard/lunatic. It's been a long time since I've played PCB on normal, but I still remember that spell card being ungodly difficult for normal, because it creates walls very easily, as opposed to Stygian Riverside which is just light dodging.
-
I have figured out the answer to all of Youmu's attacks... Point blank bomb ._. I can't even misdirect her midboss nonspell or her first boss nonspell properly, and somehow the second part of it is killing me now... Second nonspell... There's not enough room to move around the knives up where they come out, and I can't consistently go through a nearby gap...
I hate Youmu.
EDIT: I must have been really tired when I made this post >.< Accidentally said "spell" instead of "nonspell" twice ._. And I only notice it the next day...
-
Misdirecting Youmu's nonspell attacks is harder than actually dodging the bullets, if you ask me.

[20:07] <BaitySM[PoFVNoBombs]> oh wow, that was extraordinary
[20:07] <BaitySM[PoFVNoBombs]> stage 6, PoFV hard against Reimu
[20:12] <BaitySM[PoFVNoBombs]> whoops, bombed one by accident :V
[20:12] == BaitySM[PoFVNoBombs] has changed nick to BaitySM
[20:12] <BaitySM> got the spell counter to something like 800k points before actually getting hit; i should do this again sometime
I should totally record myself doing this in fear of a replay crashing.
Adding what I didn't put down into IRC:
- survived Stage 6 (i.e. Reimu for me) for 2:24 before clipping an amulet while moving down.
- bombed once during Stage 7 (held charge too long for EX-Attack), died shortly afterwards
-
Wow, I had almost forgotten why I rarely play SoEW. It's a whole different kind of hard. So many different ways of killing you that you can't even see coming.
-
I was doing my best UFO run so far...I the begining of stage 4 I had to go, when I went back, UFO was CLOSED
-
So damn close to EoSD Normal 1cc... I'm stocked up on 5 lives going into Stage 5. I'm feeling pretty good since I just capped all spell cards thus far too. Death 1 by ramming into a bullet within the first minute. Death 2 in the same fashion. Death 3 because I used my last bomb in the wrong spot - right before the about 8 or 10 things come down and shoot a billion aimed blue balls of death at you. Get to Sakuya. Death 4 to Sakuya's first non spell. Death 5 to Sakuya's first spell card. Death 6 to Sakuya's final spell card with a magical knife from behind on the bottom of the screen right as she was exploding.
I realize that I only used two bombs within those 6 deaths. I rage for a while since I realize that I wasted 16 bombs.
I press continue. Stage 6 - Eternal Meek takes one life off of me (damn that spell card is hard). Remilia takes one life off of me with her opener for the first time ever because the gigantic bubbles have an unfair hitbox. Then she laughs in my face and does it again. 2 Continues left, I get past her first spell card. Now I get to her next non-spell card. That thing took out like 4 lives. 1 Continue left. Curse of Vlad Tepes takes another life off of me. Her completely straight knives takes a life off of me while I was trying to PoC. 0 Continues left. Then her next non spell smacks me three more times to completely pwn me.
Why are her nonspell cards harder than her actual spell cards? :(
-
Tried out EoSD Hard for the first time, accidently used default lives, and to my surprise nearly 1cced. So, I went back and did it with 5 lives setting to make off with a 1cc to brighten my day, and I end up doing a really awesome run up to stage 4.
Then, during stage 4, I die 3 times with all my bombs in stock. Despite that, I make it to Remilia with 5 lives.
I get a VERY stupid death on her first spellcard, and then, there I am... Vampire God Art, with 4 lives and 2 bombs. I figure I might even be able to win with 2 extra lives, so it would've been like a default lives run.
But... all of Remilia's cards seem JUST doable enough on Hard to make me try to capture them, and I clipdeath with all bombs in stock 4 times, wiping out all my extra lives before her final card. I lose 2/3 of the way through Scarlet Gensokyo. Bleh. I'm gonna bomb spam her next time.

Then she laughs in my face and does it again. 2 Continues left, I get past her first spell card. Now I get to her next non-spell card. That thing took out like 4 lives. 1 Continue left. Curse of Vlad Tepes takes another life off of me. Her completely straight knives takes a life off of me while I was trying to PoC. 0 Continues left. Then her next non spell smacks me three more times to completely pwn me.
Why are her nonspell cards harder than her actual spell cards? :(
Try to bomb more. If your losing so many lives on a single attack, then if you start bombing when you think you might get hit, you'll save a LOT of lives.
Think about it;you lost 16 bombs from dying stage 5, not even starting to count the lost ones in stage 6. If you use them, you'll find find yourself having a much easier time trying to 1cc ;)
...ignore the fact that the advice I just gave is what I should've done myself, but didn't.
-
I feel like that against Meiling Hard.
I can cap all her cards, but I need to bomb most of her noncards including her opener
-
Wow, I had almost forgotten why I rarely play SoEW. It's a whole different kind of hard. So many different ways of killing you that you can't even see coming.
A couple of days ago I tried SoEW for the first time.... the horror, the horror. Everything tries to ram you one way or another, I needed two continues to beat normal since I was dying with three bombs left and right. Because YOU CAN'T DEATHBOMB, which spells doom for blind runs.

HOURAI JEWEL LUNATIC IS INSANE WHAT THE HELL
STREAMING THE STREAMING PARTS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY GET THROUGH THE GAPS WHAT THE JESUS IS UP WITH THAT
EDIT: AHA nevermind figured out the trick to it, I think, it's only possible to go through every other streaming wave. Didn't see it until now because they look exactly the same. <_<
EDIT2: FUCK I died at 33 seconds remaining how goddamn long does this thing take to kill ;_;
EDIT3: 225 attempts in... still not capped it yet. Goddamn.
-
EDIT2: FUCK I died at 33 seconds remaining how goddamn long does this thing take to kill ;_;
IIRC, it's invulnerable until something like 45 or 50 seconds remaining. (This is why I was terrified on my 1cc a week-ish ago when I was failing at streaming and ended up 0/0 when there was still 55 seconds on the clock...)
-
-cut to save space-
I realize that I only used two bombs within those 6 deaths. I rage for a while since I realize that I wasted 16 bombs.

I just always see other players taking out the non spells so easily that I want to do it myself :P. Only 3 or so of those deaths were death bomb escapable. The others were all awesome high speed collisions =_=. In any case, I'm awake and ready to TRY AGAIN!! :V
-
Why the FUCK does the gods hate me?
Hourai Elixer on Lunatic is, IMO, the hardest touhou spellcard, period. It's just- AGGGGHHHHH!
And I managed to get this piece of shit to 0 seconds left, THREE GODDAMN TIMES! Oh god, I want to cry so hard right now.
-

Have you done Hourai Jewel Lunatic yet? If not... you may end up changing your opinion about that. >_< Even Fantasy Heaven didn't take me as many attempts as Hourai Jewel, and that was done back when I had way less skill than I had now. It's INSANE.
-
Hourai Jewel can be micromemorized. =V It's still a shitty boring card though.
Scarlet Meister Lunatic is still generally considered the hardest spellcard, I think.
UFO Stage 2 and 3 suck. =V I can't get past them because I have a tendency to not bomb there for some reason.

Erm, uh, no, I haven't. I bombspammed it in my actual Lunatic run. It, along with Omikon's Brain (Hard and Lunatic) and Lunatic Geneology of the Sky Born are the only spellcards I have left. I've been trying to do Hourai Elixer first, though, and now it's up to FIVE times I died at the last second.
Hourai Jewel should be fun, though. At least it'll be shorter between attempts. Once Elixer and Jewel are out of the way, the rest should be creampuffs in comparison.
-
Many, many, many attempts at a PoFV lunatic 1cc with someone other than cheapshots Aya and Medicine failing spectacularly at Shikieiki (and occasionally Raymoo when playing with Shiki). Enter with multiple lives to spare, get her down to one hit remaining multiple times less one, fail despite pulling off three or four miracle dodges each time after listening to that HORRIBLE, EVIL TAUNTING SOUND.
Where exactly does a PoFV lunatic 1cc with anyone other than Aya and Medicine stand in terms of difficulty, anyway? It still seems to be the easiest lunatic by far (I'm not even close to being a lunatic player elsewhere bar EoSD, which, given enough concentration, seems manageable enough up to Remilia), but maybe I'm being fooled by PoFV's story mode's odd difficulty ramp, and it's actually as nasty as some other lunatics?
-
If I can beat PoFV Lunatic, it's not that high on the difficulty scale.
It ranges from nearly-easiest to maybe average depending on the character you use. It only gets tough around Stage 6, so it's not as time- or effort-consuming as the other games.

If you're using Aya or Medicine, then you're probably only playing on what is essentially borderline Normal-Hard. Just saying :V
Been spending quite some time now figuring out how to take out Kogasa's First Boss Spell Card. Null-result. I can survive until 11 seconds left on the timer (which is beyond for all shot types) but by doing this, the screen starts to fill up ridiculously and I can't even deal damage.
Also, random boss movement down the screen blows. The fact that Syou can move down the screen a considerable amount which makes for less reading time makes Baity a clippy person.

-
Yes, but how does that compare to LLS Lunatic? :V
/me looks at past records
It says that I've cleared LLS Lunatic 5/x with Reimu, and 4/x with Marisa (I also have one ~98% progress no bombs run). Actually learning the S4 midbosses really helped save me 1 death (not 2 because I was too slow for the second one and got trapped in the corner).
PoFV's difficulty (across all ranges) varies accordingly to character and well, randomness (AI defeated earlier than their expected time). Overall though, I would place PoFV Lunatic above LLS Lunatic. Whereabouts I would place the upper boundary? Probably below MS Lunatic.
-
Blahhhhh I'm posting in here after every single attempt now because it's always something... This time I did a perfect run up to Stage 4 where I lost all my lives. I died on Sakuya midboss because I went too far down while abusing the safe spot above her and hit her knives :(. I got to Remilia no problem, even capturing Eternal Meek on the way (it's still a gay spell card), where I used up two continues to beat her. At least I actually did it D:
I swear that Scarlet Shoot is comparable to Scarlet Meister Hard because you can get walled in so easily, unless there's a trick that I'm missing. Red Magic is just as bad. On both spell cards I got walled in a total of 5 times. :(
-
I don't see many differences between Red Magic and Scarlet Gensokyo on Hard.....
In fact, Normal Remi=Hard Remi. Except for Scarlet Meister.....not that Scarlet Shoot is any easier :V
What ruins my runs is Patchouli. And her stage.
-

For me, going into Stage 4 with Marisa B is suicide. But she's basically my main, so... :V

I've also used MarisaB before, but once I've started attempting Extra, I've started to like ReimuB more and more thanks to her power and acceptable speed.
I wouldn't touch any Marisa again now.....sure, A has the strongest shot and B the best bomb, but it's like Touhou on Ice :V

In Red Magic, the stupid purple bubbles come out of the walls. In Gensokyo, they don't. But I swear that Scarlet Shoot is stupid stupid stupid :P
And it's more like if I lose one life on Stage 4, then it's infinitely easier for me to make another mistake, thus losing another life. Patchy herself isn't that bad on Normal. Her only hard spell card for me is Sylphae Horn, both it's Normal and Hard counterpart. Forest Blaze can get tricky, but only if you're unlucky or have a high rank. Agni Shrine High Level and Agni Radiance are both easy for me. Emerald Megalith for me is also fairly easy on Normal. On Hard I usually end up bombing even though I could probably slip through it without one :P
-
What ruins my runs is Patchouli. And her stage.
My thoughts exactly.
If I haven't beaten EoSD Hard is because of Stage 4 + Patchouli
Same for PCB.. Stage 4 + Prismrivers really destroys my run

*sigh* So, let's see... Stupid death by somehow accidentally ramming a laser which I could easily have dodged by NOT MOVING AT ALL BECAUSE NOTHING WAS COMING AT ME, no deaths to Patchouli, reach stage 5 with six lives. Die twice to the stage, one of those being to midboss Sakuya, prompting me to time out her nonspell by safespotting, so she leaves me without that extend she typically drops. Then I die two times to her boss battle. Another stupid death on stage 6, reducing me to two lives. Capture both of stage 6 Sakuya's attacks, capture Remilia's first nonspell, die to Star of David, therefore losing FOUR BOMBS and putting me on my last life. I make it all the way to Red Magic with a bomb left. Unnecessary bomb early on, then a stupid death to a bubble shot. Gaah...
*headdesk* WHY MUST MY MARISA A 1CC ALWAYS REMAIN JUST BEYOND MY GRASP?! I did it with Marisa B before, why not A? T_T
EDIT: Oh, and did I mention that I captured every stage 1-4 card except Extreme Color Typhoon and Forest Blaze? Because I did.

What's that called? It's called trying to get score and dying stupidly in the process as well as other dumb deaths? Why yes. Yes it is. Go ahead. Watch and laugh.
:(
-
PCB has a curse on me... Every single time I try to play Normal, I get two deaths on stages 2 & 3. I have no problems whatsoever with anything in there, I just always get two random deaths. I restart if I die on stage 1, or it would be stages 1-3 that the curse applied to <.<; And in addition, apparently it considers any time that allows me to capture Alice's final card as being stage 4, therefore allowing me to die again. Since I actually captured AND died to Alice's final card somehow on this run. Yay. Also, on this particular run, the two stupid deaths were composed of one death to each of Alice's non-boss appearances. Yeah.
-
Double whammy here. I went for my first PCB 1cc on Lunatic, and things looked bad nearing Yuyuko. I toughed it out and managed to do VERY well on her. But it was pretty hopeless. I reached Resurrection Butterfly 0/0.
...And I almost capped it. I died to the last set of red butterflies on the last wave. As I died, I raged as I caught sight of the red 04 resting in the corner of my screen.
-
I just lost all my lives on Patchouli, twice.
-
*headdesk* I reached the Prismriver Sister with seven lives left. Died three times to their first three attacks. Later, died to Prism Concerto. I manage to get through stage 5, two lives left at the end of it. Both get taken away by Youmu's stage 6 nonspell. *starts banging head on wall until house falls down*
-
NO NO NO NO NO!!! Screw you Remilia. I hate you and your dumb Scarlet Shoot and Red Magic. FFUUUU!!! This is my freaking 13th or something time doing this today and OMFG I NEED 2 CONTINUES TO DO THESE LAST TWO DUMB SPELL CARDS?? Gafhdafhsa;jfdslhglshafdsafdsaha;fd
This will take a while... Why are both of those spell cards so unfair :( Everything else is pretty much a cake walk. I'm going to die because of those two spell cards... Wait... WAIT I BEAT REMILIA ONCE THAT MEANS I HAVE PRACTICE MODE!! Now I feel stupid. *Goes to spend the next 24 hours on Stage 6*

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BULLSHIT I PRESSED BOMB DAMMIT I PRESSED THE BOMB BUTTON GAHHHHHH
I WENT INTO STAGE 6B WITH FOUR LIVES AND I GAINED ANOTHER ONE ON TOP OF THOSE FOUR HOW DID I STILL GET A GAME OVER BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO HOURAI JEWEL DMASGDJASFG GODDAMNIT
-
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT BULLSHIT I PRESSED BOMB DAMMIT I PRESSED THE BOMB BUTTON GAHHHHHH
This happens to me a lot. Glad to know I'm not alone <.<; Seriously, even with the Vsync patch, it just seems completely random on whether deathbombs will be successful when I press the button as I'm dead/about to die. It's not right T_T
-
I get that very often with IN too. Sometimes it'll take over 3 tries for the game to actually activate the bomb, and by the time it's activated it's too late and it becomes a damn deathbomb (or somehow I'll have dodged through what I wanted to bomb and it just becomes completely useless). Then I almost break my X key by pressing it really hard, repeatedly, and asking the game if it will f****** notice I want to bomb.
Or maybe it doesn't like when I press Shift+Z+X+Arrow key. I don't get that problem with the other games though, so it should not be only because of my keyboard.
EDIT : Fuck IN deathbombs in general. I deathbombed quick enough about 6 times for even EoSD to register it, and only one of them took only one bomb. The REAL (as in, not completely useless) deathbomb window is ridiculously small, maybe even only on the exact frame you get it.
Another IN Hard game over at Hourai Jewel (why can't I continue anyway?), this time with the timer at 10 (the countdown had just started). Reimu Solo isn't good at capturing spellcards. At all. Especially against familiars. So Kaguya and Marisa are ugh.
Why do I suck so much against Reisen? I used 4 bombs on her first spell (2 d-bombs), while I can capture it fairly easily.
EDIT 2 : Can't summer end already so my hands don't get super sweaty 5 minutes after I washed them!?
-
A few no-bombs practice runs of UFO S6 was enough for me to say:
This is stupid.
Once you die, you start to make things harder for yourself due to low power. I did manage to stall the 2nd non-spell for ~20-30 seconds, so that's a bonus.
...and timed out the first SC once because I tried to experiment with a new strategy (which is working).

I don't think the vsynch patch changes death bomb time frames, or at least I haven't noticed any difference.

fffffffffffffffffffffff MoF (the card) kept me from beating MoF (... the game, obviously) Easy again. Maybe it's a sign I should move on up and start tackling Normal anyway.
-
the Easy version of that card is as hard as fuck, honestly. i think Normal is WAYYYY easier.
-
Just 1cc'ed IN in Easy, first time in 1 year without playing it... Utter crap. Failed all of Kaguya's last spells, bombed like hell and died like an idiot twice... The worst run I've ever done in Easy, yet the best score... why do I feel so miserable? Anyways, gotta practice for a run in Normal =S
-
the Easy version of that card is as hard as fuck, honestly. i think Normal is WAYYYY easier.
Yeah, that's why I think the game is trying to tell me something, since when I don't mega-fail before i get anywhere near stage 6 I end up losing with like half that card left.
Cards that aren't total bullshit on Easy (maybe - not sure... at least not as notoriously as MoF) that I need to figure out, though: Miracle of Otensui %$#@ looks like typical streaming and then I get walled. >=|
-
Well that was bloody crap.
I tried UFO, just to give the English patch a run, on Normal.
I died twice on stage 2, and I think twice on Stage 3. Died to midboss Nue. Died, died, died, died, died. Got to Stage 6 0/0, game overed at Byakuren's third card. Utter CRAP. Didn't even get to see the goddamn ending.
-
*headdesk* So, let's see... Reach Murasa five lives, no bombs. Die to first card. Game refuses to register deathbomb on second, (like every single game loves to do) then just plain old fashioned stupid death to it again. Die to third card. Use both bombs of last life on survival card. Finished off by first set of stage 5 fairies. I just have one thing to say... Why? WHY DOES STUFF LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?! GAAAH!!!
-
UFO S6 NB Take 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4757).
I prefer to obtain Power from the normal enemies as opposed to Nue since I can't use 2 bombs to mass power.
-
I tried playing UFO Normal with MarisaB for the sake of the patch.
No deaths and lots of caps all the way up to Byakuren with 8/0.
Mystic Fragrance of a Makai Butterfly. Died. (Yes, it gets worse from here)
Third nonspell. Speared (like usual, I hate this attack). Bombed. Died at the end of the bomb from a bullet that wasn't cleared (note to self: MarisaB has ZERO grace period after bombing).
Star Maelstrom. Doublebombed.
Fourth nonspell. Speared again. Doublebombed.
Devil's whatever, now at 1.06 power. Actually got near the end before being forced to bomb.
Air Scroll. Died to the first wave (note to self: corner is dangerous). Bombed, died again, bombed.
Flying Fantastica. Bomb Death Bomb Bomb Death, finish 0/2.
Everyone loves those moments when you suddenly forget what you're doing and why you're playing in the middle of Stage 6.
-
Ok, so here's my story: truly yours was in the way to victory, the perfect run in Normal in IN, no deaths and miraculously no bombings, and I was all happy and stuff. Then, when I was at the beginning of stage 6, some motherfuckin' asshole let's his pick-up truck alarm go off, and it was like that for about 15 minutes! 15 bloody minutes! Even when I paused the game, all my concentration became shit, and when I resumed I got killed 6 times BEFORE even reaching Kaguya---
RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
-
Air Scroll. Died to the first wave (note to self: corner is dangerous). Bombed, died again, bombed.
Actually, I've found that if you're trying to finish Air Scroll as fast as possible, the corner is the best place to be. In order of waves, you should be in the right corner, then left, then stay in left, then right, and then right. By then you should have capped or at least come close to capping the card.
-
UFO Stage 4. I have around five lives. I'm feeling good as I'm starting to get confident that if I keep this up I can probably finish the game.

I assume this is on Normal-Up, since Murasa is arguably the easiest 4th Stage Boss for me (considering how bad of a player I am) on Easy. This would mean more things to look forward to when I'm trying UFO Normal, I guess. ;)

I feel... Drained. I don't know. It's as if UFO has sucked the life out of me somehow... Gaah... Why...? Ichirin, Murasa, Shou, all of them are so nasty, and their stages... I just... Urrgh... I just had trouble reaching Byakuren WHEN I WAS CONTINUE SPAMMING ON HER STAGE, which shows just what this game has done to me... I just... Just... Can't do it...

MarisaA is great for NOT LETTING THE UFOs GO AWAY, NOOOOO COME BACK HERE
Pocket blindspot isn't fun though. Neither is getting besieged from both sides on stage 5 with a crapton of bullets which look just like the pocket blindspot laser shooting thingies. It makes for awesome twitch dodging, though - until you run straight into a stray bullet.

If you want to know what happened, just play through 6B.
Deaths started from S2, being Solo Yuyuko and all. Hourai Jewel was basically blind, save for pre-knowledge of Hard. 1st 1cc of IN Lunatic fell short.

Not really the game's fault but man, is it a bitch to play Touhous with fake nails. Typing is kind of hindered but I didn't instantly assume bullet dodging was too to my dismay.
Needed a break from my reading assignments, oh hello PoFV haven't played this one since I've been able to clear games without running out of continues.

Probably would have done it if not for the massive amounts of screwups on the Stage 2 boss that I forget the name of and Stage 4 in general. No deathbomb is irritating. Having said that... not bad for only my second attempt. I'll probably 1cc this tomorrow.
Another thing... is the Hard/Lunatic version of Mima's star attack (which I died to twice) even possible on Hard/Lunatic? I can't see any way around it other than bombing.
EDIT: On a totally different note, I only just realised how awesome Mima's theme is.
-
Mima is a big supporter of fake difficulty, to the point where her fight is the worst designed in the series. Indeed, if that attack is possible, I have yet to see how it is. Also, watch out for her last phase, where the bigger bullets have hitboxes BIGGER than the bullets. Thankfully, Mima is usually so easy that it makes up for this, but still...don't even give her a chance to be threatening.
-
Another thing... is the Hard/Lunatic version of Mima's star attack (what I died to twice) even possible on Hard/Lunatic? I can't see any way around it other than bombing.
Yes, it is. However, it requires you to be on the center-side of the screen when the attack starts. And since it occurs by random chance...
-
UFO... Why...? I don't even understand why I play it anymore... Last night, it felt like it drained the life out of me, today it gave me a horrible combination of rage and depression, and I think I feel myself getting that drained feeling again... Why... What is... What is with this game... How can it just seem to break my spirit like this... Gaaah...

Probably would have done it if not for the massive amounts of screwups on the Stage 2 boss that I forget the name of and Stage 4 in general. No deathbomb is irritating. Having said that... not bad for only my second attempt. I'll probably 1cc this tomorrow.
Another thing... is the Hard/Lunatic version of Mima's star attack (which I died to twice) even possible on Hard/Lunatic? I can't see any way around it other than bombing.
EDIT: On a totally different note, I only just realised how awesome Mima's theme is.
How are you retaining your sanity playing in a window? SoEW is mean enough in Fullscreen, but...

I beat Evil Eye Sigma windowed...without the knowledge of double tapping...back when I was still a normal mode player.
IT WAS HELL.

What is double tapping? ???

Hammering the fire button repeatedly for extra bullets.

Nah, I play fullscreen. :P I just windowed it for the screenshot; last time I tried taking a full-screen screenshot in a PC-98 it just ended up as a load of black, for some reason.

YOU CANNOT WOUND ME, FOR I AM ALREADY INSANE. And, er...I did it first. So YEAH.

Huh. I didn't know about that. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

I swear UFO has an in-built confidence sensor that's designed to make you die the second your confidence dips below some unknown threshold.
And I also swear a lot playing as Marisa B. She does *nothing* but cover the screen in terribly weak shots, and her bomb is atrocious.

Alternatively, you are somehow able to sense when the game decides it's time for you to die, so your confidence goes down.

Ye gods, tHRtP is the poorest-designed game I may have ever played. (Except possibly UFO).
I am completely unable to get past Kikuri on Normal. I just spent around 30 continues trying to. It was my first time past Mima (that took a couple continues, too), but...WHAT THE HELL HER FIRST PHASE AND WHY DOES THE BALL KILL ME INSTEAD OF GOING UP EVERY GODDAMN TIME WHAT THE CRAP WHAT HIT ME THERE IS NOTHING THERE
-
Just got through another session of getting my ass kicked by Shikieiki. The less awful part is that fighting Komachi is just so much fun. Still, losing four lives at stage final = not fun. Even more annoying when you watch the replay and think, "I probably did my absolute best there and it wasn't enough". Close, but not enough.
And for the record, it's not just the AI that gets destroyed by Medicine. Ouch. Antivirus software deciding to update in the middle of an EX spam was the icing on the (poisoned) cake.
Oh, and subdued rage at Lunasa not being available in story mode.

HRtP is badly designed, even as a fan I'll admit this. However, the trick is to learn how to defeat the design. If you time it right, you can get multi-hit combos on all the bosses (remember that Kikuri's hitbox is the upper fifth of her sprite). Also don't be afraid to use your shots to clear bullets. You're pretty much screwed if you don't use this.
-
I swear UFO has an in-built confidence sensor that's designed to make you die the second your confidence dips below some unknown threshold.
I think that confidence sensor also makes you die if your confidence goes ABOVE a certain threshold as well. Every time I seem to be having a pretty good run and I think "Hey, maybe I can finally 1cc this!" I die horribly to stupid mistakes and crap.
Like just now. Had max bombs and 7 lives near the middle of Stage 4, and by the time I got to Murasa I was down to 2 lives and 3 bombs, something atrocious like that. I did much better on the next two stages, managed to make it all the way to Byakuren's Shinki card before game over.
If only I wouldn't of have died randomly so much to Murasa's fucking stage, I might be celebrating Extra stage unlock right now. ><

Collision death with EoSD stage2 swarm of white whateverthefuckthatis after Daiyousei #59175901750175.
Oh god what is this.
-
Goddamnit. Died at Mima with three bombs in stock a few seconds before she entered her final phase. >_<
Also... are there any good tactics for the huge amounts of enemies that tend to show up just before bosses? Especially the pre-Stage 3 boss part. Normally I'd just shoot them all but on Lunatic that gets me walled, and if I don't shoot them they all just chase me about and kill me anyway, so I usually end up having to use 2-3 bombs on that part. :V

tHRtP is no masterpiece, but gameplaywise the only thing that would need fixing badly is the physics of the bouncing walls and bumpers... and possibly Lunatic Sariel starting phase second attack type. I think it is possible if you swing the gohei at just the right time, but the question is whether or not it is humanly possible.
If you really want a badly designed game, try SoEW. :V
-
I dislike Youmu as a character, and EVEN MORE as a boss. Ugh. Thankfully I'm trying for EoSD hard, and NOT PCB.
-
Lost my last life on Kanako with a score of 149,771,290.
I probably wouldn't do it this time either, but I would have atleast a small chance.
-
Gaaaah... EoSD Hard... I only just realized how utterly insane it is ._. Died to Rumia... Okay, that's still embarassing, but it's not like I rammed a bullet headfirst... I just went too far on grazing, I tend to try to rack it up when I'm fighting her >.< But anyway... Cirno's first nonspell scares me, I bombed stages 3&4 a ridiculous number of times (because they're now terrifying) and Patchouli... Oh god... So anyway, I got finished off by Patchouli's Forest Blaze this run...
-
Byakuren is my new Kaguya. I spend the entire game getting resources and holding onto them because I know for a fact I *will* mess up the fight in spectacular fashion, especially that stupid laser card.

Got to Mima, finally. Was doing really well, died, had no lives left, OHLOOKSTARSFROMNOWHEREHAVEFUN

Mountain Of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
It's NOT the easiest 1cc. I can do a perfect China fight on Hard easily, but I have to bomb most of Nitori's cards TWO times. Never captured anything except for Flash Flood.
Stage 4. Sucks.
Stage 5. Was cool until I died against Sanae with 5 power.
I've captured EVERY Sakuya's card on Hard. I don't remember capturing even one Sanae's card. And her nonspells suck just as much.
-

If anything, her nonspells suck MORE in my opinion at least. Criss-crossing walls that can trap you with no gaps to go through... That has happened to me many, many times... ._.
-
Lunatic brofists. That is all. @_@

Gah, Flower Dream Vine... Of course Meiling would get a completely new card that can utterly destroy me on Hard mode, otherwise it wouldn't really be hard... But still, why...?

I'm bad at these games, but there's no excuse for this: i lost FIVE lives to PCB youmu...ON NORMAL! whoever said that stage 4 is harder than stage 5 in every touhou game was WRONG! GAH!!!! I now hate youmu in everything ever...

I know how you feel... I once game overed on a practice run against her O_o; Granted, it was on Hard, but still... Youmu is horrible <.<; Shou is borrible, Orin is horrible... Sanae is horrible... Come to think of it, most stage 5 bosses are just absolutely nasty... ._.
EDIT: Speaking of Shou... Second nonspell, just barely avoid being hit by a laser... Wait, what the hell?! HOW THE HECK DID THAT KILL ME?! IT DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH ME! GAAAAHH!!!!
EDIT AGAIN: So, just for the heck of it, I went and tried Easy mode again... It was pathetic! I think that probably the only non-trivial parts before I reached Byakuren, (who still had a lot of fairly tough attacks) were Kogasa's final (...) and Shou's last two spells. And yet, Normal mode completely destroys me to the point of making me feel like my life is being drained away... What the hell...? I understand that Normal mode is supposed to be tougher than Easy mode, but by THIS amount?! That's... Seriously not right <.<; I mean... Come on...
-
CAPTAIN MURASA's Lunatic non-cards. ARGH.
BAH, died to Shou's final card.
jasdkgkaasfl, I give up. Will continuespam through UFO when I'm not sleepy. >_<

I guess you're right.
At first I thought MoF was the easiest Hard, but just cause I could get to stage 6... then I kept practicing it for a month and a half before I actually beat the game lol...
EoSD and PCB just feel so much easier than MoF.. I never capture any spellcards from Stage 4 on, but I can capture stuff from Prismrivers and Patchouli..
Alice and Meiling are MUCH easier than Nitori...
and EoSD and PCB don't have 95% clipping rate stages 1 and 2
-
Alice and Meiling are MUCH easier than Nitori...
Nitori has one hard card (midboss card) in a game where you have practically infinite bombs.
Alice has a mid-boss non-card that's stupidly hard and bulletfest spellcards in a game where bombs are the most precious thing after lives.
-
Alice's midboss noncard isn't that hard... And PCB gives lives away like candy starting around midway through Stage 3.
Also, I object to Nitori having one hard card, and particularly that it's her midboss card.

This reminds me of a particularly enraging moment of SoEW. I was trying to 1cc hard (without double tapping since I still didn't know it existed D:), was at Mima with decent resources, she fired her 1up...
AND IT FELL THROUGH ME.
This is because in SoEW points and such have to hit your hitbox instead of just your sprite, meaning it's entirely possible to miss an item despite touching it. Cue game over and raeg.
-
I have like five replays of Sikieiki's Extra where if I didn't die to Reimu more than once I would nab the high score one sub-board over.
Needlessly to say, each time I've died to Reimu anywhere from three to six times. Some of the deaths are just embarrassing.
-
Okay, so I'm doing a long rant about UFO. Sorry, but... GAAH!
To begin with, in keeping with the theme of collecting troubles... UFOs... Oh god, the UFOs... I was trying to get UFOs, and I ended up colliding right into an enemy... One of those slow-moving orb things... Then it's also frustrating when you get a UFO and IT FLIES OFF! IT FREAKING FLIES OFF LEAVING NOTHING BEHIND AND RAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem* Anyway... Midbosses seem to be put precisely in places where you're going to have a UFO... Or two... Or even THREE flying around. I have no idea how many times I've been killed by midboss Nazrin or Kogasa because I WAS CHASING A UFO!!!! Seriously...
And now they're distracting me even when they're not on-screen ._. I was trying to do Kogasa's second card, but my thoughts were still on those annoying little UFOs... I probably could have dodged that bullet IF I HADN'T BEEN THINKING ABOUT THOSE STUPID IDIOTIC THINGS!!! (not saying that I don't just occasionally make stupid mistakes when not distracted, but in this particular instance...)
So anyway... Yeah. Honestly, the UFO system is annoying and seems to be deliberately built to be difficult at times. Unfortunately, the game is already tough enough without those distractions... At any given time from stage 3 on, odds are that the screen will be cluttered with bullets. In stage five, they'll sometimes practically obscure the screen... Nazrin's stage 5 opener isn't especially tough, but seeing that huge spot on the screen around her turn white is one of my personal pet peeves, I just find it annoying as hell... And then the point items... GAAAH!!!!! They're worse than the UFOs on parts of stage 5 ._. Seriously, between the point items, the bullets, and the little waves the fairies give off when they die... HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO SEE ANYTHING?!
UFO is, if anything, worse than SA. You don't get as many bombs or lives by just normal gameplay, and the danmaku is no less unforgiving. I mean seriously... Kogasa and Ichirin? Not a single one of Kogasa's cards is really that easy. Actually, there was a point where I considered her final to be something to automatically bomb... Actually, even on Easy mode, that thing is far from trivial. Basically, it's worse than ANY other stage 2 attack in the windows games...
And then Ichirin. Oh god no Ichirin... Her first and third cards are nightmarish, her midboss card and her second boss nonspell are just annoying as well (more so the former) She's not as bad as Yuugi from SA, I will give her that (Yuugi has a midboss card I just automatically bomb, and her second boss card is the same way. Final is pretty luck based it seems. And her nonspells are tougher too.) but still, it's just... ARGH!
And let's leave Murasa at this... ARGH!!! Everything besides her first nonspell is capable of killing me. First spell isn't THAT bad, but it's still annoying, between the fact that the anchor can kill you as it retracts, the stuff it leaves in its wake, AND the splash danmaku it leaves behind... It's annoying >.< It's easy as hell with few bullets left behind like the Easy mode version, and if you completely removed any one part, it would be utterly pathetic, but...
Then the second card. Okay, seriously, this is the stuff of nightmares ._. I have trouble staying underneath Murasa, so I'll sometimes end up with criss-crossing streams of bullets that DRIFT, leading to either bombing or dying very quickly. Her last card... Oh god, I hate that too. I'm not sure WHY I have so much trouble with it, but I do... And her survival card... I have never gotten through it without dying/bombing. Usually I end up doing so multiple times,.
Stage 5 Nazrin... I've already said my gripe about her opener, and her card can just be summed up as annoying. So that brings us to Shou... Okay, EVERYTHING SHE HAS is perfectly capable of killing me. Her first nonspell isn't that bad, but... Meh... First spell is nasty, second nonspell is annoying, second spell is REALLY nasty, third nonspell is also annoying, third spell... Evil. Just evil, I CANNOT DO THIS STUPID EVIL CARD!!!! Her final is also annoying as hell...
I'm ending this here because I don't really have anything to say about stage 6... Yet. In time maybe...
In short: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH UFO?! STUPID STUPID AAAAGH!!!!
And now I'm done.

Well, card capturing wise, MoF is harder than both EoSD and PCB. At least on Hard.
MoF was still the first Hard game i cleared though, and I can't get to stage 6 neither on PCB or EoSD. I just think they're easier because I can capture nearly all cards.
I also have played MoF Hard well over 300 400 times before finishing it, so maybe it was just because i tried so hard that I did it first.
Nitori mid-boss card is not her worst.. I have about 12/80 on it.
It's first boss card is one of the hardest imo.. my record is around 2/80.. where her second and third cards have around 20/80 capture rate

Why would I make fun of someone who can actually capture these horrific cards.....
Except for her first opener and Flash Flood, every single attack goes into the bullshit or clipdeath category.
-
it was just the way you said it :p
i also hate her non cards.. always end up hitting a bullet in that damn zig zag
-
I find her noncards to be hilariously easy. O_o
Everything else though...Ugh...
-
I always find a way to die to the zig zag or to the big balls she throws inside the zigzag =(

Yet you still somehow manage to enter stage 6 with 6 lives. I can't afford such luxury :V
-
For Nitori's first boss card, it's all about anticipating the waves and choosing a safespot before the entire screen gets flooded. You want to find the peak of a wave and get inside it, then stream the aimed bullets that Nitori fires. I mocked up this crappy image a while back for someone else who needed help with it, hopefully it gets the idea across.
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/untitled2-3.jpg?t=1252689080)
Maybe that didn't help, but my point is, you can't be scared of the waves. If your history is 2/80, then I'm assuming that what you're doing is staying away from the waves, then another wave sneaks up on you, or you're getting hit by Nitori's aimed bullets because you're too focused on the waves. You have to know where the safespot will form, take the first strike on the card, and dodge the waves before you -have- to dodge them, if that makes sense.
The same is somewhat true for her noncards. First one's easy enough, but it gets a bit tougher with the zigzags in the latter two. Before you dodge the zigzags, you have to check on the bullets, and pick a zigzag where the bullet won't reach you. If you graze the round bullets, you're likely doing it wrong. The correct path is one where you don't have to graze it.
-
Tried Nitori on practice.
Midboss card captured.
First card captured.
Second card captured.
Clipped her third nonspell.
ALMOST captured Extending Arm, but I ran into a laser JUST as it ended.
Serious attempts? BOMB BOMB BOMB
It's hard to capture anything under pressure :V
-
Satori clear: 6 lives.
Orin Clear: 5 lives.
Midboss Orin arrive: 1 life.
D=
I'm so ****in' close to a 1cc normal clear I can taste it, but somehow I always find a way to blow it. Graaaaaaaahh.
-
Just tried playing UFO. I was actually doing... Not that horribly, until I reached midboss Kogasa. Unfortunately, her "appear and kill everything on the top half of the screen" tactic worked, and put my attitude toward her (and everything else in the game) into basically... "I am going to kill you." No, seriously. That's actually how I felt about every single thing I encountered from that point on, I was staring at the screen with a look of cold malice for the rest of the game, and that was intensified when I kept dying on stage 3. The amazing thing though... I actually reached stage 5, even while in this state. (maybe because, for some reason, I was actually able to bomb <.<; )
-

On my first and only SA normal 1cc, I've entered stage 6 with 1 life but pulled through.
Tried Aya on practice. In two runs, I've captured both Momijis, 1 Saruta Cross, 1 Tengu Fall Wind, both Illusionary Dominances and both finals.
Real run? BOMB BOMB BOMB
Okay, I've done a bit of s4 practice.
No deaths up to Aya and entered with FULL POWER. HOLY CRAP.
And then I clip her final spell. First time I didn't cap that in practice.
Still, 1 death on stage 4 is good enough for a 1cc. Now to pull it off under pressure :V
Another edit:
Weird. The "yet to capture" cards have turned into "didn't fail yet"
In like 4-5 stage 3 practice runs, I've always captured Diluvial Mare, Flash Flood AND Extending Arm.
-
...Okay, seriously, what the hell? <.<; I'm starting to think that a NO DEATHS clear of SA Easy would be far less difficult than a 1cc of SA Normal >.< Dear god, what was ZUN thinking when he designed this game? Or UFO for that matter...?

Agreed, I can deal with her midboss card and Kappa's Flash Flood no problem (100% capture rate on the former), but I always bomb/die to Extending Arm, and her first card is hit-or-miss.
Speaking of MoF Hard rage, Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart has been the source of many ragequits.

It's just different for some people. I find EOSD easier on normal and hard than PCB.
-
MS Hard. Everything is going great until I somehow clip one of Alice's LOLEASY phases. 4 bombs gone.
Horrible clipdeath on Stage 4, get to Yuki and Mai 3/2.
DESPITE SHOTGUNNING YUKI, I SOMEHOW END UP KILLING MAI FIRST.
Clipdeaths all over the place. I didn't even get through Yuki.
Piece of crap.
-
IN rage. Deathbombs.
The activation frame is like 1/10 of a second, so you don't even hear the hit sound and it already turns into a deathbomb.
Means that I've wasted 3 bombs like 5 times.
And freaking Reisen. She's super easy, but for some unknown reason I clip her final, losing 2 bombs, then deathbombing 2 times on stage 6.
I probably shouldn't expect a 1cc when I enter stage 5 with 1 life. Keine and Marisa....I can't capture anything.

Stage 1&2 no deaths, then I enter stage 4 with only 4 lives.(lost 3 on Keine)

So why do I lose 3 lives on stage 3 and 4 on stage 4?

Stage 1&2 no deaths, then I enter stage 4 with only 4 lives.(lost 3 on Keine)
Stage 5 entered with 1 life.
If I can beat Tewi, I can clear stage 5 with 1 life lost.
So why do I lose 3 lives on stage 3 and 4 on stage 4?
You are exactly like me; when I first started playing, Wriggle and Mystia were easy; Then Keine raped me. Once I got past her, Marisa wasn't so bad, but Tewi and Reisen.......dear god, I hate those bunny-bitches.

Speaking of MoF Hard rage, Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart has been the source of many ragequits.
It's the reason I only reach stage 2, 1 on every 20 attempts =P
BOMB IT! There's absolutely no reason not to reach stage 3 almost every single time. If you fail it's because you fucked up (clipdeath etc). As long as you don't die before stage 4, it's very easy to reach 150 million points before stage 6.
All that capturing Autumn Sky can ever do is give you points, and allow you to reach stage 2 with 5.00 instead of 3.xx power, and you get a big point item before midboss Hina and another after her, so it's completely pointless.
Find the spellcards you have trouble with, and bomb them. You should know which ones to try capturing in the first three stages. Personnally, I often bombed Autumn Sky, everything Hina has except Lady Ohgane Fire (I capture non-spells though), everything Nitori has except her first boss spellcard (again capturing her non-spells), and that was enough to reach Stage 4 at 1.00 power most of the time, no deaths.
Seriously it's the last 3 stages you need to be good at for a 1cc, not the first 3, so give yourself a fair margin of error to at least reach them with a decent enough amount of lives.

I'm pretty sure that's happened to everyone at least once in their Touhou career. Just so happens that it occured me. Go go dying as the card was clearing.
Damn you Syou that would have been a first time cap of that card for me too >:(!
When this happen on your last life on the last card of an extra, it is even more rage, you know...
-
I guess there's an ancient secret for the correct use of MarisaB that I'm ignoring because I keep gameovering at Murasa.
-
Why is it that I always die twice on alice's second phase at the VERY beginning of it then perfect it after those two deaths? It's fairly obvious that I know how to do it but... >_>
-
Well, there goes my LLS Extra 1LC.
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/untitl41.png) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=279&u=12803292)
1 bomb for score, another on Mugetu's 2nd phase because it threw a nice wall at the start.
Also, video lag while recording, which I believe is stemming from a higher resolution.
-
So today I try a 1cc of UFO Normal. It failed. I went into Stage 4 with something like 5 or 6 lives. I didn't even get past Murmasa's 2nd nonspell. What a failure I am :(
-
...What the.
So in an EoSD run today, I attempted graze-whoring Sakuya's midboss nonspell, but ended up dying twice because I suck. Despite those deaths however, when I got to Sakuya (not but 30 seconds later), the rank was maxed. Really. Like, the nonspells were moving at maxrank speeds and Killing Doll reached down to the bottom of the screen and everything. The fact that the rank went up so fast seems kind of strange. It kind of makes me wonder if there are things other than dying/gaining lives that can affect rank, like maybe graze-count or capturing spellcards for instance.
Edit: Oh, and I also got about a millimeter of life away from my second Meister capture (in stage practice). I sort of want to get it again, if only so I don't feel bad about that underwhelming first time...
-
My PoFV woes continue: just blew 5 lives against Shikieiki twice in a row with Reimu.
Also, it wasn't until today that I realized you can bomb instantly at the expense of all your current gauge. *headdesk*, ⑨, watch more replays, etc.

Here is my point of nerd rage: UFO!!!
Every freaking bit of it! I never raged on the other games but stage 4 through 6 is pretty much nonstop raging :@
Easy should really be called Hard, and Normal should be Insane+++ Hardcore Mode.
I can't even get past stage 5 on normal ._. Damned lasers

I agree about Normal mode, but the majority of Easy mode is pretty trivial IMO... Or maybe that's just once you've been trying to do Normal for a while >.< Byakuren is tougher than the entire rest of the game on Easy actually I'd say. That's right, even Shou wasn't a problem... Then again, that might have been because I've been doing tougher versions of all the stage 1-5 spells, so the easy version is pathetic when using the same strategy XD ...Kogasa's final spell is one of the toughest in the game on Easy mode though <.<;
-
Getting all IN last words...
Oh god stardust reverie kills me.

UFO. Unzan is a terrible thing and should be shot. I think this is the first time I've had issues with a stage 3 b- oh, no, nevermind. Keine still counts in that category.

UFO's just odd. I really didn't expect as many issues as I have with stage 3. When I got to it, though, it was like I realized just how little space I had to move.
That and huge giant fists are freaking huge geez. '__' Makes me wonder if ZUN had IN in mind when he made UFO.

ZUN probably doesn't know either :V

I think there's a bug in my copy of UFO.
When I select Hard difficulty, I get Lunatic.
Or, at least, it freaking seems like it. Even Kogasa goes from being a walk in the park to a monster.

God damnit EoSD Hard..
Whenever I get to Stage 4 with 6 lives, I always die a lot on it and st 5... Whenever I die in stage 2 and 3, I do much better on 4 and 5....
Still haven't reached Remilia even once =(

EoSD was my first Hard 1cc.....which girl are you using? Some cards might be harder than others, especially on Patchouli.
But yeah, stage 4 is the hardest one IMO.
-
I've been trying UFO normal this entire day (didn't quit just kept continueing and left my laptop on). And I am just so freaking stuck on Byakuren. I just can't do it, either my stage goes perfect and I die to something I shouldn't. Or some other crap happens like being hit by one of those pink balls with their hitboxes the size of elephants.
You just simply can't do anything wrong, not a single thing. you have to get max lives and bombs and use them all or you won't make it.
Best try was about 6 seconds left till she dies, I feel like quitting like a big loser :(

I thought it was time i tried and moved on from homing shots... Reimu B kills bosses so much faster too!

Hint hint, Marisa A kills bosses even faster even if you don't hit nearly as often (and chews through them if you manage to stay in place). Stages become a bit trickier but since most of the hard parts are hard due to either nerve-wracking streaming or things you can't shoot away anyway, I find Marisa A to be very superior. Just watch out against Patchy as some of her cards tend to push Marisa away from under her. Sakuya on the other hand gives you a lot of time between attacks for you to absolutely DESTROY her pitiful lifebars.
-
I find MarisaA way too fast.....
-
I'll give a try. I never played Marisa in any game
-
Though MarisaA is more powerful, I'd suggest going with MarisaB for a 1cc purely because Patchouli's fight for MarisaA is insanely hard compared to MarisaB. Patchy is one of the hardest parts of the game, and you don't want her to murder you with another two difficult stages to go. MarisaB is still stronger than ReimuB though, I think. MarisaA is definitely the superior type for Extra, though. Sheer power is useful when most of the stage is a boss fight. :V

ReimuB's damage is actually second best in the game at far range and easily the best at close range. I've always liked ReimuB in EoSD the best personally, since her damage is quite good once you know how to use it (shotgunning in EoSD is actually really abuseable and easy to do with some practice), and her superior range makes her more reliable than MarisaA. Her Patchy battle is also fairly doable on hard, since Bury in Lake and Emerald Megalith don't really get bad until lunatic.
-
Bury in Lake seems rather rank dependant, as sometimes I can capture it and sometimes I have to bombspam.
Megalith isn't hard on Hard, but Green Storm.....sucks.
Am I the only one who has problems with Marisa's speed? :V
-
Not at all.
Just tried both Marisas and while they're awfully good for item collection, they're speed becomes a problem during parts where I have to be careful.
I game over'd twice on stage 4 with each Marisa because I'd always run into bullets.
On another note, just got another game over at Orin in SA with ReimuA.
Why does my progress always seems so slow compared to others...
-
Just fired up IN's spell practice and noticed that Hourai Jewel *hard* is stupid easy.
Suddenly I realize I should've 1cc'ed IN hard a long, long, long time ago, when I reached Hourai Jewel three times in a row with multiple lives and still failed. (after which I pretty much never played IN again)
-
I find it a bit too hard.
I've tried Astronomical Entombing on Lunatic and got 3/4 through before dying.
Hourai Jewel Hard, couldn't even pass the shield off mark.
EDIT:7th AE lunatic attempt, about 3 seconds left to capture.....
EDIT2: Captured on 17th attempt. Hourai Jewel Hard>Astronomical Entombing Lunatic.
-
PoFV... Gaaaah... I was just facing multiple of Komachi's spellcards AND LILY WHITE all at the same time. Seriously what... What the hell...? That's just cruel...
-
So I just tried recording a PC-98 game with Fraps (SoEW extra in case you're curious). Turns out that it only records WHILE WINDOWED.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
LLS Lunatic can piss off. EVERYTHING IS STREAMING THREE BULLETS. EVERYTHING. WHAT THE CRAP.

UFO's soundtrack.
It's like the only thing I can hear now on my MP3 player...
-
Okay. I have 2 red ufos. There is one red and one blue on screen.
*rushes on the red ufo*
*hits first bullet possible*
...
*respawns*
*starts moving again*
*hits blue ufo*
On stage 3.
On normal.
It's funny, when you're actually able to play, RAGE and embarrassing moments are not the same. When you suck at normal, people laugh at you either way.
-
I decided to read up on the story of CtC.
...and now I'm really depressed. Seriously, what a downer of a game. I'm glad it's not official. ;_;
-
Grr... why is it that I can 1cc Lunatic in most of the games but I can't even 1cc Normal in PoFV? <_< Just tried again now, one death to Sakuya and Komachi, three deaths to Shiki, two of which her had at half an orb of health remaining. Bah. Time to try continuespamming my way through UFO Lunatic again.
EDIT: ...What.
After quite a lot of failing at UFO Stage 5 Lunatic, I finally thought of a strategy to get me enough lives/bombs to clear the stage. Feeling quite pleased with myself. I then accidentally press 'give up and retry' rather than continue. I find myself back on Stage 1.

I probably epic failed so hard.
I finally beat Ran, hoping that I can face Yukari.
When I opened the Extra Stage menu, Phantasm wasn't there. That's when I remembered that I had to capture a certain amount of spell cards. Shit.
How many am I supposed to capture?

You need sixty total. Not that hard, honestly. Easy Modo will get most of that.
In other news, tHRtP is still bloody stupid. Is there any way at all to not die to Mima's green missile storm attack?

Wait, so they're not Ran-specific?
-
Nope. Just 60 spellcards in total all characters combined IIRC. (make sure they're unique though)
-
In other words, don't do easy modo with all 6 shottypes hoping to unlock phantasm :V
Practice mode captures count though.

...I seriously don't understand it... Sometimes, I see myself about to die, not dead yet, hit the bomb key, and it DOESN'T BOMB!!! Other times, I'll hit the key when I hear the death sound...

1 Death No Bomb UFO Stage 5 oh whyyyyyyy ;_;
Worst death ever; minuscule slowdown causing a slight disorientation.
-
Damn Youmu is so HARD.
I have to use 2 bombs for each of her spellcards! And her non spells are nasty too...
Maybe I'm not as close to 1cc PCB Hard as I thought, I always reach Youmu with 3 or 4 lives and barely manage to come out of her stage alive..

Same here.
Practice the art of unfocusbombing because the focus bomb is about as useful as MarisaC in MoF.
With totally screwing up Youmu(read: bombspam) and wasting 2 bombs on Stradivarius(gotta learn how to NOT activate it.....hell, I still don't know which sister is which and what does she play) I was able to reach Repository of Hirokawa....
Meh, I wish Youmu had more variety in her nonspells. She has maybe 1 different than others, but it's still a wall.
-
Have a free hint on Youmu: For her second non-spell, see what happens if you just stand still. :P

Pay attention to how I handle the attack in this video. Once you learn this, this attack becomes one of the easiest in the series, even to the point where you can do it with your eyes closed.
-
Stand still and slightly tap then :V
-
Yes I do it like that... sometimes i have to go through the gaps in the bullets, but i never have a lot of trouble with that nonspell...
If only I could consistently misdirect her midboss and boss non spells =(

Also, for the record: just tried donut's 100% failproof method on the second noncard and clipped a knife. :V
-
Perfect run of Murasa's stage. No deaths, captured her survival card, and left the stage with 6.25 lives and 6.66 bombs. I get excited that I might finally 1cc it, and wait in anticipation for stage 5 to load.
"th12.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I was practicing Byakuren's last Spellcard on Normal.
I almost captured it, but as she was dieing I got hit.

...Did you save the replay? Because I'm almost wondering how it's even POSSIBLE to die three times on that attack <.< Anyway, if you reach her with that many lives again, bombspam may be your best option.
EDIT: And now for some rage of my own... Eirin's Galaxy in a Pot. I can't do it. It's cursed... The vast majority of the time, one of those white bullets will be by itself, with a decent amount of space around it, and it will somehow be in the exact perfect position to precisely overlap with my hitbox. Other times, I'll see a bullet just outside my sprite, try to move, AND IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP TO KILL ME BEFORE IT REGISTERS THE MOVEMENT!!!! And other times, while trying to avoid the thick cloud of bullets, I'll end up on the circle of familiars, exactly where they're spawning the bullets that are the reason you need to stay inside the circle T_T Seriously, this card... GAAAAH!!!
-
Whomever said facing Yuka instead of Komachi in PoFV stage 8 was a good thing is a big fat liar. Also, Cirno vs. Shikieiki is amusing.
On a lighter note, SHIKIEIKI TELLS CIRNO SHE'S TOO STRONG.

I have just discovered that I am nothing without my joystick.

It's a matter of readjusting....but I still suck at the stage. On my best run, I've lost 2 lives on stage and 2 on Yukari.....she isn't that hard. Until the end, she is about 50% harder and 50% easier than Ran....and then it goes absolutely batshit.
-
Let's put it this way... I have a capture rate of zero for all of Youmu's cards on Hard mode, and a couple of them on Normal ._. Dear god... She's a nightmare >.< I mean... Seriously... WHAT THE HELL?!!! She's tougher than the entire game before her COMBINED. Actually, I think she may just be tougher than Yuyuko herself T_T ...She may very well be the toughest boss in the entire series ._. I mean... At least Shou has ONE attack that isn't utterly insane >.< And you can take out most of the rest with one bomb... Youmu on the other hand... All of her attacks are seriously absolute nightmares to me (I know, misdirect her first nonspell, blah blah blah... NOT WORKING!!!!) Her first card scares me... A lot... I'd say that it should be a final card in a game, but that leads me to imagining it with bomb immunity and ten times as much health, which makes me feel panic just thinking about it ._.
-
I think she may just be tougher than Yuyuko herself
But Yuyuko's attacks basically try to wall you all the time while Youmu's SLOW DOWN FOR YOU TO MOVE THROUGH :V
-
Eirin's Game of Life reminds me of Remilia's first nonspell... Just worse <.<; Gah, why can't I do this card...? Or Apollo 13, which I have a 0/21 capture rate on, only one of those being on anything other than the first wave ._. Or Omoikane's Brain... Or Earth/Galaxy in a Pot, or Dragon's Necklace, or... God I hate IN stage 6, both routes >.<
-
Goddamnit, Lunatic DDBB and BoWaP. I was so close to a DDBB capture. BoWaP on the other hand I died three times to, each of the deaths on a bullet I thought I was out of the way of. <_< Border of Graze and Clipdeath is more like it.
EDIT: I DIED AS SATORI EXPLODED GODDAMNIT
-
CtC likes to throw bullshitty deaths at me a lot. Seriously, I just run into things for no reason at all.

Sweet, captured Fujiyama Volcano in stage.
Stupid clips on both survival and Hourai Doll though....
-
BLOODY HELL
MS Hard. PERFECT though stage 4, until I get rammed by one of the spiral fairies from the bottom. Stupid mistake. (Also note I died with FIVE BOMBS in stock.) I then bomb literally on the last knife in the stage, because I ram it.
I begin Yuki and Mai, and CLIPDEATH HELL IS ON! SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL HOW DID I GET HIT
I even got Mai, and I STILL only cleared her with one life! OH WAIT, I died as she was CLEARING! MAKE THAT NO LIVES HA HA HA ISN'T IT FUNNY
...utter BS.
-
-_- Okay, I seriously have to say... WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS WRONG WITH UFO?!!!! I mean... No, just no. A no deaths clear of Easy should not be TEN TIMES EASIER than a 1cc of Normal!!! This game is utter BS, and I seriously cannot understand what ZUN could have been thinking when designing it!
-
That's somewhat of an unfair statement.
Yes, I suck at math, but that doesn't mean it's poorly designed.
If you want to play something poorly designed, go play SoEW extra.

In other news, I can't seem to capture Half Past 2 for the life of me. I dunno, I think it's harder than Rising World.

Most of it is that I think it's just ridiculous to have such a HUGE gap between difficulties <.<; Normal mode is just absolutely insane beyond belief, and I honestly think it's tougher than Hard mode of PCB and EoSD. It should not feel like you're playing somewhere between Hard and Lunatic when you're only playing Normal... I mean, since when did stage 2 & 3 bosses have their ENTIRE list of spell cards as actually being threatening?
-
I agree that UFO Normal (and SA for that matter) are harder than EoSD, PCB and MoF on Hard mode.
-
lolwut
I haven't 1cc'd any of those games on hard mode and I did UFO normal within two days of its release and SA normal within a few months of its release. :|

Try Hard Mode, then you'll see how Normal's difficulty fits quite well between Easy and Hard.
-
Yeah, the difficulties are actually pretty evened out. Comparing SA and UFO, I'd say it's about
A{4,8,16,24} to B{6,13,20,28}
they're so big because I didn't want to reduce to decimals
-
Bombing "reflex" is now horrendous because of all time times that I refused to bomb. Further, it would seem that I'm out of practice for S2. Either that, or I was relying too much on SanaeB frogs to clear the stage. Either way, 1cc ReimuA won't be happening today.
EDIT: 1DNB S5 :V
-
Installled UFO's English patch, started Stage 6 with SanaeB and... fuck.
No wonder she's declared a Nazi and Byakuren's called Youkai Jesus.
If her shot types wouldn't work so well, I wouldn't use her at all.

Ummm...that's SanaeA. SanaeB is for the most part quirky, much like Suwako. Other than the dialogue with Byakuren, she's not very hostile (and Byakuren even attacks first).

Hizuri Byakuren
Her HP bar was only as wide as the letters 'Hizu'. Then I died with 0 bombs or lives left on normal...... on her last spell >.<
Damnit I wanted to do it so badly! but on the spell before it I was thinking 'should I use a bomb now? nah! oh wait ! BOMB BOMB BOMB! *dies*' damnit! Coudl've done it, but such a stupid mistake blew my chances :(

Is it just me, or do most of Utsuho's cards have 50% more hp than they should? >.<
Not that I'm complaining or anything; after all, it's more time to enjoy the eye-rapingly delicious visuals!

Same here.
I can't capture her first 2 on Normal, period......they simply last too long.

Argh, Deep Mist Labyrinth Lunatic is driving me nuts. The screen just ends up so crowded... @_@
-
I love this thread, so hilarious.
Of, course, I can't wait till I'm RAGING in this thread...
Actually, I already am: FUCK Reisen. Damn bitch is the reason I'll never beat IN easy...
-
Reisen is the easiest Stage 5 Boss in the Easiest game, where Easy Mode is a joke compared to other Easy Modes. -_-
-
You just need to know how to beat her. I used to have trouble too until I learned the tricks. You need to take advantage of the fact that the bullets lose their hitboxes while they're faded (or invisible) Staying in one place is likely to get you killed incredibly quickly.
-

Keine is harder than Reisen IMO......much harder.
-
Hell, even Tewi's harder than Reisen.
-
-Goddammit China stop infecting me with clipdeath virus and just let me perfect you already. :<
-Vampire Illusion. What the fuck. Does anybody else tend to get screwed over like, 3/4 of the time that they face this card? I know it has a reputation, but the damn thing seems to wall me far more than any other spellcard in all of EoSD. More than Killing Doll, Megalith, Gensokyo, anything. What gives.
-Judging by my testing, If I want to do enough damage to get past Meister with only one death, I'll have to successfully dodge at least two to three waves. Of Scarlet Meister. Yeah I'm pretty much fucked. :V
-
Hell, even Tewi's harder than Reisen.

<.<; As I said, she's a LOT easier once you know how her cards work. They're right, Reisen is extremely easy, but you have to figure out how to deal with her cards.
-
Reisen is like stage 2 boss. That's the general opinion of Reisen.
Eh, haven't had much time to play touhou or any other shumps, but I still suck horribly at timing the flamethrower attack the first midboss in Samidare Extra has. =V
-
Reisen is the hardest boss in IN Normal in my opinion! IN Hard I'd have to give it to Marisa.
-
It's not like it matters if I clear Reisen, since I've tried Stage 6 in practice, and Eirin rapes me to death.
-
I just did a pseudo-scoring run (experimental, worked out nicely) on SA Easy, cleared it, and now I don't have access to the Extra Stage I worked so hard to unlock for some reason. What the fucking hell.
-
Oh yeah, that's a horrible horrible bug in SA. =|
-
Is there some easy fix?
-
Is there some easy fix?
Beat it on Normal Mode?
-
Gah, not again. >:(
-
Gah, not again. >:(
Just man up and do it.
At least you have a chance of beating it.
-
Maybe later. I'm all SA'd out for tonight. What a pain.
-
Is there some easy fix?
You could ask someone for a score.dat with extra unlocked.
Of course, you'll lose your high scores.
-
Come to think of it, I do have a different score.dat that Sapz kindly let me use. I can just use that for my Extra Stage attempts until I manage to beat Normal again. I didn't even think of using a different score.dat file. :P
-
Reisen is like most Extra bosses - very 'trick' oriented. Very difficult until you figure her out... after which it's far easier. And given she's only a stage 5 boss, she's actually fairly trivial once 'figured out', as her spellcards become non-issues (But her nonspells? Not always)
Oh, also. Laser supergrazing. Ichirin. "Easy" modo. Precision. Death. Etc.

PoFV didn't save my Mystia lunatic 1cc replay.

Playing SA Extra after UFO......and I've realized that SA extra stage is loleasy compared to UFO. There isn't a single tricky part, maybe the bubbles.....and that can be bombed.
Still takes me like 10 attempts to reach Nue with a decent life stock.
-
fucking hell...
Stage 3 UFO, I got clipped death by first brofist. what the fuck. Then it proceeds to fuck me over every single time. Rage fucking quit.
are the brofist's hitboxes exactly as advertised?

I'm pretty sure the entire thing is hitbox for the most part. The only exception I know of is her final, where you still don't have an absolute ton of extra room.

After quite a few attempts, I managed to capture Straw Doll Kamikaze. It was a really close thing, too, and I was only at around 5.00 power so it took quite a while. As a bonus I got another capture of Return Inanimateness. That just leaves 6 spell ca-

Any point in trying to beat Koishi with less than 2 deaths?
It's always either a random stupid clipdeath(mostly her noncards), then later on a Genetics clip and a death on Philosophy.....
-
I knew my computer was annoying, but this... What the hell? I press the up and left arrow keys, it goes UP AND RIGHT!!!!! That's not very helpful when there's a bullet in that direction...

Here's a tip. Quit just after ending the boss battle, but not the stage (i.e. you're still in conversation).
-
2 deaths on Youkai Polygraph. In 2 runs in a row.
Figured out Philosophy second phase, and messed up the third.
-
WHY THE HELL DO I PLAY STORY OF EASTERN WONDERLAND
Got to Marisa 5/4. Finished 0/2.
WHAT THE CRAP
-
Butterfly in the Buddhist Temple. I had one life left. It's my first time getting to the card. I'm waiting for the second red cycle to start, then -pew- I'm dead.
One of the butterflies moved backwards, and I was at the bottom of the screen. :'(
Yukari is definitely one of the more fun bosses though.
-
The UFO Normal -> Hard difficulty leap is retarded. It's almost four times as hard, since you have more bullets to dodge, plus more bullets to dodge WHILST GETTING UFOs.
-
Trying to beat IN Extra with Magic Team. Enough said.
-
Two runs of MS Extra. Died twice to Alice's first phase both times.
First time: 4 deaths, 4 bombs.
Second: 4 deaths, 3 bombs.

Pretty much. Every difficulty jump in UFO generally means less lives/bombs for harder danmaku. =V

UFO Ex Stage Portion.
let me describe it to you
First part is okay
Kogasa's first spellcard is LOL HITBOXES.. *bomb*
Kogasa's second spellcard is Augh these are going too fast *bomb/death*
Kogasa's third spellcard is WTF is this *stay alive briefly, but then deathbomb/death*
Second part is Wall Central~
and then Nue is great. (At least, what I can do without dying)
So.. Anyone have any advice? also if Ichirin and Unzan were the Ex Boss that would make the stage much more interesting
-
So.. Anyone have any advice?
Shot type?
And as a general rule of thumb, if you can't deal with Kogasa you can always grab a green UFO first and bomb each attack.
-
FFFFFFFFFFF
MS Hard, Yuka.
Stupid deaths on stage 2, Alice, and stage 4. Normally I'd have quitted on the stage 2 one, but I was in a "what the hell" mood.
Perfect Mai battle. FFFFFFFFFFFFF--
Game overed at Yumeko. 8 deaths...6 bombs. My first bomb was on the Stage 5 midboss.
MEMO: BOMB MOAR
-
Decided to continuespam my way through SA Easy Stage 5 since I kept feeling like I was getting better.
Game overed one run when Orin's final card had the tiniest sliver of health left.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
-
I got Dipper Creeping Close to three seconds. D= Also I really need to learn how to handle Murasa's second and third non-spells. I know they're static, but that doesn't change their difficulty if you don't know a good path.
EDIT: Grr...Dipper Creeping Close seems so graspable...but I'm still missing something. TASUKETE BAITY!!!! >o<
Tell me, without using the words "Phar" or "perfect run" or a Youtube link, describe to me thine method of capture. What I'm trying is to constantly be moving to the four corners as quickly as possible and move through the rings of bullets. However, at one point or another I'm always trapped up against a wall and cause a bunch of waves to be spawned near me. Those two instances of reaching 3 and 6 seconds had me miraculously escape from these situations, but I am baffled as to how to do this without resorting to hitbox prayer. Show me the spell card theory you spent five years studying, why don't you?
-
It's either the 4 corners method, or the move around at a constant rate method. Your choice. The constant rate method uses "wall jumping" (i.e. you move through the "walls" at certain intervals).
EDIT: Alternatively, you do the 4 corners method for the majority of the time, until ~10 seconds left, where you switch to the constant rate.
Fine, I'll make a sample replay.
What was originally going to be a 1 death no bomb UFO S5 turned to a 3 death no bomb run due to stupidity (or rather, "dumb luck") during the last SC.
-
Make that three PoFV lunatic 1cc's in a row which failed to save in last three days. Cirno was the latest.
This one in particular would have featured the most fantastic AI meltdown this side of using Aya and Medicine - stage 8, Yuka, first try, I ram two bullets within the first ten seconds and by the thirty-five seconds mark I'm already somewhat resigned, down to the last bleep due to another unbelievable ⑨ moment, while Yuka is at full health. Suddenly, SPAM2CHAIN, ACTIVATE and Yuka falls before the one minute mark. :V

Murasa: I cannot allow you to go any further...

The strategy in that video is actually pretty terrible. I currently find that the easiest way is to constantly position yourself in a way that you don't have move diagonally through any waves, so that you can easily slip through unfocused and get to the next corner before the bullets of a previous wave can block your path. The first few seconds of the card are the hardest really, as she positions herself randomly the first time. Once you get into the right pattern, it's really trivial to finish it up.

Actually, you had it going pretty nicely at the start. The most efficient method (which I didn't use; and ended up lucky) of initiating the "Four Corners Method" is to start somewhere in the center, wait for the first teleportation, and then quickly move to the corner furthest from Murasa before she teleports again.

The start was fine, but afterward was where the strategy failed. Anyway, here's a demo of how to make the survival card pretty much trivial (IMO, at least):

1cc Hard PCB attempt.
1 death on Chen. 2 deaths on Alice. 4 deaths on stage 4. 4 deaths on stage 5.
........and 1 death Yuyuko.
-
About to attempt to continuespam through UFO Lunatic for the third or fourth time. Raging pre-emptively because of how insane it is. :V
EDIT: I JUST DID THE RETRY THING AGAIN
GODDAMNIT ASJGGASKGDA
EDIT2: Back to Stage 5. I imagine this is where most of the rage will be going on.
-
Oh god, the night after, I realize what has happened. The last spell card left in UFO to capture (and therefore leaving me open to the obligation of capturing all Satori cards to make a perfect spell card clear) is Rainbow UFO, a challenging and easy to screw up spell card that is the eighth used by the extra boss in a stage that is not exactly fun (though I ADMIT Nue is more fun than I originally gave her credit for. She's a step back in the right direction for extra bosses).
...THIS IS GOING TO BE GENETICS OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS ALL OVER AGAIN! D: D: D:
Well, I guess I'll be playing UFO extra with Marisa A for a bit.
-
Played just for fun UFO Stage 6 on Normal. Aside from a death on the final non card, it started perfect.
And then I died twice on Flying Fantasia.
OMGWTFWTHHT?
-
I'm very frustrated with the fact I don't have enough time to play lately...
And whenever I do try to play I get stuck with silly 1st stage deaths...
I'm at the point where I could 1cc EoSD and PCB Hard anytime, but I just never get around to do it.
=(
-
BLOODY HELL
MS Hard, lost at Yumeko AGAIN, 8 deaths, 14 bombs. Once again, 4 bombs lost to a WHAT THE CRAP ARE YOU SERIOUS death on Alice. But even if I avoid that, Yumeko keeps killing me with bullets I don't even see. I think I bombed around 3 or 4 times on her...I GOT TO HER WITH 4 LIVES IN STOCK, GODDAMNIT!

*1 week of not playing Touhou*
YEAAAHH
Let's try MoF Normal (first timer)!
Shizuha and Minoriko: Lol easy.
Hina: What the... 2 bombs.
Nitori: OH MY GOD BOMB BOMB BOMB
*Enters Stage 4*
*Dies*
:(
*Continues*
Aya: She's not that hard...
*Game Over*
*Continues*
Sanae: SHI- BOMB *lol easy last spell*
*Game Over*
*10 Continues*
Kanako: Impossible.
...Okay, let's try SA this time.
*Passed through Stage 1-4*
Orin: Tada~
*Clipdeath*
GAME OVER >_<
Gosh darn it, MoF Normal is the worst.
-
Okay, no matter what I do, Repository of Hirokawa screws me over big time, three deaths if I don't bomb it is far from uncommon... Sumizome Perfect Blossom isn't quite as bad, and I did once capture, but that didn't get recorded because I hit restart at the end instead of letting it go to the title screen... GAAAH!!! I don't understand this...
And on a side note, I just realized that there's no chance of my capturing every card in the series on Easy... Why? Because then I'd have to deal with Miracle of Otensui, Kanako's second to last card... While Repository of Hirokawa seems beyond my ability, I don't even see how Miracle of Otensui is even remotely POSSIBLE...
-
Okay for repository, just get up in the middle of the screen so that the butterfly wave doesn't hit you, then slowly stream the aimed butterflies, then when she stops firing them, rush to the other side. Repeat etc.
-
Clipdeath, MoF Stage 4, etc.
-
I enter Murasa's fight with 5 lives. Long story short:
I clip everything she threw at me except for her second card, which I deathbombed, and her third non-card.
orz
-
Okay... Let's see... Reach Murasa with EIGHT LIVES, leave with four. Don't make it past Shou's third spell. But then it gets even MORE interesting. The next run... THE GAME FREAKING CHEATS!!! I'm not kidding, Ichirin's midboss card left a bullet at the very bottom of the screen, where I have NEVER seen it leave a bullet before. It also happened to be EXACTLY where I ended up heading to misdirect the brofists... Granted, I was failing in general during that run, and game overed on Ichirin's second boss spell, but that does NOT explain this...

And I didn't get around to doing anything of note today. :<

I was moving unfocused and by the time I actually SAW the bullet, I had no time to react .-. Though as I said, I was failing that run... So of course I wouldn't remember to deathbomb, I don't always do that on a GOOD run :V (and 90% of the time I DO remember, the game doesn't register it <.<; )
-
remember to deathbomb
That's a bad reflex.
You should just bomb.
-
remember to deathbomb
That's a bad reflex.
You should just bomb.
Well, I really meant "remember to bomb when I realize I'm about to die" in this particular case when I said "deathbomb" but I also have trouble bombing in general... Let's see, 90% of the time, I'll completely forget to bomb, half of the times I do successfully bomb are panic bombs that I then realize were unnecessary... Sometimes because the bullet I was scared of ALREADY PASSED THROUGH ME without hitting, so I'd have been dead already if it hadn't actually missed... Then there are some "Screw this" bombs on certain cards, and the incredibly rare bomb that I know was actually necessary... Most of those are the 1% of times I actually succeed at deathbombing and I hear the death sound =/ There are a HUGE number of 1cc's I've failed because I died with bombs in stock... The VAST majority of my deaths happened when I hadn't bombed at all .-.

I just lost 5 lives to stage 4 of MoF.

Midboss Opener: Okay

Parasol Star Memories: I can do th-*DEath. Then ragebomb*

Arr. Scarrrlet Meister be a scurvy dog of an attack, an' no mistake.

Anyway, I've beaten it numerous times getting hit once and clearing the rest. As far as I can see, I just need to survive three consecutive waves and I'm in the clear. I've survived two before... I think I have a general strategy down for the easiest way to clear it which kind of relies on you controlling, to a degree, where Remilia moves. Admittedly I've almost always been fighting it at a fairly low rank, but still. It honestly feels less difficult than something like, say, Vengeful Cat's Erratic Step. It's difficult but it plays out approximately the same each time and though it's dense and fast, you only have to really watch one wave at a time rather than trying to read a gigantic clusterfuck of circles from every direction. Difficult, but fair. I'm guessing its reputation is from the high/max rank version, which I don't think I've seen yet. A cap might not that much longer... most of my deaths are seemingly to do with me panicking and forgetting which direction I should be moving in.
Also, I tried a run of UFO Lunatic Stage 6 earlier. I have yet to capture any spell card on that level; I died on every one of her last four cards with the life bar at around a few pixels remaining. <_<
-
Scarlet Meister isn't affected by rank, neither is any of Remi's spell cards except Young Demon Lord.
And you can't control where Remi moves. It's all random. Good luck though...

Huh. Really? I swear she's followed me for basically the whole time in the last ten attempts or so. And ah about the rank, fair enough. Hmm. I'll go experiment with it some more, then.
EDIT: Okay yeah nevermind, I'm an idiot, it's random.

I swear that Thousand Needle Mountain is rank based too..... :V

"I feel like 1ccing UFO with MarisaA today."
*gets to Byakuren*
"Well this is going pretty well, I had some stupid mistakes from the previous stages, but whatever, I'll ju-"
*HIT BY OMEN IN PURPLE MIST*
"Wh...what the hell just happened? Gah, just keep goi-"
*HIT BY MAKAI BUTTERFLY*
"Oh jesus christ I have no spare lives left, this is awful ;_;"
*Serafie somehow makes it through the rest of the battle with no deaths or bombs*
"Oh, wow. Didn't expect that to happen...well, just Flying Fantastica left, let's kick some a-"
*HIT AT THE LAST SECOND*
"...fuck this. I'm just gonna continue and unlock this in Practice Mode."
*perfect Byakuren battle*
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"
That was MarisaA. Right after that, I tried the game with SanaeB.
The exact same thing happened.
Then again with ReimuA.
At that point I just ragequitted.

Parsee die die die DIE DIE
*bombspam*
The most annoying thing about her fight? The knowledge that Yuugi comes afterwards.
-
... My inability to beat Murasa just confounds me. Ok, I can understand failing her survival card... But dying not once, but TWICE on her first spell card? Seriously? And her survival card... God it's not hard by a long shot. But I just always crash myself into a bullet. WHY???
I should have known that my UFO playthroughs would be bad after I died to Nazrin Pendulum.
-
Hey Lily... if your danmaku is "accidental" and you "don't mean to hurt anyone", then what's with the homing attacks?
-
UFO is the most stressful game I have ever played.
And I've been playing video games for 20 years.
-
Argh dammit ow, Scarlet Meister/Gensokyo's blurry bullet trails have started making my eyes hurt. D: And I think I just realised that I've been doing Scarlet Meister in the wrong direction for the last 30-50 attempts.
EDIT: Hm. Seems I could theoretically clear Scarlet Meister just before the third wave kicks in if I'm at full power and stay under Remi pretty often. Innnteresting.
EDIT2: Okay, changed my mind, this is deceptively hard to the point of insanity. I don't know if I'd put it above Hourai Jewel, but it beats the shit out of VoWG. Around 70-80 failed attempts so far, including one where I sat there and took the aimed spam to the face on the third wave because I thought the card would run out of health before that happened.

Sweet Jesus Scarlet Meister is pissing me off. I'm past 100 attempts now... this is the only non-IN card that's taken me over 50 attempts. :V

Sapz, you do know that Scarlet Meister is considered the hardest card in the series by many, and that Hourai Jewel isn't even ON some top player's hardest cards list right?
-

Keep going~ Capturing Scarlet Meister is something like a rite of passage for super players.
God, when did we get up to rite of passages? >_>
And...yeah...I still haven't done anything. :V
-

Well yeah, that's true, but I'm confident that's in part because Hourai Jewel is mirco-memorizable. I didn't really bother with doing that when I was going for a capture and just treated it basically as a pure dodging card, which is why it took me so many attempts. As such I'm kind of biased against that card, I guess.
Keep going~ Capturing Scarlet Meister is something like a rite of passage for super players.

I don't intend to stop until I capture it. I can definitely do this... if I can survive two waves in a row, I can survive three... probably. :V

Flandre misses you, Donut.

Mountain of Faith? When I started playing, the biggest divide was "those who had captured VoWG" and "those who want to".
-
Failed Boundary of Humans and Youkai....at 1 second left.
EDIT: captured it, but died with FIVE bombs.....with ReimuB.
-
Gah. Three hours of attempts later, nothing's changed. I give up for today. Goddamn third wave...
-
MoF Extra. No idea how did I finish it on the same day as I've unlocked it, it's just stupid.
Clipdeath, offscreen tackled by a fairy, walls, etc.
-
MoF Lunatic, clearing stages for practice. Sloppy play throughout, used a couple of continues but got to VoWG earlier than I expected to, considering the last time I tried it back in february (!) I couldn't get past Aya no matter how much I tried. Plenty of resources as well since you gain a life from score on stage 6 after continuing.
Dear lord. Couldn't even deathbomb because I kept hitting amulets sideways while twitch-dodging a bit too far... trying again now but I don't see much hope.
-
I just remembered why I said "NEVER AGAIN" after I tried MoF Hard a while ago... I think Hina's spinning worked, I'm now dizzy @_@ Wait... How does that explain how dizzy I was BEFORE reaching her...? Dear god that game is insane... Barely escaped stage 1 intact... WITH BOMBSPAM! I was at zero power for Minoriko's final, thankfully it wasn't actually that bad... But oh dear god...
-
WTF UFO BYAKUREN!!! I swear that I've spent the better part of the night trying to freaking beat her with continue spam. Not even once have I gotten to her last spell. I mean WTF. I have so much anger right now, especially on her stupid first spell card which seems to be impossible because there's always a little droplet bullet waiting for me after I dodge those big purple ones. And that third non spell? God that's like auto bomb. Her third spell? God that's also an auto bomb, but I still sometimes die afterward because Byakuren isn't affected by bombs and there is like 0 invulnerability time after the bomb finishes. I can't even do her stupid fourth non spell because I always go stupid and die on a stupid line of bullets, and her stupid fourth spell always catches me with one of those big bubble bullets. God her only trivial spell is her fifth one. Stupid stupid Byakuren...
-
What difficulty? O_O?
-
What difficulty? O_O?
Probably Normal. If he was playing on Easy, her fifth spellcard would be her last (since Easy skips "St. Nikou's Air Scroll") and he wouldn't have said what he did.
My advice is to restart the game and practice like a mofo so you can get to Byakuren with six lives and just bruteforce it. That's what I did for my first 1cc. It sounds dumb but I ended up capturing Flying Fantastica having never seen the card before, so it must work somehow.
-
PoFV just failed to save a lunatic 1cc for the 4th time. Mystia, Marisa, Cirno and now Mystia again.
It's saving match mode losses and feels-like-easy-modo extra runs well enough, though. Which is even more infuriating.
-
I died on Yukari's 4th non-spell with 5 bombs in stock. Gosh, it's like the easiest thing ever and yet. And I messed up Spiriting Away as well.

I assume this is normal.
I don't know if you're doing this, but try to get at least 4 extra bombs during the stage part of stage 6.
During the 1st spellcard, dodge the glowy bullets until the small ones reach you, then bomb, it should clear the card.
1 bomb should be enough to bomb through the 3rd/4th non-spells.
The 3rd spellcard is not as hard as it seems, do more vertical movements than horizontal, or you can just bomb through it though.
The 4th spell, do not stay in front of Byakuren, stay slightly left at first, then bubble bullet comes, go right, repeat. (Did you know the white part of the bubble doesn't kill you?) Try to stay alive, watch in advance for those moving diagonally, you don't have to pay much attention to the bubble bullets since those are aimed. Instead, the mid-sized diagonal-moving ones are much more dangerous. Bomb if you're walled on the bottom.
Then try your best to go through the last two by pure dodging skills... can't bomb through them.
-
Lots and lots of EoSD failure.
Fuck Stage 4.
Fuck Sakuya.
Fuck Remilia.
Fuck bubble shots with different hitcircles from the later games.

What you said about SA having more memorizable parts I believe, but EoSD has

-
I love EoSD, it's maybe my second favourite touhou game.
But stage 4 and Sakuya are really turn downs.
I feel like it's been forever since i've first reached Remilia, and still haven't been able to get there with enough lives to kill her.
Always a stupid death on Meiling, always many stupid deaths on stage 4, or I decide to be cautious and bomb too much... Patchouli is hell..
Stage 5 is fine but Sakuya... god damnit, I can't capture a single card.
-
Sakuya is f-ing weird.
One time I clip her nonspells all the time on Hard, then I "capture" them all in one run on Lunatic....
And wtf is up with Misdirection? It's fucking impossible. The normal version, that is.
IT THROWS SOLID WALLS.

Try it starting from one side of the screen and slowly tapping your way to the other side. See what happens. :V
Also Meister, fail, rage, etc.
EDIT: Is it just me, or is the first wave usually the hardest one? Remilia usually seems to have moved nearer the top of the screen around the second/third waves.
EDIT2: 150 attempts...
EDIT3: Off topic but I just realised that with the retexture patch the title in the main menu reads 'Emboidment of Scarlet Devil'. :V

Sakuya's first 2 cards are "Learn the trick" cards.
honestly, her nonspell cards might be the hardest part about her (besides killing doll)
First one, don't stick to the bottom, start a little higher when you hear the shoot sound quickly move down to the bottom of the screen, then just tap and avoid the big bubbles
Second one move to the top left or right immediately after she shoots the fire, and then when time resumes move to the bottom middle .
-
Clipped Yorimasa Genzanmi 2 times before I've even reached the final phase.
Not to mention that my dog made me die with 2 bombs on the bubble nonspell.
-
I'm on Yuyuko, about to get that MarisaB 1cc I've been working on for a while. I'm on her second-to-last spell with 0 lives, 2 bombs.
Yuyuko's fan is up, so Marisa's Nondirectional Laser spell will take down practically all of Yuyuko's lifebar if I stand on top of her the whole time. That would leave me at Ressurection Butterfly with 1 bomb left- and I know I can capture Ressurection Butterfly.
I charge toward Yuyuko and press X.
Cherry hits 50,000. X cancels the border.
So the bomb doesn't activate.
I slam into Yuyuko. Game over.
NOOOOOOOOO I WAS KILLED BY A BORDER HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN

Same happened to me once. Except that it was on that bubble shitwall card and I've got border bonus just as I was about to cancel it. 5 more bubbles > 2 seconds invincibility.
EDIT: Ultimate rage - hit the keyboard after dying with full bombs, just to punch the X key and waste another bomb.
-
Huh. I now completely suck at UFO because I'm playing it as if I'm trying to get a high score in EoSD Stage 6. :V
-
I was about 3 seconds away from capturing Scarlet Meister Lunatic on like my 3rd time ever seeing it.
NOW I CAN'T SURVIVE THE FIRST WAVE.
-
I was playing UFO hard with Reimu-A, and I was kicking ass. I got to Byakren's final card with 3 lives and I was sure I'd 1cc the game. I fail... all 3 of my deaths was with bombs.
I SCREAMED SO LOUD MY NEIGHBORS HEARD IT.

Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed.
It was my first time trying it so I wasn't sure what to do, but oh god the bombing/deaths were terrible.
-
Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed.
It was my first time trying it so I wasn't sure what to do, but oh god the bombing/deaths were terrible.
2 ways to do it.
To start off, go up and shotgun her. Then go back down, stream it left/right, once you hear the "charge" go to the middle and up a bit to get the rest of the bullets off you, then quickly down to dodge the lasers and back up to shotgun her as it repeats all over.
It's a half assed way to clear it, but it works for me.
video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTi8dsw0AZk#t=2m14s)
The other way is a bit more "pro", which involves streaming it all the way so you don't have to do the move up and move down stunt(which isn't all that hard).
Also, you can tap left/right instead of going up to shotgun her.

I think I'll go with method 1, especially considering how delicious Patchouli's wood-type shotgun is. Thanks. (http://i25.tinypic.com/33tm98h.jpg)
-
Tried another run just to test stuff, and with proper streaming it takes 3 rounds, with the up down stunt only 2. With ReimuA full power, that is.
Stupid clipdeath, I'd so much love to no death her extra.
Her second nonspell.....it's too fast for focus yet too tight for nonfocus.
Clipper her first heart card for no reason. Clipped a phallus.(had a good shotgunning round, but only 2,5 power.....)
2 deaths on Genetics. Unfortunately, that's perfectly normal.
And then I capture BOTH of her final cards.
I've got to unlock Extra for Patchy Marisa though.....some cards are just asking for a shotgun....especially Embers of Love.
EDIT:
WHAT THE FLIPPIN PENIS

>:(UFO is just so damn frustrating! I've been trying for a capture of Ichirin's 2nd boss card for 20 tries now and i still haven't beaten it. Why is it that difficult? You have to follow a strict path and be fast while doing it. Maybe UFO isn't necessarily bullshit in itself. It just doesn't have any Stages 1,2,3 or 4. In their place, their is two additional stages 5 and two additional stages 6.
SA Lunatic is fucking easy compared to this. I want to get the hell past this stage of bullshit. I hate playing it. The entire stage revolves around a bullet-spam of another world that's almost impossible to beat without bombs or UFOs or just walling you off with a huge wave of arrowheads. And of course the evil spam at the end of the stage.
Makes reaching the spellcard with 4.00 power a challenge in itself. ZUN probably can't even beat this himself.
-
...What the heck? I go through PoFV as Yuka, no deaths before Shikieki. I get her down to her last little half orb of health without getting damaged... She then dodges and dodges and dodges AND KILLS ME!!! I was doing pretty freaking good too T_T Just when I thought I'd get a no deaths clear of PoFV Easy...
EDIT: What the...? Playing Extra mode... Dear god, it seems like Marisa CANNOT be beaten without dying >.< She just covered the ENTIRE screen with lasers, and it wasn't even during a spellcard ._.
-
DAMN IT, NOT AGAIN! I made it to Legendary Flying Saucer on Hard and game over'ed there. AGAIN! I swear it, UFO Hard is harder than MoF Lunatic.
-
>:(UFO is just so damn frustrating! I've been trying for a capture of Ichirin's 2nd boss card for 20 tries now and i still haven't beaten it. Why is it that difficult?
I would make a more original post except that this is pretty much exactly what's happening to me right now. :V Getting to that card usually at around 1.xx-2.xx power doesn't help much.
-
And that's why I don't play UFO :V

Yeah, its very frustrating indeed. At least i managed to get there with 3.xx power and i got it. Nice to have those spells captured. Now i don't have to play that stage again at that difficulty. Geez, UFO Lunatic is just so annoying. Not fun to play at all. I'll probably never 1CC that game. Not because i wouldn't be able to do it after growing my skills some more and doing a lot of practice but mainly because i hate UFO Lunatic. I just want to beat those cards and never touch it again.
-
The new touhou needs to be like the previous ones......
In PCB I can just set the starting lives to 5, start up Lunatic and have fun even though I am nowhere close to 1ccing it.
In UFO, even trying to beat Hard would be a waste of time. It's way too tedious to repeat stages when you mess up.
And Earth Light Ray>Shoot The Moon. Especially when I had to beat it with solo Marisa :V
-
Game over at Scarlet Meister.
Funny thing, i practiced stage 5 all afternoon until I could finish it without dying.
Real run, 2 deaths and 0 bombs left at the end.
Reached stage 6 2/0, died at Sakuya mid-boss non-spell, captured Eternal Meek (I have no idea how I always capture it.. it's like 12/12)
Died with 4 bombs at her opener GRRRRRRRRR
3 bombs later, I'm at Scarlet Meister... fucking shit that's harder than Scarlet Gensokyo. Game over very quickly
-
I really love it when I do almost perfectly for four stages in UFO, then someone comes into my room so I pause the game, then they talk to me for no reason and I go back to the game and accidentally hit reset. :V
EDIT: After trying for three days straight to 1cc UFO with MarisaA, ReimuA, or SanaeB (1cc'd with SanaeA a few hours after the game's release), I got frustrated and chose MarisaB so I could laugh at how bad she is.
I 1cc'd the game on my first try.
I don't even know if I should rage or not.

Byakuren's second to final card.

I don't know if it's somehow different on normal, but on lunatic this attack can be beaten just by standing in one spot. The attack is set up so that there's a quiet spot on the opposite side of where Byakuren is. I suppose it takes longer on normal and hard because on lunatic Byakuren zips around the screen so fast she's above you in no time, but it's just a test of patience.

YO YO LLS IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT
SOEW HAS THE WORST BOMB TIME EVER

Today I game over'd 5 times at Remilia while playing EoSD Hard.
Twice on Scarlet Gensokyo and twice on Scarlet Meister. Once on her opener >_>
Scarlet Gensokyo can be done with 2 bombs, it's MUCH easier than any other last boss last card I've ever faced on Hard (Hourai Jewel, Resurrection Butterfly, VoWG)
Too bad I always reached it 0/0

Okay, what. I just tried Sinkable Vortex Lunatic for the 20-30th time, and I had a sort of... 'zen moment'. I pulled off some of the most incredible dodges I've ever done... and I timed it out. Not captured it. Even though I was shooting the whole time with max power SanaeB. WHAT THE HELL. ;_;

EDIT2: Attempt 218, failed at 0 seconds left.
Just circle on Reimu's orbs for the last 3 seconds. It doesn't work for the last wave though, but it's usually easy to dodge if you go in the bottom-left corner.
Just circled the last 3 seconds :V

Dammit, I know from experience that ex-Keine's cards aren't too difficult. Now, why can I no longer consistantly capture either of her first two cards? Also, I hate Possessed by Phoenix more than any other card I've played against before.
-
Died on the final spellcard on Normal FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-----
I'll unlock Extra tomorrow, damnit.
Also, perfect sightread of Stage 4 riiiiiight up until the survival card. ZUN...you absolute BASTARD, didn't we have WORDS about this the LAST TIME YOU PULLED CRAP LIKE A STAGE 4 SURVIVAL CARD? WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER PEERLESS BS GOD, AND WE SURE AS HELL DON'T NEED ANOTHER PRINCESS TENKO.
DAMNIT.
Actually, Princess Tenko and the survival card are pretty easy. Even sped up to twice the speed.
Buuuuuuuut deaths galore.
-
GODDAMNIT SHOU WHY IS YOUR VAJIRA SO DIFFICULT AND YOUR STAGE SO LONG AND ANNOYING ARGHHH
I don't think I've ever reached Vajira with 4.00 power.
-
DAMMIT! I got Hourai Doll to about 5-10% health before dying. I got it to about 25% health before I clipped a bullet, death-bombed, then completely lost my rhythm and ended up dying. I was so close to beating Extra for the first time.
-
I deserve this. Really. When I saw Exteetc. Arm in Drayen's showcase video, I thought "WTF this looks much easier than Nitori's". So it's only fitting that it's on its way to being BoWaP level. I just HATE how random it is. I hate how even when the laser ends and thins out, it has the same hitbox as the rest of laser. I hate how long it takes to kill it. I HATE how Nitori's random boss movements decide whether this is doable or impossible. I HATE HATE HATE HATE how I have to deal with Marisa's hitbox! I've died tons of times in ways I know Reimu would never die. Laser hitboxes are fat, but they don't reach THAT far.
*sigh* Going on 15 attempts...
-
MARISAB SUCKS SO BADLY AUGH I DON'T EVEN
LOL I CAN'T KILL ENEMIES FAST ENOUGH TO GRAB UFO PIECE
LOL UFO ESCAPES BECAUSE NOTHING HITS IT AND HER SHOT SUCKS UNLESS YOU'RE LIKE IN THEIR FACE
LOL EVERY SPELL CARD THAT YOU CAN'T SHOTGUN IS RETARDEDLY LONG
LOL THIS BACKWARDS FIRING IS USELESS
LOL MY BOMB LASTS TWO SECONDS
LOL MY INVULNERABILITY TIME AFTER BOMB IS 0 SECONDS AND I DIE
LOL I SOMEHOW CLIPPED ST. NIKOU, KILLING MY 1CC
-
Oh...I should have known it'd be like this. Mercury Poison and Philosopher's Stone: The last two spell cards in the series. Both are nasties. Mercury Poison is just as, if not more uncomfortable than the original because the waves move faster. Philosopher's Stone is in a completely different league from the original because it lasts forever instead of 7 seconds. When will they fall~? Will Sapz pull a miracle and beat me out? Who knows?
*goes back to psych paper*
-
I just spent the last 9 hours trying to beat Kanako's last spellcard...........on easy.. :'(
I suck so much at touhou :V and that's why I have 6.5+ gigs of unofficial touhou doujins and 4koma's ;D
-
I got to Byakuren for the first time (on Easy) with 3-4 lives, and then proceeded to lose two of them on that one card with the sideways lasers because I wasn't paying attention to the aimed blue shots. I ended up losing everything on her "Shinki" spell card.
-
Score-run on PCB Normal.
Perfect game till Youmu's Hell Realm Sword.
Die.
Die on second non-card (wtf)
Die on third card.
Die on Endless Obsession (wtf)
Die on Lost Soul's Village (O.M.F.G. this is NORMAL)
Die on FLOWERY SOUL (I'm screaming with rage at this point)
Bomb Repository
Deathbomb Sumizome (off-screen bullet...)
Deep breath...
THANKFULLY capture Resurrection Butterfly.
New high score.
I have nothing to say. NOTHING.
-
Okay, seriously, FUCK VAJIRA OF PERFECT BUDDHISM WITH SANAEB. I am going to go through the whole of Lunatic up to Stage 5 again with ReimuB for the sole purpose of beating this card. Jesus Christ I didn't ever capture it after 50 attempts, I am sick of that far-too-long long stage.
EDIT: Okay on the other hand maybe I just suck today. Game over'd at, err, Nazrin's midboss card. <_<

FUCK EOSD BUBBLE BULLETS
So yeah I was playing EoSD Lunatic and
FUCK EOSD BUBBLE BULLETS
I got to Remilia like 2/3 or something
FUCK EOSD BUBBLE BULLETS
and I used all 3 of my continues
FUCK EOSD BUBBLE BULLETS
and wow I really hate those
FUCKING EOSD BUBBLE BULLETS
Also got the retexture pack and was pleased.

THEIR HITBOXES ARE WAY TOO FUCKING HUGE
-
Yeah, they certainly seem bigger than the later versions of it.
And here is how my second attempt at capturing QED went. Me and the spell died simultaneously. How annoying is that! I was so close to capturing that spell in just two serious attempts. :'(

The bubble bullets are annoying, but it's the GODDAMN METAL FATIGUE BULLETS RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

QED Capture Attempt Take 3: I am stupid and gets hit by one of the easy initial waves and then proceed to beat the rest of the card flawlessly.
...
FUCK!!!
-
I just did something remarkably stupid. I played tHRtP again.
I got to Mima 3/3 on Normal. Didn't even get half her health down.
-
Bell rings and I leave fifth period to my sixth period, sit down at my computer, finish the assignment, then open up Touhou Folder. Sub. Animism > Start Game > Hard
I make it all the way to Nuclear Loli... flawlessly capture a spellcard that tends to end my game, and overall start to feel good about this run. It gets to the last spellcard, and I'm fairly certain I'm going to beat hard for the first time in my life... HAY GESS WUT?! IZ 7TH PERIOD FAYGET, GTFO OUT MAI 'PUTER ROOM! *teacher pushes me out the door*
My disappointment was great. My later rage was greater.
-
It occurred to me today that, despite having beaten Flandre multiple times with MarisaA (once almost a perfect run!), half of them scoreruns, I have never beaten her with ReimuB, the other shottype I use in EoSD.
Apparently I am destined to forever fail at this because I am completely incapable of getting past Maze of Love with Reimu :V
-
Opposite here. All of my clears were ReimuB.....Marisa is too fast for me :V

UFO has only been out for about a month and a half now, but Shou has to hold some kind of god damned record for most clipdeaths during a single battle.
EVERY
SINGLE
SPELLCARD
"WHOOPSLOL, DIDN'T SEE THAT BULLET SINCE THEY'RE ALL SO SHINY YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE :V"
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
EDIT: "Hey, I've got a perfect Stage 6 run so far, I even captured Byakuren's bullshit last midspell, this is pretty aweso- *DIES SIX TIMES ON FLYING FANTASTICA*"
-
...So anyway, decided to attempt to do a perfect UFO Easy run. Just for the heck of it, I decided to also try to get a lot of score. Dreams of perfection go down the drain when I die stupidly to the green bullets on stage 4 that drop straight down, but I decide to continue trying to score. I get finished off by Byakuren's third nonspell, ending up with lower than my previous high score. Yay. (Previous score was also on a score run attempt, so I guess I shouldn't feel TOO bad about that...)
EDIT: Also, replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5002)

RRGAHRGHAGRHAGA FUCK YOU MARISAB

Wait until you see Lunatic. On a serious note, it's actually quite a good replay to use as a study. Practice does indeed make perfect (well, close enough to it).

ASDFRGN Nuclear Fusion beat MS Normal on his first try I HATE HIM SO MUCH

My thoughts about this last run of EoSD: What is this I don't even
Let's see, would have captured Flower Dream Vine if I hadn't panic bombed at the last split second at bullets that had just gone right over me, reach Patchouli with SEVEN LIVES, die to Rage Trilithon High Level to a bullet THAT I THOUGHT WAS OFF THE SCREEN as I move to the right, die somewhere else in that battle... Get through the first half of stage 5 intact. Die to midboss Sakuya either one or two times, forgot which. If it was once, I died somewhere on the second half, or twice to Sakuya's first boss nonspell instead of the once I remember. I clipped a bullet at the edge of a mini-wall, thinking I was clear... Die TWICE to first card, once to something I have no idea how it was there, then to one of the bubble bullets... Finished off by a knife to the face from the second nonspell...
...*sob* (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5012)

BoLaD FFFFFFFF
I swear, Yukari throws almost solid walls at times.
Tried Ran's frogger and failed it at the very last part where you get raped from 4 sides....that still makes 1 card uncaptured left in both Extra and Phantasm >.>
Screw them both. For now.
-
BoLaD FFFFFFFF
I swear, Yukari throws almost solid walls at times.
I don't safespot BoLaD, just pointing out that every wave has a blind spot(many of them, actually) where you can completely dodge it.
In other words, it isn't a mindless clusterfuck like Yorimasa Genzanmi or QED.
???
And since I have nothing but UFO lunatic left to do, and I'm going to contain this in a thread all its own, let me say in advance:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
GOD DAMN IT NAZRIN STAND STILL!
KOGASA WHY U DO THIS I LOVE YOU! ;_;
WALLS. WALLS. STAGE 3 CAN GO TO HELL
FFFFFFFFFFFFF MISSED STAGE 4 EXTEND FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
SYOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
WHAT OH GOD NO HOW DID I SCREW UP LFO I'M SO CLO-AUGH!
-
I don't get it either.
I've almost had it, but one of these nearly invisible butterflies decided to curve and kill me.
Then again, I've only tried 7 times which isn't much......but if I can capture QED(which I've pretty much lucked through on 2nd attempt). I can capture this too.
-
WTF WHY IS SHOU SO IMBA??? LASERS LASERS AND MORE LASERS??? THEN THE LASERS TURN INTO BRIGHT BALLS OF SHINING ENERGY THAT MAKE MY EYES GO FJDSLGHS:LHFDALHFDSLKFSDFSD
-
I was going for a SA Normal 1CC just now. Made it past Yuugi with no problems (Which is a first for me; usually my run starts falling apart about halfway through her fight.) and at midboss Orin mark II, I get hit.
I almost had a full stock of lives at the time.
And ragequit with 1 and 4/5 lives left at S5 midboss Orin.

OHGOD UTSUHO REALLY IS THE TOUHOU OF NUCLEAR POWER

Right into a GIANTDEATH fireball of doom :(

DANMAKU
CHIMERA
BULLETS
THAT ARE LASERS
WHAT THE FUCK
-
Finished SA stage 5 with 6 lives.
Game overed a few seconds away from capping Subterranean Sun.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
Today I learned that bombs (including specifically deathbombs) on Visionary Tuning WON'T FUCKING CLEAR BULLETS. Resulting in dying for real the moment the bomb stops.
I really never thought I'd have cause to say "Fuck you, Reisen".
-
I think EoSD extra doesn't want me to beat it with marisa A.
I just finished Cranberry trap. All bullets EXCEPT FOR ONE becomes point items, that 1 managed to kill me.
4 of a kind always seemed to have the copies in front of flan making it hard to hit her. (that kinda minor though)
Kagome walled me in.
RAGEEEE.

Oh hey, this is over 1000 posts. :V
