Title: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: canobiecrazy on September 29, 2009, 03:50:33 AM
Simple question, what MoF character and shot type do you find easiest and use the most?

I ususally use Reimu C, whichever Marisa has Cold Inferno, and Marisa A.

I find Reimu C's large focused spread very useful.

Cold Inferno is great for locking up near the boss and it does constant damage.

Marisa C is useful because of the high power and the fact that there so flexible to use but sometimes I struggle when using this shot type.

But... but.... MarisaC is "whichever Marisa has Cold Inferno"

edit: I use only MarisaC, used ReimuA until I 1cc'ed hard but her pitiful damage doesn't hold up on lunatic.

I use Marisa C too, my strategies for one or two attacks rely on Cold Inferno (She's the one who has it XD)

EDIT: Looks like I was beaten to saying that she's the one with Cold Inferno XD

ReimuA.

Which is odd, because she's extremely weak, and I usually stay the hell away from homing types.

Also, on the rare occasion MarisaA or MarisaB with the vsync patch's bug fix.

ReimuA is ReimuHoming.

ReimuB all the way.  All the way.  A friend got to Stage 6 Lunatic by continuing with ReimuA and couldn't get through Kanako.  I sat down, tried around a dozen times, said "screw this", restarted (ignoring his "HEY!!"), and beat Kanako on my first continue with ReimuB.

ReimuA does...no...freakin'...damage.

ReimuC, usually, because it has good range. I sometimes use ReimuA, but since the damage is really low. The others I just use whenever I want to try out different characters ;o

There are people who seriously use Reimu C? o_O She's so useless it hurts. Next you're going to tell me someone thinks Marisa A has redeeming values.

As for me, Reimu B, the straight shot type. As always. I'm so boring. D:

Reimu B for life.
Maybe C when I feel like bombing everything ever.

ReimuB.

Anything else is just plain useless, glitched or has lock on familiars.

Reimu with needles. It NEVER fails. :V

Post by: Seian Verian on September 29, 2009, 05:11:39 AM

lock on familiars.

This is actually part of WHY I like Marisa C. Definitely helps with Kanako's second nonspell <.<; Can just start on one side of the screen and tap toward the other while your options take her out...

ReimuA, usually. Even though she's horribly weak, the homing helps me more than the extra power would, really. I use ReimuB sometimes as well, but my stage strategies are all based on ReimuA. Which I shouldn't be doing because it's habit-forming, but it's just MoF.
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: JoonK on September 29, 2009, 05:27:47 AM
ReimuB.

Sometimes I use ReimuC when I want to feel daring and shotgun spellcards, but I haven't gone nearly as far in game with C. If only the spread of her shots weren't so wide.

I could never get the hang of MarisaC, but I always did well with the Sakuya/Remi pair :/

ReimuA.

I find ReimuB and MarisaC completely game-breaking. MarisaB also to some extent but not as much (excusing the bug). They end Spell Cards too quickly. Where's the fun in that?

I just enjoy trying to outlast Spell Cards in MoF general.

I 1cc'd UFO Lunatic and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Where's my copy that I ordered half a year ago?

End spellcards too quickly? O_o HahaNO. A large number of spellcards in MoF are completely ARGH either way, pretty much requiring bombs if you aren't an absolutely incredible player, even on Normal mode <.<;
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: Zengeku on September 29, 2009, 08:49:56 AM
ReimuB i guess. There are spells that i want to get over with as fast as possible. Besides, ReimuA is just draggin' things out for being too weak.

This. Most of the games have a certifiably useless shot type, and Reimu C is MoF's.

In answer to the OP, Reimu B. She rapes Kanako sideways.

Post by: Tsym on September 29, 2009, 11:24:41 AM
I've played MoF like 5 times, but I'll switch off between ReimuA and ReimuB depending on whether I feel like dying 50 times on the Stage or dying 100 times on the spell cards.
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: lmagus on September 29, 2009, 01:02:54 PM
Since MoF was my first game, I developed a gameplay with ReimuA.

All my strategies are based on her homing shots, and whenever I try playing with Reimu B, it feels like a completely different game (much harder).

Reimu B is indeed better for bosses, but Reimu A makes stages trivial because her homing is so good.

I'm trying to run from the homing shots by beating EoSD and PCB with Reimu B.
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: skutieos on September 29, 2009, 03:49:04 PM
ReimuA is the easiest to use for me, but ReimuB isn't bad either. I have yet to 1cc the game with ReimuC though...

Sorry for the confusion, by Marisa C I meant Marisa A.

Yeah, I dont find it useless...
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: Esoterica on September 29, 2009, 10:33:10 PM
I don't think MarisaA's worthless either.  with all options hitting she does as much damage as MarisaB (no glitch), and you can space the options as you please.

Also, splash damage is love.
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: ?q on September 29, 2009, 10:36:01 PM
ReimuC is at least useful for shotgunning.
MarisA has basically no redeeming value, considering MarisaB (her high damage comparison) is weaker than ReimuB and spacing her options out doesn't really help anything IMO.

I use ReimuB or MarisaC if I want to win, and ReimuA if I feel like taking it ijji  :yukkuri:
The only downside to using ReimuA for the reasons BaityMS mentioned is that I'm neurotic about my spell card history, which ReimuA doesn't help :(
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: Esoterica on September 29, 2009, 11:12:33 PM
Hey, I said she does as much as MarisaB, not "MarisaA/B's damage is amazing", don't put words in my mouth :V

If you're going for damage, then indisputably ReimuB/MarisaC.  If you want a less focused type, then ReimuA's the best choice, but MarisaA's not outright terrible either.  ReimuC is utter garbage.

And no-bug MarisaB's just kind of there.
Title: Re: What MoF Character do you usually use?
Post by: Blumiere on September 30, 2009, 02:53:38 AM
ReimuB.

Although, I've been trying to get used to MarisaC for the heck of unlocking the Extra Stage. I tried out ReimuA but it takes a lot longer to kill bosses with her even though the stages themselves become 80% easier. Everyone else either sucks or is buggy (lolMarisaB)

Surprisingly, even though people say MoF is easier than most Touhou games, I can't unlock the Extra stage. On top of that, the only game that I've unlocked the extra stage for is Subterranean Animism, which is meant to be the hardest Touhou out.

I'm lame and take ReimuB for MoF.

But it is a damn easy game so really I could probaby get away with anyone.

For fun, I use Marisa A. I love the Gradius-style options, and it's fun to try out different setups of them. For serious runs, I use either Reimu B or Marisa C. I like to alternate between all of them, though. Sometimes using inferior characters is fun, since you get to see more of the spellcards instead of destroying each one in ten seconds.

MarisaB unfocused at 3 power will do so much damage, it'll end just about every spellcard before it can even get a chance to get a bullet near your hitbox.

If you're using the vsync patch there's a bug fix for it in there, though.
