Touhou RAGE Thread: Part 2

[Seian Verian]

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

[Generalguy]

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!?

[LHCling]

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.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

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.

[Slaves]

the Easy version of that card is as hard as fuck, honestly. i think Normal is WAYYYY easier.

[Captain Arepa]

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

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

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. >=|

[theshirn]

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.

[Seian Verian]

*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!!!

[LHCling]

UFO S6 NB Take 5.

I prefer to obtain Power from the normal enemies as opposed to Nue since I can't use 2 bombs to mass power.

[?q]

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.

[Captain Arepa]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matsuri]

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.

[Sean]

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.

In enters Captain Minamitsu MOTHERFUCKING MURASA, with her wonderful power to cause trainwrecks shipwrecks to reduce my life count to one. I guess I know which stage I'LL be having to practice until my eyes are bleeding.....

[Seian Verian]

This. Every time I fight her, this. Everything she has is capable of killing me, and the only card that doesn't count as flat-out INSANE is her first...

I was in the LEFT corner for her first wave
Plus at 1 Power finishing the spell quickly wasn't an option.

The worst thing about Murasa may be the slowdown her anchor spam spell brings to my computer.

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.

[Seian Verian]

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...

It frustrates me because it's usually Stage 5 where the trainwrecks start happening, Stage 4 tends to only be a brief trip and fall on my face.

[Seiryuu]

Completing Taking a challenge given to me, I DIED ON SUBTERRANEAN ROSE ON REIMUB.

IT WAS MY FIRST RUN ON REIMUB.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKK

[Seian Verian]

So, I just tried someone other than Marisa A. Namely, Sanae B... No, just no. I am never playing as her again! Seriously, why do people like her? .-. I almost think that I did my best Touhou playing EVER just by reaching Murasa as Sanae B, much less making it to her third card...

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.

Bombed Wriggle's midboss SC because I forgot what goes on.

[DgBarca]

Why UFO ? Why ? Why can't I 1cc you ? Why ? Why this loleasycard ? WHHHYYYYYYY (also, lollife)

[triangles]

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.
...
...
...
WHAT THE HELL CLICKITYCLICKCLICK of my nails on the keyboard pushing back when I'm not expecting it messing me up 

I don't even know how to take the damn things off, on that note.

[Matsuri]

Nononononononononono!



I almost captured what I think is the prettiest spell card in Touhou 'Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome -Bloom-' (Lunatic). I was so, so close ;;

[Bananamatic]

Why UFO ? Why ? Why can't I 1cc you ? Why ? Why this loleasycard ? WHHHYYYYYYY (also, lollife)

On the bright side, you didn't fail on the last spell. That sucks the most :V

[Sapz]

Huh. I had forgotten quite how full of evil clipdeaths and messed up hitboxes SoEW is.

[Seian Verian]

*headdesk* WHY SHOU?! WHY!? WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO THROW INSANE AMOUNTS OF STUPIDITY AT ME IN THE FORM OF LASERS?! WHY?! WHY THE FREAKING HELL DID I HAVE TO USE BOMBS ON EVERY ONE OF YOUR ATTACKS EXCEPT YOUR OPENER YET STILL DIED!? GRAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! JUST GO TO HELL! GO TO FREAKING HELL AND STAY THERE!!!! [/rant with too many caps]
