I find MarisaA way too fast.....

lmagus · « **Reply #751 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:27:39 AM »

I'll give a try. I never played Marisa in any game

Sapz · « **Reply #752 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:35:48 AM »

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.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #754 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:52:49 AM »

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

lmagus · « **Reply #755 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:58:27 AM »

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)

Bananamatic · « **Reply #757 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:03:55 AM »

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.

Seian Verian · « **Reply #758 on:** September 13, 2009, 04:52:52 AM »

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...

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #759 on:** September 13, 2009, 07:16:09 AM »

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.

That's all

KomeijiKoishi · « **Reply #762 on:** September 13, 2009, 10:12:37 AM »

UFO's soundtrack.
It's like the only thing I can hear now on my MP3 player...

Gc · « **Reply #763 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:47:35 AM »

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.

RainfallYoshi · « **Reply #764 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:27:37 PM »

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. ;_;

Sapz · « **Reply #765 on:** September 13, 2009, 01:23:08 PM »

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.

Seiryuu · « **Reply #766 on:** September 13, 2009, 04:02:39 PM »

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?

Kanako Yasaka · « **Reply #769 on:** September 13, 2009, 05:09:10 PM »

Nope. Just 60 spellcards in total all characters combined IIRC. (make sure they're unique though)

Bananamatic · « **Reply #770 on:** September 13, 2009, 05:31:35 PM »

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... AND THEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS! This problem happens on EVERY one of the Windows games. (Well, except IN, for obvious reasons <.<; ) I don't understand it... Why does this keep happening?! Seriously... This is so stupid...

Using the vsync patch or not?

Using the vsync, but it happened before I started using it too. It just seems completely random whether it works or not ._.

1 Death No Bomb UFO Stage 5 oh whyyyyyyy ;_;

Worst death ever;

Spoiler:

lmagus · « **Reply #775 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:33:57 PM »

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.

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.
