"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.

... 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.

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.

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.

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

Mountain of Faith? When I started playing, the biggest divide was "those who had captured VoWG" and "those who want to".

MoF Extra. No idea how did I finish it on the same day as I've unlocked it, it's just stupid.

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...

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.

What you said about SA having more memorizable parts I believe, but EoSD has plenty enough to go with it.  Is this game just a turn-off for you in general?  Replays, I don't have enough to watch from you.
