IN hard 1cc. Sure, awful run throughout: Border Team, got destroyed by Keine, bombed twice on Reisen's second nonspell, bombed twice on Illusion Seeker, died at Salamander Shield, didn't capture Hourai Jewel which I said was easy on this difficulty......
.....but on the other hand, the last time I had played IN past stage 3 was in late february, I hardly ever bother with spell/stage practice, a lot of spellcards jumped to 1/4 in-game with BT (yeah, I don't like IN much. three other serious runs with solo Marisa which ended at Hourai Jewel and that's pretty much it for hard difficulty), had a fun stage six with not remembering a thing and ending up locked in a corner by the bunnies and still surviving, and despite last spells being something I find horribly anticlimatic, epic "last last spell" capture against Kaguya: did everything wrong, twitch-dodged my way through the least recommended paths with next to zero visibility, until I finally got walled.... a milisecond after capturing it. Only realized it was a capture when I saw the score bonus.
Now only SA's and UFO's "hard" remain before I jump into lunatic.... though I have the impression that some lunatics might be easier.
