Sapz: I think you mixed up ReimuA and ReimuB. The difficulty order is:

MarisaA>>ReimuB>>>>>MarisaB>ReimuA

But ReimuA is pretty bad, so yeah.

Edit: Whoops, fixed.

Sapz · « **Reply #871 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:57:33 AM »

Huh, really? I'll have to try that out tomorrow, then. To be honest I can't actually remember which cards ReimuA faces, I don't use that shot type very often. :V

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #872 on:** November 13, 2009, 02:01:14 AM »

Marisa B's are the easiest, what the hell are you talking aboot (and also Marisa A is on there twice). The only reason I can think of that people would possibly say Reimu A is easier than Marisa B is the lack of Emerald Megalith. Honestly people, it's not THAT hard of a card.

Sapz · « **Reply #873 on:** November 13, 2009, 02:06:57 AM »

I've never really understood why Emerald Megalith was considered one of the harder Patchy cards. It seems a lot easier than, say, anything with the fire bullets, or Sylphae Horn/High Level, Green Storm, or, err, actually, most of her cards. :V I haven't reached Patchy at max rank many times (if ever, I can't really remember), but unless it completely ramps up in difficulty by a ridiculous amount I don't really understand why it's thought of as very difficult.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #874 on:** November 13, 2009, 02:09:12 AM »

Actually, Emerald Megalith DOES become considerably harder at max rank than it is otherwise. It's just that it's not THAT much harder than the rest of the BS cards like Agni Radiance and Sylphae Horn High Level. Hell, I think it's easier than those since I've captured Emerald Megalith on max rank.

So having an english patch and actually knowing what stuff does makes SWR much much MUCH more playable! I finally beat it with Reisen (1 continue), almost entirely due to judicious abuse of 22C. Takes off close to half a lifebar if you get a direct hit.

Also, I FINALLY SMASHED THAT GODDAMN FLY! HA HA! Of course, there's at least one more, but that was just satisfying as hell.

Fun, fun, fun.

Komachi is much scarier than anyone gives her credit for. >_>

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #877 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:19:51 AM »

Just realized I never beat UFO extra with Marisa B (after doing it with everyone else). Beat it first try with no lives left.

I died twice on Undefined Darkness because I forgot how truly terrible Marisa B's bomb is and how your invincibility ends even before the bomb animation finishes.

Did it make the stage any easier? Or that still a huge pain, too?

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #879 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:30:26 AM »

The stage was actually a bit easier than it would be with Reimu A. The fact that I died to Guerilla Typhoon because the crappy bomb took out barely a third of the lifebar didn't make me happy though...

Komachi is absolutely terrifying, but I'd assume most people here play story mode, not match play or other people, so Shiki (or Reimu) seems more threatening due to the increase in the AI on the last stage.

That said, if I were to rate Komachi's terrifyingness in decent hands on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give her a 14.

Being a complete beginner, I must say completing PCB Easy 1cc is my accomplishment so far.

That reminds me. I haven't done this yet, have I. :V

Spoiler:

Silent Harmony · « **Reply #882 on:** November 13, 2009, 06:41:16 AM »

I know it's not much, but after bad luck, a flu, and then so much more bad luck that I felt like quiting, it's real nice having a Normal 1cc up to Patchouli with ReimuB, especially since I entered Stage 4 with 0/1.

Proceeded to be destroyed by her and Sakuya, sure, but progress is progress. :V

Edit for slight clarification. [/i]

Shiki's horrifying, too. I have four scenes left to clear in StB, and two of them are hers. Not looking forward to that one bit.

Yukari is a wuss by comparison. I did this in a fraction of the time it took me to beat 10-5. Is it just me, or is StB Stage 10 much harder than Extra?

Kojiremi · « **Reply #884 on:** November 13, 2009, 06:46:13 AM »

This is still my greatest accomplishment. I should try this on harder difficulties...I bet its much harder cause escape would be nigh impossible with more streams of bullets. I'll have to see hehe.

Edit:

AHAHHA Excellent! my greatest accomplishment just got even greater! FUCK YEAH! managed to pull it off in the same night i randomly thought to try it!.
Normal = 156 tries
Hard = 155 tries

WIN~ even by a one friggin try!

Helix ⑨ · « **Reply #885 on:** November 13, 2009, 11:57:27 AM »

IN extra beaten with all teams. First try with scarlet team lol >.< And I finally captured Hourai Doll, that just leaves imperishable shooting for all extra cards captured!

Formless God · « **Reply #886 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:44:43 PM »

... Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, 40 tries, first Last Word I've ever captured.

YEAAAAAH.

lumber_of_the_beast · « **Reply #887 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:07:01 PM »

And my computer died. I can't get at my high scores, and I don't know if I'll be able to recover them. Should I move on to IN and hope for the best, or just start over?

LHCling · « **Reply #888 on:** November 13, 2009, 03:10:24 PM »

No, what the hell?

I just captured "Parasol Star Memories" legitimately with MarisaB. In a normal run.

EDIT: :yawn:

Ai-chann · « **Reply #889 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:59:27 PM »

Nice, I did IN 1cc on Easy. I feel like I'm getting a feel for the game mechanics.

theshirn · « **Reply #890 on:** November 13, 2009, 06:37:02 PM »

So I got to Shinki for my first time ever on Lunatic...and I got to her 2/1.

Game overed during Devil's Ownage.

This is truly notable because...hey, Baity?

I captured Cheeto Lasers.

FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER.

I ran through at least four of them.

Jaimers · « **Reply #891 on:** November 13, 2009, 08:37:51 PM »

Well here you go.

PCB lunatic 1cc without using any bombs or breaking any borders on purpose.
Broke a few on accident though. Nothing to do about that.

Did it on my third attempt, wasn't terribly difficult seeing as PCB gives away free lives like candy on halloween.
Finished it with 2 extra lives to spare.

Also managed to perfect stage 5 while I was at it. :V
Almost caught Resurrection Butterfly as well.

Thinking about youtubing it up, but I'd rather have a better run to upload. $:-\$

Oh, StB. I couldn't watch the replays so I assumed PoFV.

I'll find out how terrible they are after I finish two more scenes (probably two of Kaguya's).

Zengeku · « **Reply #893 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:39:56 PM »

Spent some time in "Stage Practice" in Mystic Square. Perfected Stages 1,2,3 and 4 on Hard mode. I did set up states at the bosses though as those were what i actually wanted to practice.

Then i went to Yumeko. Max rank is murder. In the end i finally managed to pull of a 1-death run of her as well as a capture of her first, second and third phase. Died to laser knifing. She is fun enough i guess even though her difficulty is too much for Hard mode.

Shinki has some decent attacks although her final spell (the laser one, not the piss-easy attack at the end) is absolutely ridiculous bullshit. Its the opposite of EX Alice's final attack. It rapes me with an outrageously difficult onslaught. Ex Alice just rapes me with her background. It would sure help if i could see something...

I just timed out Ghost Ship's Harbor on Hard!

...But not because I was trying o.o;

I've done the same to the train on Hard, actually @_@

Marisa A + bad movement on Kogasa's part. If she keeps running to the opposite side from where you should be, it's not uncommon to hear the timer starting to go off before she goes down.

The train is actually really easy to survive on Hard unless you get nailed by an unseen bullet. You just have to know how to do it

Huh, I assumed she always randomly moved to be above you. I've never really watched her much though, now that I think about it.

And I know, I've got a 100% cap rate for the hard version :V

Nope. She generally stays around the center-ish, but if you luck is bad she'll go as far as to run into a corner ><
