Touhou ParseeRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE Thread Part 4

[Sapz]

I'm glad BoLaD and Shikigami Ran killed me.

Because if it hadn't it would have meant a perfect Phantasm run ruined by Yukari's first non-card.

[Sen]

Counter Clock is one of her easiest ones :V

I have most of it perfectly, it's just the red bullets after the second clock spinning. I know they're aimed so I should be able to dodge them but I can't ;_;

[Formless God]

Perfect UFO Stage 6 Lunatic stage portion (heck ... I even survived the first spam wave with a haxdodge AND a perfect deathbomb). Then I went into LFO with 3 lives and lost completely.
Tried Orin Lunatic afterwards ... and lost at Ghost Wheel.

All these happened after my parent dragged me out to shower me with her sermon.

Please burn.

[ふねん1]

MoF Stage 4 Normal, I finally got past "Illusionary Dominance" without dying or bombing, then I proceed to die just as Aya is going through her "death-phase".

WHYYYYYY?

[Arcengal]

MEILING ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HARD.
DAMMIT.
DAMMIT ALL TO HELL.
FLOWER DREAM VINE I MEAN PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

[Jaimers]

GODDAMNIT
I keep clipping the shit out of Alice's second to last phase.
I'm seriously considering switching shottypes because Mima isn't exactly the best for EXTREME micrododging.

1 death MS extra stage.
1 guess where I died.

AAGGAAGAHHGGGGAAHHHH

[ebarrett]

PoDD lunatic. Kana. Recording.

Yumemi was down to half a heart, no bombs, and gauge spent after an ultra when a random cross sneaked its way into my path and walled me while I dodged the boss summon's aimed cross spam. 

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Trying to get back into PoFV.

Just game overed on Komachi. Not Shikieiki, but Komachi. I used to be able to at least get to Shikieiki. Game over on Yuka for the ones that fight her instead of Komachi.

Or usually Aya or or before that.

Seriously, this game wouldn't be as much of a load of crap if I could actually get the last 3 extends, since I almost never get to 50,000,000. Maybe then I'd have a chance. But I pretty much get forced to die at least once per stage starting on stage 6.

Breaking news: everyone does.  :V

[Bananamatic]

Breaking news: everyone does.  :V

I've improved quite a lot over the month or two, but PoFV still rapes me like before :V

[ebarrett]

How did I manage to arrive at Yuki/Mai 3/2 and leave 1/1

HOW

[nintendonut888]

Breaking news: everyone does.  :V

And yet you call that game good.

[Sen]

And yet you call that game good.

Fun != Fair :V

[ebarrett]

And yet you call that game good.

I'm really tempted to step on your foot here, but I'll just quote Serafie and point out that "fun != fair".

[nintendonut888]

REVERSAL:

Fun =! fair, but unfair =/= fun. A Cave TLB is fun because they kick ass and are supposed to, but an AI deciding it doesn't want you to beat it until you die once is not fun.

[nintendonut888]

Shoot! If I hadn't stood right in front of that laser on Alice's sixth phase I would have beaten MS extra no death! D=

[theshirn]

Durrr Aya killed me three times durrrrr

durrr

durrrrr Mima killed me twice on s4 durrrrrrrrrrrr

It's worse when it makes you die three times =/ Stupid freaking Aya and Komachi...

[mew77]

ARGH!!

I'd be decent at UNL if I could just figure out how to block attacks.

Can someone please explain?

[Seian Verian]

Hold the arrow key that's pointing in the opposite direction from the enemy. Has a side effect of moving you away from your opponent though :V

[Formless God]

I'd be decent at UNL if I could just figure out how to block attacks after airteching :V

I suppose it's double-tapping any buttons and opposite direction button RIGHT after that. But no matter how fast I do I always eat a C into the face (even against Lunatic CPUs). Do I have to airtech away from the opponent ?

[mew77]

Now that i sort of figured out..but if that's the only way to block then what's wrong blocking?

And that technique only seems to work against bullets...I cannot block melee, I assume that's intentional though.

[Formless God]

Wrong blocking : the enemy hits you with a low attack when you do a standing guard / the enemy hits you with a high attack when you do a crouching guard.

And you're supposed to be able to block melee. Unless it's 3[A] / 6[A] ... or Typhoon weather.

[mew77]

All a remember is an AI suika pounding me to dust while I desperately held the block button in normal weather.

I guess it could have been 3A or 6A...

I think it was neutral A though...

[Sapz]

I just tried a random run of Phantasm. I perfected the stage section, captured all of the non-cards, and captured all of the spell cards. So it should be a perfect run, right?

There was, however, one small problem.

* Sapz swears at Yukari for five minutes or so

Border between captured and failed, much? <_< Seriously, Jesus effing Christ, how the hell did that happen?

I'm really tempted to call it a perfect run, but... grrrr. So close, but not quite.

[Arcengal]

How come your score is so low if you captured everything? Usually the first number ends up being a 4, unless you weren't going for cherry points.

I was pretty much ignoring everything that wasn't a bullet. :V I score pretty badly in general, though.

[ふねん1]

I'm beginning to really hate MoF's Aya battle. It's almost - no, forget "almost", it is sickening how luck based that fight is, even on Normal. One battle I can get a stupid death on her first or survival spells and perfect everything else, and the next three I'll die twice on her second spell and at least once on her second and third non-spells. Another example, during two of my runs today on her survival, I captured it without hugging either corner for the majority of the card (which I just recently decided to experiment with), while in every other attempt staying in the corner got me killed. Everything else in the stage is easy-peasy at this point, even Momiji's attack. Dammit Aya, you're already one of my favorite overall characters, why can't you just let me perfect you for once?

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Almost perfected Shou on Normal. Not the stage as I messed up badly there. It wasn't Vajra that got me as I finally managed to capture it, but getting walled by Absolute Justice.

[theshirn]

I wouldn't be anywhere near as pissed off at the fact that I can't get anywhere in EoSD if I could just see what hit me.  Because as far as I can tell, on the last run, I only got hit once.  So how did I game over before Patchy?
