/forefeit VoWG Lunatic >_>

It's out of my ability at this point. I can't read the waves fast enough.

I'm going to rage at something different now. Maybe LLS. 1st Hard Mode playthrough underway.

No you don't. For all my "I'm getting better at it" on Friday, I just got spattered by it another dozen times tonight before quitting disgustedly. I even tried timing it out, only to get lolwalled around 5 times in a row. And I still keep at it!

Don't give up!

Attempt No. 40 = bleeeh. Maybe I should switch to ReimuB.

I would've had a PERFECT BOSS RUN for MoF Stage 5 at Hard Mode. The only thing wrong was... Sanae's (not midboss) opening. Like really, things can't get any more BS than that.

EDIT: Stage 4 MoF. Aya = BS.

Yeah, so all my "I'm getting better at this" was apparently crap and luck. Kanako is walling me so badly I lose going into VoWG with as many as five or six lives. That's lose, as in "try to clear the card and still lose", not timing it out.

MoF = BS

In my opinion, this is a bit more accurate.

There's just so much about MoF I don't like.

Almost 80 tries now.

I went in with NINE LIVES and only got the timer down to 46.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON TODAY

There is no card in the entire world that I hate more than Rising World.

For some reason, I can capture Rising Star unfocused about 2 out of every 3 tries, but my stats on Rising World is 1/159.

That card seriously exploits every weakness I have as a bullet hell player, and my luck is so bad on that card it's fucking stupid.

There is no card I hate more than that one.

EDIT: Whoa got my difficulties confused.

Try doing this and then timing out the rest of the card without dying or bombing.

IN stage 1. This is THE MOST BORING STAGE EVER. Kill repetitive waves of enemies. Auto-collect. Kill enemies. Auto-collect. Once in a great while, a bullet might get thrown at you. Repeat for 3 minutes. SA's stage 1 might be a little broken, but at least it keeps my full attention. And infuriatingly, despite it being ridiculously easy, I still die to it constantly just like with every other stage 1 and have to repeat it over and over... orz.

Stage 1 is why I always dread 1cc runs. Not 4, 5, or 6. Stage 1 is far more horrifying than any of those.

Oh, and while I'm raging about IN, I was also wondering... how u dodge Brilliant Dragon Bullet....?

I figured out what's wrong with me and not being able to get VoWG Lunatic.

Oh man it isn't pretty >_>

Let's just say that my endurance / focus isn't the greatest...

Huh...for me, it's usually stage 2 and/or 3. Those always wreck good runs. Mostly Chen and Alice.

Prayer is good. I hate indistinct lasers. Oddly, though, I find Brilliant Dragon Bullet, even on Lunatic, simpler than Dragon's Necklace (Normal). That one WRECKED me when I was trying to capture random cards in Spell Practice.

*yawn* Until you play SoEW stage 1, you have nothing to complain about.

Kefit · « **Reply #256 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:44:38 AM »

Stage three is easily the worst in 1cc attempts. It's far enough in the game that I don't want to restart, yet it's early and ostensibly easy enough that I can't tolerate mistakes on it.

Really, almost all of my Lunatic 1cc's have hinged on how stage three went.

theshirn · « **Reply #257 on:** May 12, 2009, 02:01:37 AM »

Oddly, my Hard 1cc's tend to depend on how well Stage 5 goes. It would be nice if they'd depend on stage 4, though. The last shot I took at PCB, Youmu thrashed me, but the Prismrivers cost me a single bomb. And it was on Merlin's BS opener.

For me, my Hard 1ccs depended usually on Stage 4s, minus PCB. PCB's RAGE are stages 2-4. Each one of those stages could make me restart from doing horribly. >_>

Nah, SoEW stage 1 isn't all that bad... It's short, and at least gets you to move around the screen once in a while to collect power-ups, and it's got a nice head-bangin theme to keep you occupied. IN stage 1 simply has nothing worth noting. It's just complete monotony to me.

And the reason I said I dreaded stage 1 more than anything is that I have a really bad tendency to make stupid mistakes in stage 1. Like really bad, to the point where I can spend 45 minutes on stage 1 alone, restarting over and over until I finally get a run going. Oddly enough, once I do, I can usually get fairly far, and am not bothered much by stages 2/3 (with the exception of PCB. CHEEEEEN!). If I'm gonna fail, I'd like it to be to something actually difficult, like stage 3+. Dying repeatedly at stage 1 is just infuriating.

To me, EoSD stage 1 and 2 are always a chore. ESPECIALLY stage 1, it's so boring. >_>

And I always die on Cirno, always. No exceptions. Her first nonspell is just too much.

stargroup · « **Reply #261 on:** May 12, 2009, 05:03:37 AM »

Stage 1's are always boring. Except MoF lunatic. The nonspells are actually enough to keep me awake.

Also, yeah, I got super-lucky and almost caught Rising World on a practice stage run. Still hate the card with a passion though.

Just swing wide and bypass the shotgun.

EDIT: My EoSD Normal 1cc attempt was recently thwarted by three things:
1) It was nearly impossible to determine any shots fired at me because of my shots being opaque rather than transparent.
2) I can't deathbomb in EoSD for the life of me.
3) PS: My computer apparently can't handle EoSD at full speed. Ever. Even in this run, with all the relevant options turned off (or on depending on how the option went), Stage 1 still hovered aroun 48-55 FPS, and varied throughout the run.

I'm on a school computer right now. It could easily run SA lunatic on max settings. I can't because it's against school rules to play games and there's only a couple places where the teachers are cool enough to allow it. I did one such thing earlier, showing off to a friend. It was awesome.

Meanwhile at home my computer is sluggish and dying.

Seriously, why the hell are these computers here at school so damn good if they're simply going to waste them? They don't even need XP for the kind of crap they use them for. >_<

The school computers aren't necessarily good, your home computer just absolutely sucks.

Well, that, and there's barely anything on school computers that aren't on dedicated servers or packaged with the OS.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #267 on:** May 12, 2009, 11:35:44 PM »

Still, it almost makes me want to see if it's possible to buy these computers from them.

Kefit · « **Reply #268 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:45:39 AM »

I don't know of any way to buy high school computers, but universities often sell their old computer equipment at school run outlet stores. So if you live near a big university you can see if such a store exists near you.

Yep, that first nonspell is way too overpowered.
