Subterranean Animism.

Extra.

God damn. How can people say this is easy!? I can barely manage to reach Koishi, so add on to that the fact that you get hardly any extra lives... just... ugh.

Point is pretty much trial and error, not like MoF when you have 5 lives when you make it up to Suwako. You can only have 3, by the end of her first spell card, which is bullshit.

Recently 1cced CtC, make it through her last spells- Pursuit, Transfer, Dispersion, Crystal... then I die at Visionary Miko. Goddamnit.

It isn't. The entire stage portion is like an extended QED and Sanae is the second hardest Extra mid-boss after Patchy. Koishi, meanwhile, is the only Touhou boss to ever make me throw my controller and pour a JD & Coke to calm down.

If you need help at Koishi, go and watch Yoslime's replay on Youtube. It helped me a lot.

Lunatic Scarlet Gensokyo. GOD DAMN.

I can capture the hard version without too much trouble but I don't think I've beaten the Lunatic version without using at least 3 bombs and a life yet. <_< If not for that, I would have my 1cc by now.

Nuclear Fusion · « **Reply #664 on:** July 05, 2009, 03:19:37 AM »

God damn it EoSD lunatic! Seriously! Everytime! There's at least one stupid death somewhere for no good reason that costs three bombs, and sometimes two.

Also, as I was clearing Killing Doll, a knife turned and stabbed me in the back. I was pissed.

Well, today I cleared it after 7 continues. SEVEN.

PoDD lunatic. Fuck.

In short, I cannot deal with either Kotohime or Mima.

Kotohime's everything is blah. Mima's EX Attacks keep boxing me.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #667 on:** July 05, 2009, 03:38:48 AM »

This run of PoDD lunatic I made it to Mima (stage 7 for Reimu) with two lives in stock and a third from points to come. I exited with none except for the one in points to come. This wouldn't even be so rageful if it weren't for the fact that I STILL REACHED YUMEMI, WITH THAT LIFE IN STOCK. Three lives against Yumemi may not have helped (she IS the final boss and therefore cheats) but damn it if it wouldn't have helped me have hope!

The worst part is that it's clear I'm getting better, but I'm not even sure HOW I'm getting better. I mean, I've learned how to dodge more attacks, sure, but that doesn't really explain how I went from counting reaching stage 5 a good run to regularly reaching Chiyuri.

_{Mystic friggin' Square.

I despise grazing in this game, because when I think "oh this bullet's hitbox is only this size if i stay around here i won't die" I SOMEHOW END UP DYING.
Take Yumeko's knives for example. I swear the hitbox is BIGGER THAN THE DAMNED PICTURE.
(that or i suck hurrr)

Then Shinki...
good god why the fuck is your background so distracting ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE PULLS OUT THE FUCKING CRISS CROSSING LASERS AND RED POINTY BULLETS AND THAT STUPID SHIT. HRRRRGH. I DIE AT LEAST THREE TIMES AT THAT PHASE BECAUSE I CANNOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SEE ANYTHING.

LHCling · « **Reply #669 on:** July 05, 2009, 10:26:46 AM »

Let's see... Today's MoF scorerun attempts have all been failures.

It would appear a large portion of errors (and / or clipdeaths) come from:
-Minoriko's First Spell Card
-Hina's Final Spell Card (remember that I'm at 2.80 Power due to scoring, so it takes longer to finish)
-Nitori's First (mid-boss), Third and Last Spell Cards
-Stage 4, excluding Aya.
-Sanae's opener; bombing it destroys your score. So does dying. Not sure which one's worse though.

How does one do Sanae's opener (not midboss by the way) consistently on Hard? I can do it ~85% of the time on Lunatic, so there must be something going on for Hard...

Krimmydoodle · « **Reply #670 on:** July 05, 2009, 12:35:50 PM »

I'm not too sure about super specific strategy on Sanae's opener on Hard, but I will agree that it's more difficult than its Lunatic counterpart. The reason for this is what I like to call the Hyperspeed Effect. Sanae's rate of fire is the same on both difficulties, but the speed of the bullets is significantly slower on Hard, because slower is supposedly easier. Because of this, bullets like to linger around longer and further clutter the screen. On Lunatic, the higher speed of the bullets means bullets aren't onscreen as long, and gaps between waves are farther apart, comparable to turning on a speed modifier on a rhythm game for those of you familiar with that genre. I'm sure this affects other attacks as well (Satori-Yukari's DBDB comes to mind).

I tried it a few times myself, and all I can say is to stay as high as possible so you can pass the waves while they're still small, but to definitely remain prepared to be walled in, in which case you'll want to drift down to the bottom and wait for the bullets to separate enough to squeeze through a gap. I'm sure Mr. Spell Theory already came up with everything in this post though.

Come on. Seriously, everybody thinks so.
As well as Source of Rains, Sanae's final, a bunch of others, etc.

Story of Eastern Wind has two Extra stages. One is basically SoEW's normal extra stage (Which is to say still damn hard), but with 5000% morre Yukkuri [EASY EYE SIGMA]. But it pales in difficulty compared to the other Extra Stage. It shows what happens when Rika's replacement, Cirno, decides to get her revenge afterall - by stealing Mima's wings and staff - and apparently a crapload of magic from almost every fearsome foe in Gensokyo, from Yukari to Reisen...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0od2z35Yw is the only video I could find of it. And it's not even a full battle. After this video stops, she has one more spellcard with bomb immunity - and then she revives with even more, HARDER spellcards, that are all bomb immune - including spinoffs of Border of Wave and Particle, Deflation World, Medicine's blinding clouds... I can't even beat the stage to tell you all the attacks that Cirno uses.

It's freaking ridiculous. Even though you get tonnes of lives during the stage (I usually reach her with 5-7) and she gives even more during the battle... argh.

Mystic Square Extra. Lost (again, hurf durf) at Alice's first purple laser phase.

5 deaths.

6 bombs.

MS deathbomb, go @#$^ yourself. OH WAIT YOU DON'T EXIST

LHCling · « **Reply #677 on:** July 07, 2009, 11:58:29 AM »

Attempted No-Bomb LLS Lunatic.

Bombed once on the pre-boss waves of Stage 4 (accidentally; reflexes kicked in), but made that up with a "WTF did I just do?" death on a pre-boss flower for Stage 6. Made it to Yuka's Final Phase... Game Over'd on the first wave.

Interesting to note that I died twice to Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 5), and twice to Yuka's opener (Stage 6). Died once, and only once to the Yuka's pre-boss "Rings of Death". Among other things.

I would've gotten Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 5) if it wasn't for the ridiculously small window of entrance to the start of it. I also would've only died once if I retreated back to the bottom.

Maybe its just the poor quality of the recording, but the music in that game sounds terrible.

Get to Youmu with three lives, three bombs, and an extra life in the works.

Alright, that should be pretty good. Yuyuko is easy, so I could clear with this.

Get to Hell God Sword with one life, three bombs.

Screw you, Youmu's opener.

No wonder Chiyuri ate 3 lives.

Despite the "Hah! Yeah RIGHT!" deaths on Kurumi and Elly, I still cleared LLS Normal with MarisaA (YUKA SPAAAAAAARK!!). Now if Mugetu would stop KILLING ME WITH BOMBS IN STOCK TWICE, I could get to Gengetu fairly simply. BUT SHE WON'T, WILL SHE?

KomeijiKoishi · « **Reply #683 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:56:05 PM »

Eirin's Last Spell on Normal. Timer was on zero, and I died.

(insert F-word here)

theshirn · « **Reply #684 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:03:41 AM »

This is less a RAGE moment and more a "no, seriously, what the HELL just happened" moment...

MS Normal, Marisa. Fine until Stage 5 kills me once, and then Yumeko kills me three? four? times. I magnetically attracted every knife she had, every laser she shot. Whatever.

I die again on stage 6 (lolwtf?), get through the circles right before Shinki. Shinki shows up, we exchange dialogue, the circle contracts around her -

- and at the moment she becomes active, I die. And game over, incidentally. No bullets were fired.

No, seriously, what the HELL just happened?

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #685 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:10:16 AM »

That's an unfortunate glitch. I'm not sure what causes it. I've heard rumors that being close to Shinki or shooting her before she starts shooting causes it though. Were you doing either?

theshirn · « **Reply #686 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:13:31 AM »

I don't usually take my finger off the fire button without a VERY good reason (see: Alice's reflector, Parsee's second card, etc.), so probably yes. Rather good to know, if a bit late. But I wasn't 1cc'ing that one anyway (AUGH CHEETO LASERS WHYYYY).

Nuclear Fusion · « **Reply #687 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:36:19 PM »

Stage 3 can die in hell fire.

Everything up to Maiden's Bonraku is fine. Screw it up too often, but it's fine.

It's that second part of the stage which is hell. It's almost all aimed at you in one way or another, but the combination of at you and around you kills me. And letting any of the power fairies live means death.

Also, Alice is easy... except Benevolent Orleans Dolls. **** you, Benevolent Orleans Dolls. You are so not static.

saiyoucho · « **Reply #688 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:46:31 PM »

How the HELL do you beat that evil damned Sanae in MoF without her completely raeping your entire stock of extralives?!

I'm freaking going insane on this shit. I don't have too much problems figuring out the other bosses patterns, I just need some more practice on them.

But hell I have no freaking idea how to deal with Sanae! I usually make it up there with like 4-5 lives or so atleast, but the best I've ever managed to survive with when I actually beat that evil devil in disguise is a measly 1 life left.

Anyone got any tips or replays showing how to deal with her evil stars of death? I'm playing on normal by the way.

I hate you Sanae.. ;___; I hate you so very much.

lmagus · « **Reply #689 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:53:58 PM »

er... use bombs?

i can get past her without losing a life.. i use bombs in two of her spellcards though :/
