experience and the dark forces of touhou tells that if u take a break from a game for some unknown reason u play it better...also try to add the super effect of sleepness and hunger.(they work too)

i started my game road with lunatic which was unbearable.....and through a lot of pain
after a lot of rage i decided to go with normal (OH i was suprised with myself i was really awesome)
then i went on hard > thinks got realy tough here i did a lot of runs untill i can own that youmu...
now i can tackle lunatic one on one with defaukt settings but still get owned a lot of times.

i wanted to tell u about default setts but it seems azinth covered me .You must really try with 3 lifes and see the difference.

The only spell cards that have bullets that come from underneath are Cranberry Trap and Royal Flare, and these cards are so incredibly stupid you should just bomb through them anyways. (Both of these are in the Extra stage if you're wondering)

Also, if you're gonna try for a 1cc on anything, don't be afraid to bomb. It is almost always a good idea to bomb, as they save you many many lives in the end. Dying would waste your bombs.

Now about the whether to do Lunatic or Hard. Some people say don't, others say whatever works for you, but none of these comments actually help address what difficulty might suit you the best. The answer? Both of them. If you want to get better, you should be pressuring yourself on stages and spell cards that are just within your grasp, stuff that puts pressure on you without being overkill. Continuously reading BS never makes you a better player, but reading stuff just beyond your grasp will. Take advantage of the earlier levels in Lunatic and the later levels in Hard (and if you're not good enough just focus on Hard, or maybe even Normal) to push yourself.

Personally, I found that for MoF, I captured every card in Normal (except 1 stupid card but not the point) before I went to Lunatic. For me, it was a perfect push in difficulty, so I went with it. Not everyone will do this skip though.

well I did a terrible 3 life 1 cc run on normal just to appease, I say terrible cuz I had heaps of stupid deaths. I think this was honestly cuz I was frustrated with some rl issues and. well, it leaked into my game and patchy killed me like 4 @%@#%ing times, god she's a bish lol (I just about quit the game at that point figuring I wouldn't be able to beat it). Anyway I barely beat the final boss cuz of a very very bad patchy battle. what's funny is that I practiced level 4 to DEATH before I started, so that I could memorize it (I did level 5 too), and it got to the point where I could clear it all, and steal all of patchy's spellcards with 0 or 1 deaths only. then when I do it for real, wtfpwnt.

I should practice the final boss too, I'm pretty bad at her, but I kinda am reluctant to for I don't know why.

Then I played a few times with Marissa A instead of reimu A (that's her name? I can never remember it).

Anyway, so my initial observation of her not even doing more boss damage is actually correct...prior to 40 power. For example if you have 30ish power and face the level 1 midboss, you will NOT defeat her as fast as you would with reimu. However, once you get past 70 power or so, you really start to notice the damage difference...as I'm sure all of you guys already have.

Anyway after getting used to reimu, I find marrisa A is very good at certain things, and very bad at others. my biggest gripe as I said is the complete lack of boss damage if you are in the wrong spot, and sometimes those bosses just float to the corners and it's hell to try and damage them like that. Another problem is that she's just too fast for me. I understand fast is good, but I got a motor disability which affects my hands, and makes me unable to write actually.. I can never quite tap a button as little as I want to, so I often go flying into my death with Marissa (that's why the 3rd boss was so hard for me before, I'd always fly more than I needed to and kill myself during some of her spellcards).

I found patchy isn't easier or harder with Marissa actually, she's still a brutal bish. the maid boss on the other hand is WAY harder for me. My "strategy" for her time stop spell cards is to fly from one side to the other, with Marissa I can't really damage her like that.

Her bomb really really sucks too >=P.

I can upload my bad patchy rape 1 cc 3 lives video if you guys like but those of you who watched my last ones are prob a bit sick of me playing so much in such a short period of time >=P.

I'm seriously hooked on this game though damn.

nintendonut888:
Yeah, don't skip to lunatic. You will be brutalized when you realize how huge a leap it is from anything else.

And trust me, going to another game won't decrease your skill in another. In fact, once you play long enough, Touhou will seem like one long game and you can move to any game interchangeably.
