...what the hell is that monstrosity
[/quote

Looks like Yuyuko's Last Word in IN, just about to be captured within .01 seconds...

And then failed.

YOU ANSWERED WITHIN THE QUOTE!!! Yes! Now i don't have to be the only one i have ever seen do so!

EDIT: I do it again. Double fail! Reminds me of when i made that quote pyramid.

[Reddyne]

Suwako fight again. Best run yet. Captured her first couple cards and I didn't bomb on her non-cards which has been my crutch. *Random PC slowdown on Moriya's Iron Rings* DEAD. Fine! A practice run makes sense since I need more preparation on her other cards anyway. Suddenly, *Quarter-second slowdown during her Sanae-style non-card resulting in* DEAD.

And now, we are proud to present to you your entertainment for the evening: A young 'gentleman' cusses loud enough to be heard by the neighbors as he hefts a PC tower and old clunky monitor above his head simultaneously and hurtles them both out the window. I swear this thing knows when and how to piss me off. Defenestration is a great form of catharsis, however.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Clipped Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku before it timed out.
Clipped Night with Overly Bright Guest Stars right before it would be captured.

Both of these were No Focus.

12-6 is awesome. I don't understand the hate  :<
12-7 is a puzzle. By formulating a method, I was able to clear it without too much hassle. Still took just under 500 shots because I was an idiot in approaching this though.

[Sen]

Okay cool, SA Extra randomly decided to lock itself. I haven't even done anything in SA except Stage Practice and occasionaly Extra in literally months. It had Extra unlocked for literally every shottype except MarisaB. ;_;

[Rook]

thanks sa, I highly appreciate the random freezing and unfreezing making me walk into a bullet vs parsee

much appreciated

edit: it turns out that touhou is not like riding a bicycle

I don't know if this is relevant in this case, but I heard that SA extra will relock itself if you 1cc the game on easy at any point after it's unlocked.

Edit: Oh, wait, sorry. I somehow missed the part where you said you'd done nothing besides extra+practice recently. Probably ought to go to sleep or something... >.>

[mew77]

Sure it's like riding a bicycle

a sadistic bucking bicycle

[Zengeku]

12-6 is awesome. I don't understand the hate  :<

For me the problem is replays that glitches out! Not really the card itself.

[LHCling]

The replays do occasionally glitch out but they can successfully play on occasion. Either way, the buggy nature of 12-6 allows you to do some pretty crazy stuff. I quote:

[11:09]   <Baity>   hooray, 12-6 bug /can/ be averted
[11:10]   <Naut>   Uh yes
[11:10]   <Naut>   Just restart from the menu,
[11:10]   <Baity>   nope
[11:10]   <Baity>   not even
[11:10]   <Baity>   you can also bug up the spell card to make it about 3 times more difficult as well
[11:10]   <Baity>   i.e. bullets spawning from the middle, bottom, etc.
[11:11]   <Naut>   ....Awesome
[11:11]   <Baity>   or, make them disappear altogether
[11:12]   <Drake>   wat
[11:12]   <Naut>   taw

Probably my most favorite scene because of various bugs associated with it. I also managed to time it out once (successfully!), as well as having many attempts at said scene to see what exactly causes the ninja-deaths  :V
So, what exactly causes this phenomenon? Answer: 2 things actually.

• Spoiler:

  The bullets. Or what I would assume to be the bullets, just without... graphics. This type of death rarely ever occurs, if ever even in a normal attempt
  .
• Spoiler:

  Then, there's the time-based death; I have no idea what causes that. This is normally the one that would kill you at the same time each attempt, and can only be "removed" by playing another scene or glitching it out using a replay
  .

For a bug, it's pretty interesting  :V :V :V
On topic a bit more:
Seriously what.

[Formless God]

My method for 12-7 would be "try to not include any bullets in your photos" (take photos of Byaku when the scope shrinks to its smallest) >_>

That was my strategy too. Didn't wanna dodge LFO with knives in place of amulets.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Oni Sign "Blue Oni Red Oni" is making me rage. A LOT. I can get to Chen 1 Life 3 Bombs, I can't beat that card. FFFFFFUUUUUUU-.jpg

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

PoFV Hard, Lyrica.  Die to Siki at the usual spot - half an orb left.

I do think I've overshot RAEG somewhat.

[theshirn]

Scarlet Weather Rapture is dumb y/n

[LHCling]

SWR or DS? This is important.

Bomb it.  No, seriously.  It's one of the hardest cards in PCB Extra and it's not worth capturing (or ragerestarting on fifty billiyun times).

@12-7:  I don't see a significant difference between the gold s-words and the amulets as far as hitboxes go...
The size of the bullet isn't the problem so much as how they interlock.

[theshirn]

SWR or DS? This is important.

both

[Sen]

DS Scarlet Weather Rapture is absolutely hilarious, I love that card.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Bomb it.

Um, I bomb it freely. Whenever a bullet gets anywhere near me, I bomb. I also try to be right in Chen's face since I use my focus bomb. Oh, I play as Reimu B now, rather then A. Still hard playing without the Homing, but I can rip the last Sister Prismriver card to shreds with Reimu B's Focus Bomb... assuming I have 2 bombs and react quickly enough to get into the middle of them.

[Reddyne]

Gee, my saved replay of my MoF extra stage clear causes the game to crash. Well that's just swell.

Oh, then there's no problem.  ReimuB's bomb destroys Red/Blue Oni.

If you want to actually capture it, that depends on whether you're using a homing type or not.
ReimuA/SakuyA can capture it in finite time by streaming left near the bottom of the screen, and just has to worry about dodging around bullets.
The forward-firing types can capture it in two waves by streaming vertically; however, this probably isn't the kind of dodging you're used to so it's a little more difficult.

Concerto Grosso is a matter of bombing whenever you feel uncomfortable.  Even if you're not in the middle of the triangle, Duplex Barrier will do a lot of damage to the Prismrivers as they fly into and out of it; it's kind of funny to watch the lifebar jump at varying rates.  But it's another card that's too random and garbagey to be worth stressing over, so don't bother being perfectionistic with it.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Concerto Grosso or w/e the Hard version is, is easy to beat, I jsut use 2 Duplex Barriers on it and it's dead. The 1st is to get inside where the bullets spawn, the 2nd actually does all the damage(the 1st does nothing to them as they have I-Frames), killing them with ease.

I needed to ask bout Blue PillOni Red PillOni cause 3 bombs on one card so early in, and a life all ready lost before Chen, yeah, like that's gonna beat Extra real soon.

[ふねん1]

How are you trying to approach it (as in, when not using bombs)? Any vertical streaming involved?

[?q]

Three bombs is ridiculous; you should only need one.

You already know about how attacks before MoF have armor for the first few seconds, so don't bother bombing until you see yourself start to do damage with your regular shot.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Um, I stay directly beneath her, close enough that Duplex Barrier would hit her, and I then wait until I get murdered, trying to dodge but failing brutally cause I can't figure out what to do. I can't even capture Youmu's version of the card, a card that I class as "Just Bomb Spam it", let alone a harder version of it.

I've honestly only gotten past the card once, I stayed in the lower middle of the screen, and stright down from Chen, I try dodging and I can tell i won't get far as is, I bomb and start moving up to Bomb Spam her past the card, I needed to bomb again just before I got near her, then I get in her face, Bomb once again, but in her face, the card dies, she starts the next one and ends my Extra Stage attempt.

Almost sounds like you're not trying to stream it at all. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

Forget what u? said, you should need no bombs for this card. Start under Chen, but around where the rim of the big circle is (the one around Chen, that is). When the shots start coming to you, steadily move to the bottom, then left (don't get hit by the bubbles). When the second wave comes, stream right, taking care of the random bullets strewn about (you should be focusing more on these, really). Repeat for subsequent waves until the card ends.

That's how I like to handle it. I've seen people stream this card in other ways that work too. Watch some videos if you want a better idea of what to do, no shame in doing so.

Awww you changed your avatar...

The way I do this card is by going to the bottom right and then stream to the left. If I'm right, then first is the blue bullets and then the red ones. Once the red ones start going your way, stream back the right. That's how I do it. I think it's actually a rather easy card. Chen's next card is the one that always forces me to bomb.

[J.O.B]

I raged so hard when I died on suwako's last spellcard because that was the first time I got up to it.

[The Greatest Dog]

I seriously don't understand the Red Oni Blue Oni hate though... It seems like an easy card that I capture 90% of the time, whether I'm using Marisa A or Reimu B or whatnot.

Anyways. I cleared UFO Extra again, and I almost no deathed the Nue fight...

Until the last noncard...
And then the survival killed me twice...
And then Grudge Bow killed me twice more, leaving a fairly impressive clear completely worthless as I come out with no lives or bombs.
