Already had numerous close calls, died on the stage 1 boss, and I have no idea how to get past the stage 3 midboss spell card. My graze meter is already 800 and something.. christ.

Stage 3 Midboss card is the same everytime, at least the first wave. The second one is the same, but she can move to two different positions. Use ReimuA, because she can kill the midboss card after the first wave at at least 3 power. So just learn the first wave, and you should be able to capture it 99% of the time. A tip would be to not stay exactly at the bottom. And I have 1.5k graze by that time. =3

Uh, the second step will. It's the third step that won't. But don't sit at the bottom for obvious reasons. Stay on the Border of the second and third steps.
I'll watch the replay later.

In any other game, a one bomb would get you through a card and some, unless the boss had invicibilty. In this game you can use two bombs and the card will be nowhere near over(Nuclear Fusion, I'm looking at you).btw, using marisa A, how many bombs do I need to plant on Utsuho's cards before they die?

Utsuho has the most health of all Touhou stage 6 windows games. For Nuclear Fission, it is better to try to shoot Utsuho as long as you can before releasing a bomb. If i remember correctly, three bombs (reimu A) is still not enough to take down that spell if released consecutively.

Knockout in Three Steps is easiest this way, I find:
1. Move to the end of the second step [the spell card ring marks it]
2. Once step three starts, move backwards with its formation. Since bullets in step three won't spawn on you, bam! Free area at the bottom
3. Repeat

Wow, I didn't expect so many replies while I was asleep ^^ I'm not used to people being helpful on the internet... ;D
I actually made another replay last night around an hour or two after my last post, but never bothered to upload it, so here it is:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3441
I'm kinda commenting on it while I'm watching the replay now, sorry if it gets long.
Only got hit once by Yuugi, which makes a change, although there was a couple of close calls (Swirly, and KO when the second row spawned come to mind), but I find that the majority of my deaths are coming from the lasers and the fairies.
Didn't find stage 4 all that bad up till the boss, managed 2 deathbombs that should have been avoided and possibly that first normal bomb when I got cornered near the end of the cats attack. Shouldn't have died on Recollection "Terrible Souvenir" but I sneezed and thought that I had nudged my way free >_<. By the way, what game are her ReimuA recollections from? I know 3 spell cards from the entire list on touhou.wikia... that sucks
First butterfly one was horrible, had no idea what was going on and I bombed too much. Flying Insects Nest, however, looking back at it I really think that I could have captured that first time around if I didnt panic. Border of wave and particle on the other hand... *cries*
I have no idea how I managed to time out the first cat attack on stage 5, but I didn't know that doing that would stop me having to do its second attack and cats walk as well :S
The wierd "eye" shaped bullets afterwards though, I shouldn't have died. I know theres a tiny space of time for deathbombing, but I swear I bombed before I hit that bullet >_<. Then major fail on the second wave, didn't think the bullets would spread out that far :P
I'll watch the replays Heartbeam posted, give it another few trys before I re edit this post (*previews* my god this is long already).
EDIT: It's wierd... After watching that stage 3 pacifist run, I get through the stage part no problems just by copying your streaming method. But when I tried to do that on the bosses attacks in the main fight, I lost 3 lives :(
And I can't actually do Storm on Mount Ooe using any focus at all, I can only barely scrape through using unfocused's speed.
--- Quote from: Heartbeam ---If you ask for one I'll try to make it pretty with pictures and with a new run.

Oh pretty with pictures and a new run if you have the spare time please :)
hyorinryu:
I asked this on my thread, does anyone have Utsuho's practice unlocked for Marisa A. Many times I've entered her stage with six not makng it past Giga Flare.
