You might want to put a spoiler tag on the card names, y'know.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #481 on:** August 18, 2010, 12:57:18 AM »

At what point does it start being okay to stop protecting the ears of people who have likely already had the name of the extra boss spoiled anyway? A week?

ebarrett · « **Reply #482 on:** August 18, 2010, 01:00:52 AM »

At what point do people who 1. don't want to be spoiled, and 2. do not want to have a pirated copy of the game, have access to it?

Besides if his attitude was "who cares about spoilers" he wouldn't have referred to "the boss".

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #483 on:** August 18, 2010, 01:09:33 AM »

I'm one to respect spoilers, but come on. If there were a new character there would be people gushing/hazing the new character. Merely the boss theme "Magus Night" is spoiling who the boss is. Past the first 72 hours I don't really see a point in keeping spoilers in a community like this. :/

Merely the boss theme
Spoiler:
"Magus Night"
is spoiling who the boss is.

I actually didn't even know what the theme was, seeing as the only thing that comes remotely close to that is "this" screenshot. To add, all I really know about the Extra stage is TEST SLAVE, though there's an awful lot of evidence / guesswork leading me to think that the boss is in fact

Spoiler:

.

Pass 72 hours and... how many people (with note that this is the Western Fanbase we're talking about) who don't pirate the games would have a copy in their hands by now? I'd probably say 0, people traveling to Japan not counting for reasons that should be more or less obvious. 72 hours, while I know you're doing this in goodwill, is simply, to be put quite frankly, insignificant; it's much better to drop the whole spoiler deal as soon as the game is available for purchase outside of Comiket; which is also when royalflare adds the scoreboard onto their site.

On the side, my past 5 runs or so of UFO Lunatic have featured me failing Murasa's Survival Spell Card each and every single time.

Tsk, last spell card, final phase of extra. Figures I would make a stupid dodge at the point that is more like a hardcore dodge spell than anything else in the game.

EDIT:
Does this game seriously only give you four lives to beat it? :/

ふねん1 · « **Reply #488 on:** August 18, 2010, 09:41:19 PM »

I just had my best run at GFW Lunatic, 2 deaths over the first two stages (A-1).

Game over on Stage 3 Boss's second Spellcard.

Why is this game suddenly so fucking impossible?

MTSranger · « **Reply #489 on:** August 19, 2010, 04:05:57 AM »

Damn it, so freaking close. If I didn't die to that stupid EoSD bubble...
Or, alternatively, if I didn't die to Rumia! WTF

yoshicookiezeus · « **Reply #490 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:09:21 PM »

Played Mystic Square for the first time today (on Normal mode), and things were going relatively well up until stage 4. Entered the Yuki/Mai boss battle with five lives, and proceeded to lose them all, mostly to the tracking laser in the second attack.

Also, Devil's Recitation with red bullet streams on a red background is painful.

(by the way, how do I get Anex86 to display Japanese characters instead of random alphanumerics?)

LHCling · « **Reply #491 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:18:28 PM »

Config -> Font -> (browse option) -> the file attached

yoshicookiezeus · « **Reply #492 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:24:57 PM »

That still doesn't seem to have worked... Do I need to press anything to apply the changes? The config window doesn't seem to have any "OK" or "Apply" button.

LHCling · « **Reply #493 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:47:16 PM »

Hm, strange. There's no "apply" button or anything of the sort; closing the config window automatically saves your settings.

After selecting the font, you should be getting something like this:

which would be showing that the bitmap has been loaded properly (the preview displayed there is the top-left corner of the bitmap itself).

If the font is loading (like the above) but not displaying in-game properly, then I wouldn't know what's causing it to go all jibberish.

yoshicookiezeus · « **Reply #494 on:** August 19, 2010, 02:54:38 PM »

Hmm... The font doesn't even seem to be loading when I select it; the file name field is still empty, and the preview window doesn't change.

...I wouldn't happen to need to run the emulator in compatibility mode (I'm using Vista) or Japanese locale or something like that, would I?

EDIT: This should probably be in the tech support forums instead, shouldn't it?

Naut · « **Reply #496 on:** August 20, 2010, 04:29:00 AM »

Ragin' about GFW's scoring system. Everytime I play I keep progressively getting better at maximizing my freeze area, supposedly giving me more points... Then as the game end rolls around, I notice my score has gone up maybe one million, if that, even though I played the stages significantly better than the score I just bet by 100k. Fucking clear bonus, I think it's bullshit, to be perfectly honest. Game needs more emphisis on what you do during it, and less focus what resources you end up with at the end.

So this is just an asshole rage, considering I've done nothing rageworthy, really. Just this fucking score system

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #497 on:** August 20, 2010, 05:08:46 AM »

I find it funny that for me, half of my deaths result in collisions with the enemy.
I've been kicked by Wriggle, Mystia, Keine, Tewi, Reisen, Marisa, Chen, Kanako...

*sigh

I for one had the Extra boss spoiled for me by you, when you said you got up to her spellcard

Spoiler:

Admittedly I'm being stubborn and was determined to 1cc the game on Lunatic before going after Extra (it's not like I could have expected you to know that), but still, when you have a name as distinctive as

I never considered her to have a card with that name, though she does indeed have cards with Blazing Star

Blazing Star "Fixed Star/ Planetary Revolution/ Ten Evil Stars"

I've never considered the part outside quotations to actually be part of the spell card name, so if you say Blazing Star, I'm not going to think about this card.

Hey mang, it might be your bag. The danmaku is a lot harder than any Touhou shmup to date, at least. If you don't freeze anything...

Made it to the 3 Fairies' last non-spell. I am confused how so many people have already 1cc'd lunatic. :<

Zengeku · « **Reply #506 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:49:05 AM »

Why is GFW Extra harder than GFW Lunatic? The extra boss's attacks are cheap! All of your cards are retarded gimmicks. The only extra boss i have hated this much before is Evil Eye Sigma.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #507 on:** August 21, 2010, 07:14:52 AM »

Really? If you discount the familiars as a gimmick and more of a callback, what gimmicks would she have? I'd actually call her one of the more skill-based extra bosses.

Sure. I was just raging. Mainly over her familiars. I didn't like getting rammed by them in SoEW and i don't like it now. Maybe if she appeared in an actual shmup where you don't have to rely on the ice i would appreciate her more.

Remember Ikaruga? I hate gimmicks.
