You think Yamame's first nonspell is hard? Wait until you see the Lunatic version :V

inb4 funen :V


Also, I loved both StB and DS, but after you clear them, it's just like...what's left to do? Wonderful games while they last, but once they're over...

Erase score.dat, start again.
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

I decided to try lunatic SA for the first time,
game over in the pre-boss part of stage 3, by a lasor.
and the only shot type i can use in SA Lunatic is Reimu B :V :V
everything else is dying by The wrong use of PoC,
And i thought MoF Lunatic was hard enough :V

Welllllll, I could help you with that if you really wanted to get to the spoiler stage, but I know that isn't your style. As it is, it is up to you to weigh whether Hatate (:* :* :*) is worth it.

Well there's your problem. Don't give up though, SA rewards those who practice its stages.

Also, you should be grazing to auto-collect, not using the PoC. There's plenty of bullets to go around on Lunatic.

Hatate (:* :* :*) is definitely worth it. But I'm just so out of practice that no matter what order of scenes to clear you give me, I'll fail at all of them. :< Le sigh.

Now now, don't sell yourself short! I know very well each stage has at least one easy stage (well, easy once you learn it), and that you have the skill to beat them.

You're on level 9, right? In that case, aim to clear Camera-Shy Rose (9-5), which is one of the easiest late-game scenes. In level 10, strive to capture 10-1, which, as usual, has a trick. 10-4 is technically easier, but is difficult to learn. Come level 11, either 11-1 or 11-4 will be a fairy easy capture, and in level 12 simply capture 12-5, which isn't -easy-, but doable. Come on, I know you can do it! =D

9-5 is definitely easy and self-explanatory.
I don't get 10-1 or 10-4, but 10-3 is also not hard at all.
Safespot 11-1 (hint: the spot is near Kanako, and it's huge)
if you don't like 12-5, 12-2 isn't very hard either, but does take a while,
due to a number of defensive shots you might have to take.

If you need to boost your number of scenes cleared (you need like 58 for spoiler),
you might want to clear some stuff from earlier levels.
Extra cards aren't very hard either, once you unlocked them,
so you can also concentrate on clearing 4-6 of them

Score-runs. Playing the game again. That sorta stuff. Find some fun stuff to do with the individual scenes. Its like a whole new set of spell practice cards for you to mess around with. There is always possibilities.

I'm not sure I can take 12.3 seriously anymore. The weather system is becoming too fucking stupid.

EDIT: And the game apparently has input lag over netplay. No way in hell I can accept that.

UFO Stage 2 Lunatic. Perfected everything except Kogasa's second boss card, and dying very stupidly at that.

I've always wondered, typically a "perfect" run is NDNB. In UFO, does it count as a "perfect" run if you use UFOs, or does it have to be NDNBNUFO? :/

I'm doing no UFOs too. Not that hard to do Stage 2 like that. Kogasa is really the only challenge, but of course there are no UFOs to summon during a boss fight.

Avoid UFO's if at all possible but don't consider it an imperfection if you don't intentionally summon an UFO. I have had situations during the final part of UFO Stage 3 where i was circle-streaming the fairies and an UFO came in the way forcing me to pick it up if i didn't want to die.

Besides, its pretty much the same as breaking familiars in Imperishable Night or destroying those bullet-clearing enemies in a cave shmup.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, forgot to add. Seriously hate that Orion Break spellcard of GFW Route A2. Its the only spell i haven't gold medalled there. It almost forms walls but there is a little gap you can get through. The annoying part is that i have to play 10 minutes just to get to it.

EDIT 2:

And yet another of those 1DNB Kanako fights. And once again the death wasn't at VoWG. Rice Porridge is the culprit today. Annoying that.

tbh it doesn't matter as ufos can also get in the way of your shots or even worse, block your way(st5)

Too right. This example is also from Stage 3. I accidentically summoned (UFO randomly flies where i need to go to avoid getting killed) an UFO at the circle-streaming part. Then the UFO floated down and shielded one of the two wall fairies that appear. The ones you want to kill as quickly as possible. That made the situation pretty much unsalvagable.

Sometimes I'm glad EoSD can't save practice replays. Because then I'm not tempted to relive moments like dying to a large bullet the instant Water Elf explodes. Or deciding to ram a stationary bullet during Perfect Freeze. Or .... well, you get the idea.

PSM and KKS. Seriously ZUN, couldn't you have figured out something better for those bosses? You'd think that KKS is just a simple bullets coming down the screen-kinda card but why does it have to be that difficult? Its harder than most of Byakuren's stuff. And PSM alternates between handing captures on a platter to something that could just qualify as the hardest spell in the game.

Annoying.

EDIT: Sigh... UFO really proves to me how bad i am at shmups. Gonna go play something easy for now before i turn in for the night. MoF, here i come.

EDIT 2: Suck at that too. I need some sleep. Good night everyone. :)

Still, it would be too easy otherwise, I guess...

On-topic: I tried MoF hard for a change of pace today and found out that I still suck horribly at Touhou. I had a hard time reacting on freaking Minoriko, lost 2 lives on Hina and didn`t even made it to Aya. :colonveeplusalpha:

Speaking of Aya, anyone has a scoreth125.dat file from DS with all cards clear on both characters? Preferably with no shots locked. It would be really useful for me, and not just because I suck at DS :derp:.
