I seem to recall you can safespot these. Don't remember how though. :<

From the starting position, move to the very bottom of the screen and microtap twice to the right.

Just failed Yuyuko's first spell 5 times in a row, and also suddenly lost the ability to dodge her GOAST KNIFES.
Seriously what's happening?

Also, how come I can't capture 80% Reflowering when I've capped SFN many times already?

Decided to try out some PoD.D with Kana.
I was doing pretty okay for my first serious try on Normal.
Then I hit stage 7. What the hell, Ellen.

OH MY GOD, THIS.

I completely SUCK at Subterranean Rose. To beat stupid Koishi, I had to time SR out. Marisa C, 4 lives, full power. I barely managed to beat it when I had no lives with no more bombs.....
I tried it again with Raymoo A... then I decided to not time it out and I got raped by her.  :V

Subterranean Rose.
It's not that hard, is it? Pay attention to the gaps in 1st and 3rd waves, and unfocus move up to slip through asap.
Last phase is quite hard, though, like I can't move up 5 waves in those small gaps and always die somehow.

Thanks for the idea, got me my first extra clear just now. I'm pretty happy even if it's cheesy to time SR out.

Am I the only one who finds Subterranean Rose not that hard? I captured it the first time I saw it, with ReimuA. :v

(Maybe it helped that I saw the DS version first.)

Argh. You wouldn't think so, but relearning stages is surprisingly hard.

I have to say, I'm appreciating MoF more and more the more I try to play for score. There's a whole new layer of depth that I can't help but admire.

Oh and my VoWG performance is hilariously bad at the moment.  :V

Am I the only one who finds Subterranean Rose not that hard?

Never found it hard because I always followed Yoslime's advice.

EDIT:
Hell yeah failing stuff like Kanako's first spellcard three times in a row and Sanae's last as well.

I would love to see a timeout of Subterranean Rose that actually goes through the phases.

That card kicks my ass, though admittedly I didn't even play the stage any after my clear.


Also, I haven't played Touhou for weeks and will start again in the latter half of the week. How much will I suck?

1DNB first try. That was my absolute dumbest death ever.
The hard part is not getting red and blue mixed up for such a long time and keeping cool. The bullets are very slow.

EDIT:
Done. Take it or leave it.

I was playing SA and was feeling pretty good about it.  Then I died three times on Parsee's final spell card.  Then game overed on the first wave of fairies after mid-boss Yuugi.

Oww. Just did a random Final B run here at school, fell just short of a second perfect of Kaguya, running a bullet on Life Spring Infinity. Better yet, I captured four of her five last spells (guess which one I failed :V). Ah well, I've perfected her once, don't need to do it 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.

Extra in PoFV versus Sakuya.  I have no idea what happened.  Shot Chance came up and then she used her level three skill, then she did again, then she used her level 2 skill.  There were a butt load of knives on one side of me and another set above me.  I died.

Subterranean Rose? Hard? Nope. Its QED, Grudge Bow and BoLaD that are the hard ones.

There are many gaps :V

Agreed. That isn't a wall. You can call it a middle finger when she throwns an incredibly dense formation of bullets on top of something like that. Not before.

Dammit.
Any time I die or bomb on VoWG, I immediately have to die/bomb at least two more times before the card ends.
It's always at around 25% health too. :fail:

It's pretty great for Three Fairies, though, when you can get 200% motivation just for shooting the ally fairies and ubergrazing and freezing.

Instantly getting 60% is cool.

Video speaks for itself.

I'm always discovering these scoring tricks and whatnot. VoWG (and MarisaC in general, really), Double Black Death Butterfly...

Seriously, though, the motivation increases by at least ~10% with every freeze.
