So if I'm on the right, Ran fires to the right then moves right, but if I'm on the left after she fires but before she moves she will move left, into my shots? Ok, sounds simple enough.

Well, not really. You want her to fire downwards every time. Just position yourself in line with her, but very slightly off in the direction you want to go, then dash off and follow her immediately after she fires straight down. Repeat ad

Merlins opener is ballsy. Not only is it pretty hard on its own but you also have to use Sakuya to play it and she sucks. I don't think i'm the only one who finds her movement speed quite horrible.

I wanted to time it out but i cannot do so. I have only managed to pull off 2-death timeouts and its becoming much more annoying than its worth. I can capture it quite often though and i suppose it wouldn't be as terribly hard for Sakuya regulars.

Isn't that right Enigma?

More PCB rage.

Tried some practice runs.

Clipdeaths on Alice . Clipdeaths on Stage 4 and Prismrivers. Clipdeaths on Stage 5.

Walled by Hungry King Sword

Walled by Hell God Sword

Had bullets spawned on top of my hitbox while trying to misdirecting Youmu's opener.

Had BS walls shot at me in Stage 4 postmidboss. Had BS walls shot at me by Stage 4 midboss, so I can choose what I get walled by.

Who said hitboxes in PCB were better? Because these bubbles have the exact same hitboxes as EoSD bubbles. Hitboxes seem off too.

Several cases of me pressing the bomb button before I get hit with a distance where I should get the bomb off, then I still end up dying.

Damn. Oh and Izuna Gongen makes me rage just by seeing it! Yuyuko gets that, Yukari has it, now even Ran has it! Tehy all have yhat same attack pattern in a card or non-spell. What the hell was ZUN thinking/drinking! Making a card like that not once, not twice but thrice!

I just had a perfect EoSD stage 6 going all the way to Scarlet Gensokyo before dying.

Ran straight into a bubble bullet because I misjudged it's trajectory while nothing else was near me.

FUCKING. HELL.

Why did I fuck up this many times with bombs in stock? That could have been a 1cc.

Death with bombs on Alice, several on Prismrivers, another on Youmu.

why must reimu/aya in sa's targeted shot move in the opposite direction as the character when unfocused

while sakuya-b in pcb's targeted shot moves in the same direction as the character while unfocused

other than specifically to confuse and befuddle me personally

Fixed for accuracy. If it's not the Magic Team or Border Team being used, you are either goofing around, or your insane, or both.

Fxied cause the original was wrong.

What at Magic Team not being insane?

Magic Team is the definition of insane/goofing around. Same for Scarlet Team. Solos are of course even more so.


Also, why the hell am I now dying to Letty constantly. I get to Stage 6 despite stupid mistakes earlier, and now I keep ragequitting on Letty and Chen.

Fixed for great accuracy because all of you failed to be accurate!
Spoiler:
Personal Opinion, obviously.

MALICE Cannon & Score Whore FTW

Border Team kills patterns by using homing bullets, which makes the game bullshit easy. There's no fun in playing a game like that/ =[

Well if you're trying to score, Youmu solo is a pretty solid choice. (Assuming you can manage aiming her shots. Which I can't.)

Scarlet Team is pretty much the second pick for people who want to just finish the game...

Magic Team is only good for Malice Cannon.  Marisa and Alice by themselves are both more fun IMO.

Ghost Team would fill that role much better.  Screen-filling youkai shot that annihilates stages + the best card-killing bomb in the game.  Scarlet Team's bombs are way too weak for good low-end survival play.

Not sure why you say Scarlet Team bombs are too weak. Remilia's bomb does ridiculous damage if you're on top of the boss.

Yes, but on most cards you'll be focused, meaning your deathbomb is the useless Sakuya bomb.  Also, Youmu's bomb is ridiculous.

Oh?

And yeah, Scarlet Team has pretty dodgy bombs. I much prefer Remi solo over the team variant; she's much more powerful than Sakuya and a ton of fun to fly around like a maniac with. :V

Dodgy bombs... various situations for Sakuya (you all know which ones by now I hope), and Remi's unfortunately doesn't do a lot to Spell Cards, but does ridiculous damage against Non-Spells (in comparison) because of the way the mechanics work. Also, I'll make the statement that anybody who prefers Remi solo over the Scarlet Team obviously doesn't / hasn't / isn't play(ed / ing) for score, or is inexperienced in the field of scoring; the main highlight of Sakuya is her individual auxiliary skill which is a scorerunner's dream come true.

In other news, I recently discovered a flaw in my playstyle when playing StB / DS. The problem here is ironing it out; it's almost impossible to iron out because the only way I can think of doing this is becoming either left-hand dominant, or ambidextrous. Ridiculous, isn't it? Now, you're probably wondering, "what for?". See, here's the thing:

When taking photos, I generally try to minimize the duration that I'm "scoping" my shot; a fundamental scoring practice. I do this by naturally pressing both the "Shot" key and the directional button(s). Now, because I'm right-hand dominant, and I play using a keyboard without swapping the directional and "active" buttons (and no, swapping them now is completely out of the question), I have this rather large tendency to move before pressing the Shot key. Guess what this means? Precisely, I move a tiny bit first, then I start "scoping". This equates to instant death. Instant death exactly at the point where I hit the "Shot" key.

tl;dr Being right-handed means that my right-half of my body reacts faster to "brain input" causing disastrous results.

Another anomaly that I've experienced is Aya's hitbox expanding while "scoping"; this is completely unconfirmed, and it may or may not be related with the case above from what I've observed.

And finally, 4.34 million on 10-5.

That sounds about right. I have no idea whatsoever about IN scoring; to be honest, I'm not even really talking about survival so much as just that it's a really, really fun shot type. :V Maybe it's just the high speed and forward focus catering to my arcade shmup habits, who knows.
