Some fiddling later, I figured out what I did wrong last time.  EoSD Lunatic 1cc forthcoming.  Small movements and responsive keys are helpful.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

A few PoFV attempts

Died to Komachi 3 times

Died to Marisa twice, then ragequit

Another gameover at Hourai Jewel.

[Kefit]

I died literally one tenth of a second away from a perfect EoSD stage six Lunatic run last night. Remi was exploding and everything. The kicker is that it was easily avoidable - I clipped on one of EoSD's infamous bubble corners, when I had a few pixels of leeway I could have used to move just a bit more.

The only reason I didn't scream is because I was at a friend's house. Instead I stared blankly into space for several minutes while breathing heavily. I think I freaked my friend out.

[theshirn]

Game overed on boss!Sakuya.

Two deaths where I bombed a hair too late (but at least it was me and not input lag that killed me), one DERP dodge into a knife on Sakuya's second noncard, and then she pulled the Killing Doll trick on me to end it.

Three deaths with bombs?  Not too shabby.  (Well, four, but I can't blame myself for the Killing Doll one.)  We've got some work to do here.

[theshirn]

doubleposting because what the hell

How did I die five consecutive times on Gengetu's fourth phase?

Like...seriously, what?

Still cleared her, which is why LLS is one of the easiest Extras - metric crapton of resources - but ohyegods.

(That was MarisaB.  I also cleared with ReimuB...lolnurseReimu)

[Turtlesaur]

WHY DO I KEEP DYING AS BOSSES DIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH seriously that last 1% health really really fast wave of Grudge Bow. What.

On the plus side I managed to do my first capture of Undefined Darkness. While at the same time also managing to bomb/die on every single noncard.

edit: again except I captured blue UFO this time

[Zengeku]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..... repeat that for a bunch of minutes.

I fucked up a perfect Shou Lunatic battle at Complete Clarification. Bugger, dammit, fuck it all to hell, i'll never perform that good on fucking everything again... i should rather go cry instead...

Okay, that's it. I hate Complete Clarification from now on. Stupid card. *Goes to try and capture it.*

EDIT: Fails to capture it. A couple of times. How am i supposed to keep track of all that? Geez...

[ふねん1]

I really don't know why my subconscious wants me to keep playing Hisoutensoku's story mode. I suppose I haven't played it enough to know for sure, but first impressions told me that I'm not too fond of the enemy spellcard system (even if every attack is learnable), and that opinion hasn't changed yet. It's a fighting game, it should focus on that rather than try to make it remotely resemble the main series games. Of course, this ignores the fact that I hate computer opponents in general - I much prefer human vs. human in any fighting game.

Are you taking it from as low on the screen as possible?  As obvious as it sounds, my experience with the card involved being able to capture it when I first started, losing the ability when I got cocky and started moving higher up, and going back to a proper capture rate once I went back to cowering at the bottom.  Also remember that the very bottom of the screen is safe during even-numbered laser waves.

Still, sucks to hear that Complete Clarification ruined such a good run.  I was lucky to never have to suffer such a fate (and I was shaky as hell when I perfected Syou, don't know how it didn't happen).  Closest thing to it was a 1DNB on Vajra.

[ark]

I hate UFO.

So I'm trying to 1cc Normal with all shot types. ReimuB was easy, managed it first try with several lives to spare. Last one, MarisaB.

Stage 3 was fail, and I died 3 times to Ichirin's last card because I'm stupid. Went in to Stage 4 with 0 lives, everything went well and I came out with 2. Lots of fail and a game over on stage 5.

Second attempt. More fail on stage 3. Stage 4 went perfectly until I died twice on the last spellcard. 0 lives into stage 5, and of course I lose fighting Shou.

Third attempt, I just quit on stage 4 when I ended up with 0 lives.

And I don't blame MarisaB for it either, I'm just terribly inconsistent. Why??

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Well, this sucks

The border break I could deal with as Unilateral Contact sucks. But that death was completely lame. Even if I hadn't died, then the border break would have pissed me off.

[ふねん1]

It always feels like an accomplishment when I perfect the stage portion for SA Stage 5 Hard. So I manage that again, and perfect Orin up to Small Demon's Revival before dying. Again. And I honestly don't think it was my fault either. Here's what happened. I complete the first turnaround, and notice that the fairies are going to force me around again. That in itself isn't bad, but the glowing bullets they dropped formed a thicker formation than usual (I wouldn't consider that bad in itself either). So I fit into the only space available at the time, then right as I'm in that gap a fairy shotguns a bubble to my face before I can even do anything else.

Fucking randomness. What's even worse is that when I do this good, I'm always out of energy and motivation to try again. I feel like I'm actually trapped in Hell here. This is driving me nuts!

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

So after my 1 death 1 border broken run, I decide to try perfecting the stage

Here were my latest attempts

I am now playing WORSE each try. What the fuck?

[LHCling]

Three things:

• I am a coward who doesn't move up for the last shot
• I react too slowly / I don't have enough finesse
• I'm still doing it wrong and have a loooong way to go

[theshirn]

how did I die
how did I die
how did I die
how did I die

12 bombs gone

what the hell

[チソウ タイゼン]

Items!
*Moves upwards*
Aaaahhh, b?lats
*Moves downwards*
No more b?lats
*Moves upwards*
Where did those enemies come from?!
*Moves downwards*
I want my items.
*Moves upwards*
More b?lats?
*Moves downwards*
I think that's over.
*Moves upwards*
*STAGE BOSS APPEARS*

[The Greatest Dog]

Ah hah hah hah hah I captured Nazrin's Pendulum finally!
Ah hah hah hah hah I perfected Kogaga again! With another silly capture of Parasol Star Memories!
Ah hah hah wut? I failed to stage 3...
Ah hah not funny. I got slammed by Nue in stage 4. And I failed Dipper Creeping Close again.
No, how did I die twice to Shou again?
Ha hah hah hah I capture Magic Milky Way no horizontal again.
Nuuu, why did I game over after I capture Magic milky Way?

[チソウ タイゼン]

Do you mean Nazrin Pendulum, High Sensitivity Nazrin Pendulum, or Defense Sign?
Either way it's not that hard. I hate the light magic attacks that Byakuren does, and those ABOMINABLE CURVING LASERS SHOU FAUCK

[The Greatest Dog]

Nazrin's final card on Hard.

It took me 13 tries to figure out how to beat it with Reimu B. During my 1cc attempts, those 12 previous tries were mostly bombs AND/or deaths.

[LHCling]

ABOMINABLE CURVING LASERS SHOU FAUCK

What's with all the hate, guise?  ;_;
On that note,

• I react too slowly / I don't have enough finesse
• I'm still doing it wrong and have a loooong way to go

[The Greatest Dog]

What's with all the hate, guise?  ;_;

I enjoy the curvy lasers. Even the DS 7-7 Lasers. But then UFO Hard suddenly became, "Wait, Shou, since when did you get so fast?"
Oh, but her final noncard on hard is still simple enough to consistently beat.

[ふねん1]

Yeah, it's not so much that they curve as it is how fucking fast they are. I find her third nonspell simple too, for the very reason that they're slowest during this attack. All of the lasers generally curve in predictable ways, it's reacting to them that's the problem, since none of them are static (that I can see, anyway).

[Zengeku]

Are you taking it from as low on the screen as possible?  As obvious as it sounds, my experience with the card involved being able to capture it when I first started, losing the ability when I got cocky and started moving higher up, and going back to a proper capture rate once I went back to cowering at the bottom.  Also remember that the very bottom of the screen is safe during even-numbered laser waves.

Yeah, going to the bottom seems to make things easier. But what are you talking about with bottom of the screen being safe during even-numbered waves? Is there some sort of safespot or what?

[LHCling]

It's more like the lowest laser looks like it will cut through, but it won't because you're just outside of the range of it.

I just lost all 4 of my lives against Rikako in the 'Decisive' Battle on PoDD Lunatic. T-T

[Helion]

EoSD run broken by S4. Deaths with bombs in stock etc. I'm starting to get used to this.
