I treat her second as a survival card, autobomb Vajra and am getting better at Complete Clarification.

I found out that her second card is, contrary to the Normal version, much easier if you stick to the center the whole time. Once or twice you'll have to fly around a row of arrowheads between laser times, but aside from that it's very easy to survive, even to time out.

Move in a circle? Miracle of Otensui/Source of Rains? Into the large blue bullet area? That's just crazy :V I don't think I can adequately describe what I do, so see a crappy old video. I still use the same overall technique; it works on any difficulty but Easy.

Illusionary Dominance: I typically stay in the bottom left corner (although the bottom right corner works just as well). That automatically avoids about half the bullets.

Also, there is no extend at 300 million. Extends are only at 20, 40, 80, and 150 million, plus the two on stages 3 and 5.

edit: whoa, replying to old posts from the previous page Ha ha, old chap!. brb, scorerunning easy

I've posted that complaint about Source of Rains before.

Don't you just hate cards that are harder on Easy than they are on Normal? Or on Normal than they are on Hard? Or on Hard than they are on Lunatic? This card does all 3 of those. It's still easy to screw up on Lunatic though.

ark · « **Reply #723 on:** June 09, 2010, 06:06:09 AM »

I think it's easiest on Normal, personally.

what I would like to bitch about is satori. I don't recollect any of those spells, and I just 1cced PCB Lunatic

Two out of three of Satori's recollections aren't from PCB. One is from StB, the other is Alice's deathbomb from IN.
And the third one, at least on Normal, is from PCB.

Satori Alice:
Spring Kyoto Dolls - PCB
Artfull Sacrafice - IN
Kamakazi Strawdolls - StB

The all suck

The third one is an original spellcard based on a spellcard from Immaterial and Missing Power.

In today's episode of GuyonFire Triest to 1cc UFO:

Game over at Flying Fantastica. With only about 10% of the lifebar left.

I have never actually screamed "NOOOO!" out loud before. Welp.

...
I could have won. My EoSD Lunatic 1cc could have been successful.

BUT NO. A little piece of shit fairy of Stage 6 RAN INTO ME and I entered Remilia with one life. I made it to Scarlet Meister.
With one more life, I could have made it.

Oh fuck you, fairy. Next time I will bomb Stage 6.

Arcengal · « **Reply #730 on:** June 09, 2010, 08:23:42 PM »

I can't believe what just happened.
I left Stage 5 3/0. Let's assume I die once on Stage 6, still leaves me 2/2 for Byakuren, plus whatever bonuses I get.

I die twice and get there 1/3. Once because I mess up the first green UFO for the first time ever and run out of luck about 4 seconds into random dodging, the second to the FIRST WAVE OF NUE'S ATTACK.

Going into one of my most feared spells 0/0, I mess up an intermediate wave.

Did I mention that this run included a NBND TIMEOUT OF VAJRA OF PERFECT ****ING BUDDHISM!? I'm probably never going to get that lucky again... I feel sick.

How can you possibly get this far in UFO Lunatic ? God, this game is inhuman, I can't even capture Nazrin's last spell in Stage 1, I can't remember where and when I must catch UFOs, I can't get to Stage 3 with more than 1 life.
I tried Stage 5 and 6, and what is this, how can you possibly win there ?

Well, like the game says, it's for the chosen ones I suppose. :V
(I hope I'll be this good someday :ohdear:)

An unbelievably large amount of practice. As an illustration, my Greatest Treasure history is currently 3/157. Also, knowing what to bomb because you can't do it (Murasa's 3rd non-card, PSM, etc).

Edit: You're probably better than me at EoSD. My best is getting to Vampire illusion.

My Luna-dick UFO Runs:

Rod Sign Busy Rod 15 / 15
Defense Sign Nazrin Pendulum 07 / 15
Hello Forgotten World 03 / 15
Parasol Star Memories 01 / 15
Water Repelling Bone Dry Monster 06 / 15
Monster Train Card 00 / 15
Mid!Ichirin's Nonspell: Death

.it's kind of embarassing actually...

Despite this UFO is still my favorite game in the entire series.
Bar Mountain of Faith or Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Satori's recollection.

Because that card is bullshit.

I could not die on all of UFO and then I'll practically clip FF four times.

I've never been able to <3 Death Stage 6. That's why I always have to arrive at Stage 6 with a lot of lives.

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #736 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:41:00 AM »

It seems fairly straightforward to me.
I hated Mountain of Faith. I hated Eirin's everything. I hated Resurrection Butterfly, I hated Grudge Bow, I hated Suwako's everything, I hated the entire PCB Extra stage no. 1.
I don't mean to brag but the whole falling circles thing just isn't so hard. What's your strategy?

ark · « **Reply #737 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:41:18 AM »

Heart death stage 6 sounds pretty hard. Also I've never captured FF either :U

Well, I'm going to say this:

First time I got to FF, I almost captured it. My strategy was to go through all the rings in a clockwise manner, starting from the middle, right under Byakuren. (I don't have a replay. =[

I was at 0/0 and Byakuren's life bar was around "-------------".

Ever since, I had trouble getting through the rings. I'm pretty sure it's static, though. Maybe take a look here: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8613

You know what? I'm going to do that... I feel like I need a break from Touhou anyway. Too much of a memorize fest.

Don't some Cave shooters have a deathtimer, though?

MTSranger · « **Reply #742 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:41:52 AM »

Satori recollection
Everything from Orin and Utsuho.
Damn it, SA Normal 1cc is so freaking hard.

Maybe I should go work on EoSD Hard 1cc instead since I managed to get to Remilia's 1st card in lunatic without continue...

8lue Wizard · « **Reply #743 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:45:47 AM »

If there's one thing I hate more than bashing my face against a problem until I can't see straight it's watching that same problem roll over and die the next time I so much as poke it.

After several instances of reaching Byakuren 4/2 or better and eating a facefull of fail, today I reached her at 3/0, and left 1/2.

Oh, and this is my first UFO normal 1cc. *party blower*

MTSranger · « **Reply #744 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:52:21 AM »

UFO made me rage almost every time.
In my 1cc, I got to Byakuren with 6/5 and ended up with 0/1 (didn't know about timing out the last spell...)
I can't even get pass stage 2 in lunatic (even in SA I continued my way to stage 5).

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #745 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:33:16 AM »

I think the deathbomb timer is just right, actually. Except in IN, of course. It's ludicrous.
On my first UFO 1cc I entered Stage 6 with max lives and 4 bombs.
I exited with 7 lives and 7 bombs.
When I first started playing Touhou, I. NEVER. BOMBED.
Something about me never really playing shmups with bombs in them.
So when I perfected Stage 3 MOF Easy on my very first time playing Touhou, I was yelled at for not using bombs

People at school are so backwards

Drake · « **Reply #746 on:** June 10, 2010, 04:27:50 PM »

Well you should be bombing for Faith, at the very least :hurrsuperfluousnitpick:

It took me a week and a half to figure out the scoring system.
I'm just reluctant to bomb when I'm not on 5.00 power.

DracoOmega · « **Reply #748 on:** June 10, 2010, 06:01:33 PM »

Grrr... something like 7 EoSD lunatic runs in a row today that didn't make it past Sakuya due to random stupidity (particularly on level 4). Once I died 3 times in a row with no bombs used. Decided to just do one run on hard for a change of pace and a quick 1cc. Of course, this time I died FOUR times in stage 4 without bombing. And, guess what, game overed on Sakuya, again, somehow. Argh... T.T

That argument is valid for every spellcard in existance, I'm not sure why you brought it up. Memorizing non-random patterns would take far less time than lucking through everything.

Scarlet Meister is a very good example of this. It can go from a complete clusterfuck to a card thats just pretty hard. While it may be perfectly possible to dodge it no matter what happens. Its a very short spellcard so there is a much higher chance for the player to luck their way through that one than cards like VoWG or LFO.
