Health and card history are relevant. :/

I should really remember to check if I'm the last poster more. <_<

You never cleared Nue before? Or is that a No Bombs run?

Chuckolator · « **Reply #424 on:** July 31, 2012, 12:48:03 PM »

I'm doing my perfect with MarisaA instead of ReimuA because piercing lasers. Haven't actually cleared it with her yet. <_<

BT · « **Reply #425 on:** July 31, 2012, 12:52:02 PM »

Is MarisaA actually better than ReimuA? I guess the lasers help against, uh, the aimed dudes with red bullets? Is that worth it?

Chuckolator · « **Reply #426 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:03:31 PM »

I haven't noticed any real downsides to using Marisa aside from maybe a few more clipdeaths at Kogasa 1st card, but she makes Blue and Rainbow UFO so much easier. I'd say Green as well, if I didn't seem to always fail that card regardless of who I'm playing as. <_<

Zengeku · « **Reply #427 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:09:04 PM »

SanaeB is better than both of those two because of shotgun.

BT · « **Reply #428 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:22:29 PM »

And because she makes all the UFO spells trivial.

Chuckolator · « **Reply #429 on:** August 01, 2012, 01:42:33 PM »

That's not an issue for now, it seems, because I just failed a perfect run at Danmaku Chimaera.

I don't even.

Elysia · « **Reply #430 on:** August 01, 2012, 11:14:52 PM »

So I just bombed during a timeout attempt when I was in no danger whatsoever.

Or so I thought, since I heard the deathbomb sound, and on watching the replay, was hit by a bullet I didn't even realize was there.

...Well. Um...okay then.

crystalgreatsword · « **Reply #431 on:** August 01, 2012, 11:44:43 PM »

I just had a massive derpfest on PCB Normal Stage 4 with ReimuB.

I kept walling myself in and going to the POC when I knew it was a bad idea to do so.

[17:48] <Kuruminut> MoF extra 1DNB. The death was on Suwa War, at 20 seconds left. I hit a sun. You know, the things that are empty threats until the last ten seconds
[17:48] <Kuruminut> I didn't even get walled. I just...hit it

Teh heh, oh well, it's funny. Plus I made a sick dodge to survive the last ten seconds through a near solid wall, so it makes up for it.

EoSD Stage 6 Practice, why not. Perfect stage portion, cool. Hitbox-related failures on the first non and spell, whatever. Do everything else up to Meister perfectly, not bad.

Die on Meister's third wave, goddammit.

Die on Scarlet Gensokyo with <20% left on the card, fuck you Remilia.

Die on Scarlet Gensokyo again,

:flamingv:

Died on the fairies before Momiji by backing into one of them, then tried to bomb for collecting the power items... :colonveeplusalpha:

The coincidence is uncanny. That was also the first of her cards that I captured. I had died four consecutive times to Shou , and then one randomly captures her hardest card.

Not sure if an accomplishment or an embarrassment.

For me it's probably the best accomplishments ever cuz my keyboard often ghosts, and while moving I was holding Z.

Why can't I ever make it past Stage 3 on UFO Normal? BLARRRGHHHH. :V

I need to have a long talk with Ichirin.

Anyway, my biggest problem with UFO is collecting UFOs. I can't seem to dodge danmaku and actively collect moving items on the screen. Does anyone have any tips for that?

Usually you'll want to use bombs to collect those tokens whenever it seems like there are too many bullets in the way. Stage 4 in particular has a ton of them that you'll never get with out bombing. That's why characters who don't get slowed during bombs tend to be easier to use. Spread fire also helps keep the screen clear of detritus. *coughSanaeBcough*

Beyond that, just know that you can memorize where the tokens will be, and if it you aren't sure about going after one, you should probably ignore it.

Elysia · « **Reply #441 on:** August 05, 2012, 09:37:30 AM »

I just got hit by a bubble bullet during Sea and Sky Turbulence.

Anyone who knows what card I'm talking about is seriously groaning right about now.

fondue · « **Reply #442 on:** August 05, 2012, 11:04:54 AM »

Oh, well well well. Looks like I was hit by one of Nazrin's lasers. But I bombed way before I was hit, but no bomb was on the screen and I died. Why did that happen, you ask?
I was moving down at the same time.

*coughSanaeBcough*

Even though she is a pretty good character, IMO she has the WORST shot types and speed in all of UFO. Unarguably. I would prefer to use MarisaB than SanaeB, but I never play as MarisaB in UFO.

I'm pretty sure both ReimuB and MarisaB are a mile below Sanae, A or B. Their complete lack of focusing fire + MarisaB having pretty much the worst bomb in the game definitely puts them behind Sanae.

On the prospect of derping:
First try at TD: reach Miko's second card
Next seven tries: ragequit before stage 5

Well your opinion is wrong. First of all, her damage output is actually quite good, she can shotgun stuff occasionally, she has great range which turns a lot of problem scenarios during the stages into something really easy and she has a powerful bomb that doesn't slow her down meaning you can use the rather long time it takes for the bomb to go off to set yourself up for a UFO spawn.

She is probably the best character in the game. She might not be able to beat ReimuA or MarisaA in terms of damage output but both of these characters slow down your movement making it harder, sometimes impossible, to grab UFO's during the bomb animations. Plus, they have less range.

So basically use SanaeB. She's a good girl.

fondue · « **Reply #445 on:** August 05, 2012, 12:19:18 PM »

but SanaeA is better than SanaeB
oh ya BTW I misworded my other post kinda wrong; I was only refering to SanaeB. but still I actually have troubles with B so thats the reason why I dislike it. (And plus anyway im totally used to Persuasion Needles and Small hitboxes.)
Still SanaeA is better for me. You guys may actually have a point because she is the least used character in the game for me, so I might have to experement more with her.
Still going with ReimuA :getdown:

Zengeku · « **Reply #446 on:** August 05, 2012, 12:32:51 PM »

Hey, UFO has a lot of really good shot types so if you rather want to play as someone other than the absolute best, I won't stop you. :V

fondue · « **Reply #447 on:** August 05, 2012, 12:37:49 PM »

good :V
Welp, tried SanaeB earlier and I HAD TO CONTINUE AT THE END OF MURASA AAAAAAAAAA

Zengeku · « **Reply #448 on:** August 07, 2012, 12:43:20 AM »

I just fucked up Kogasa's 2nd spell, Ichirin's second non-spell and Boundary of Wave and Particle in one sitting. That'll teach me to play at 2:45 AM. :V

Tsym · « **Reply #449 on:** August 07, 2012, 01:07:36 AM »

10 consecutive deaths to Yuyuko on 10 different attempts of TD stage 1. Urgh what the hell. I know Yuyuko is totally doable with no deaths/bombs consistently, unlike a certain stage 1 spider, but somehow I just can't seem to do it today.

And of course I can do Yuyuko's final spell card perfectly well in spell practice (even stopping shooting for a while to account for the power difference), and yet I still fail it in the actual stage, though now I realize that the best way to do it is basically to sit at the bottom of the screen and not move. Now all the dodging antics I did before just seem silly. Sigh.

Of course I know that if I ever do beat Yuyuko, I'll be met with Kyouko's flipping non-spells. They seriously are harder than her actual cards.

Edit: Oh wow. I'm done with Touhou for the night. 4 consecutive runs lost to Yuyuko's second spellcard. You know, the one that everyone shotguns Yuyuko for spirits? I don't even know how that's possible. I didn't even see her final spell card once. This is stage freaking 1 for crying out loud.
