BAHAHAHA XD what is with Ran and her 6th non-spell? I never used to have any problem with anyof the nons and now every run that made it to ran failed to that non-spell. how the fuck is that even possible? that's more deaths than I had to suwa wars or Q.E.D man. to basically ran's 6th non is a level above suwa wars and Q.E.D for me :v I just dunno what is wrong with me, since I captured charming siege every time and I also captured kokkuri-sans contract and izuna a few times after continuing despite the death.
so yeah, that non-spell's the one thing stopping me from perfecting PCB extra. I doubt it's really that difficult, so it's just a matter of not being a retard when playing. so yeah, PCB is not a skill-issue. I think I'll continue tomorrow, though.

oh yeah, red and blue oni killed me a few times, too :v I am doing pretty horribly overall in some easy parts, but I do well against the harder stuff in the stage.

I died to Flandre 3rd nonspell.

Know what I learned, not playing UFO is not making me any better at it. I learned this when I died to Murasa's second nonspell. And I died to twice to Ichirin's Sandbag. Also I had a panic attack at the start of Kogasa's boss fight. Not a great return after a month or two of not playing xD

ふねん1 · « **Reply #543 on:** September 29, 2012, 03:49:30 AM »

I died to midboss-Yuugi's card. I think no more needs to be said.

EDIT: And now I died to Magic Butterfly. What the fuck is wrong with me? Have I been out of the game long enough that I've forgotten my rule to never play when tired?

BT · « **Reply #544 on:** September 29, 2012, 02:13:27 PM »

I died to The World.

Zengeku · « **Reply #545 on:** September 29, 2012, 09:31:14 PM »

Guys. Here's one that is gonna top all of your embarassments.

I managed to die on Kogasa's midboss non-spell and her first boss non-spell in the same run. Badass

I died to Ichirin's 1st nonspell 2 times,and 1 at her midboss one. At Hard difficulty. In a run that was going well, too.

Well I captured all of Kogasa's spells in that run. That makes it even more epic failures :V

EDIT:

Failed to pacify King Kraken Strike like 5 times in a row. I should not play this late at night.

lol, that was a good one. Random Remilia play, 1DNB. The death? Vampire Illusion. I didn't get walled, but a bullet came at me near-horizontally and caught me off guard.

Trying to perfect an unspecified stage with two challenging parts and a lot of filler. Died to an attack I was 15/15 on before, which also falls after all the challenging parts. :colonveeplusalpha:

I knew I was out of practice at MoF Stage 6.
but dying to the 4th nonspell and ~~luck~~ skill dodging through a wave of the 3rd nonspell aren't normal.

Oh, and the 4 deaths to VoWG, all but 1 of them stupid. At least my new idea for reading it works because I knew what to do on all the deaths.

Died 4 times during a SA Normal run. Seppuko time. :V

Proof that even if you can no-miss every stage in the game on Lunatic (unfortunately not too consistently) you can still die on Normal. Not because Normal is hard or anything but because things are moving in such slow-motion that you run into bullets because you are used to them moving faster.

I'll get the NDNB but right now it's time to recover some soul by doing some meditation. By which I mean playing some Arkham City or something.

I just died on Mamizou's second card because I forgot what the hell I was facing and didn't start the thing up top. Maybe that two-block-long dash to catch the bus wasn't such a good idea after all. :V

*starts up EoSD Hard with Marisa A*
Let's DO this.
*bombs just as Extreme Color Typhoon ends*
Okay, whatever.
*loses a life on Stage 4, loses two lives and three bombs on Patchouli*
:s
*dies on Sakuya nonspell*
Ffffff-
*dies on Remi's first nonspell and Young Demon Lord*
-.-
*game over on Scarlet Meister*

I HATE SCARLET SHOOT/SCARLET MEISTER.

I also dislike all shot types except Reimu B. Seriously.

RNG · « **Reply #562 on:** October 13, 2012, 12:30:53 AM »

I've been working on UFO stage 4, and 9/10 of my deaths on the stage have been either clipping the opener trying to collect the red token, or dying right before killing the first red ufo. Not, you know, on the actual hard parts at the end, or on Murasa.

By the way, Shiki, Marisa A gets the hardest Patchy fight by far. Try Marisa B - you also get Master Spark in the bargain.

Shikieiki · « **Reply #563 on:** October 13, 2012, 01:00:23 AM »

I hate UFO Stages 4-6, most in particular Sinker Ghost and Most Valuable Vajra.

Most of my Marisa attempts have been with B, but I decided to try A for once since I think the shot is slightly stronger. I don't know for sure though.

Either way I still hate Marisa. :L

I have no name · « **Reply #564 on:** October 13, 2012, 02:52:58 AM »

Vajra is stupidly hard, Sinker Ghost is annoying. So it's not just you. MairsaA is the stronger shot and can bomb through spellcards, but overall both Marisas are kinda bad.

But I'm posting here because I died to IN Stage 1.
Twice.
On hard mode. :derp:

At least I perfected Stage 2 before making a fool of myself on Stage 5, then capturing BDB.

Shikieiki · « **Reply #565 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:10:09 AM »

I've never been able to capture either. I can handle one spinny green thing but certainly not two moving at different times. >_>

Marisa is too fast. Except when I'm doing Laevatein and I move too late so Reimu is too slow to escape the laser. :V

I attempted a blind run on IN Lunatic once just for kicks. Think I lost on Mystia. :derp:

Tsym · « **Reply #566 on:** October 13, 2012, 05:19:17 AM »

Uh? I just had three runs in MoF Extra where I game over'd on Suwako's second spell card.
My deaths were in the same locations in all three runs.
Kanako's first spell card.
2 on Suwako's first spell card.
1 on Suwako's second spell card.
What?

IN is actually pretty memorization heavy, so I think that's pretty normal. I know I almost never made it past Keine in that game until I bothered to sit down and learn her attacks.

You know that you don't need to immediately collect the UFO token during the stage 4 opener. Just let it go and cycle back around to red before nabbing it. There should basically be no bullets on the screen when you nab it.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #567 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:10:23 AM »

There is one very simple trick to Sinker Ghost/Dipper Creeping Close: You need to be traveling between the four corners of the screen. If you can do this successfully, you can unfocus dash between each corner, and dodge the bullets fired with a simple gap maneuver. The spell card depends entirely on whether you can get into this rhythm or not. You can't control Murasa's first positioning, and it will be at odds with you moving between corners. If you can outmuscle that initial limitation though (and there's no straight way to do that), the rest is easy, even on lunatic.

Chuckolator · « **Reply #568 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:14:10 AM »

Doesn't that only work on lunatic because of Murasa's speed in teleporting?

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #569 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:31:36 AM »

I played it on normal for the first time in ages and, oops, you're right. However, the same basic strategy still applies. Here's a NDNB run of the stage:
