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.

Well, partly it's I'm getting killed by the large bullets like a tard, and partly that after so much stage practice your mind snaps and you have a bizarre and inexplicable desire to do really risky things because it won't be punished. In real runs, of course of course I will wait for it to cycle :3

I get to avert that whole problem by getting that first UFO...as a green.

To pull off my life path for St. 4 (well technically it's Coreven's) I need the opening token to be red. That will let me keep the red token from blue spam Mk. 1 on the screen, which enables me to end up with 4 life pieces and 2 red tokens by Nueball rather than 2 life pieces and 1 red token without getting red. Yeah, going to rainbow is both more badass and more fabulous but I am looking for a scrubby clear and this will help that.

Hahaha. Been there. Those large orbs are such dangerous bullets. But remember that on full runs you oughta not be too cautious either. It makes for slow movement, which can get you killed. Being confident with a touch of reckless is my creed.

My path gets me 2 2/3 bombs and 1 green UFO starting with 0 UFOs, and then I max out bombs in the second half. This lets me bomb through Murasa, then get another 4 bombs in Stage 5 to bomb through Shou. Ideally I have enough resources to not die through those 2 stages, but I can never not die to Stage 3. Several times.

I wouldn't worry about "needing" specific color ufos by stage four, RNG. You're better than me, and my ufo color-collection was always improvised by the end of stage three. Just don't be afraid to bomb the fuck out of stage four because you'll always come out ahead. And chances are that you'll get two ufos with a bomb rather than the zero you probably would have gotten by trying to dodge and letting ufo pieces escape (though I suppose that if you already have a route then you've probably already reached a balance with this).

RNG · « **Reply #576 on:** October 13, 2012, 10:53:32 PM »

The last blue spam section is doable without bombs but very very hard so I use two there to gather tokens. Otherwise, the rest of the stage is easy enough that barring RUNNING INTO THE FUCKING FAIRIES ON NUEBALL I can expect to NMNB it.

I died to Kanpukugu's second last nonspell before the grinders started grinding bullets. :colonveeplusalpha:

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

I randomly played a no-bombs run of Mamizou.

I failed it. What the fuck, how is this even possible?

Okay. Before you answer, let me just explain exactly what happened. First of I die to Scroll of Frolicking Animals. By running into the first set of green dogs.
Then another time on the non-spell after Wild Deserted Island. Wow
Then a third time on Stupid Miko - it's just a crappy memo card so I don't mind that too much.
And then game over on the survival because I'm too stupid to casually move up and down while dodging dogs.

What a silly day. Maybe that'll teach me not to play while sitting on a couch with the laptop on my lap. Because that's totally a valid excuse.

I just died to Danmaku Paranoia because I panicked and ran unfocused straight into the purple kunai. I'm so good at this game.

I really really really need to stop trying to capture Parasol Star Memories in actual runs. The low health alert is a siren song, tempting me towards a suicidal dash into the waves of bullets near Kogasa. Yes, I do this even when I have bombs.

I can't tell if you're joking about that or not. Don't you have to be like about two pixels under her hitbox and she can still buttslam you when she moves? NTY, I'd rather bomb.

You know you're having a bad night when the RNG during Mamizou's fourth card shits in your face and you don't compensate for the frogs' orientations suddenly becoming really awkward. *sigh*

There are quite a few pixels to move in. I'd say five, at least. And she can only tackle you if she's moved up and decides to move down, so if she has moved up, the instant she stops firing the barrage you just move a bit down to get out of the way, then get inside the safespot once she's moved wherever. It's really simple, actually. Completely worth it, you'll almost never fail it as long as you don't stop paying attention or something. It gets a bit harder with MarisaA, since her lasers pierce the umbrellas behind her and add some bullets to the mix, but it's completely doable. SanaeB destroys umbrellas all around, so with her it's not that viable.

Somehow I managed to screw up ALL of Kaguya's rush spells aside from Rising World.

I also managed to fail ALL of her spells but perfect Mid Eirin.

Pathetic.

Zengeku · « **Reply #586 on:** October 17, 2012, 12:04:20 AM »

Okay, i've got a boat full of bad performances that I'd like to share with you all.

I found myself playing Ten Desires, more specifically Mamizou because hey, why not? Tanuki with glasses are awesome. I died two times during the run. First was on the third spell, the first one with the red birds. That is in itself pretty pathetic, then I proceed to die on the final as well because I decided to stream the wrong way. Go figure.

Then I went and played IN Extra. Because nothing reassures my confidence in being able to dodge the final non-spell than fucking easy things up in Ten Desires. I deathbombed twice on the stage and failed the capture the death-fairy. Hold on, it get's better. I then proceeded to fuck up the third non-spell and the spellcard just before the last non-spell (the one with all the fireballs that's really easy).

When I then finally get to the last non-spell, I decided to time it out and died 5 fucking times across the 60 seconds it lasts. Pretty pathetic. What a wonderful day. :V

tl:dr - Died 5 times trying to pacify Mokou's final non-spell holy fucking shit. :blush:

Tsym · « **Reply #592 on:** October 20, 2012, 06:17:51 AM »

Tried to start a 1cc attempt for MarisaB in SA. I game over'd twice on Yamame and once on Parsee. None of my other runs have resulted in me surviving past Yamame. I still haven't seen Yuugi yet as MarisaB.

So to relax a bit, I decided to try SA extra. Alright cool I got a 1cc with ReimuB on my second attempt that got to Koishi. I can totally do ReimuC as well and finish off clearing SA extra with Reimu's shot types right?

Nope I proceeded to screw up Ember of Love and Genetics, costing me one life each, lost a life or two to Philosophy, then decided to lose all of my remaining lives to the third phase of Subterranean Rose. How did I do that?

Pacifying Alice. Dies three times to first spellcard.

Dies IRL of shame. :colonveeplusalpha: - Now's a good time to stop playing and do something else for a while.

I didn't do well at all today though so it's alright. I fought against Youmu four times and I only managed to capture her final spell 2 times despite it being so easy. I did at least get a 1-miss timeout of Hell God Sword so I guess that's something.

I'm having a hard time believing this. Especially, since you seem not to understand the logic behind Youmu's attacks, given how you said you're finding the final card really hard (it's not, even I can gain some consistency against it as long as I'm not highly paniced). Or maybe you are really fucking good (even T agrees that the first card was a bitch to time out, and he's pacified the entire stage), or the RNG was smiling. Who knows, I could be wrong, but do you have any replay or anything? That's somewhat of an achievement, really.
