I... died to Rumia's first spell. Totally inexcusable no matter how rusty...

That's... pretty sad. First card on hard or normal? (AKA Moonlight Ray or Not-Moonlight Ray?)

Can't seem to do Patchouli with less than 2 deaths. I'm gonna take a break from LNB for a while.

Something about night bird on lunatic.
And I was even good enough to capture Emerald Megalith in the same run :derp:

How do you do this shit Zil

Do you literally memo every memo-able pattern

This is, like, what

So, I did a SA run on easy in front of my friend. It was an average run, it went pretty well. I end up reaching Utsuho with full power and 4 lives. This conversation ensues;

Friend: So, 4 lives is more than enough, right?
Me: Yeeaah... Utsuho is pretty tough though.
*a lot of perfectly cleared spellcards later*
Friend: Riiiiight. "Tough".
Me: ...Weird. It feels easier than usual.
*Hell's Tokamak begins*
*dies*
*dies*
*dies*
*dies*
Friend: ...
Me: Aah! THERE's the Utsuho I know!

Q.E.D. Hell's Tokamak is the worst thing ever made.

Okay fuck PC-98 in general if I'm going to have this horrible input lag plaguing me

Karisa · « **Reply #906 on:** January 31, 2013, 03:11:36 PM »

Did you set it up correctly? If you're using Anex86, you may get input lag with default settings. I did once I switched to this current computer (settings aren't transferred over apparently) until I checked this thread and made the change to the "wave" and "video" tabs.

Zil · « **Reply #907 on:** January 31, 2013, 03:54:00 PM »

Yeah, make sure you do that. In particular I think setting Sync = 1 is the most important. I find that while LLS and MS still have some input lag even after doing that, PoDD is completely lag free.

Well, at this point I pretty much have, but there aren't many of them. You need to know how to respond to certain things but it's nothing worse than what you'd have to do for any of the normal games. Don't give up!

Karisa · « **Reply #908 on:** January 31, 2013, 10:48:02 PM »

OK, I was trying to unlock UFO Normal stage 5 with MarisaB. I kept dying from MarisaB's higher unfocused speed, lower power, and unexpectedly short bomb length, and it's been a long time since I've played UFO Normal for survival, so I kept collecting blue tokens out of habit and barely summoning any red UFOs. Game over on stage 5, continued, another game over because I still kept dying and collecting blue tokens... and accidentally selected "Give Up and Retry", thinking it was stage practice or something.

No, don't bother offering me a score.dat, I prefer my gameplay to count towards my own spell histories.

Sync = 1 only synced the sound for me. It was the Wave tab that I'd forgotten about, and setting it to match the thread fixed the input lag.

Edit: A new post? I thought I clicked on "modify" before inserting that quote...

BT · « **Reply #910 on:** February 01, 2013, 11:30:46 AM »

I did change the settings. Only thing that varies is that in Window -> Draw I have to choose Full Screen but I doubt that's giving me problems.

Sakurei · « **Reply #911 on:** February 03, 2013, 02:32:08 AM »

I just couldn't do it ;_;

a stupid hit in the 2nd round ruined any real possibility of winning. I mean, I don't know how long you have to survive in the 2nd round, but I figure it's something like 4 minutes, so I was only halfway, but still. I swear one of these days I'll get this run. just you wait :V it will be my 2nd PoFV lunatic 1cc ever, too.

Sen · « **Reply #912 on:** February 03, 2013, 06:36:18 AM »

That moment when you're trying to figure out how to dodge Hina's midboss spellcard and a bullet flies into you because you're standing still :V

Elysia · « **Reply #913 on:** February 03, 2013, 09:40:23 AM »

So I just lost a perfect PCB Phantasm. No deaths, no bombs, one border break.

Said border break happened on...wait for it...

YUKARI'S SPIRITING AWAY. :fail:

At least the border break didn't happen at the forth nonspell. :V

Welp I actually managed to do as perfect of a scorerun of MoF Extra stage as I could get, and I decided to celebrate the occasion by dying once to Suwako's opener and once to her first card. The rest of Suwako went as well as you can expect. I came within 6 million points of the Nereid's MarisaC stage portion score too, which I think is pretty good, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Still irksome though.

Bang Jan · « **Reply #916 on:** February 04, 2013, 09:19:16 AM »

I died to Orin's opener. :colonveeplusalpha:

Not sure the best thread for this, but I'm filing it under "the game derped," so here we are.

I was just playing PCB/Stage 1/Normal for no good reason, and at the very start of the boss, the game played the timing out noise. I thought I'd imagined it, but I saved a replay and it shows up there too. Weird.

Bang Jan · « **Reply #919 on:** February 06, 2013, 06:33:20 PM »

I died twice to Danmaku Chimera. :fail:

Zork787 · « **Reply #920 on:** February 07, 2013, 09:49:11 AM »

Felt like having a practice run of Utsuho on Normal....

All the deaths....

:qq:

Reiko · « **Reply #921 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:49:25 PM »

I died to Patchouli's opener.
On Hard.
Twice.

Enough for today :V

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #922 on:** February 08, 2013, 01:53:53 AM »

Horrible, horrible TD stage 5 run with Sanae on normal. Lost like 2-3 lives. Still, somehow, cleared Miko. So idk. :getdown:

Sakurei · « **Reply #923 on:** February 09, 2013, 03:59:43 PM »

played some PoDD for a change. I played lunatic with chiyuri.

I game over'd on stage 3. what the, I don't even...

hilarious failures. there will probably more than just this one.

BT · « **Reply #924 on:** February 09, 2013, 04:05:03 PM »

That's standard fare for me

Had a run earlier today with Mima that lost 4 lives (game over) to Stage 5 Kotohime

Sakurei · « **Reply #925 on:** February 09, 2013, 04:14:20 PM »

yeah, from all my lunatic runs I've had until now, I noticed that game over'ing on early stages isn't something special to me. I just felt like sharing for once.

I don't know how Zil does this.

Zengeku · « **Reply #926 on:** February 09, 2013, 05:23:36 PM »

Lost a NMNB Byakuren to LFO. By dying to it three times. How embarassing, I've got this card down pretty okay but apparently not enough.

Validon98 · « **Reply #927 on:** February 10, 2013, 03:03:48 AM »

Doing fine in a Hard run of MoF with MarisaC... and then double KOed to midboss Sanae's first nonspell.
:colonveeplusalpha:

Reiko · « **Reply #928 on:** February 10, 2013, 10:38:50 PM »

Tried some PoFV Hard with Marisa.
>lost one life to stage 4 (what ?)
>lost one life to stage 6 (okay)
>lost 3 lives to stage 7.

I'm so good at this game.
Seems I can't play anything "seriously" these days. I always go "oh whatever, I don't care" after a few minutes. How frustrating.

Sakurei · « **Reply #929 on:** February 10, 2013, 10:53:41 PM »

Reiko, it's not _that_ unusual. the stage 4 death wa unfortunate and probably more of a one-time thing.

the stage 6 death is actually common and shouldn't be pondered about. you need to survive 2:30 minutes in the first round which is pretty tough.

now, stage 7 starts with 2:30 or 3:00 minutes to win. I have no idea, I never survived long enough for either :V and drops to around 2 minutes after the first death for round 2 and 3. if you don't play the game regularly, 2 minutes is a lot. and the dodging and stuff picks up from stage 7 onwards, too. unless I got ridiculously lucky, I never won against yuka (I play komachi, whose stage 7 is yuka) in the first round, for instance. if you play the game for a while, you'll find yourself reaching eiki pretty quickly. Komachi and eiki are pretty tough, though. so good luck.

that is all under the assumption that the K.O times are the same in hard, of course.
