Zil: saw the youtube (via feed), logged on here to say holy fuck congrats. That Reimu fight, especially. Just... goddamn.
I know I should leave it at that, since this is your day, but I have a few nagging questions... especially since after reading in the video description how you've learned so much more about the game.
-Two or three times, it seemed like you intentionally held a lvl4 for a while instead of immediately releasing it for a boss reversal. Is there a scoring quirk there?
-Against Marisa's boss attack that fans out in two waves, you dodge toward the outside. Why not take the first gap to the side of under-center? Too confining if other bullets coincide with the attack?
-With remaining lives against Yumemi... what are your thoughts on suiciding for score? 1mil is so small for a remaining life bonus, and if the ai's spent a while at half a heart - to where you get that feeling that it's about to go down - it seems like it'd be better to suicide and play another round. Surely too crazy of a risk with Chiyuri and probably even Kana, and it'd be kind of silly with Yumemi and probably Reimu and Rikako (though scoring with ai-killers is kind of silly to begin with), but otherwise... well, I'm curious what you think and if you've toyed with this.
-How can you play a game for so long and with so much love and still use an emu that abuses the music? My heart weeps.
By the way: crosses hiding bullets, effectively ending the potential no-miss run, is total and complete ass. So close; you're going to get it eventually, without a doubt. Especially when even facing Chiyuri must be so easy for you now, since you just sat there and took a laser up the butt so you could live a little on the edge and give yourself at least the semblance of a challenge. [sorry, I had to; it was too funny.]
edit: caught up with the past three weeks of hs and rage threads... seconding Lepetit.
unrelated: i got a kick out of that pofv reply. no edit is safe, no matter how old!
