Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 5

[Neovereign]

> Warp five feet to the left and, if we are not immediately put into danger and are capable of doing so without interrupting our current spell card, fire off some more icicles at Marisa.

> In order to warp, you would need to cancel your spellcard, as warping isn't normally a part of what it details.

[Kilgamayan]

> D:
> Regular-fly to the left, then. This includes stopping our forward momentum.

[AzyWng]

>Let's include the icicle-firing as well, as long as it doesn't cancel the spellcard.

[Neovereign]

> D:
> Regular-fly to the left, then. This includes stopping our forward momentum.

> You start flying to the left, until-
> "MASTER SPAAAAAARRRRK!!!"
> There's an intense heat on your entire body as the large laser spans across the whole area, annihilating the danmaku heading for Marisa. It seems you've almost reached the side and escaped it's horizontal range, but were still caught. You haven't died yet, likely due to the spellcard, but your spellcard will break in moment if nothing else happens.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Ponder what would happen if we die fused.
>And where would we even respawn if nothing bad happens when we die? Since the component fairies have their own spawnpoints, and Cirno can spawn can spawn close to where she died.

[Kilgamayan]

> Worry about that shit later! Left, left, left!

[Monarda]

>Endure the pain, pain goes away.
>Head out of the beam's range ASAP.
>If successful: "That was a nice one.... but you're gonna have to do better than that ! Miss Marisa !"
>Recover battle stance.

>Endure the pain, pain goes away.
>Head out of the beam's range ASAP.

> You start flying left to escape the laser as quickly as you can. Your spellcard breaks, and the laser hits you some before you completely leave it's range.
> Your body hurts a lot right now.

>If successful: "That was a nice one.... but you're gonna have to do better than that ! Miss Marisa !"
>Recover battle stance.

> "Survived it huh." Marisa says, cancelling out of her spellcard. "Ah well, two more tries of that."
> You get yourself back into gear as much as possible.
> There's no danmaku on the field anymore. You've used 1 of your 5 spellcards (Sunny's). You still have 3 bombs. Marisa has used 2 of her 5 spellcards, one of them being shown as her bomb; Love Sign "Master Spark", and has 2 bombs left.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> She canceled it out but said she had 'two more tries' of that? Is she referring to bombs in general, or does she get to use Master Spark twice more even though she canceled it?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>What's our bomb?
>Recall the mechanics of bombs.

[Neovereign]

> She canceled it out but said she had 'two more tries' of that? Is she referring to bombs in general, or does she get to use Master Spark twice more even though she canceled it?

> She is referring to her bombs.

>What's our bomb?
>Recall the mechanics of bombs.

> Your bomb is the spellcard Freeze Sign "Perfect Freeze"
> Said spellcard could be used once as a regular spellcard, and thrice as a bomb. Bombs are shorter and used for clearing bullets out of the way or other troublesome situations.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>So, we can use if four times total? Or is using it as a regular spellcard as opposed to a bomb mutually exclusive?

[Neovereign]

>So, we can use if four times total? Or is using it as a regular spellcard as opposed to a bomb mutually exclusive?

> You can use it for times total. Thrice as a bomb, as well as once as a spellcard. Both versions usually differ slightly.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> So this means Marisa has not properly used Master Spark as a spellcard, only as a bomb? Sorry for the repeated questioning about this, I just want to make sure I know exactly what's going on.

[Neovereign]

> So this means Marisa has not properly used Master Spark as a spellcard, only as a bomb? Sorry for the repeated questioning about this, I just want to make sure I know exactly what's going on.

> Correct.
//That's better. Wouldn't want you guys to be struggling more than you need to on this.

[Kilgamayan]

> All right, I got it now.
> Marisa is not currently outputting any bullets, is she?
> How far apart are we?

[Neovereign]

> All right, I got it now.
> Marisa is not currently outputting any bullets, is she?
> How far apart are we?

> She is not.
> Marisa is still on the edge of the Arena. You're not too far from Marisa and also to the left of her (your left).
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Put on a look of concentration, and fire several icicles to our right. Once we've fired off a few, warp as many as we can to Marisa's right (our left) lines up with Marisa so they are flying right at her.

> Put on a look of concentration, and fire several icicles to our right. Once we've fired off a few, warp as many as we can to Marisa's right (our left) lines up with Marisa so they are flying right at her.

> You fire several icicles to the right of you. Marisa's eyes focus on them.
> You warp around 20 of them to Marisa's right, and they do the quick pause that warping causes.
> "Where were you aimi-ugh!" Marisa gets hit directly by almost every single icicle you warped.
> "Crap, forgot you could do that." Marisa says, regaining her balance and starts flying towards the other side of the stage, her eyes locked on you for any other moves.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Hehehe ! Yea, even though i can't beat you in power, i can use the power of math to beat you !"
>Stay aware.

[Kilgamayan]

> Fire some icicles off to our left this time, and then warp them to Marisa's left (our right) so they pass juuuust in front of her rather than being pointed right at her.

> "We'll see about that." Marisa says.
> You shoot more icicles to your left and warp them over to Marisa's left. Marisa turns her head in order to look around for any danmaku, and spots your icicles a bit too late, getting hit by a few of them in her dodge.
> "Alright, alright, maybe I underestimated you." Marisa reaches what could be considered the center of the arena and summons 5 magic circles that move out some distance. The circles them start to orbit Marisa, going counter-clockwise around her. "Maybe."

[Kilgamayan]

> Are they familiars or multi-colored orbs?

[Neovereign]

> Are they familiars or multi-colored orbs?

> They appear more like the former.
>_

[AzyWng]

> Are they familiars or multi-colored orbs?

//Only Reimu can use "Fantasy Heaven".
I think.
I'd wait and see what the familiars do, but if you folks wanna try something first...

[Nefer007]

// If I recall, an attack with four or five orbs was her That One Attack back in Story of Eastern Wonderland...

> Hold 'Shift'
> Shoot those orbs out of the sky
> [Cirno]: I don't think I've seen this one before.

> You start to focus, making your shots closer together for more damage and having slower but more precise movement.
> You start firing at the circles, and your bullets pass right through them. Marisa makes slight effort to dodge the ones near her.
> The magic circles start to fire tiny stars behind them as they fly around. Each one is shooting stars of a certain color, and in only a couple of seconds, there is a large circle of danmaku around Marisa. Some of the shots start heading your way. It's nothing to worry about yet, but it's really dense, yet very colorful...

[AzyWng]

>Are there any gaps in the cloud of bullets we can reach through?
>How big is our hitbox? We should be able to sense our hitbox now that we're focused.
>How good are we at deathbombing/counterbombing?

[Neovereign]

>Are there any gaps in the cloud of bullets we can reach through?

> There are no gaps within the bullet spread in which you can get past the magic circles. There are small gaps between the stars, and they disperse more if you're further away. Dodging would require keeping your eyes on the many stars curving right, left, and the ones going relatively straight.

>How big is our hitbox? We should be able to sense our hitbox now that we're focused.

> Your hitbox is in the center of your body, near your chest. It's of fair size, bigger than a normal fairy's hitbox would be, but that's because you're Marisa's size.

>How good are we at deathbombing/counterbombing?

> The only one in you with experience of deathbombing is Cirno. Well, not deathbombing, as it's usually a bit early... In short, your deathbombing skills aren't very good, and you're likely to waste a bomb even though you'd probably be safe.

[AzyWng]

//In my own experience with Touhou, I find it's better to bomb early than it is to lose a life. You'll get a few bombs anyway when you take a hit, right? Or at least, your bomb counter resets.
Except in UFO, I think.
Not that I've a whole lot of experience with Touhou, considering that I can't get to Seija in DDC (w/o using continues), have only barely survived Patchouli in EoSD (w/o using continues again), haven't been able to get past Parsee in SA (again, without using continues), and so on and so forth.
