So I decided to finally try completing Extra mode in PoFV after unlocking it months ago.
First 4 stages - No problem
Tewi - Got lucky but what the hey? :3
Marisa - God I hate your lasers :V
(At this point I had earned 3 extra lives)
Yuka - Lost two lives stupidly
So I'm thinking "I got two lives for two stages with 1m seperating me from another life. I GOT THIS!!"
Reimu - Stupid Spirit death,
THEN I FROZE >=O
What the **** man?
sorry for being off-topic (the moment I realized that this wasn' the general help thread, I've already made this
replay :p)
some thoughts:
- after a couple runs, I tried to focus on survival and to not try to raise my chain too fast (since then the replay would be even less helpful), and tried to keep my spirit gauge at lvl 3 at the start
- like normal runs, it's easy to regain spirit meter as long as you're chaining, and players who're used to the game's chaining and chain resetting can cancel enemy bosses more easily
- you didn't use the focus key much, which makes the spirits easier to destroy (though I don't know if you're not used with the red autodestruction bullets); dunno if you're also used to destroying fairies for cancelling normal bullets
- Sikieiki's timer started a bit over 120s, then as I died it went to around 45s, and then around 42s; at the third life on her, though, I thought about not chaining too much, because then it would give Sikieiki more bullets to chain, and then more EX black spiraling clouds for her to kill me with
(be patient and calm, and just survive those 42s, and watch as any of Komachi's enemies seem to die shortly after the Shot Chance warning appears
- your replay desynchs on Yuka, dunno if it does so on Reimu's stage..
