I'm not exactly raging, but I'm playing TD Lunatic and the life system in is more unforgiving than I'm used to. Making a mistake in the wrong place can cost more than one life, it seems like, because without trancing the game only gives three extends and when you die, so does your trance gauge. When I did the Hard 1cc last year it wasn't much of an issue because I found the patterns easy-ish. Also Yoshika is a huge pain, in both of her appearances during the game. I can capture all spells in spell practice and I've memorized the stages so the 1cc is probably going to happen before too long. i hope

I can't even remember the last time I raged this much.

Playing IaMP with Yuyuko, it's going well until Suika. The different timing during the second Spellcard throws me off completely and I get stomped on (literally). During the third Spellcard, my controller stops working, because I hate wireless hardware, that's why. I can't even pause the game because I'm playing on my laptop which has only two USB-slots. Since it's connected to my monitor, I keep the laptop shut and, having to plug in the controller, I unplugged the keyboard. Didn't think far enough to use the laptop's keyboard, but the controller started working again after some time. Then, during the last Spellcard, I notice that I don't know any attacks from below I can use with Yuyuko, so I wind up losing, having gone into the battle almost untouched.

I was desperately trying to vent my rage, but deep down I knew that I couldn't destroy the controller, lest I reduce its value. I eventually decided that stomping on my bed would be a preferable course of action, destroying some of its inner frame in the process. My sister telling me to "grow up" and that "it's just a game" didn't help matters either, but fortunately, I had already calmed down enough to politely explain that I may have lost my temper a little.

Truth be told, it was unsightly and I am ashamed of myself.

Edit: Now I feel like I can move on with my life, gave it another go and destroyed Suika. Good thing, last time, I didn't have enough resources to gather the courage to try jump-attacks, even though I had used them before.

Can Reimu's Last Spell go die in a fire, please? It's literally the only thing holding me back from a perfect Stage 4A.

Omfg, Mystia's last non has probably been the cause of more than half of my restarts recently. Regardless of where I choose to slip through the green bullets, there's always that 1 blue ball that flies at me and I can never get out of its way. I'm pretty sure today alone I've restarted once to Venomous Moth's Dark Dance, once to Keine's 1st non, once to Ephemerality 137 and 5-6 times to Mystia's last non. That Ephemerality run got so lucky on that non anyway, my hitbox got covered about 3 times...

I honestly feel as though SA has no deathbomb time, even with Vpatch  :ohdear: (Playing as Marisa B on Hard)

1CC all 2hu on normal: All clear!
1CC all 2hu on hard: LLS, EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF
Clear all extras: EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA

Wow. For some reason MoF Hard Stage 1 is brutal to me. Especially in comparison to how comparatively easy IN Hard was.

I believe I am 3/15 for Minoriko's first card captures. Why does that card magically trip me up so much?! It's just Stage 1! I have the rest of the stage down to a science! Yet for some reason I just can't consistently get past her first card. Is there some sort of trick I'm just not seeing? Or am I just bad/having consistent bad days for touhou?

^Haha, same here :3 Mof Stage 1 on Hard punched me hard in the past, and it's still among the most difficult Stage 1's for me (at least on Hard mode). I think her first card is about misdirecting the yellow balls while trying to find an opening.

Update: Kanako just utterly crushed me with her first few spellcards on my best run :V Time to look for a good 1cc replay I guess. Playing on Hard btw.

Why does it seem like I'm dying more often on the stage portion before Kaguya than on Kaguya herself? Even after all this time, even after memorizing what Eirin's nonspell looks like, it still sucks to play. -.-

The smaller bullets make up two alternating patterns. I forget if they're truly static or if they can be oriented differently, but you can learn how to spot the openings and then move to them as you avoid the aimed bullets. In fact, the card functions pretty much the same on Lunatic, so if you take the time to learn it here, you're all set!

IN LNBs:
Run 1: Stage 4B: Dies to Marisa's 2nd non, "Fuck that, restarting."
Run 2: Stage 4B: 2 deaths to Double Spark. "Ffs *insert much colourful profanity."
...
...
...
Run 3: Technically LNN. No death, no bomb, but failed Kaguya's 4th last spell. I was quite honestly expecting it, I've been failing it a lot because I have basically no room for panic. Misread one of the blue lines and got hit. Personally, I'm still considering this 1MNB because failing last spells is still getting hit. Oh well. It's improvement and I'll take it.

Why am I dying on Phoenix Tail left and right now? This is not a hard attack. I feel like I'm just psyching myself out every time because I'm already thinking ahead to the eighth nonspell. -.-

Nicely done! You'll do it soon, I'm sure :)

As for why I posted here...
On my MOF NNB, some of the fairies that shoot the blue bubbles right before Momiji fired RIGHT before they exited the screen... they've never done that before, and I ended up dying because of it.

My no-death RSS run turned into a three-death run at the last boss :ohdear:

I thought about settling for it but then I took two hits on the last part of the last boss's spell...

The game gives you a lot of bombs, but so many of them go into what feel like luck-based attacks.

Well, at least that was a full stage further in than my previous no-death record.  If I just keep trying...

I - HATE - Q.E.D.

That's all there is to it. I've been trying to perfect EoSD Extra for 1 month and i still can't capture Q.E.D. When she reach low life it becomes nightmarish, too much crossfire.

And just a few minutes ago i died when there were at most 5 millimeters left of life  :colonveeplusalpha:

Keep in mind that grazing bullets fills the gauge in the lower left corner and having that gauge full lets you autocollect items. Considering that lots of stages have streaming sections or other convenient grazes, you can use that instead of PoCing without too much risk.

Dear Hisoutensoku Aya AI: Eat a bag of dicks. No, seriously, Aya. I hate you. This is literally the only point where I fucking HATE you. You're difficult in MoF but still fun. I like the photography games.

But trying to beat the fuck out of Aya with Yuyuko, even when fighting against an AI (Luna), is like a turtle trying to out-maneuver a hare that's fully aware of what he's doing.
My profile picture is whimsy until I feel like adding something else.

May I ask, are you playing on easy mode?
PCB has one of the hardest easy modes in the series for some strange reason.
It's got an average normal/hard mode however, and its lunatic mode is one of the easiest.
That would explain why people think PCB is 'easy' yet you think it's 'hard'. That being said, difficulty is relative.

Also, screw you High-Sensitivity Nazrin Pendulum. Why does UFO hard need to be so much harder then the other hard modes? :V
