I just had my best two runs to date on PCB Extra. Perfected the stage portion each time, bringing my total up to four or five. On the first of said runs, I scored my first ever capture of Ran's fourth card, finally figured out a way to control her fifth (still haven't captured it, gotta work on execution), and gameovered on her sixth. In the second run, I played almost perfectly up until her fifth card, only dying once beforehand on her second because I still can't properly position myself for it. I fell apart spectacularly after that, but doing so well for so long (especially with the recent problems I've been having on her first card) really took me for a loop.
I moved on to SA right after that and proceeded to embarrass myself somewhat because I had somehow lost my ability to think while playing. Perhaps it's an accomplishment that I realized that at all? I tend to be pretty stubborn when grinding video games...
