PCB Phantasm, I got a game over right before Yukari's last spell today using ReimuA, then I wanted to try with SakuyaA but remembered that in order to unlock the shot types to be used in Phantasm you had to beat Extra with them first, it went fine.

>goal?
Defeat Junko with only one bomb left.
I finally reached her in pointdevice normal with Sanae and I'm stuck in Trembling, Shivering Star.
Her attacks are all over the place: Lillies of Murderous Intent is harder than Divine Spirit World (easiest spellcard I believe) yet the following non-spell, that where bullets bounce, is harder than Lillies.
I will probably need to restart my run. I'm 99.9% sure at this rate I'm going to timeout her last spellcard.

Here's a corner hug for the early bulletspam.
https://my.mixtape.moe/ioqqzh.mp4
If you cleared the star lines on the most bottom lane, then being in the very middle (gotta be pretty precise here) will make you safe for the wave after.
https://my.mixtape.moe/fmvkqe.mp4
Start with corner hugging, move up a little after the explosions near that corner happen, then move back into the corner before the waves finish.

If you're having trouble hitting the score extends you could also just do this: https://youtu.be/9_iqjwAoM48?t=101
Though this will turn 2 of the lives into bombs so it's up to you. Might not work with all shots.

Dodge smart, not hard.

Good to know. i've done a couple runs of MoF, but found myself getting frustrated at it fast, maybe because I got so close to getting a 1cc, only for Kanako to pound me into the ground.

Maybe it's just because I took a short break and need to get back into the swing of things, but I find myself getting hit by things when I should know better, and I completely blank on how to dodge some of the spell cards and the majority of Sanae's fight.

>> No.17931968

>>17931905
For MoF don't be afraid of bombing, you can easily recover your power level, then for Kanako she is tough, I recommend watching a no miss no bomb replay of her fight so you know what to do on some spells and nons, her final spellcard is also mean and I think it's the spell I have game overed the most in 2hu, but once you get there with a fair ammount of lives you should be able to beat her, just remember that sometimes you have to release your focus key for a sec.

Play with Reimu and use either spring or summer release, spring can clear many bullets in the screen, summer is smaller but it can be used a lot as it only consumes 1 point out of your season metter, you should use them as much as you can. Also this game gives you a fuckton of resources.

Kinda have two going right now, UFO Extra stage and 1cc HSiFS Normal. UFO Extra really is brutal on the stage segment, but even when I get a good run going, Nue's Undefined Darkness usually chews through the resources I have left.
I also find it really annoying how most of Nue's spells are really easy with full power being able to destroy her ufo's quickly, but if you slip up and die earlier in the fight, those ufo spellcards get significantly more difficult.
As for HSiSF, I'm really just at the point where I need to condition myself to bomb more often before I lose my stockpile to a Stage 4 death. The stage segments beyond Stage 3 are really are rough in this game, I thought people were saying it was an easier entry.

Petición and Balas are the correct translations for Request and Bullet so it should have been those assuming the English translation is already 100% correct. I really have no idea where Tarea and Orbes could have come from, unless the name was so long that the game couldn't display it, and they had to trim it any way they could.

The real problem with that screenshot is that whoever handled the HUD didn't double-check and the "N° de 点" item is cut off. Not a huge deal but somebody should have noticed that.

I ran a quick check on Kaguya-hime spanish translations and they seem to use "Petición", "Objeto" and "Tarea". I assume "objeto" is loose translation and the other two are Kanji fuckery. no idea for "orbes", which has the same ammount of characters than "balas". The "N° de 点" item being cut off is definitely a fuckup but I don't think it's grounds to dismiss a free, unprofessional translation as a clustefuck.

I'm using Yuyuko and Youmu team in IN, but i find youmu's speed uncontrollable. Since Youmu deals at least twice the damage Yuyuko does, you have to be unfocused constantly which makes dodging and dealing damage impossible. Could someone explain how you are supposed to play this team efficiently?

Aside from "git gud"? You can often hug the bottom of the screen and move diagonally backwards instead of just left and right, which will cut your speed a bit without focusing. You can also practice quickly focusing and unfocusing while dodging, or just try to get used to Youmu's speed. Though sometimes you do have to grit your teeth and dodge through certain attacks for ages with Yuyuko.

Yuyuko obliterates stages, Youmu obliterates certain bosses. Use Youmu for things like Marisa's final non-spell, Wriggle's everything, most of Mystia, to destroy Keine's familiars, but if shit's piling up and you think you might get hit, switch to Yuyuko. Don't be afraid to use Youmu's bomb as that shits out damage and destroys familiars. Certain areas you can shotgun the boss (like Reisen's second to last spell) with Yuyuko. You can't just go unfocused for stages and focused for bosses, you have to mix the two. Some spell cards you'll need to unfocus, sometimes you need to focus. Cards like Keine's are significantly easier when you use Youmu, as you can destroy her familiars and cripple the spell entirely. The team takes a bit of work to get used to though so try practicing a few cards.

Since the game never specifies any particular input method, I suppose not, "technically". However, I doubt it would even help.

I'm mildly OCD about a (near) perfect start, since it's so easy to just go through 20 seconds and get that bomb piece back, so I might as well. I'm not doing the scoring strat of 6 items before Cirno though. This doesn't really end too many of my runs either; I just use the first spellcard of any game as a rough indicator of number of attempts. It's also somewhat inflated because I had to relearn tailspin.
Unfortunately that OCD extends into "if I die at all before Kagerou I might as well restart since I'll probably need that life", which is the real time waster but a necessary evil I think. I do stage runs once in a while to keep fresh of the later stages too so I think I'm okay though I usually end up fucking up a lot anyway.
I'll get this eventually. I hope.

So I've set up SpoilerAL for EoSD practice but how do you actually use it? From what I see you can use it to freeze the timer and make yourself invincible. That way you can train just dodging the spell as long as you like but you can't shoot. That already is bothering me a bit as I need to get used to not shooting all the time. It seems there also isn't really a way to get to the spell you'd like to practice or anything. You just need to slug through the stage till you reach that point. I wonder if I am doing the most efficient thing here is all.

You can use the bottom of the screen to find the boss, but it'd require a stupid amount of memorization for some of the attacks.

>for some of the attacks.
That's what bombs are for.
The memorization just happens normally from experience. Depending on the game it can range from "not that bad" to nightmare. I knocked out MoF in one credit but I doubt I'll be doing it for LoLK any time soon, for example.

If you have problems with a spell just bomb through it. IN throws resources at you like candy so no need to feel bad about bombing. You should also practice bombing before getting hit since other games don't have a giant deathbomb window (except maybe PCB Reimu).

DDC has really poorly balanced shot types which either make the game far easier or far harder than it would be otherwise. I don't find the patterns very fun but other people might enjoy them.

LoLK has a graze gimmick with some insanely strong bombs that let you abuse the hell out of it for tons of resources. Shot types are all good except for Marisa who is arguably at her worst in this game. The difficulty balancing is all over the place with random early bosses having somewhat awful spells on higher difficulties and the stage 4 boss being a complete joke in comparison to every other fight.

HSiFS has a pseudo-bomb mechanic which is used to increase piv and can cheese a lot of patterns. Four playable characters and each one can choose any of the four shot types, so you have a fair amount of options to find which suits you the most.

I think the spell is a good way to teach you to "believe" in a pattern. Sometimes patterns can be dense and or fast as fuck but as long as you have a strategy and just trust it, you can pretty much do it blind.
Digging up one of my posts from about a month ago, all you need to do here is find a gap and tap left right left right. The same rhythm will work every wave, every time, all the time.

If I have 2 lives left but 0 bombs after clearing TD, will I still get the parallel endings?

No you need three bombs.

I fucking hate the fighting game, how do I get good at them?
I just want to see the dialogues

i 1cc'd cirno 12.3 normal and hard by finding one combo that consistently worked and using that one card that lets you do more damage (but makes you take more damage)

i dont know how the other fighting games are, but once you figure out when to graze the bullets, it's pretty easy

Throw them in the fucking bin and just read the transcriptions instead; you shouldn't give a shit about "earning" the story from Trashofro. All the dialogue is on the wiki, I'm sure the endings aren't too hard to find either.

Which is harder, SA or GFW?

>> No.17992767

Yeah, the more restarts the better

On Normal, definitely Fairy Was by a long shot. Probably the reverse for Lunatic, but I wouldn't know firsthand.

GFW needs more precise routing and memorization, but the game's about half as long.
SA allows more flexibility with routes, hands out bombs(power) for free during some stage portions, and gets way easier the more you memorize, but it's a full length game.
Which is harder? Play them and decide for yourself.
Fuck Yamame by the way her first non is complete rng trash.
