I don't know if this is true, but based on what I re-read on your post in DoctorShanks' Palette and Unit Setups thread, do you have a 4-slot Mobius Plate...?
You know what sucks? I was thinking back to how long-winded my explanation of my HUcast playstyle is, and how long I sometimes make my English essays in real life.
Because recently at school, I had to do a sample essay outline for an English course, and ended up making many of my sentences way too long for an essay outline. >_>
Aside from that, I somehow don't feel like there was too much to the revival today. It just doesn't feel like even 15 players participated (unless that's normal, considering this was my first revival). Especially when nothing too special happened in terms of rare drops.
I agree that TD's Extra stage is very fun. I still have to beat it. The farthest I have gotten was her survival card, but I think I can beat it. Other than that, it does have that unexplainable sub-par-ness. I was also disappointed with the Overdrive spellcards. Also, I really hate Yoshika's Score Desire Eater. It's an incredibly stupid spellcard. I used to try and steal the spirits, but I couldn't stand running into anything and decided to time-out the card everytime.
Also, UFO did have its good points. Without criticizing the difficulty, the game is sometimes fun, the music is quite awesome, and I really like Captain Murasa and Byakuren. But for Shou...
Hehe, reminds me when I asked DoctorShanks on what it would be like if Arkzeins could fire (curving) lasers... >_>
Ugh, SA and UFO. Those games are stupid hard. (Although I like SA for its simple gimmick and some of the boss fights are more fun)
UFO was probably my least favorite Windows Touhou game so far. I find it that on Lunatic, some of the attacks from bosses and enemies are either outrageously hard or just not possible (like in some parts of Stage 3) without either a lot of luck, skill, or those UFOs. Speaking of which, I feel the UFO gimmick is the worst part of the game (and my least favorite gimmick in all Windows Touhou games so far), since they are required for clearing the screen of bullets and getting extra lives/bombs. And if you miss them or fail to shoot one down, then it becomes extremely punishing in the end.
My personal favorites are between PoFV and IN. I also really like Fairy Wars in fact. =/
One more thing: I do agree Marisa is freaking hard. Some of her spellcards are like...ugh. Especially Big Crunch, Open Universe, and that raining silver ball spellcard. Even her nonspells are difficult and downright ridiculous...
Almost captured Fairy Extermination Ray though. It's somehow easier than it looks.
Hmm...good question. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I have 1cc'ed Lunatic on another Windows Touhou game other than on Fairy Wars. I think the closest I have been on 1ccing a game on lunatic was on Mountain of Faith. I really hate some of Kanako's spellcards, like her second one. I can't beat that spellcard unless it's on easy mode. Either than that, I can 1cc a few games on Hard.
Honestly, that's quite an accomplishment to have beaten Phantasm mode. The farthest I have made it to on there is Yukari Spiriting Away.
As for Fairy Wars, I have 1cc'ed all routes on Lunatic at least once, as well as Extra mode. The game is hard as crap, but it motivated me (hehe, motivation) enough that I had to try and beat them all without continuing, and thus I persisted in doing so. Took me weeks of practice. 1cc'ing them on Normal is hard enough...
Wait a minute...did you say that you beat all of the non-PC-98 Extra stages...(except Fairy Wars)?
If that includes PCB's Phantasm Stage, then already, you're better than me. I can't even beat Ran, Yukari, Koishi, Mamizou, or Flandre, and after beating Mokou (and unlocking Imperishable Shooting), I thought she was one of the hardest extra bosses ever...
...though I did beat Nue and Marisa (Fairy Wars)... (I have beaten Suwako, but I'm not counting that because I used Marisa B and cheated)
Yes I am! I've played every game in the series from 2-13 excluding the fighting games.
The game I usually play tne most is PoFV. Me and Ken try to play it together whenever we can. If you want some replays, then I'm sure I can try to send you some of mine. I suck at touhou.
I'm one of those guys who was upset when Mima didn't come back in Ten Desires. I couldn't care less about Byakuren stealing Shinki's spotlight though
Also, just for fun in PSZ... whenever we see a gun trap that aims at us, our minds temporarily convert to "Touhou mode." Yes, we have fun "streaming" the gun traps like as if we're dodging Daiyousei (EoSD stage 2 midboss).
About the "Mind button" thing me and DoctorShanks were talking about: it is some stupid and possibly mythological theory that I have invented where the good, lucky things in some video games MOST often tend not to occur if you ever thought about its occurrence (you can't even think about it and then deny you thought about it). It is also followed by another myth I call the "Word Button," where the same thing applies, but only is more likely than the "Mind Button" to prevent the occurrence of the event. Note that this does NOT always apply.
For example, did you even think about getting that N-Tathlam in that one Paru run?
Hey eclipse, you mentioned before that you were interested in my zero cane and I still don't have that radam soul i was looking for. Here's my proposition:
Hows about i give you my zero cane in exchange for two items: Radam soul and your pp recovery lv 4. I am a hucast and have no need for such an item, so whadaya say? (i will also post this on your trade post as well)
Well really, all I think a HUcast needs is a good sword and a good gun. They're stats and mags is what really sets them apart from the rest. But this is just my opinion.
