This card is such bullshit.

I can reliably destroy Nue and 1'cc SA with 4+ lives

But I can't capture this piece of shit--and bombing only makes it WORSE. I can reliably capture every card and non-card Byakuren throws at me, but this shit is just stupid as all hell.

Navigating in and out of the circles is easy to a point but then the circles overlap too intensely and there are no visible openings.

Videos of card captures depict what my eyes can perceive only as random movement that "luckily" results in them not being hit.

In this thread let's talk about bullshit spell cards and how to beat them.

I can help with most of the post 98 cards (that aren't flying fantastica).

It's time for another generic question. (Not gunna anymore though)

So what have we accomplished in the world of Touhou that we're proud of. I recently beat UFO on normal which I was pleased with.

Let's discuss the one spell you have the most difficulty capturing. Perhaps you've never even captured it.

For me it's definitely Byakuren's legendary flying saucer, her final card. Even the DS equivalent of it is insane.

The bullets rotate direction, speed up, and shift between increasing and decreasing their distance from one another. I've probably seen it thirty times but only captured it once.

Nearly every card in the game can be manipulated by the player's movement or is static and thus an amount of practice can be used in brute forcing your mind to memorize exactly where to go when.

Getting more lives and bombs entails collecting specifically colored UFOs, which can often get you killed or force you to bomb, negating the positive. Hardest collection system check.

Cards feature more instances of multiple danmaku types (lasers, set path, homing), some include as many as 4. Most complicated danmaku check.

Curving lasers with collision boxes bigger than they are (a first in Touhou). Most bullshit check.

Byakuren's card on Hard and Lunatic is completely, totally impossible to capture. I have yet to see anyone even survive the last phase 5 seconds. Getting by on one death or a couple survival bombs (which don't damage her, since last card). Most bullshit double check.

ZUN really turned the difficulty up since MoF. SA was hard, UFO is easily the hardest in the series.

Well, fuck me, Lunatic on UFO may be the hardest to date.

Is it even remotely possible to capture Legendary Flying Saucer? I saw an impenetrable wall most of the time at the end.
