I was doing so well. I had 5 lives, unheard of at my skill level. I was managing to use my bombs fairly well too, and didn't have any go to waste.

The Prismriver Trio gave me trouble and lost like 6 bombs to stupidity. But Youmu, oh Youmu... Her first non spellcard just messes with my head or something.

Someday, I will beat PCB without continuing. Not the 5 it normally takes on Normal lololol

As an aside, SakuyaA is really awesome, I hadn't tried it yet.

>> No.7232322

Sakuya A is pretty easy mode yeah, shouldn't take too much time with practice. Most people have more trouble with her non-spellcards, but I actually get destroyed by the spellcards. I still have the extra of this to beat but I'm not confident enough considering Chen annihilated me.

>Sakuya A

Do the same with Sakuya B and you'll gain my respect

>> No.7232324

FYI, the Prismrivers are easier on Hard/Lunatic than on Easy/Normal, and Sakuya has by far the hardest opener from them. Personally, I handle Youmu's first attack by using some sort of diagonal streaming.

>> No.7232327

her first nonspell you need to redirect. I fuck it up anyway, watch http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=13168 to get some ideas though

Trying to misdirect that attack is harder than dodging it, honestly, it's worthless.

>> No.7232333

Sakuya A is overrated. Sure, great at the skill-level of normal mode bombspam, but then people go on to try to beat Ran with her, when beating Ran is much easier with Sakuya B or Reimu B.

Youmu's noncard isn't even very hard once you find a method that keeps it from trapping you.

Redirecting is really easy, though. Go over to her right, swing around to her left, and remeber that she'll move left, then go down. No dodging required.

>> No.7232371

>>7232365
The overall speed of the bullets is affected by rank, but it is barely noticeable except when you die on max rank and suddenly the game feels slow. I'd say that Alice and the Prismrivers are the most affected by rank as some of their patterns change completely depending on it.

This thread motivated me to go and actually try 1CC'ing normal on PCB, since I'd never actually done it yet, I died on resurection butterfly my last try. Thanks OP, I owe this to you. Don't laugh at bomb and life stock, please.

I have it worse, my problem is that I can't figure out/memorize patterns, so it ends up being a dodge frenzy every time.

Naturally, Youmu's criss-crossing green yellow orbs are making me wish I had colour blindness.

Pic related, it's before losing 2 lives to Prismriver, 4 to Stage 5 Youmu before I raged and lost everything else.

When you say "can't" like that it makes it sound like you had an accident and had part of your brain removed to save your life but now you can't understand what shapes are anymore.

>>7232908
If there's a player penalty message when calculating the stage bonus then it's not on default settings. If you have max lives at that point without collecting the 450 point item extend then it's not on default settings.

>I don't think there's enough bombs to bomb through all of Youmu and Yuyuko...

You can have up to 60 bombs to spend with Sakuya with default starting lives. 46 for Reimu, 32 for Marisa.

>> No.7232947

>>7232932
Is there any good way to improve in deathbombing, or do you just have to practise more?
I'm managing to get to half of the Yuyuko now without much problems, but I only succeed with like 4-5 deathbombs per run.

Is that counting Cherry Bombing? Because you can't stockpile Cherry Bombs if you don't need them.

>> No.7232973

>>7232947
I don't know. I mostly die to things I didn't see coming or a slight error in positioning, which are both impossible for me to deathbomb. But I got better at feeling when I might die and doing it then.

keep practicing, eventually you should be able to deathbomb on reaction to the sound about half the time.

I dunno then, I guess. Everyone's brains are wired differently, but for me I can deathbomb without looking at my hitbox or seeing a bullet hit me when I hear the sound about half the time. Strangely enough, Im also not as good as you are, as I can only 1cc normal modes after much practice (extras are all just memorization, so those I can clear as well).

Fuck OP, I always thought I was among the worst people on /jp/ at Touhou, and even I've 1cc'd PCB on Normal, while really drunk at that. Good to know there's someone out there worse than me. I don't mean to discourage you though, keep trying and I'm sure you'll beat it soon.
