I came really close to the end this time. Yukari's 10th card is as bad as I feared. I wasted too much time by bombing to survive, and got to the 30 second mark where she starts flinging aimed butterfly waves. That did me in. If I was able to survive for about 20 more seconds, I could have beaten it with no problem (I'll have no problem whatsoever with her last spell card.) Either way, I had a lot of fun with this run.

I feel that I'm underestimating how powerful Reimu B's cherry rate is and should continue firing unfocused instead of focusing through the rest of a phase to activate a border where I want it.

[Momijitsuki]

Updated.

[moozooh]

I felt like improving my score, and got this within a few attempts. This is one of the few runs I'm not completely embarrassed with, even though it does contain some bad fuckups score-wise. On the other hand, it has some impressive handshake dodging in stage 6. :P

Hard:

Next stop: billion on Normal mode.

[Heartbeam]

Very nice to see you scoring again for games in this series! Not that I've been keeping close tabs on your submissions.

And a question: Who are you waiting on for the replay template discussion under the High Score page? I'm eager to see it added soon.

[moozooh]

There is that other guy who created the score page. He is constantly updating the board together with me under various IPs, usually covering stuff I miss, mess up, or take too long to update. I think he operates under the name "Anonymizer" nowadays.

Less than 50% spell capture rate . I lack the confidence and skill to win a 1CC on a whim. Better safe than sorry for the time being. Missing on Spring Kyoto Dolls was a terrible mistake. A whole lot easier to memorize than Benevolent Orléans Dolls. As for everything else, if I have bombs in stock I'm not trying.

[Momijitsuki]

Welcome to Shmups Forum and the Perfect Cherry Blossom scoreboard, Bliu.

Updated.

[Bliu]

Thanks. Here's hoping to get some more high scores up there. Who knows, maybe I'll even usurp Heartbeam some day...

Yeah, like that'll ever happen.

[Heartbeam]

It's a lot sooner than what your post expresses. That was a very nice boss battle and if you work on the border timings for the stage as well as the boss then it'll definitely beat the Marisa A score I have.

[Momijitsuki]

With practice comes improvement. I bet if I really push myself, I'll even become better than the lousy player I am.

Finally finished all the Touhou games on easy
Now I can go practice on normal =P Which one is the easiest?

[ncp]

mountain of faith. more bomb spam than you can wrap your brain around

but none of them are particularly hard on normal

[Momijitsuki]

Definitely Mountain of Faith, aside from that bitch of a final spell card. Ugh.

Updated.

You don't think I'm used to it by now? xD

Every time I get an email popup saying that there's a new post in here, I immediately think 'there's Heartbeam with more scores, setting the bar impossibly high for the rest of us!'

Seriously though, good job.
