Phantasmagoria isn't really standard. It's a vs.s shmup like Twinkle Star Sprites. It's also probably the hardest game in the Touhou series to just clear.

I guess I should maybe get the emulation set up again. Touhou's a week I'd actually consider playing. And I've never cleared PoDD Lunatic, or even Hard.

First credit.
I'm more surprised by the first statement than the second one.

Also, I can't stand this game. There is some fun to be had in the second loop, but that's why it annoys me so much that I have to play through the first one every time, and it annoys me even more that I can't loop the game consistently. Chaining is out of the fucking question, It's both too hard and not my cup of tea.

Minimal improvement, but not so embarrassing score.

May or may not improve this in the near-future. (Most likely the later.)

Carried maximum bonus until the stage 5 boss as planned, then dropped three bombs on the fucker because he sucks. Almost NMNB 1-6 stage portion but screwed up near the end. For this reason I didn't take any risks against the final attacks so i bombed it to oblivion :V

Second loop was just awful. Not that I'd expect much else from it since I haven't practiced it at all with this shot (and barely at all with A-L) so i was stuck with a slow moving ship but fast firing enemies so i got cornered often and cried :(

I also died with bombs in stock like three times, two of which where with a full bomb stock. Often accompanied by the words 'but i did bomb :('
I am such a bad player, can't even press the fucking bomb button :(

Dunno if i want to shoot more credits into this game, it's not being as fun as it initially felt and there's a couple of very special little girls that needs my attention in better games so this'll probably be it for me this week. Maybe not though, i might change my mind in case of shota invasion.

EDIT: Needs to learn to finish sentences before pressing submit.

I think I had a score of something like 36 or 38 million earlier in the week, but I didn't record it because I thought I could at least break 40 million. Er, not going well at the minute...

Stage 5 is a total bitch, probably worse than stage 6.

I thought I had a high enough hit counter to unlock the loop with 319. :?

It's 330 hits for type C. I don't remember the count needed for the other 2, but it's less than that.

Not the first time I see you talking this way, do you have really low self esteem or do you just like to make inferior players feel like shit ?

It's quite common for people of decent skill to think they are shit. It's a motivation factor. And compared to high-level scores, that score is shit and worse than that is abysmal :lol: If you take everything seriously, including such a comment like that, you're going to have a hard time.
