What's the extra stage bug? I haven't made it that far yet. :p

Just like it happened with the demo (where you could beat Yuugi when she showed up and beat the stage without fighting her), here you can beat up Sanae in the same fashion and skip her fight... Oh, yes, Sanae shows up in Extra Stage. Sorry for the unannounced spoiler but I had no other way of explaining this bug.

In short: ZUN forgot to add a some sort of "with Pause" clause that stops the player from firing a second BEFORE the enemy character shows up... not after. Else it treats it as a regular popcorn enemy and hilarity ensues.

It's a conspiracy, Mulder!

You can use Aya to bypass Orin in stage 6 the same way either. And it's more profitable that way, too, because of the item dropping crows. I won't accept scores made that way, though, unless you don't mind them removed as soon as a patch comes out. :P

I already know Sanae is in it. Suwako also shows up in the end too (well, at least in a ReimuA playthrough). They're both welcome returning characters--- they were my favorite MoF characters.

... Is it really worth the risk?

I mean... it's not like bad stuff like super tentecle porn or futa?
If you can ignore it... yes. It's not bad in that field but you get some idiots hijacking it all with those horrid heads mixed with guro (which is like japanese gore but elevated to 100+ in terms of creepiness and fugliness) Thus, and personally, not that worth the risk of burning your retinas.

Now and then you also get all the lesbianlolipornz etc etc and even links to a NSFW board fully dedicated to the matter. Such is the business?
Music thread is bumped for your convenience. Don't need any innocents burning their precious retinas with random Yukkuri guro popping up. :wink:
Also, Pooshlmer is a worksafe board, so posting "LOLlilpronz" on it isn't a completely good idea. Thus you have the NSFW board for that stuff.

On topic, Parsee if a an absolute bitch to fight. The spell card she uses when she first pops up is as a midboss is annoying as all hell! Does anyone have any tips for that?

Yukkuri shitette ne!

Anyway, I feel like I'm the only one who never had trouble with Parsee's first card (well, on Easy, Normal, and Hard at least). Depending on who you use, she's extremely easy.

The trick is to not let it intimidate you. Start the spell card directly under her for maximum damage, and when the bullet trail becomes too close for comfort, go over Parsee, but still in close proximity so you hurt her. Once you go completely around her, stay directly under her so you're making full contact, and slowly move under the existing bullets. It's really easy once you figure out the trick to it. I'll upload a clip of how to do it on YouTube when I get home from college today.

It's important to remember that you can go through Parsee's sprite without being damaged if you don't stop shooting.

When I first reached the stage 5 boss, for a few seconds I though Zun's remix of "Michael Jacksons Thriller" was going to play.

awwww, come on, guys, we have a 6 pages thread that is finally fully dedicating to the games without going to the other, dangerous, embarrassing matters.

Just kidding. So, I finally moved my butt and pre-ordered Subterranean Animism (what a name, I like it) along with some music (aka: OMFG SWR OST OMFG, I've trolled DS forums, hyping this album so much because it has EPIC MENU THEME PIANO VERSION and other delicatessens you don't hear that frequently) and Panzer Dragoon for Saturn because I love the days when games were also kickass music CDs.

mmm, I liked the Satori avi... Everyone hates her drawing, I found it nice.

And I keep getting randomly owned by Orin. She's the one screwing my Normal 1cc and destroying my easy scores.

I'm finding myself having a lot of trouble with one of her regular attacks (the spellcards, ironically, I can handle those):

There is this attack where she WON'T HOLD STILL. Releasing will-o-wisps that explode in bullets and a curtain of deadly death that falls leaving open gaps but forcing you to move constantly. I usually end up timing out the damn attack. Any tips to clear it fast without getting owned? I'm using ReimuA. Maybe I should just pretend I'm playing 19xx and yell "bombs away!"?

Don't worry, I'll bring the Satori avi back sometime. I just happened to come across this Hazuki one and thought "d'awww, this is too cute to pass on". :P
