This mode is very good for precision moves, when there are a lot of bullets on the screen. Plus, depending on the character you're playing, it will change your fire pattern, usually focusing it more. That's why it has this name. Z is the fire button. Basically, you'll have it pressed 98% of the time (the other 2% are for very specific moments where you if you shoot, it's not good.) X is the bomb button. The bomb is not the same for every character. It even changes between one character's different fire modes. The common thing between all the bombs is that it will make your character invincible for a short period of time (around 5 seconds). It usually cleans the screen of a lot/all bullets also. If you aim well, you also can deal a lot of damage to the boss you're fighting. Use it if you're about to die, or if you're too confused by the bullets flying everywhere. It will buy you enough time to refocus. Note that you can still bomb for like 0.1sec when you're hit by an ennemy bullet. This is really basic stuff, you'll learn how to perfectly use bombs according to your game style by playing more. | ||

But yeah, Nue's spellcard where lasers are morphing into bullets and back again is the spellcard where I die. Haha. I'll have to focus more to get past through. I'm pretty certain I just bombed my way through Kaguya's spellcards so she definitely doesn't shield them. They might take less damage sure but not immune. I'm talking about full immunity here. Flandre and Remilia totally vanish when you cast a bomb and you can't even fire regular bullets at them during this period. As far as I know every other boss until Nue can at least take damage from regular shots. But yes as for keyboard playing... I fully and totally recommend a game pad if you start to like the game and play it extensively. Takes a little bit of getting used to because it's harder to control than the keyboard but it also you to make much quicker and more intricate direction changes than the keyboard allows. It's hard to move in all four diagonals on a keyboard while tapping shift... not so much with a gamepad. | ||

I'm pretty sure all the final bosses vanish on the final spellcard if you use bomb. And every final extra boss vanish during each spellcard if you bomb. | ||

There are no physical limitations to speak of when it comes to control on a keyboard, if you can't do it you simply aren't used to it. Edit: On a side note, I can sometimes make it through level 2 on Lunatic. D; | ||

I can use Z, Shift, and all the arrow keys except for the down arrow key simultaneously. One arrow makes a big difference ;; The keyboard I'm using is REALLY FUCKING OLD, it hasn't been in production for a long time, and I can't find any info on it on google. I believe the model is the Keytronics LR60161 (that's what it says on the back, but I'm just guessing about the brand). Here's a handy program to see what keys your keyboard can handle (I swear it's not a keylogger): http://www.mediafire.com/?yhtzzjkjred It's a pain playing FPS games now as well, if I'm holding w+d or w+a most keys around them won't work. I'm going to buy a new standard keyboard soon. Any suggestions (other than the flashy Razer keyboards/Logitech G15)? I would get a DT35, but the only site that sells it is selling it for $40 (and free shipping). | ||

hopefully I can figure out netplay on this and not fail miserably like I did on the other 3 netplay-activated games edit: I didn't even realize people posted in this recently, guess it was an unnecessary bump | ||

Whenever I finish Sanae's story mode or enter practice with Suwako, it errors out Haven't heard much about errors with 12.3, but that error seems like an irregularity. It is the pre-installed version right? afaik images are not out yet. Is this thread expanding into a Touhou thread (We had another one iirc) or is it being kept in scope of 12?

There is a patch out, so try this. | ||

Over the past year or so, I've become pretty good at these games. (If anyone is curious in videos, my account is http://www.youtube.com/user/bjwdestroyer.) As for UFO, there's some serious issues with it on Lunatic. Nothing was changed from the demo, so Kogasa's first boss card is still a bit bullshitty, and stage 3's streaming portion is still ass. And while Ichirin's cards became famous for having terrible fucking colors (red animated bullets on top of a red background with red brofists), stage 5 makes it even worse. Some of the artificial difficulty done by ZUN was also a bit unnecessary (I'm looking at you, Syou's curving lasers), and some patterns are just plain ridiculous (e.g. Byakuren's 2nd noncard). At the very least, I guess normal and hard are fun for a bit. Extra is kind of uninspired, but Nue's time out card is really fun | ||
