Here's my Hard RMI 1cc! I've been working on those images to the side, the reason that there are still visible parts of the balks visible, is because the original image had those too, I used 1 image for this but had to put it twice into Sony Vegas to let it work, otherwise it's not exactly as I want it.. :V
Anyways, here's a link to the original image: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1763555?tags=len%27en and yes, the website can contain NSFW ads just like it contains NSFW pictures at places, without Addblocker I don't recommend going to there.
Also this game is pretty interesting as the flash bomb (the graze bomb, the gauge on the left is your graze bomb, once it's full you can press X whilst not focusing, it'll consume your gauge and it'll make you switch to the other party member, which then can play with that character's shottype and bombs, you also have your partner to fly under you, they'll collect items, both Sukune and Yabusame are amazing for this, of course I played with Sukune, Sukune can collect items and Yabusame just moves to the places with the most items, this team isn't the team Yabusame is in though, Adagumo no Yaorochi and Katano Sukune are team-B, the fact that there are 3 teams reminds me of IN..
Anyways, back to what I wanted to tell, your partner is under you, you can see that at the bottom layout, it'll just fly, in this team all characters will follow your movement, so sometimes it's smart to be above a heap of items and to not collect it so your partner can collect it, I think I did pretty well on stage 1, I've had runs with more left in stage 1 though, but when I say that, I think stage 1-3 were good collection stages, you'll need to collect the Ghost Items for your Spirit Jar, which is to the right, you fill it up by collecting them, I recommend atleast having 3500 Ghost Items, but that'll force you to play pretty good against Shion, since (Shion is the stage 6 boss) Shion will probably end up costing you some Ghost Items, when you get hit it costs you a lot, when a nonspell or spellcard ends too
(not always as far as I'm concerned.) I haven't noticed that bombing costs you Ghost Items, but that might be an unreal mode thing, you can't hurt Shion anyways so in the end it'll cost you points in the way of having to wait while Shion sucks some out of you.
Also team B is the most offensive team, Yaorochi is basically your main shottype, you want Yaorochi to be as Yaorochi's shot is pretty, PRETTY strong, as Sukune you get more range, Sukune's shottype is probably based on Marisa-B's shottype in SA (I think that was Marisa Alice? not quite sure if that was Marisa-B) in which a nofocused shot is stronger than a focused shot, but a focused shot got more range, it's pretty handy to use Sukune at times, because when the gauge is full, Yaorochi will basically do a powerfull screenclear and that won't cost you your gauge, so you can still switch at will, the bombs are pretty strong and will make you switch too, I've also had that I got hit whilst my gauge just got charged up, I didn't press X but somehow got an automatic deathbomb, pretty nice, Also at times (I think per 200 Ghost Points) you get your partner to attack from the bottom, pretty handy for beating up midbosses and bosses.
Anyways, for how I played, I did pretty well until I got to Iyozane (the stage 3 boss) where I had the most stupid deaths, I can honestly do better there, guess I was still sleepy from trying to upload another video, which failed, sadly.
I lost about 3 lives thanks to stupidity at Iyozane, lost 1 life in comparison to stage 3 on stage 4, I also had to do a little part of the stage 4 bosses blind, I never got to stage 5 before, but I no missed it right away, did pretty nice too, had more lives than I had in stage 3 so that certainly speaks about recovery :')
I also did pretty well against Shion, I've seen a few techniques in Jaimers's Unreal Mode 1cc, for example the second spellcard, how to do that one, so I used his technique for that, the only thing that's a little sad is that I didn't capture the final spellcard, I got so close! oh well, maybe sometime in a practice run for fun :P, Also I scored pretty high I think, if I died less to Iyozane I'd have an even higher score as the amount of lives left gives you a huge bunch of score, for a long-part blind 1cc.
I won't rate this here, as my description is too long, I'll probably rate it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Zigzagwolf
