Stella Vanity -Prelude to the Destined Calamity- Arcade Rank 0 Azerlete Type C All
0Only went through Area 1 and Area 3 for the first half.
At least with the Type C shot, I haven't cleared arcade yet (think I only tried arcade with type s). I spent most of my time 2 years ago on easy doing rank 4 runs. I still remember how to tackle some stuff, but I had some trouble adapting to the patterns on arcade. Had to be careful that I don't blow too much of my resources in Area 7. I also got the idea to use the short invincibility from autoguards to erase whatever bullets I could on the Area 7 boss's final in this run.
Mostly getting back to this game after reading about getting to rank ex at shmups forum. I'm kind of rusty at this game. I don't really remember what I did for my easy type c run. I'll have to rewatch that run later just to see if anything comes back to me. Don't really have anything else in mind that I want to get back to at the moment after wanting to take a break from TWINS.
I don't remember if I mentioned this in my Type C or Type S easy video, but the main reason I time out the Area 6 boss's last attack is I found it easier to do it that way at least on Type C easy. I recall the attack getting faster the less life that boss has during that part.
I'm not ready to do Type S runs just yet. I'm kind of relearning the game with controller right now (runs from 2 years ago was when I was still primarily using keyboard). This was one of the games I kind of wanted to figure out on controller. I know on my previous keyboard, my keyboard didn't like how much keys I was trying to use with type c. While I've got a working scheme for Type C runs, Type S is going to take a while to figure out. Kind of feels like I'm rewiring my head. I guess the other thing I'll check is how bad the delay is on my laptop with Type S and I don't know if the desktop I use is still good (I know an update around December did something funny with the resolution). The delay kind of jumps to around 2% whenever I use ethereal shift. I'll probably keep whatever runs I get if they don't go above 5%, which is what I recall the borderline for acceptable replays for touhou (at least in english speaking communities). I also sometimes get desync issues with replay files, though I think I noticed that more whenever I play in full screen (I don't know if that is a solution).
