Touhou 7 - Perfect Cherry Blossom: My very FIRST EX STAGE CLEAR. GODDAMN FINALLY.
Eh. . . Don't mind me posting shit out of nowhere.
Have a Desktop instead of a Laptop now so I hope it's actually higher quality than my laptop version.
Gameplay is by me. And yes. I know I suck.
Finally, I don't know how but finally. FINALLY. A EX Stage Clear even though it's not FDF, I will take it. Even though it's a "Easier" EX Stage, I WILL STILL TAKE IT. A GODDAMN EX STAGE CLEAR ON MY BELT. Pretty sure I'm not clearing any more EX Stages lol.
For me, In order to even get to play EX Stage, It feels like you have to be able to move around unfocused. In other words, By not pressing "Shift". I tried it before and well, The results are terrible as you seen it in my EX Stage attempt I uploaded 2 days ago. The hardest part of the Stage aside from the Boss of course, Is Chen. As you can tell here, I am absolute shit against her. Her 1st Non-spell attack is simple enough but hard to execute. 1st Spellcard is just hard. I don't know what to do. Watch videos and still don't understand. 2nd Spellcard. . Well, This is my 1st time encountering this type of Spellcard so. . .excuse me for that. Needless to say that I had my troubles on the stage itself so don't worry. I'm not a pro.
The Boss herself. Hm. Not easy. Although when compared to Flandre in FDF. . .Ran just feels more easier somehow. All her non-Spellcard attacks are rather tame really. Compared to again, FDF. It's really tame and simple too not gonna lie about that. It's mainly the spellcards for me. Ran's 1st Spellcard looks very say "Threatening" but it's not hard. It's simple. What I did was just look at the bullets and my character see if I got targeted or not, If I did I just move again, I didn't? Don't move. There's also the idea of the Sound cue. So yeah. Hard to explain. But if you get the trick, It's not hard. And of course not easy either. It's disorienting for me lol.
2nd Spellcard of Ran's is troublesome, I got the idea down. It's more like having the need to see 3 directions near my character. I'm weak against that. So yeah, This is the only time I captured the Spellcard so far.
3rd Spellcard of Ran's well, LASERS. I tried to do it. I failed. I'm not a trickster you know, squeezing in between lasers and all that? No. I cannot. I know how to do it but I cannot do it. Execution is not happening for me. This just needs practice.
Her 4th Spellcard, as I like to call it "A Cage with Bubble Bullets" or "Bomb and you bomb forever or Bomb and you die" Spellcard, I don't really know how to do this one. I mean it's straightforward. The "Cage" size moves and you pretty much dodge Bullets in a tight space. This one needs knowledge of hitbox and movement as well as how the "Cage" moves really. If that's a thing even.
Ah her 5th Spellcard, As I like to call it "TP to me, Press Q." (Thanks Fourzer0seven) This one is just. . .I don't know what to say. Just go with the flow I guess. If there's a tip I say just try to make her be in top of you (sounds wrong but just roll with it) like usual and then shoot her. Basically up and down up and down. (IHE? Really?)
The 6th Spellcard, People like to call it "Nazi Symbol" Pff, Whatever. I call it "PEACE" for no reason. I forgot why again. This one is more of your movement. That's it. It's basically a test of your movement. No tricks behind it.
Eh. . .Don't mind 9.01. I hesitated to go collect stuff lol. So that happened. Don't worry about it. Mistakes were made.
7th Spellcard, Her "Shotgun" Spellcard. I have no advice / tips here. I don't know to do this.
The 8th Spellcard, CHENNNNNNNNNNNN. (Thanks M-1 Grand Prix) I find this simple. If I am to compare well, I say this is pretty much the easier version of Ran's 2nd Spellcard. It's of course, Still hard.
With the 9th Spellcard, The SURVIVAL again. JUST. GODDAMN. MESSY, CHAOTIC, DISORIENTING, HOLY SHIT I CANNOT KEEP UP. My eyes that is. Need I say more?
And lastly, Ran's 10th Spellcard. I got no tips. Aside from the fact that this will never be a doable card for me. Never. I can assure you that.
To be very honest here, I don't feel the same level of accomplishment I get from Hard 1cc in FDF when compared it to PCB's EX Stage clear. Idk why. I still feel great though.
By the way, This run was made 2 days ago. Best part is I was not playing any Touhou games for 1-2 weeks because 1. I do not have the energy / brainpower / concentration needed to play it (as much as I want to play it casually, I cannot. My earlier videos on FDF should explain it. Sorta.) 2. I was in the mood for shooting games so I went for Borderlands 2. That's it really.
Of course, I'm not trying to brag but it's still fucking weird on how and why the hell I have this peak performance even though I have not touched it for some time.
Run was made in 30/5/2017, (DD/M/YYYY) as well as my first EX Stage Clear in any Touhou games. Still cannot believe I clutched the EX Stage. My fucking hell balls.
