Scarlet Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 To be fair, ReimuB at least has a helpful passive, and her bomb actually becomes decently strong on Hard/Lunatic As for ReimuC, while the bomb is fantastic, I still think the shot type itself is great, too It could do with slightly better damage output, but then again, literally every shot type other than ReimuA has that issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know what you're doing, she can bombskip patterns with ease. She's the best shot for NM for a reason. MarisaB's utility comes purely from her option switching. Fire Sign's damage is not very good, yes, but she has good opportunities to make use of her other options in boss fights and can do significantly more damage with them (even moreso in conjunction with her bomb). Earth Sign on Orin, for example, is a beautiful thing. MarisaC is a very bad shot, but at least she has a good niche in the Extra. Second best shot for standard clears by far.

If you know what you're doing, she can bombskip patterns with ease. She's the best shot for NM for a reason. Going pointblank with bombs is not only very dangerous in most circumstances, it also means that you need to have planned that bomb in advance. If you use MarisaA's bomb reactively like people usually do, it deals virtually no damage whatsoever, clears barely any bullets and grants only very few invincibility frames. There's also the problem that while MarisaA gains a bit more power from small [P] (0.08 instead of 0.05), the same doesn't apply to big [P]s. If you ever dip down to <4 Power, you'll have a hard time recovering, especially during boss fights. Unlike other shot types, not even dying grants you any reasonable amount of power, as MarisaA at 2 or 3 Power is simply pathetic. I guess she's a bit better in Extra where you can reasonably expect each death to put you on your last life, thus granting you a Full Power item everytime you die, but like I said before, she's simply not viable for a normal player. She only becomes "viable" if you're already good enough at the game to 1cc it in your sleep. Remember that that doesn't apply to everyone here, nor even to the majority of Touhou players in general. 6 hours ago, ( 'ω') ZM ('ω' ) said: MarisaB's utility comes purely from her option switching.

And to do anything resembling actual damage with MarisaB's bomb, you have to pop it right on top of your target's face, just like MarisaA's. Besides, if I want to hit a boss (or any other enemy) from really awkward angles, I could just pick ReimuC instead and be much better off in every way. Reimu even has a smaller hitbox (which admittedly is actually annoying in Stage 3 and 4 if you're trying to graze the lasers, but is a boon if you're just trying to survive). 6 hours ago, ( 'ω') ZM ('ω' ) said: MarisaC is a very bad shot, but at least she has a good niche in the Extra.

Being able to shield yourself without triggering Koishi's invincibility takes a lot of pressure off your shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimu even has a smaller hitbox (which admittedly is actually annoying in Stage 3 and 4 if you're trying to graze the lasers, but is a boon if you're just trying to survive). It's true that MarisaA and MarisaB require preemptive bombing to get the full extent of their power, but what's the problem with that? Plan most of your bombs and you should have a comfier time going for a clear instead of worrying about dodging and capturing everything, which would just put more pressure on a player than needed. Remember: the goal is to 1cc. MarisaA and MarisaB aren't even that difficult to get into. I used the latter for my first SA Normal 1cc a long time ago and she really wasn't that tough to get into well. 2 hours ago, shezzy said: I honestly cant think of a game where marisa is better than reimu, seriously maybe if you compare individual shots, but the best shot type has never come close to being marisa, unless you count glitch in MoF kind of a frustrating thing with the series after you've played it a lot and gotten bored with stomping everything as reimu or sakuya tbh From a scoring standpoint Marisa is usually superior to Reimu for obvious reasons (EoSD (minus Extra), PCB (though MarisaA has the highest potential, ReimuB is simply more suitable for use), and SA (only in Lunatic and Extra) are the only exceptions). But since we're talking survival, Marisa does not really have any boons over Reimu unless you're DDC MarisaB (assuming first clears obviously). MoF MarisaC is a very good option for first clears, as well, and TD Marisa has a stronger trance to make use of. I've actually seen TD Marisa get used more than TD Reimu these days for first clears.

Only having two bombs per life seems like a huge detriment at first, but is compensated for by her insanely fast Cherry gain (which provides a lot of free barriers) and extremely high firepower in general. While I haven't played those two as much, I also found Marisa a lot more effective than Reimu in both LLS and MS, where Reimu's "I have homing shots!" means very little when literally every shot type, including Marisa's, has insanely massive spread anyway. 59 minutes ago, ( 'ω') ZM ('ω' ) said: It's true that MarisaA and MarisaB require preemptive bombing to get the full extent of their power, but what's the problem with that? Plan most of your bombs and you should have a comfier time going for a clear instead of worrying about dodging and capturing everything, which would just put more pressure on a player than needed. There's a lot of problems with that, the most obvious one being that unless you plan all of your bombs and deaths in advance, you can't guarantee you'll actually have enough power available to bomb with at any given moment, especially if you can't guarantee that you consistently manage to pick up all Power items. Getting hit by something unexpected can also force an unplanned deathbomb (or death), throwing off your planning even more. And then there's the problem that you may very well find you simply don't have enough bombs to work with to bomb everything you might need bombed, especially since any given pattern usually requires at least two bombs to fully skip, sometimes even three (Hell And Heaven Meltdown says hi). And that's assuming you have no trouble with the stages themselves. There's nothing wrong with planned bombs for a spellcard you're certain you can't capture - I've given that advice myself in the past. But to do that for a full run once again requires that you already be very familiar with the game, and by extension pretty good. You can't really expect that from someone who has trouble 1ccing the game in the first place, especially when the bombs of the shot type you're using are a royal pain in the ass to actually set up. Having to practically be on top of a target that might move at any moment in a game where contact damage instantly kills you is not exactly very encouraging, especially since you can easily just waste your bomb altogether by bombing too early, before the boss armor wears off. Or you bomb too late and simply get shot in the face. 1 hour ago, ( 'ω') ZM ('ω' ) said: MarisaA and MarisaB aren't even that difficult to get into. I used the latter for my first SA Normal 1cc a long time ago and she really wasn't that tough to get into well. You really need to stop measuring these things by your own standards. You're on a completely different level at this point, and frankly, it's actually pretty discouraging to constantly hear you go on about how easy everything supposedly is when that's simply not true for the vast majority of players. We don't exactly have a lot of NMNB Lunatic players here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I mean, my intentions aren't to discourage anyone, since I want to do anything but that. I'm just trying to explain the benefits and positives of things so people can potentially ease into them. And I never said that anything was particularly 'easy', I just said that the shots aren't very difficult to get into. Something like ReimuC's shot is more difficult to adjust to than either Marisa A and B, she only has superior clearing tendencies due to smallbox and a more suitable bomb for damage.

Scarlet Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 10 hours ago, shezzy said: god satori's second and third spellcard on reimua are bullshit Huh, how so? The last one is definitely tough if you don't abuse the safespot, but the one prior to that is just basic horizontal streaming, even on Lunatic. Just stay away from the left and right edges of the screen and the lasers might as well not be there. 11 hours ago, shezzy said: for stage 5 ill probably just time orin's midboss out, and from then on the only thing in that fight that looks absolutely uncapturable is the second to last spellcard Honestly, if you have the Power to spare, I'd just bomb Cat's Walk to oblivion, personally. Screw that card. As for Needle Mountain, that one definitely used to give me trouble, but it becomes much more managable once you realize that the flame circles are aimed (one directly at you, all others relative to it). Simply move a set distance each time Rin summons a new set and you can pretty much just ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
