This post makes me feel sick

Finishing a timeout spellcard in the place where the EX boss is about to spawn.

forgetting to fire at her, before the time out is called

Getting hit by a dispersing bullet on your last life as the last boss's last spell card has been cleared.

Seeing a bullet

knowing it's there

seeing that you have clear space

flying into the bullet

a classic one is: forgetting that you are not playing on easy when you face her.

Seija Gimmick is Deadly on the First Try

>>16566480
This. Fuckin. Shit. Right. There.

Happens a hell lot more often than it should and it's the most frustrating experience. It's like you're not in control of your own body.

I guess one should really trust no-one, not even oneself.

Bombing early
Repeatedly
And running out of bombs when you really need them

>>16566527
Do new players actually start on easy?

Dying with lots of bombs in stock because you think to yourself "I got this, I can capture it."

>>16567000
I remember when I was new to 2hu I saw all of the stigma surrounding people who play on easy so I avoided it altogether.

>>16567017
This resonates with me

Calculating the trajectory of a curvy laser and then realizing your calculations were a bit off.

>>16567000
I did. Still can't get an Easy Clear on UFO

Trying to grab the last UFO when it's just about to change and there are tons of bullets surrounding it.

Trying to POC when you see a life/bomb fragment is about to fall off the screen and you know it's a bad idea.

Getting cut down by Youmu's fullscreen dash.

>>16567030
Sometimes, the best way to dodge is standing still.

>>16567147
That's another one for the list too.

Standing still and doing nothing.

Getting kicked by Kogasa when you're trying to cheat!

Getting bitten by Yamame after spending months trying to convince /jp/ she is a good girl!

We are our worst enemies.

>>16567000
After hearing/reading that the game(s) does a forth-wall shitting on the player for picking easy , I didn't pick it after that.

>>16567697
Only two games on the series do that

>>16567000
While I've tried out easy once or twice I started on normal and mostly play that. I was told getting used to easy doesn't help, anyway.

I personally like the good ol' "forgot this is when the boss comes in, kicked by the boss"

Getting hit by a bullet that you saw but your brain didn't process quick enough.

Trying to point-blank a boss but went too far up.

>>16566406
Dodge a large swarm of bullets like a pro and then die to that one little bullet that was moving slow as fuck.

Gapping across the side of the screen
Into bullets

>THANKS YUKARI

>>16568715
Who are you quoting, faggot? Don't make me track you down and strangle you to death.

>>16569347
I'll take you on, nerdlord

>>16569347
That would imply you leave the house.

>>16568712
So many times this happens.
How is that even possible?

Dying to one of those tiny-ass snowball bullets

PC-98 games when you forget that the end of each stage right before the boss a huge bullet stream spawns out of no where

fucking fuck it's probably the reason I haven't finished SoEW

>>16566406
Wriggle kick.....

>>16566406
Literally lol

When a bullet hides behind another bullet and then they split just as you're about to dodge.

>>16567000
The first time I downloaded a touhou (it was TH13) I played on lunatic, expired all my continues but managed to beat it with Sanae
And I cannot repeat it for some reason

>>16573046
>expired all my continues
>managed to beat it

You didn't beat it then.
To "beat" the game you need to get the good ending.

Trying to go for an exploitable spot in a bullet pattern and getting it wrong.
I've died to cirno, satori, and shou too many times from this.

>>16567033
don't worry, everyone got that one game they can't complete

"There should be a safespot somewhere around here, I think? If I just stand still I should be fine."

>>16566406
Dodging all the bullets and then colliding with a fairy.

Dying to Meira charging at you.
FUCK WHY I AM DYING SO MUCH AT THAT SIMPLE FUCKING ATTACK WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT

>>16573991
Oh, also

The fairy gets close to the bottom of the screen

It shoots one last bullet as a successful parting gift.

Trying to fight Clownpiece.

>>16566406
I have a really hard time keeping my eyes on my character. It's hard to focus with the danmaku and all.

>i need use a bomb now
>don't press the button

>>16574033
Touhou 15 did this, fucking hell

"HA! I'll just use a bomb to escape from this situation"
then I press X and nothing happens. I had no bombs left and ended up meeting my demise.

>>16574916
Whenever I run out of bombs, I either choke or I become the best bullet dodger, until a moment when I need to use a bomb, then I choke and die.

>>16574812
If you use a bomb that means you've already lost
Whatever button bomb is mapped to, rip it out!

>>16567017
Happens to me every fucking time.

Dying from a bullet that came from an opposite direction of the bullets your were already tracking.

Not a dumb way to die but it looks absolutely pathetic and can be avoided by pause buffering.

>>16577020
>can be avoided by pause buffering.
Please don't do that.

>>16566406
may also be a common and unavoidable one but sneezing while playing is a bit of a problem [at least some times of the year]

Backing into a bullet you've already dodged.

>>16577524
I know, I learned that figuring out the pattern the hard way gives better experience, even if it takes 60+ tries.

Running into a red bullet because you thought it was a P item
Also apllies to blue tiny bullets
Fuck you UFO

>>16566406
Kill yourself trying to grab an UFO.

This FUCKING GIMMICK HOLY SHIT THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY.

ITS LITERALLY EASIER TO IGNORE THEM.

>>16566406
Die to oku gravity once you finished the last spellcard.

Why the fuck this is a thing holy shit.

going up to get your powerups.
suddenly a boss rams her hitbox into yours and you die.

I hate how inconsistent that is too. Some bosses have hitboxes, some don't, so it always catches me off guard

>>16566480
Kinda like real life huh

>>16574954
Yeah, I'm really surprised at what dodges I can pull off when I'm out of bombs and under pressure

The thrill of it is something incredible

>>16588125
It's also easier to stop throwing a tantrum and git gud, but that requires one to stop throwing tantrums and git gud so you know.

>>16566527
Oh, please. Cirno is a fucking scrub.

Enjoying the music and forgetting you are actually facing a boss

Forgetting that PoFV is a game of how long you can dodge bullets, going for score, and dying to an outlier bullet because you saw something that would give you points, resetting your chain.
