note: i recorded the run while it happened, but the quality of this recording was pretty low; i also recorded a replay of the run, but the replay desynced on mastication, so i decided to splice together 99% of the replay recording with 1% of the live recording. sorry about the sudden drop in quality on mastication final phase
anyways I'm really happy to have this run, sukune was the last of the difficult hnbnfbs in RMI i didn't have
i'm also just happy with how the run went overall! 9 misses, and i capped a lot of hard things (iyozane opener, iyozane penult, saragi nonspell, kurojimaru nonspell, iyozane s5 midspell, fumikado penult, shion non 2, shion final)
Sukune is definitely one of the weakest shots in this game for nbnfb, arguably the weakest. Kuroji's maingame is maybe comparable but they do much better in extra. Sukune's main advantages are their ability to do good damage at close range, and their jar zenith doing lots of damage. (iyozane final still takes forever even if you get a jar zenith on it though :hahaa:)
stage 1 with sukune is... interesting, mainly because of sese spell 1 and non 2. there's a few ways you can do this, I chose to use the start of spell 1 and non 2 to go high for more damage, trusting yaorochi to grab all the big power items so i could still power cancel non 2.
that tsugumi spell 1 death :superdying: i like to sometimes continue after silly earlygame deaths though, it makes it that much funnier if the run clears. sukune's pretty good at tsugumi though. also once i saw 1136 spirits i knew i had to make the run clear
very glad that i grinded for a stage 3 hnnn with sukune a while back, because i learned just how good they are at the midboss. midnon you'll basically always have a jar zenith, shotgun to trivialize it. midspell you can unfocus and kill it before it kills you, even with bad rng
pretty happy with how the iyozane fight went here, opener in particular is kinda tricky with sukune
also really happy with how i did on stage 4. the slaver fight really scares me as sukune (kuroji non feels scary, spell 1 takes 5 years to die without a zenith, saragi non is ????, idk how to do saragi spell 2 consistently, duo non is ????, and final can get weird)
would've liked to not dko on final but i can't complain about a 2m slaver fight
really glad i didn't get hit an autobomb on s5 midspell (oh also sukune is good at the third chapter of s5 first half)
fumikado fight... wasn't bad necessarily, but it was worse than the other parts of this run. didn't die to penult though so i'm glad about that
shion fight also went great, especially mastication. though that was partly me just getting really lucky with rng
anyways uh i'll probably take a bit of a break from shmups for a while (if i can keep myself from diving into udoalg the second it releases). might upload some non-Touhou content to the channel in that time? who knows?
