Trigger: 11 / Interval: 10
I did Maniac clear 12 years ago and then Arrange clear in Steam port 10 years ago. After so many years I was ready for Ultra attempts. And there is a lot to say.
Well, Ultra Mode is the hardest mode in this game, it's basically second loop difficulty with nonsense true last boss. I started to learn W-Power because it's really popular and most people suggest it. Unfortunately I was never able to do Aki final sliding cloud strategy, it was just impossible for me for some reason. So I tried to learn dodging strategy while complaining about stupid cloud strategy in Discord.
Then MaitreMarcadet sent me a message about various stuff but most importantly about easier Aki cloud strategy which involves using S-Power. I tried to do Aki final with S-Power and got my first Aki practice clear very quickly. It was so much easier and you can even enter Aki final with no bombs. So I decided to reroute the whole game with S-Power.
Stages 1, 2, 4 and 5 were surprisingly doable with S-Power, sometimes harder, sometimes much easier because of speed or being able to kill midbosses faster and avoid harder patterns. The only questionable stage was the third one because of lack of slowdown and probably that's why S-Power clear is considered to be really hard. And then I realized there is another feature in Mushihimesama, very unique and truly a game changer for me. So you can wait when powerup changes and it allows you to change shottype. This way I can play stage 3 with W-Power while doing other stages with S-Power.
Thanks to:
- @maitremarcadet his 2 miss 0 bomb Aki strategy
- @niklasstg6957 his 3-way spam route on stage 3
- @Wes112 for idea to kill powerup carrier a bit later
- @a.sasagami6970 for trigger and interval numbers
- And everyone else for their support and advices!
