-Yes I know this a year old comment- Most of them are taken from the PC-98 touhou, Mystic Square's final boss Shinki. Take a look at the old game and her spellcards, they are based off them :P
To me they are memorable in the sense of how they are a sort of recollection of how the PC 98 era was as a sort of tribute to them, and with emotional skyscraper sounding weirdly nostalgic brings me to the conclusion that this game was a bit of a call back/tribute to those games, especially Byakuren thought the spell cards are made to be more grandious in a way, and since this was the game that ended the 1st Windows era it would good to make it so that it acknowledges their existence, That one cameo fro Yuka on Th9 wasn't much so I this is the best way ZUN could have referenced the Touhou PC-98 games. I really like Great Magic "Devil's recitation".
I just want to say that this perfect run is a good reference for the musical build-up around Holy Maelstrom. Even the timing for Devil's Recitation firing the red lasers was perfect. This video is perfect basically.
The game so insane it can be legitimately used as ransomware. Imagine in the future all computers are locked behind this game and a specialized force of Touhou experts are needed worldwide to help people regain control of their systems. Hahahaha, I actually wouldn't mind that kind of future.
Mordecai Walfish Someone did a virus for that. The victim is forced to play the Lunatic Mode of UFO, until you reach a certain high score. Yep the world is doooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed. but Cirno is still baka
Fun little fact about Devil's Recitation. Shinki is often thought of as a "Satan" type of character; in other words, the Devil. And Recitation refers to the action of repeating something from memory or from a list of facts. So Devil's Recitation literally means Shinki's Repeat or Memory of Shinki or something like that.
I mean, in a game where it feels like 25%+ of the challenge sometimes is just trying to hit the boss....... Homing shots as your main damage could be useful :)
Helio Knight well whatever floats your boat :) (But I do think thats the main reason sanae and sakuya are picked very often, homing shots make it so you just have to worry about doging)
Playing on Normal difficulty... Can't beat through Stage 4 with Reimu Can't beat through Stage 5 with Marisa Can't beat through Stage 6, even with Sanae... Gonna need more practice :(
Kieran McReynolds the easiest to me was Imperishable Night, as in the only game I've 1 cc'd lol, yeah, I did final A and B. I'm almost 1 cc'ing PCB and Mountain of Faith though, unfortunately I'm not an avid player anymore :(
This clear of Byakuren's fight is essentially the *perfect* showcase of how well timed Emotional Skyscraper is with the fight Non 1: Introduction to the song Spell 1 (Good Omen): First verse Non 2: Repeat of introduction Spell 2 (Magic Butterfly): Second verse Non 3: finishing out second verse/Pre-bridge section Spell 3 (Milky Way): Bridge section Non 4: Climax (kind of strange when you think of it that this song climaxes on a nonspell, but it works) Spell 4 (Devil's Recitation): Repeat of climax, then build up to the second climax as the lasers come in. All out now! Spell 5 (Superhuman): Repeat of second climax Spell 6 (Legendary Flying Saucer): Repeat of original theme/first verse, bringing the song and fight to a close This theme took a long time to "click" for me, but now it's one of my favorites.
Too amazing to put it into words. That was totally awesome. Leave me speechless. Someday, somehow I'm going to be capable of doing a Lunatic perfect run too, doesn't matter how long it takes. Your videos are totally inspirational, please keep up the perfect job and keep us amazed as always.
Honestly me too. "Uhmm what is she doing?" I say to myself, staying put on trying to dodge. Then a few seconds later I realize she gets closer, and then I die trying to go up. Now that I practiced the spell a bunch it's much more easier, still a pain
After listening to this song for a long time, first time watching this, that same theme just hits differently after watching the gameplay for the first time
Damn, watching this makes me want to get my UFO groove on again... I still can't even beat the game on Easy, but hey, at least I'm trying? *inches away nervously*
At first i didint like byakure (bc she was one of those mainstream characters and everyone including Miko talked about how evil she is), but she actually is just a youkais saint. She just wants to help them
lol this stage for a pc 98 player does the same effect of the "plin plin plon" from a dark souls player, except reaching Byakuren is quite a little bit harder than soul of cinder
Clownpiece You get a big power up if you died/bombed, a full power up if you didn't, or a big power up and many items if you also didn't while being at full power.
That next to last spellcard looked like a nightmare. I can't even play Lunatic mode on any Touhou games. I can't even play Hard. Best I can do is Normal. It's too overwhelming. I dunno how you people do it.
I have 1cc'd touhou 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13. But UFO is the hardest to me. Why? Because of captain Murasa. But this is some fine gameplay here, i am nowhere near as strong as you.
Funny thing, Shou is what keeps me from true 1CC on Normal. I have it rather easy til' her. Those curvy lasers are just too formidable. Then Byakuren cleans up the shriveled husk that Shou leaves behind within her first few spells and non spells. I have yet to see devil's recitation. ;-;
+TooEliteForYou My reason for not 1ccing UFO is because I'm an idiot and I always clip multiple times on Stage 4 even though it's easy as hell. And then there's Shou's 3rd and 4th spells which chomp on my bombs like fucking piranhas. Cue Byakuren's impossible boss battle after that and you'll get to listen to the beautiful sound of Marisa pichuuning.
HOLY FACKING GOD YOU SHOULD GET $ FOR THAT. I mean, I can like, maybe, REALLY maybe... do a no life lost run on this stage on Hard. But not on Lunatic. My gawd.
Am i the only one who thinks that most of these attacks look pretty simple...cause i play all games on normal...but this game looks freakin easy on lunatic
Sorry for the bad word, but how the fuck can you capture Byakuren's last spell? I was tryting to do it only that spellcard for 4 years now, only on Normal difficulty, without any success. She just doesn't want to die for that spellcard.

Also, isn't that one of the spellcards from the PC-98 era?
@@change9197 also 4:42, the music syncs along with the laser "slashes" of byakuren
Byakuren has some of the nicest artwork in this game. ZUN finally knows how to draw women XD
Touhou 13 laughs at this comment (but then 14 counterattacks)

4:05
Plot twist: Shinki taught Byakuren how to do one of her moves back when Reimu fought in Makai.
It copys attacks from all bosses in this game

Wait, are you aware of the actual virus or are you some sort of prophet?
This comment is still a mystery to me since someone did create a ransomware with UFO.

Helio Knight
I knew that deja vu feeling was correct
Helio Knight
I love your profile pic.
Shinki is Satan while Byakuren is Jesus lol
nah, recitation isn't used in this sense
Adding to this is the fact that the entire spellcard is just Shinki's final form/attack.
I like how it's so quiet, and then boom, Byakuren's theme begins to play. Best drop ever
2:52 *THE LAZERS SYNC*
Pausing there causes the purple and red waves to not overlap and form a near solid wall. Or yellow and purple don't remember.
That boss theme though
Man, that buildup from 2:41 to 2:53 and then the bit that starts there and goes till 3:21. I'm just crying listening to that it sounds so good.
Finally, someone who doesn't use Sanae.
I use Marisa.
I mean, in a game where it feels like 25%+ of the challenge sometimes is just trying to hit the boss....... Homing shots as your main damage could be useful :)
+Blu_Wraith I prefer the challenge. Besides, I like Marisa better than Reimu.
Helio Knight well whatever floats your boat :) (But I do think thats the main reason sanae and sakuya are picked very often, homing shots make it so you just have to worry about doging)
But if you only dodge and abuse Homing bullets you become reliant on them.
Playing on Normal difficulty...
Can't beat through Stage 4 with Reimu
Can't beat through Stage 5 with Marisa
Can't beat through Stage 6, even with Sanae...
Gonna need more practice :(
+Ray Mai I feel you :(. I managed to get to Byakuren once with Reimu and once with Marisa, but then she destroyed me.
+Kieran McReynolds LoLK is the hardest game m80.
Kieran McReynolds Still beat Koishi in the latest popularity contest :v
Kieran McReynolds the easiest to me was Imperishable Night, as in the only game I've 1 cc'd lol, yeah, I did final A and B. I'm almost 1 cc'ing PCB and Mountain of Faith though, unfortunately I'm not an avid player anymore :(

Non 1: Introduction to the song

Non 2: Repeat of introduction

i lost my shit when this happened to me the first time
"OOOOH SHIT SHE MOVES FUCK FUCK *FUCK*"
Honestly me too. "Uhmm what is she doing?" I say to myself, staying put on trying to dodge. Then a few seconds later I realize she gets closer, and then I die trying to go up. Now that I practiced the spell a bunch it's much more easier, still a pain
really weird seeing you here, my fellow fargo dude. small world
4:04 best spellcard
Fr gave me shivers when I realized what it was
After listening to this song for a long time, first time watching this, that same theme just hits differently after watching the gameplay for the first time
Man, I can't believe I fell in love with one of ZUN's sprites
Who? Me too!
2:53 oh god the sync is so powerful
4:10 I can't believe That Byaruken Mentioned Shinki...
4:07
Shinki would be proud.
4:07
lol
The pants are shat, I repeat, the pants are shat.
The timing in Devil's Recitation scares me
This shows Byakuren as a powerful Magic user
Damn, watching this makes me want to get my UFO groove on again... I still can't even beat the game on Easy, but hey, at least I'm trying?
*inches away nervously*
Devil’s recitation being based directly on shinki is a very very nice touch
My favorite stage 6 boss and touhou game. Good work!
even at the slowmo when u win, dont down your guard
***** Same ;____;
This goes to show, never doubt Reimu's hitbox.
For real theres some parts that’s just “what the fuck how did you survive that”
4:07 - The penultimate attack used by Shinki in Mystic Square.
everytime when ZUN makes a new touhou game, the difficulty goes harder and harder and harder but the bullets will be beautiful
This makes me cry and feel sad because of the music and the Stage Difficulty :(
sometimes i wish i could give more then 1 thumbs up. u my friend def. deserve it for this
4:04 mystic square here we go
Great boss battle, great boss ost and great bossplayer ;)
This stage's theme remind me Phantasy Star Online - Blue Burst, i don't know why
I've listened to emotional skyscraper so much that it's kind of strange to hear it playing during gameplay.
Shinki is probably hiding somewhere after what happened last time
4:09 Hi there Shinki! Haven't seen you in a while!
0:38 INCREASE SPEED, DROP DOWN, REVERSE DIRECTION
I like how at 0:17 you were tapping 'Shift' to the beat of the BGM.
Say, is it just me, or does Devil's Recitation look like one of Shinki's attacks from one of the PC 98 games? Because it matches so well.
Undefined suspicious object
So stupid. I beat the boss and died at the same time.
Talk about skillz.. That was impresive. Thank you.
Damn even the beginningnof the stage is a big ref to pc98
Byakuren is the only stage 6 boss that doesn´t use any pointy/cutting objects (knives, kunai, daggers, etc.) as bullets.
Okuu is just bubbles, pellets and circles the whole fight, same with Junko except with lazers and jellybeans
One skill to many. Amazing
No not trying to be an npc for saying that. That’s a lot of skill to usr for her
Shinki reference at 4:25.... That's so cool I just notice't that your awesome ZUN!
I just noticed this.. The rotating flower in the background in her spell is almost similar to the flower in Touhou 15 cover jacket.
Nice optical illusions video👍
the scariest spell card is " magic milky way" becasue of curving laser =)))
Damn it! Died at the last spell card 95% done with it! 2 more seconds i would have done it!!!
ARE YOU INSANE ?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GAME ?! *run away*
+Tezcaxalli Chichiltic It`s a game for complete lunatics

it a game by drunk man

@BearOnBear I am, i got to Utsuho but i´m not ready yet :P, and I have little patience. Maybe I´ll start playing again :D

4:10 Shinki mystic square!!!!
Is this the best final boss fight already? I guess so
If you can do this, then you're a winner in life.
I can't for the life of me dodge phase 3 spellcard, "Magic Milky Way"
3:37 Did that laser curve entirely around Reimu's hitbox
This game is so unfair on Practice, you always begin with 2.00 power.
*****
Yeah, but if you fail, then bye bye full power up.
That would be sooo much better if you could begin full power like in all other games.
*****
Exactly !
I think you actually get that full power item no matter what.
Clownpiece You get a big power up if you died/bombed, a full power up if you didn't, or a big power up and many items if you also didn't while being at full power.
At 4:14, this reminds me of Mushihimesama Futari's final boss a little. :U
Nice run though Jaimer. :O
He did, and on purpose too.
Lunatic is still Lunatic regardless.
this touhou in my opinion is the hardest 1
When I saw the title, I thought of Undefined Fantastic Cheese.
3:21 Byakuren stealing names
4:28 SHINKI IS THAT YOU?!
I can´t even beat stage 5 of Subterranean Animism in EASY
THIS IS IMPRESSIVE
HACKS! YOU TOUCHED THE BOSS WITHOUT DYING :P
Is normal :p that happens
omg. I can't beat this even on easy! I always die at the final stage!!
Holy shit @ last spellcard
Here's one thing I don't get - Why are the final spell cards SLIGHTLY easier than the previous ones?
They're usually a final test of endurance
It's like a wall of beauty and death. O.O
Me: so... you tell that the hardest game ever is "Hardest game" ?
creater of hardest game ever: Yes.
Me: NO! TOUHOU IS HARDEST GAME EVAH!
Truthfully...I haven't. I cant seem to find a GOOD download, cause evertime I download a game and open it, the bloody thing closes itself >_
holy fuck.... you're too good... too damn good *speechless*

Shinki reference and YuugenMagan reference.
this is begining to look like ikaruga
Did you just beat the boss a little over the songs songs runtime? like into the part where it starts to repeat?
Is this what hell looks like?
Am i the only one who thinks that most of these attacks look pretty simple...cause i play all games on normal...but this game looks freakin easy on lunatic
I've been playing Touhou for 5 years and I still can't beat it on Easy mode without using a continue on any of them.
It's been 5 years since you left this comment. Any progress now?
