This is like looking up and seeing an anvil fall towards you, only that you realize there must be some spaces in between the individual atoms composing the anvil and you might be able to survive if you could squeeze yourself in between those spaces.
Visited this video because I saw the wiki about Junko, and got me interested: _"Her spell cards violate the spirit of the spell card rules. While the rules were in part designed to prevent bloodshed, Junko has multiple spell cards made to kill."_ No wonder why Junko's attacks have very tiny gaps, they're indeed made to sure to hit you, rather than look beautiful
She is the embodiment of fury. You wont bother with patterns if your entire being is just made of pure rage. I never understood why people hated her attacks. It represents her perfectly.
@@TunesByAI2024 Because representing a character thematically shouldn't come at the cost of good gameplay. And Junko is very frustrating to play for this kind of run and reads to some as an excuse to make borderline placeholder patterns.
You tunnel vision yourself on spaces that actually matter, but then again i also have a hard time tracking it on tunnel vision that i would probably dies atleast 6 times on third phase of the last spell card.
@@TheGraySeed yeah it feels like you either focus entirely on a circle around your hitbox to survive, so you end up locking yourself between a three-way crossfire, or you attempt to expand that field but you start losing track of everything going on. gonna take plenty of sleepless nights and sandpaper eyes till you can pull that one off.
It's actually not that complicated once you break it down. The mistake newcomers to Danmaku make is they focus too much on bullets that are just for show. You need to concentrate on a small section just ahead of your hitbox to process what is coming. It also takes PRACTICE, these patterns aren't random, they will stay the same every gameplay. Once you get the muscle memory down then you start to focus on what matters and how to respond to it. What people may find hard is having the confidence not to look directly at your hitbox, but instead look ahead and gauge how much of a gap your hitbox needs to dodge. Anyone who's interested in Danmaku should definitely give Touhou a try. The characters, soundtrack and memes are amazing, and all this work comes from 1 person.
Little known fact btw: the purple and yellow fireballs (i.e. the ones that cover the bottom half of the screen on Modern Divine Spirit World) have, counterintuitive as it is, SMALLER hitboxes than the pink and red ones; it is in fact safer to always dodge MDSW at the bottom and never at the top. You would think it doesn't matter since you dodge MDSW at the side and thus aren't under Junko anyway, but ZUN decided that fireballs having a different colour should change their hitbox. Amazing.
That's irrelevant to the point I'm making here. The point is that you would think bottom or top is irrelevant, because logically the hitboxes would have the same size... but they don't.
There's not much reason to, and people usually do the spell at the bottom anyway, but I was discussing the hitboxes alone, unrelated to what players actually do in practice.
I really love her "Cleansing of earthern impurity" spell and what it represents Feels like it channels all the negative/imperfect parts of being human and uses that energy against you Really fucking cool
what i find a little humorous as to why junko is so difficult is because her spell cards technically break spell card rules cause her attacks are aimed with the intent to kill outright
@@user_5999 I started with this game. I played on normal+pointdevice. After a long time with a LOT of tries I only made it as far as stage 3 before quitting and much later, trying again on EZ MODO. I was able to finish it but the shame of playing EZ MODO will follow me forever onward.
Meanwhile I'm just sitting here moderately proud to have beaten Lunatic Junko at all... using Pointdevice Mode. I can't imagine the frustration every time you had to have gotten screwed over by "A Pristine Danmaku Hell" right at the end of a run. At least now you can forget about the whole "I'm never going to no-miss Junko" thing from way back. Would you say that PDH still is harder than "Hidden Breezy Cherry Blossom" (Lunatic) though? And I never actually knew the spell history could do that. I assume it's from capturing a spell 100 times, since the spell history doesn't go higher than that in the newer games.
@@Niiue Granted, I'm the sort of person to bite off way more than I can chew. Like deciding to beat ISC without items or subitems. Sukuna and Mamizou are still stopping me from progressing with that to this day.
Man, even when watching this I can't jam to the music because I'm busy looking at the bullet patterns to see if _I_ could pathfind my way around them (To no one's surprise: probably not)
5:00 that moment always scaaaared me... panic overcome my brain. I never beat this game on normal mode because of that even after hours of (bad) training
Now do it with Marisa. Seriously though , grats. It took me a very long time to do this too and I know how much effort goes into this. Congratulation , you are super player!
some of these attacks look deceptively easy, "modern divine spirit world" and "lilies of murderous intent" being 2 of them. looks easy, stupid in practice.
Lmao I had the same experience, I beat EoSD, thought I was hot shit, decided to play SoEW, UFO and LoLK because they're apparently the pinnacle of difficulty and then immediately regretted my decisions Good times

@@rgenc42721 Surprisingly it kinda was, took me a while to pull a 1cc but honestly it might as well be the game with the most difficult extra stage after LLS, Nue herself was easy but my God that build up with the UFOs and Kogasa was just cancer.

I tried LoLK, instantly dropped it (I'm ass at shmups, how did you guess), then came back later (which was last week), played it again, then lost all my lives and continues to clownpiece.

Dude fucking nice. I know some people were giving you shit for your comment but props to you man. What suddenly inspired you to try Junko perfect of all things?
i dont know either luck or just my laptop gave me pity, been plying for 2 weeks in normal pointdevice using reisen and somehow the laptop overheat itself and the game lag ~25~30 fps after 253 retry on clownpiece and maintained to junko, i dont know what happened but the framerate return after junko final spell, i only open a browser and lolk at the time

Hey everything is 90% empty space, so is viable
You put it so perfectly
@donhimesamadaifutariThe wat
Through quantum tunneling, I am able to barely survive.
Fun fact: this game was planned to have an overdrive difficulty
Really?? Is there a source on that?
It was based on IWBTG
True I have See it Once But IDK why They were a Not an Update :l
what kind of lunatic woukd play that.

How would you have designed her attacks to fit her perfectly?
You know it's bad when the spell card makes your graze sound like a tazer
Never i thought circles would be so terrifying.
*Yuyuko taught me nothing*
Therefore, I taught you circles are terrifying in my last spell
@Aditya A Circles of butterflies
The butterflies are annoying as hell since they keep trapping me I can't get to my yukari senpai because of them TwT
The circles are the true challenge of the last spell in every difficulties to be honest...
@@randomspartanhoe4501 Circle of life, circle of death!
I like junko's theme a lot, too. It sounds... shiny.
i liked it before i played lolk, then i like it with a burning hatred.
It sounds like Revenge + Lunarian genocide
For some reason it did yes,
How a human being is even capable of processing all the shit on screen during that last spell card is beyond me.....

junko purified her danmaku to simply be for murder but reimu forced her to at least name it
I really love her "Cleansing of earthern impurity" spell and what it represents

Her Pristine Lunacy spell though, that one can die in a fire.
Bendy lasers that come back 2 times and overlap with the next wave is Satan.

Me : "i fear no-"
"Guess I'm wrong"
You couldn’t even finish the sentence lol
In case there are newcomers reading this. This is not extra stage. This is regular stage.
Also dont start with this game.
Also just don’t play this game in general
to newcomers: play it. best touhou game

You actually did it. The absolute madman. Kudos to you.
Lmao that's amazing, never thought you'd even take a glance at this game anymore.
Hopefully now people will stop mentioning that dead as fuc quote.
Junko's final spellcard omg. One struggles to breathe in an atmosphere of 80% bullet
5:25 Jaimers signature victory dance®
The fact that most non spells and spell cards of Junko are like patterns of a regular shmup boss.
4:05 I just realize that Junko was laughing Maniacally or something
She's doin' a stylish dance
Can we appreciate how perfectly timed the music is to the spellcards from 3:03 to 3:43? What a great game.
thanks to this game i can dodge every freaking droplet of rain
No shit the rain attack (Suwako’s “Kero-Chan braves the wind and rain”) is 100 times easier than whatever Junko is
why mama is angry
mama baby is kil
It's stressful just to watch this, holy crap.

i barely defeated her at normal

@@Niiue Granted, I'm the sort of person to bite off way more than I can chew. Like deciding to beat ISC without items or subitems. Sukuna and Mamizou are still stopping me from progressing with that to this day.
@@NiiueBeing that it's one of the hardest (in my opinion) touhou games, getting to easy when it's your second is no simple feat. Congrats 😌
HBCB is way harder than PDH. You can get somewhat consistent with PDH but HBCB can just decide to kill you whenever it wants
This is evidence that circles are evil and you'll need to find the most narrow of spaces to avoid getting hit at all.
Man, even when watching this I can't jam to the music because I'm busy looking at the bullet patterns to see if _I_ could pathfind my way around them
(To no one's surprise: probably not)
2:04 Junko seems to have learned something from Cirno
On one hand, I'm happy you managed to pull this feat off.
On the other, I feel so bad for you, because you played LoLK just for this.
5:00 that moment always scaaaared me... panic overcome my brain. I never beat this game on normal mode because of that even after hours of (bad) training

That's a lot of dedication.
So this is what it looks like when a gensokyo resident is actively trying to off you...Scary.
honestly when you remember that LOLK is inspired by IWBTG it kinda makes sense why you did Kamilia in the first place.
Ooh, I remembered that comment, nice to see you finally conquered that past
for some reason watching how you play is like looking at an art
Lol I saw this and instantly thought of that quote. Well done, at last.

Oh my God that's crazy!!!! Why is every girl named Junko so cool?? XD

he did it bois

But are designed so that you will be hit.
