@@Eckef *3 years later* yeah the green dot overlaps with multiple projectiles but takes no damage, it's definitely like one pixel, at which point what is the rest of the model for, to confuse people?
@@harrogeorge7878 The rest of the model is likely so you're not just piloting a few small pixels. They want the characters to look good too.

+Potato:3 This is late, but this is really kind of hilariously ironic. In the beginning of the first game, a message pops up saying that only earthlings could play this and extraterrestrials weren't allowed.
It's fairly intuitive once you realize that about 90% of bullets on screen are either for intimidation or for assisting shape recognition. In reality there are usually only about 5-10 entities on screen you actually care about and need to pay attention to at any given time.
The design of this boss is so meticulous. The music choice and decision to go slow for the final two phases was brave, but it works. It tests pretty much all skills needed for this game. Panic/fast evasion, slow and focused evasion with broad vision, and exploitation of bullet patterns in the last phase to realize where you need to be to survive (rotating along the outside edge of the boss's barrier on the opposite side of the large purple bullets). The music and art only work for it and provoke the intended reaction. The color choice for the bullets and player character allow you to avoid getting lost. It's one of THE bosses in video games of all time.
The true final boss looks intense, but not CRAZY. It's almost as if the player is performing a really slow dance with it: not much movement is involved, but one misstep can mean death. I think the music also helps this.
Such an overwhelming amount of bullets….. *jaw drops to the ground* this is something you would expect from Cave. A crazy amount of bullets on screen whether it’s horizontal or vertical.
In fact, at the beginning of the boss battle, when Reco confronts Larsa, the dialogue even goes like this... *LARSA:* Aki... my dear, sweet Aki! How dare you! *RECO (regretfully):* Aki's death... it's my doing-- *LARSA:* SILENCE!!! You impudent _brat!_
@@Tunade5Aki(her son)that she kept mentioning throughout the battle is the final boss of mushihimesama,which is killed by reco,larsa wanted to avenge her son
+matteste Bought the entire package with the soundtrack and 1.5 -version. Best purchase in a long time for me. Soundtrack is amazing and in MP3. Lots of really pretty cards to unlock too. My first proper japanese bullet hell-ish game unless you count Jamestown (the indie game), so DAMN FUN.
What? matteste was right 7 months ago when he wrote that comment - Mushihimesama was released on Steam in November 2015. Or are you writing about November 2016?

That violin though, I used to have this theme on my MP3 player just for that insane violin, awesome music But I miss the lady's arrogant laughter in the score
I know how even lunatic Touhou is nothing compared to this, but with logic that ZUN tweaks the difficulty of the game on Lunatic compared to his skills and he's getting better, maybe one day his game's just too hard for gamers even on Normal, or even beat this.
Larsa: You... You killed Aki my son! You... Scumbag!!!! Reco: But... Aki was trying to kill everyone! Larsa: SILENCE!!! You'll pay for this with your life!!! *Larsa's Quotes* "Gyah! I was just getting started! Ahahahaha!" "Escape this." "AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! You think you can defeat Dragon Emperion?! The most Powerful Being ever to exist?!" "Impossible!!! Why you..." "Ahahaha!!! This isn't the end! Ahahaha!" "Dragon Emperion was just the appetizer. Now you'll see my REAL power."
GODLY, indeed. Majr props on beating this one without dying even once. I'll need to finish a lot more bullet hells before I feel like I can take this game on. XD
I just now noticed how the giant ugly Larsa turned into the Regal Looking woman with the dragon thematic that appears in an artwork. I wonder if she used to look like this before going insane.
Not gonna lie, the requirements to meet this TLB is much harder than the actual boss itself. I could never get to spiritual Larsa without dying in a 1cc god mode run, but I can beat this boss without dying in practice mode.
Elise's Spiderling True story, I played resident evil 4 on acid once. Things looked like they were on fire, parts of the ground looked like flowing water , i kept seeing leons face as bloody.
At least she doesn't heal herself or force you to shoot floating blocks in order to do any sort of damage to her. Imagine if she got her hands on the Heart of Mars from Jamestown...
But it has the Dark Souls of tutorials. I'm kidding. Even I could probably beat the tutorial in that game without breaking a controller. If I actually got the game...
There is a third part to the first phase of Spiritual Larsa where the orbs rotate around her. Yes, I know. It's a very late comment to an otherwise old video.
Yeah. Inbachi from DoDonPachi, Another STG game by CAVE (the same people who made this) Believe me when i say that it's tons worse than this bossfight. This is considered the easiest true last boss in CAVE's bullet hells
+hollowedhope Because it's genuinely hard. Reaching this level of skill is not something that you can easily achieve. Takes a lot of practice and thinking. Reaction speed, pattern reading, memorization, patience, serenity while dealing with so many bullets... All of these things must come together and reach a whole new level to be able to take on this sort of challenge.
Queen Larsa makes Omega Flowey look like a joke! She is literally a billion times harder than Omega Flowey, she may not have the power to alter timelines, but she can unleash an insane bullet hell, anyone who can legitimately beat her is a god of top-down shooters, that itself is an accomplishment.
Well, actually, pretty much every REAL bullethell boss makes omega flowey look like a walk in the park. Undertale bosses tend to be difficult only because you have a larger hitbox than in most other bullethells
My thoughts in order: -Wow, that thing is big. I guess that makes an easy target. -JESUS CHRIST HOW DO YOU DO THIS -No seriously how are you supposed to beat this thing -Jegus fuck even TOUHOU doesn't get this bad! -I can't even fucking see the character anymore! -WHAT THE FUCK HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE /THAT/ -...Okay so she goes from having this badass epic theme to something that sounds like a soap opera. I quit.
How you do that? You get a feel for the game, keep track of the generalized pattern of various attacks, and make sure you move in a minimalist fashion so that you aren't hit by any of them. As a matter of fact, the bullets are slow enough that it looks like Super Hexagon is harder.
@@Justnothing777 Okay, if you want more shmup sections just go for Mass Attack's side game and many pre-final bosses from the series (I won't spoil you too much)

During that last little bit I actually lost sight of the character.
You're not the only one.
Kazuma Mishamura ,congrats you're an average human being
the player was following the spiral, but had the side shots at the bottom.
It's because the video quality is shit
That moment when seemingly even the frame drops are factored into the game's difficulty and balance.
Correct. Bullet Hells use slowdowns to give the player a chance to dodge otherwise fucking impossible bullet patterns.
