In this stage it's important to remember that this isn't a harder version of the last stage like most Phantasm Stages, it's completely doing its own thing. However many of the mechanics remain the same, a big one being giant wide bursts of danmaku from early fairies and similar rapid fire bursts you need to stream as well. Most everything else in the stage is fairly reactionary, however those in particular you're gonna want to remember ahead of time.
Mid-bosses aren't as threatening this time around if only because they've got less attacks to their name. Yukari shows up with only one spell that focuses mainly in side to side movement and looking ahead to make sure you don't get trapped. Suika also appears as the second mid-boss, but practically speaking she behaves more like a warm-up for what she's about to do as the boss proper.
That being said, Suika is powerful as hell and is no stranger to hurling gigantic attacks straight at you. Emphasis on straight however, cause even the strongest punch moves in a straight line. Many of her attacks will either involve misdirecting massive attacks aimed at you, or just getting the hell out of dodge when a giant boulder comes crashing down from off screen.

And this is why Suika is best oni. Still kinda wish Onigashima in the Fairyland was her theme instead of Broken Moon but its still aight.
Kinda wish it was not heavy metal too. Suika's theme is my least favorite one in the soundtrack because of that.
11:41 Gengetsu called, she wants her signature murdertime attack back.
At least suika is doable unlike gengetsu xd
@@jambon2730 doable?
@@brunoalonsocardenaslopez8137 streaming tactics. Works like a charm!
I'm pretty sure Reimu did wake up (that fight was pretty loud... it'd be weird if she didn't), was to lazy to take care of it, and went back to sleep. Didn't wanna deal with whatever was going on outside.
Thing is, she's a playable character and goes this route as well
@@sparktwochristopher7240 oh, I'm aware. But not right now. It's Marisa's scenario right now.
This game definitely looked beautiful, and there were a lot of unique spells and takes on certain characters! I definitely feel you on the difficulty; I only play the main games on Normal but I feel like the Phantasm stage was the only thing that looked tough here. I don't think every game needs to be hard though, and like you said, this could be a great starting point for newcomers. Thanks for playing it and showing it off!!
This makes up for the ease of the extra stage, by a mile! Been waiting for this one!
1:40 Why is this just Okina's spring final?
3:20 Kriemhild Gretchen reference
Isn't Kriemhild Gretchen the witch of salvation. Mercy is her nature
@@Oneandten it an eror. In the description and on the wiki label it “Witch of Salvation”
Why the hell are the last two nonspells literally just Gengetsu's final, especially the last. Seriously, even outside the timeout phase lookalike (whose popular name I shall not say due to obvious reasons), that's pretty much identical to Gengetsu's final. Combine that with this having _yet another freaking reference to Danmaku Bounded Field..._ (Seriously, those run rampant in fanworks, from what I've heard) I'm convinced they ran out of ideas by this point.
Also I love how you did a No Bomb run of the main game, Extra and Phantasm without even trying, that's how laughably easy this game is.
-Yes, they built the Space Colony ARK for the next incident-
Oh boy, FFF up next...? Can't wait for the massive stage 1 video talking about _seven_ playable characters... and then the massive stage 4 video where said seven playable characters are bosses... Not to mention Gore's games are basically... "how many mechanics/gimmicks do you want in your game?" "yes"
To the point where survival might as well not exist, making his games scoring games basically, with how trivial survival becomes. But you know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Also not a fan about how most art in his games is traced though.
I’m excited to, the damaku project I’m working on was inspired by FFF, but I’m going with Very tame and basic special mechanic. But working on a lot of playable characters
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in the difficulty of FDF2, especially after enjoying (pre-nerf) FDF1 and its difficulty quite a bit.
I can forgive danmaku bounded field here though, since the game is a retelling of PCB, and PCB's Phantasm stage *is* where it originally appeared.
Well, I would say that having a dimensional breach beats having the front yard bombarded with meteors, so Marisa can be at ease.
And I don't know nothing about that Forbidden Frantic Fruit, but I hear Rumia's theme and I'm excited.
I have two suggestions for games to play:
ZeroRanger, an absolute love letter to the shooter genre in general, along with being just...an awesome game in general. A game with...7-ish levels, I think? tricky to remember.
Monolith, a rougelite based around bullet hells. Really awesome,. really fun, and plenty of challenge and fun to be had. Grand total of 6 stages, 2 extra stages and just some awesome bosses.
Well, Zeroranger's one of the options on the poll. When it wins I'll play it
Monolith however... maybe in the future. I'm not against it, but it is a tad outside my wheelhouse for this channel for the time being.
ZeroRanger has 3 levels, looped twice, plus 1 where you don't have weapons and have to stay collided with the boss for a few seconds to damage it.
After that one, though, the game has 3 levels.
If I recall correctly.
@@IllusionistsBane you likely forgot 1-4, the reason why I say seven, as 2-4 isn't really a stage, just the final boss.
@@tomlynmathewsjr7514 1-4 is the roulette part, right?
@@IllusionistsBane Yeah it's where you encounter Erasure/Regret. After infiltrating GREEN ORANGE
don't be shy Suika just gives you a wrecking ball
Been excited for this
I didn't even have to listen to the whole ending monolouge, and just had to look at the blurry background to know the next game is Frantically Forbidden Fruit, one of my personal favorite Touhou fangames.
16:12 I recently realized that Yukari holds Suika´s body.
Welp, that was a worthy trip going through FDF 2, that game's really crazy when it comes to the Danmaku.
Next up, FFF...
Welp, I don't know much about it.
But from remembering it all, just get ready for another trip full of familiar faces.
The madman, he actually did it.
Her fan theme is so ROCK!!!!
"Suika?"
"Ye, whu'isshit?"
"What happened to the dinosaurs?"
"I dunno, man, I wush drunk an' they-- they ditched me."
Yup, I have the same sentiments like you for the game in the end. And I think this is one very divisive game in terms of its fans and critics, both with good arguments. I mean heck, almost all gameplay videos of FDF2 has a small discourse below it, yours as well.
In general I like it though, it's easy enough to pick up and play from time to time without demanding any heavy memorization or mad skills, and the eye candy makes the ride enjoyable to the end. And that's what's important for any danmaku game in the end, being fun to play through one way or another.
Also, from one controversial game to another. I have heard bad things about FFF, and I have heard from some other players as to why it's really bad, but I wanna hear fron you on your thoughts. Good luck!
Did you notice that her two last nonspells are themed after Gengetsu's last phase?
Oh dear, it's time for FFF next time. That's going to be an...interesting ride.
1:05 It was probably meant to serve as foreshadowing.
I'm still not sure why Suika can use Gengetsu's *[REDACTED BY RUclips FILTER]* Time.
Now that I think about it, if they're making re-tellings of the games, I'm sure everyone would love to see the PC-98 games...
Also, while marisa is probably your first choice, I'd totally recommend playing as best girl Yuuka in FFF
Yes, let’s tell koishi to lock his character select like in SSS
@@foxxbaker yes! I like this thinking 😂
Or we can make a petition saying he has to play her and have people sign it
@Dung Tran Quang Would you expect anything less from Yuuka?
(If you want to go straight to seeing my final thoughts, skip to the end of the comment.)
Legit the first thing I did with this video was skip to Yukari's midboss spell to see how many tries this took Omega... I mean even on his second try he still got thrown to his last legs, so I'd say that's the Phantasm's job well-done.
Now as for the actual stage... honestly I really hated this stage when I first saw it, but now that I've actually taken time to breathe it in I think it's pretty great. Sure, the stage is inaccurate to the Extra (though it still follows other Phantasm traditions, like the Extra boss being the midboss and the eleventh spell timeout), but I do really like the huge variety of patterns it has. We have the spring-based fairies (with an awfully specific callback to Hidden Breezy Cherry Blossom), some eldritch enemies, and a bunch of fire-based enemies at the end. Plus I like the midbosses, especially Suika's spell with how the bullets shift from one type to another.
And her boss fight... yeah, again, I used to hate it, but I've definitely changed my mind. Her attacks have so much force to them, it's seriously amazing to watch and fitting for Suika, and I like the fire-based theme she goes for - which is what FDF is all about, taking long-established characters and reinventing their attack styles. My only big complaint with the fight is the music, but even then it really takes the force of the battle further.
Favourite spells here are Night Parade of a Million Demons (for a reason mentioned), Crumbling of the Sky and the Earth (love the shifting walls mechanic), The Day of Amaterasu's Demise (seriously unique setup very fitting for a timeout) and, of course, Profound Danmaku Barrier. This is definitely my favourite PCB reference in the game, it's such a classic and it's in the perfect place with enough originality and new life put into it. Plus Yukari changes her look and even spell declaration portrait for the spell.
...so, overall, that was FDF Part II. While I'll never like it as much as the original FDF (post-nerf), I'm still in simple awe of the sheer beauty and polish of the game. My biggest complaint is that the game's too dependant on PCB callbacks at times, with said callbacks ranging from great (Profound Danmaku Barrier) to absolutely terrible (Stage 5 in general).
Also while this series kind of started with Omega and I disagreeing with the game's difficulty, now that he's said his true final thoughts I actually think our views are kind of similar. Resources are handled really generously, but asides from that average difficulty or a bit higher.
As for your next game... uh... I've never shown any interest in FFF, but I guess I'll stick around for the ride.
OMG! FFF TRANSLATION IS DONE!!!!! I tried looking at it before and stave 3-5 get extremly weird
Just realized that during the last SpellCard, Yukari's art doesn't have the eldritch theme.
I agree about the difficulty of this game ... I 1cc the lunatuc on my third try. And this despite the fact that in none of the official parts of the touhou I could not do the 1cc lunatic, although I made enough attempts.
i could only think of one thing during your fight against suika... reimu is going to be so pissed
When i saw the first non spell i thought to myself "this is gonna become that time out right"
Looks like it was accurate
Luckily it is aimed though, so much easier than the original
-profound danmaku barrier- shin danmaku kekkai kyuukyouuehann
That last Suika nonspell giving heavy Gengetsu vibes ngl
That's LITERALLY what it is, minus the fact that the Mach 573 bullets are aimed instead of random.
6:07 my take on Yukari is as follows: you will think whatever it is she wants you to think. And Suika, as she is in this conversation is proof. Not to mention what Suika said about Yukari in IaMP...
It's easier to just take what Yukari says at face value because of this, and generally assume she's telling the truth, because there's no telling what the truth is when she's involved. The only exceptions I can think of are... well...
Oh good lord, FFF
We are in for a looooong ride
Waiiiiiit a minute! Is the Phantasm Stage the Hakurei Shrine Road?
Feels just like Len'en, if you ask me.
4:21 Then what's Nitori?
How do i unlock the phantasm stage I beat the extra stage but do i have to capture a bunch of spell cards like in touhou 7?
18:16 Now that I think about it, Yukari implied that SOMEONE was the cause of this strange energy...
Could it be that the Moonbitches did this?
Likely Lovecraft Gods since Yukari drawn out the power from that letter.
@@sparktwochristopher7240 Oh crap. We're gonna deal with Nyarlathotep and the likes?
Sanae won't be of much help as she'll go mad on sight.
note to self, don't fuck with the drunk oni.
5:36 Did Suika just pull off a Mystia?
someone really liked gengetsu
What is that graze box size?!
Can you add the shattered sky to the poll?, its basically sort of a prequel to servants of harvest wish (it was made by the same team), the one thing that stands out from the game is the art, the art is... special to say the least. BUT the gameplay is very good and it's also in english, (Just like SoHW).
You'll see it soon. The reason it's not on the poll is cause it's already won.
I'm playing FFF right now, after that I'll be playing HSoB and then after that will be TSS
ok then
I have a suggestion: Elegant Impermance of Sakura.
I'll play it soon enough, it is technically an option on the poll. However, like other games of this type I'm going to be playing the first games the devs did before moving onto EIoS (like how I played Len'en in order, or the ido/Oyasu games in order). In this case, The Unvisible Wing is an option on the poll first.
@@aggressor9360 Yeah, pretty much.... That one was my bad. I kinda didn't realize that was a thing until people pointed it out _after_ FFF won
21:21 Wait! Who is that feather supposed to imply?
Congrats! Now we can take a look at the rarest pool ever, the one which is only seen very rarely during the year, the Not-Script-Pool :V
My thoughts for the boss:
I wonder why Suika is throwing brown candis cugarblock at you, the rocks really do look like them.
I think in the fight is in totall not so spectacular as it could be, they are only focusing on nothing more than " Suika slams the ground " or rocks in your face, ignoring all of her other potential stuff. But thats not a big deal.
Back to the rocks, I dont know why they needed to make a circular rock bullet, without a small trace of the real hitbox on top of the actuall rock, it would not be ugly, if there would be a glowing center on the rock, but this game has some other bullets-issues.
The music is fine and nice but the fight is way more intense, than the music itself is, the music does not really support the heavy physical attacks of Suika perfect.
Back to the game, my first thought is, this is a game for newcomers and especially for people of all groups due to the fact, how easy it is; nothing wrong with a easy games, which just wants to give you a nice time.
I personally like the visuals, I love redesigns of characterclothes, something many 2hu-fangames tend to ignore, like people did not change clothes?? I think this makes a world more consistent, if the figures act like real beings, beings with more than 1 pair of shoes.
I wont say anything about bulletgraphics, there are like 20000 comments already.
But 60% of the gameplay in terms of patterns is really not that amazing, most of the pattern are visual appealing but thats it.
Most of the time you can beat the game with plain streaming and microsteps - but this is fine, its not a game made for hardcore shmupers, thats why I only see wasted potential rather something to worry about.
About the story, with games like 2hugensowanderer-reloaded existing, I dont need 2hu shmups with great story.
I am finished.
The next game will be super fruit game, I think my friend played it before 3 years, so I forgot everything already.
Hmmm...2hugamers be like, anything is gimmick-hell, if its not just border-mechanic :v

Hey, is there a way for you to make people vote on multiple games at once? I ask that because I feel that, with the number of games on the list, being able to vote on up to three games would be very useful.
I remember that if you're a Patreon sub, you can get one extra vote for the games. Correct me if I'm wrong though
@@korohacker Yeah, that's how it works. There's separate polls given to my patreons where you can vote additional times, plus those votes get carried over to the next poll.
Frantically Forbidden Fruit? Are you going to do all the last words as well?
This is probably my favorite part of this game. Stage is alright but I don't like how most of it is streaming. Suika herself is always great as ever. Also Why is Danmaku Fielded Barrier there? It's unoriginal at this point and not fun imo
also very long name kyoukyuunehann
would have been perfect if the arrange is anything but broken moon
Ah, FFF, the game that barely scrapes by ZUN's license of reused assets.
Oh dear, if you didn't like the resource problem in FDF2, you will hate FFF
