ZUN's musical cues have been observed to be very uncanny. Since he does all his own music composing as well, it is quite possible that he develops the music for a stage before he actually does the shot patterns and events, allowing him to time things to the music.
According to an interview I saw, he makes the music first, then he decides on everything else based on that. Not only the patterns, but also the characters, locations, and story
Uh, well, in a standard game (or Extra Stage), MoF awards lives based on score (20 million, 40 million, 80 million, 150 million). Lives also drop from the midbosses in stages 3 and 5 (this is traditional across the Touhou games). The reason I start with max lives here is because the run was done through practice mode.
Lots of practice and experience :P What makes it better is that this stage is far from the hardest ones that I've successfully tackled in terms of bombless/deathless runs.
Reimu is universally agreed upon as being the best shot in IN, MoF, and SA. In UFO and PCB, there's a little more leeway, but Reimu is still, for many, the best. In EoSD, Marisa is actually pretty good, so quite a few play as her (including me) :P
@bjwdestroyer In MoF, I think that Marisa weapon type B could be best, because when she has 3 bombs and either on focused or unfocused mode (I'm not sure which), a glitch causes her center laser to drain the health of various objects RIDICULOUSLY fast. Try it yourself.
Heh, this is the perfect opportunity to bring out the classic "every player has different weaknesses and strengths." As for Yumeko, yeah, that does sound hard :3
Satori is probably hardest when using ReimuA, and even then, I'd still say that Orin is harder than her. Sakuya is definitely the favorite for being the hardest Stage 5 boss, but Orin and Youmu should not be counted out too quickly. Both of them have very threatning cards, lack throwaways, and both last longer than Sakuya.
When fighting bosses (when he's using focus mode), a small red-ish circle is in the middle of the character. If the bullets don't hit that, no lives are lost.
You could at least say why Her needle shot has the most dps when focused on the enemy. This is offset by the fact she's abysmally slow in focus mode... a fact that many spellcards don't actually address in later levels because of the finall bosses tendency to only do one psychotic movement spell card rather than a few of them I almost always clear with Reimu, but I get much better scores as any other character because of their mobility
All of Sakuya's noncards are tough, although, they get progressively easier one by one. If anything, only Jack is easy, World and Killing Doll have some fucked up dodging. World lasts like, 1 iteration though. Orin is definitely an assflake, but I feel her cards can't bullshit you as much as Sakuya's (aside for Ghost Wheels, fuck that), and only one of her noncards poses an actual threat. I know nothing of Yumeko :3
Ah, this stage is a welcome change from the last one. Good job. What the hell Sakuya is below average for a stage 5 boss. Only 3 spell cards, and only one that poses a serious threat. Her normal attacks can be a pain, but she's not that tough compared to, say, Youmu. The hardest stage 5 boss is either Orin or Yumeko. Everyone knows Orin's a headache, but Yumeko from MS is a demon (literally lol). Even though her fight lasts for less than two minutes, she can drain as many lives as Orin.
You think Sakuya's non-spell cards are tough? Her first one, yeah, but I capture her other two regularly. ZA WARUDO has a trick I picked up that makes it much easier to dodge. On the other hand, you think Orin's normal attacks are easy? O_O They're harder than her actual spell cards IMO. For Yumeko, I could link you to a lunatic run of MS I used to study, but something tells me you don't care, so I'll sum her up as quickly as possible: Random dodging ultra speedy streaming attack from hell.
nintendonut888 Except Orin doesn't wall as much, doesn't have shitty RNG, and has safespots. Unlike Sakuya, no safespots, RNG bullshit, Killing Doll is absolute crap.

I think he does the same thing with Koakuma and the Stage 4 theme in EOSD
@@ShorkBoiyes he does

Really impressive play. Sanae is one of my favorite characters.

I find it funny how Sanae's final attack is the easiest in her whole fight.
Zun drunk?
Sanae is a beast, she's hard!
Sanae humbled me. I coasted through 10 and only had a problem with Momiji that two quick bombs fixed and then BOOM. Sanae became my brick wall LOL
I pretty sure I read somewhere that he builds the stage first, and then composes the music to match what's going on in the stage.

Why aren't the red stars fully drawn on the second part of this spell?
im pretty sure this spell hits the bullet cap, though im not sure
Jeez, and I have a tough time beating stage 4 in EoSD on normal! You make me feel like shit! XD

With lasers. I forgot to mention her streaming attack has lasers. It's hard. D:
Epic score multiplier counter is epic. XD

But missing all those point items is worse than death :(
Anyhow. Well played
Are you playing on a gamepad or keyboard?
what do they say?
More like satanic awesome.
More like circle of awesome.
My eyes hurt just by seeing the huge streams of bullets going all over the screen. How are you able to doge so many bulltes?
Is this Reimu A, B, or C?
A
@@God-ch8lq This is B. Reimu A is the homing one, while C is the wide range one.
@@sartouhou8349 ah yes, the needle one
Orly?
moar leik Mountain of Fail
Yeah, this is definitely not a scoring run, not to mention, seeing all those point items drop is indeed depressing :P
OMG
3:44 is like a circle of gay or something
Keyboard.
