Then the last boss has a number of easy patterns (on Normal). Most notably, the one with the blue lasers and blue bullets from her wings: you can just move back and forth between two spots and all but one time you'll end up in a dead zone from the bullets. I'm sure someone has found a movement pattern where you're always in a dead zone, but I prefer discovering these things on my own.  Patterns on Normal that almost always kill me / require a bomb: - st.3 boss's last spellcard (the two heads with eye-lasers) - st.4 boss's last spellcard (the one you have to wait out) - st.5 boss's 2nd-last spellcard (the two big green lasers, which always seem to corner me in an inescapable place T_T) - plus a bunch of the st.6 boss's attack patterns | ||

It's interesting how the way he (ZUN) uses lasers in this game initially forces you to dodge them on-reaction because it's very unlikely that you'll be able to predict where they're going to go without a lot of practice. I think that's why the laser patterns are so much less dense during the 5th boss: because he the knows the players will need to make a focused, conscious effort to dodge those, as opposed to relying on their core shmup skills. Actually, that's probably the reason why I find the 5th boss laser patterns to be relatively easy compared to the non-laser ones. The patterns will probably feel a lot more balanced for someone with a lot more core bullet dodging experience, where the conventional bullet patterns are "just as easy" as the laser ones. On a different note, I've heard people praise the Touhou games' music repeatedly, and now I understand why: I'm really enjoying the music for this game.  Right now I'm running the game solely to use the Music Room while doing other stuff.  I've noticed there are different BGMs for the different bosses. Were Touhou games always like this? I remember watching videos of Imperishable Night spellcards, and iirc they all had the same BGM in them. o.O | ||

If you are interested in touhou bgm, I know someone had just ripped 12 and 12.3 bgm and has everything out in flac+cue on torrent. Should you have interest in rearrangements, I highly recommend TAmusic, a doujin group focusing specifically on bringing classical rearrangements of anime/game/touhou songs. | ||

K, I gotta figure out how to clear the Nazrin Prism spellcard in Hard mode. Seems like it involves moving into the ring of prisms before the circle of bullets becomes too dense. I tried Lunatic as well and actually did better on that pattern since the prisms didn't extend out as far. =P | ||

Is there some sort of pattern or w.e. to these things or do you just have to be good? In those situations, I ignore the UFO stuff and everything else that's happening except for the bullets: I focus 100% on dodging them (while hoping that I'm actually killing stuff ). | ||

Curvy lasers still own me. Actually, I just played without audio and realize how much more difficult it was for me to play the game without audio cues. Timings and such are so much easier to derive when you have music/sound | ||

First half was pretty bad, score-wise, but in the second half I outdid myself. By the way, me > curvy lasers now. =D I learned that if I stay in a certain small area, there are only 3 lasers that I have to watch out for: one from my direct left, one from my direct right, and one that arcs down from the top-right. Since I'm only paying attention to these 3 trajectories, I can generally predict where they're going to go. Also, I learned a trick to clearing the sub-boss more easily: stay on the right for the blue patterns and stay on the left for the red patterns. | ||

That boss audio cue is new, at least I don't recall hearing it in SA. Or I was simply distracted by music, can't count that out. Now for someone to rip the tamusic albums, I need my touhou violin fix. | ||

Are some girls (the ones you use) better than others? I've looked at some touhou vids and everyone seems to use a different one T_T. What do tri-color UFO's do? They don't really drop anything when they die (kind of like blues ).Is it better to stock up on bombs or lives first? Or does it depend on the stage? What does the little "power up" from blue UFO's do? And is "Graze" just for cool points? | ||
