Touhou 12 - Undefined Fantastic Object - Perfect Stage 6 Lunatic

A run of UFO stage 6 without dying and bombing.
Here's part 3 of the crazy that happened on 18th of April 2010.
In a timespan of less than 3 hours I managed to perfect EoSD stage 5 and UFO stage 5 and 6. It's been around a year now since I started playing Touhou so this was quite a nice birthday present~
Damn, this came out of nowhere. I never had any intentions of actively perfecting Byakuren, this just sort of "happened". Not going to complain though! :V
Sort of dropped the whole no UFO's thing here as it really does not make any difference anyway. If any, it makes it HARDER because you have to move around the screen more. Besides, just sitting there doing nothing is at the same time boring to play and watch. So yeah, this is just me dicking around during the stage portion.
Byakuren is a challenging final boss.
The hardest part of the fight is with her first card and second noncard, although it remains hard throughout the rest of the fight.
Overall one of my favorite final bosses.
And no, I totally did not steal that LFO strategy from Phar, what are you talking about? :V

[@AkiiReina]

4:26 the timing between Byakuren's lasers and the music is impeccable

[@Akumasama]

Byakuren's spells are so damn memorable, wow.

[@SeraphRyan]

-Yes I know this a year old comment- Most of them are taken from the PC-98 touhou, Mystic Square's final boss Shinki. Take a look at the old game and her spellcards, they are based off them :P

[@Garzaromera]

To me they are memorable in the sense of how they are a sort of recollection of how the PC 98 era was as a sort of tribute to them, and with emotional skyscraper sounding weirdly nostalgic brings me to the conclusion that this game was a bit of a call back/tribute to those games, especially Byakuren thought the spell cards are made to be more grandious in a way, and since this was the game that ended the 1st Windows era it would good to make it so that it acknowledges their existence, That one cameo fro Yuka on Th9 wasn't much so I this is the best way ZUN could have referenced the Touhou PC-98 games. I really like Great Magic "Devil's recitation".

[@NeoNickz]

​@@SeraphRyanonly one is from pc98 though?

[@utsuhoreiuji9850]

The Terrible Bullet Dodger so tru, so tru

[@marthedge]

I just want to say that this perfect run is a good reference for the musical build-up around Holy Maelstrom. Even the timing for Devil's Recitation firing the red lasers was perfect. This video is perfect basically.

[@TheBakaCirno]

Byak : "It's fine i copied some parts from Shinki" 4:05

[@oceanman2011]

Plot twist: Shinki taught Byakuren how to do one of her moves back when Reimu fought in Makai.

[@pastry2hu]

I like how it's so quiet, and then boom, Byakuren's theme begins to play. Best drop ever

[@helioknight9570]

Fun little fact about Devil's Recitation. Shinki is often thought of as a "Satan" type of character; in other words, the Devil. And Recitation refers to the action of repeating something from memory or from a list of facts. So Devil's Recitation literally means Shinki's Repeat or Memory of Shinki or something like that.

[@awe9217]

Helio Knight I knew that deja vu feeling was correct

[@TheQuashingoftheTub]

Helio Knight I love your profile pic.

[@dragonboimmdvideos]

Shinki is Satan while Byakuren is Jesus lol

[@guy_th18]

nah, recitation isn't used in this sense

[@NEETKitten]

Adding to this is the fact that the entire spellcard is just Shinki's final form/attack.

[@boisterously6553]

2:52 *THE LAZERS SYNC*

[@MordecaiWalfish]

The game so insane it can be legitimately used as ransomware. Imagine in the future all computers are locked behind this game and a specialized force of Touhou experts are needed worldwide to help people regain control of their systems. Hahahaha, I actually wouldn't mind that kind of future.

[@winstonrhock9021]

Mordecai Walfish you sir are a dumbass and a nerd.

[@MordecaiWalfish]

Guilty =)

[@lhotrosana]

Mordecai Walfish Someone did a virus for that. The victim is forced to play the Lunatic Mode of UFO, until you reach a certain high score. Yep the world is doooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed. but Cirno is still baka

[@Awalys]

Wait, are you aware of the actual virus or are you some sort of prophet?

[@sath6089]

This comment is still a mystery to me since someone did create a ransomware with UFO.

[@JaimersSTG]

Pausing there causes the purple and red waves to not overlap and form a near solid wall. Or yellow and purple don't remember.

[@werewook]

Finally, someone who doesn't use Sanae.

[@helioknight9570]

I use Marisa.

[@blu_wraith6693]

I mean, in a game where it feels like 25%+ of the challenge sometimes is just trying to hit the boss....... Homing shots as your main damage could be useful :)

[@helioknight9570]

+Blu_Wraith I prefer the challenge. Besides, I like Marisa better than Reimu.

[@blu_wraith6693]

Helio Knight well whatever floats your boat :) (But I do think thats the main reason sanae and sakuya are picked very often, homing shots make it so you just have to worry about doging)

[@helioknight9570]

But if you only dodge and abuse Homing bullets you become reliant on them.

[@williewillus]

This clear of Byakuren's fight is essentially the *perfect* showcase of how well timed Emotional Skyscraper is with the fight Non 1: Introduction to the song Spell 1 (Good Omen): First verse Non 2: Repeat of introduction Spell 2 (Magic Butterfly): Second verse Non 3: finishing out second verse/Pre-bridge section Spell 3 (Milky Way): Bridge section Non 4: Climax (kind of strange when you think of it that this song climaxes on a nonspell, but it works) Spell 4 (Devil's Recitation): Repeat of climax, then build up to the second climax as the lasers come in. All out now! Spell 5 (Superhuman): Repeat of second climax Spell 6 (Legendary Flying Saucer): Repeat of original theme/first verse, bringing the song and fight to a close This theme took a long time to "click" for me, but now it's one of my favorites.

[@ByakurenHijiri]

Man, I can't believe I fell in love with one of ZUN's sprites

[@pcdeltalink036]

Man, that buildup from 2:41 to 2:53 and then the bit that starts there and goes till 3:21. I'm just crying listening to that it sounds so good.

Too amazing to put it into words. That was totally awesome. Leave me speechless. Someday, somehow I'm going to be capable of doing a Lunatic perfect run too, doesn't matter how long it takes. Your videos are totally inspirational, please keep up the perfect job and keep us amazed as always.

this touhou in my opinion is the hardest 1

Here's one thing I don't get - Why are the final spell cards SLIGHTLY easier than the previous ones?

[@guy_th18]

They're usually a final test of endurance

[@thecarrshow3934]

does UFO have a bullet max on the screen because it looks like the third nonspell has some breaks in it possibly due to reaching the limit

[@BrownDragonBoy]

Sorry for the bad word, but how the fuck can you capture Byakuren's last spell? I was tryting to do it only that spellcard for 4 years now, only on Normal difficulty, without any success. She just doesn't want to die for that spellcard.

[@MrTheboomboxer]

I have 1cc'd touhou 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13. But UFO is the hardest to me. Why? Because of captain Murasa. But this is some fine gameplay here, i am nowhere near as strong as you.

[@DopeioThePhoneBoi]

Funny thing, Shou is what keeps me from true 1CC on Normal. I have it rather easy til' her. Those curvy lasers are just too formidable. Then Byakuren cleans up the shriveled husk that Shou leaves behind within her first few spells and non spells. I have yet to see devil's recitation. ;-;

[@fcnth]

+TooEliteForYou My reason for not 1ccing UFO is because I'm an idiot and I always clip multiple times on Stage 4 even though it's easy as hell. And then there's Shou's 3rd and 4th spells which chomp on my bombs like fucking piranhas. Cue Byakuren's impossible boss battle after that and you'll get to listen to the beautiful sound of Marisa pichuuning.
