[@EverestBlizzard]

Yeah, that's nothing. If you notice, the counter begins at 99, which is unusual for something outside of a final spell. If you don't shoot Yukari to active her phases and leave her on the first phase, at 20(?) seconds she starts shooting all the bullets at once, but faster.

It's like touhou players's public secret lol. actually, many of Ran's spells are harder than Yukari's (Charming siege from all sides, fox-tanuki youkai laser, etc.)

[@BGDMusic]

i find a lot of yukari's spells easier than ran's counterparts

[@GarryDumblowski]

Looking back, I definitely feel like the Phantasm concept could have been executed better than it was here, it feels like the main thing that makes Yukari different from Ran is just the final spell. They're not as crazy or mind-bending as they could have been. Of course, even among fangames Phantasm stages are rare, so there aren't many opportunities to see quite how far the concept could be taken.

I can't really speak for PC-98 Touhou (Though what I've played of Touhou 1 is insane and Touhou 2 is cheap AF) but Touhou 11 has some absolute hell on lunatic, 12 has the stage 4 timeout which I can barely scrape by on in normal, not to mention Byakuren and a damn tough extra stage. 14 has some really tough stuff too. If you want to really hate yourself though, just look for lunatic LoLK stuff, or Black Label Lunatic clears on that game.

Teeth-grindingly difficult. "Nope, I'm not doing this" Switch to PCB. Iirc I reached maybe last stage, but had to continue because my sanity wouldn't handle leaving the completion here. Bad ending. Who would've thought (fuck you, ZUN). And here I see "oh oopsie-doopsie, this perfect phantasm completion was on accident, oh well". Rage-quit I'm tempted. KZbin recommendations are kicking in again.
