Because it would just be plain impossible if they didn't.

[@xx_admiralhipper420_xx9]

Touhoulicious yeh

[@sfc0450]

LucentTear On the contrary, Touhou has also done this at least once. In Imperishable Night, the last phase of Eirin's "Hourai Elixir" spellcard intentionally slows the game down. I know it happens in Easy Mode, but I don't remember if the higher difficulties do it too.

This game...for all the bullet hell it puts you through. Has some of the most SPECTACULAR pixel artwork if you're spectating. I forgot there was a tiny ship in there watching the deadly bullets bring sickening, yet awe-inspiring digital art to life.

You can almost count the amount of pixels that aren't bullets.

There is another boss after if Im correct. It's called the ''True Last Boss'', most Cave shmup games have this 'secret' boss. The music at that boss is amazing...

[@bpopson1]

I FEEL WEAK. SO WEAK.

[@Raving_Rando]

"MultiSackgirl" did not imply it is "impossible," just that it is hard. I have to agree. I think this game (and this boss especially) looks like a bloody nightmare. I salute any player that can actually beat this boss without a continue.

[@Naterkix]

And here I thought I knew what they meant when they said "bullet-hell shooter"...

Wow good work! Ive been playing for years and I cant beat this boss without continuing a few times.

[@Quiet_Ketsuki]

sheesh, anyone who can get any real form of progress in a bullet hell, especially one of this magnitude deserves some recognition for not ripping their skin off in frustration, especially for a near perfect run (no lives lost till the final round?)

[@laurencyLRC]

[@spyrocoolnessspyronlink]

Lord Sithis sure 😳

[@BareKnuckleRoo]

Larsa when she's off of the dragon (as seen in the video) is her Ultra TLB form. There's an alternate TLB version in Black Label's God Mode called Spiritual Larsa, but she's significantly easier.

Ohh its the younger Larsa with a sadder ost.

[@Sasupoika2]

@jimmykudo1 You probably saw video of God Mode, which is in Black Label-version of the game. God-Mode is much easier than ultra. Yes, in God Mode the requirement is no-miss ( no deaths ), but on ultra it is simply 1cc'ing everything before Larsa.

[@lordkardok666]

Dodge rain? Please. This man can probably dodge air molecules.

[@cryionic]

It is well known that Ultra Mode is harder than God Mode. Quote from some website: "God mode has a similar bullet density to Ultra in 1.5, however bullets experience much more slowdown. This, combined with the newly upgraded firepower and the new bullet patterns, makes God mode generally accepted to be a more manageable version of Ultra"

I've never understood the appeal of these games. It's impressive to see people play them, but at the same time it looks like the video game equivalent of navigating a Tokyo subway at rush hour.

[@qwertytrewq583]

+Kyotra Some people love a challenge, even if it's something as insane as this.. I once managed to get 1,548,427,833 on a similar game called Akai Katana which put me at #9 on the leaderboard. It was a huge challenge for me and took months of frustration and practice but I got there.. This game is MUCH harder but hey, I've always loved the challenge factor in games like these

[@WVVVVVVVVVVVWWWWWWWW]

+Kyotra i love these kinda games and im not even japanese

[@McNibbler]

I like bullet hells because I just love difficult games

[@TheOriginalKezz]

I agree. With this, the patterns are a bit more predictable and even with all those bullets on screen there is usually a rather easy path to follow unlike Touhou where the attack patterns feel a bit more random.

[@MrDinobo]

they really wanted to make the most difficult game in history

[@Karasamune]

If you can dodge a bullet, you can dodge a ball

[@kylestubbs8867]

And people say Realm of the Mad God is hard.

[@surreptitiouswritings]

Rotmg can definitely be very hard. Your comment is many years old, but in the time since they've added some gnarly bosses and events.

[@ThatNerdAlbert]

did not expect to see rotmg mentioned

[@ultrasonic22]

If you can beat this game on that mode without any credits you are successfully one of the best players in the universe.

[@joshuazhao]

@GearPhoenixRazar49 the 1 form is because the play died during the fight, the second form only shows when the player wins the first form without dieing.

[@makananenak]

It looked almost impossible to beat the boss until i watch this video

[@zethca]

This is an arcade game. There is a port of it for the 360. As far as I know none of the newer Cave games are playable in emulation.

[@yellowev0v]

i wonder where the bullets hit when they miss?

[@kot32_fake]

By most games from CAVE, they get deleted off-screen

[@AnataMoonstar]

Ah yes games where you have to dodge through the smallest gaps to survive

[@AnataMoonstar]

All in trying to say is where tf is the main characters hitbox during this

[@BiFoxxo]

The song is the same as the boss theme for levels 1-4, but the official name is "Beast's Pulse"

[@gyppygirl2021]

I somehow find it more appropriate than the new song they replaced it with in Black Label...

[@WellingtonSinceridades]

This...is.... IMPOSSIBLE!

[@kot32_fake]

Nahhhh... This is not the worst of CAVE's danmaku tlb things. The original mushihimesama's tlb literally forces you to Micrododge worse than anything else

[@lancecurry7538]

You think this is bad? Play Dodonpachi Sai-Daioujou. Inbachi is far more horrifying in her terms of how _fast_ she fires her bullets.

[@ElProf]

Is your hitbox 1 by 1 pixel in this game or what? I'm seeing all sorts of shit fly all over him. I've never played the game so someone please enlighten me.

[@sneezlebottom137]

It's not unusual for bullet hell games to have a hitbox much smaller than the actual sprite. I never played the game either, but I'd guess the hitbox is the orange part of the sprite (the character?).

[@trafalgarla]

Olivier Schultheiss Yeah it's the little orange dot, and actually a lot of bullet hells make a bright dot to show the characters hitbox.

[@warriordamo5619]

It has to be small if it wasn't this would be near impossible (which it already is) and if there was larger hitboxes the creators would have had to severely reduce the amount of Projectiles

[@rorbot_SMF]

Typically in Cave shmups you can tell where your hitbox is by looking for a glowing kind of object in the middle of your ship, character, Some bullet hell games even encourage grazing the bullets to increase your score! These games at this high of a level of play (like in this video) would be impossible if the hitbox were the whole ship.

[@joshuazhao]

@Sasupoika2 gotta try the game when i finally have an xbox. and why didn't CAVE port this game to ipod touch, they did to espagaluda and dodonpachi. itouch only got a crappy BUG PANIC for mushihimesama

[@EpicRaichi]

THIS... IS... SPARTA!

[@lordbiffington]

I always liked the scoring systems of these games. Like how could you tell the story over and over of how you earned 49 Gilliondy points?

[@Stabby666]

Fun fact, this game was originally out on the Atari 2600, where it looked exactly the same.

[@KyazuTheInsane]

It's not as clear cut as you're making it sound. Stage 5 Ultra is essentially impossible on the iPad: point blanking the torches is just not a doable task when you essentially have to stay in place for a prolonged period of time and manually poke the corner of the screen every time you want to activate or deactivate your shot. Patterns with odd arced/diagonal gaps (notably taisabachi's first pattern in DFK) are much easier to deal with, but streaming and micrododging segments are harder.

[@ashtonleach9866]

So to fight the TLB (after the main final boss), wait, is there one?

[@Searchmeister]

All hail the new king or queen!

[@k3remet398]

they told me that len'en was touhou but brutal i assume this game is len'en 's AB-EX difficulty but brutal

[@wernymichael]

Amazing skill :)

[@HylianLycan]

I have the music that plays during this boss on my phone, and every time it comes on it scares me. lol.

[@Mornepin]

OH HO HO HO HO

[@dukemagus]

well... it's written ultra mode on the screen

[@Dreigonix]

...I don't remember there being a second phase. And what happened to Spiritual Larsa?

[@rendenson1549]

what? spiritual larsa? heard of it but..........sounds scary ._.

[@pokedart9001]

Spiritua Larsa only appears if you're playing the Black Label version of Mushihimesama Futari, and get through God mode without dying once. I'm not sure how you get the second phase of the fight shown here, though. EDIT: I just watched a play through of God Mode without Spiritua Larsa, and the second phase didn't appear. I guess it's only in the regular version of Mushihimesama Futari.

[@bluebirdsigma]

pokedart9001 In the original version of Futari you get to the second phase of Larsa by not continuing in Ultra Mode. In Black Label, the second phase is replaced by Spiritual Larsa and you get there by not losing EVER in God Mode.

[@pokedart9001]

Ah. Well now I know.

[@ikagura]

i love the final form's music

[@julimarification]

Ikr. That soundtrack is amazing

[@ikagura]

@@julimarification I have a preference for the first one but this is still great. Shmup ost are often overlooked.

[@otorimasu]

i was like omg wtf i can only survive for a second when see the ultra mode o-o

[@toottoot3410]

O H O H O H A H O H O

[@gyppygirl2021]

...that ending CG always makes me giggle. :x

[@maximusmack]

Although I think spiritual larsa is harder due to health bar not dropping as fast as ultra mode, I can respect this boss being harder because of the 2 health bars given. At least it's not the BS the final boss of Espgaluda had and that was if you bomb the final form of the boss it regenerated its health back equal to the output of the bomb you charged.

[@joshuazhao]

@Sasupoika2 i think that is the requirement to face the boss, i haven't played the game since i dont have an xbox, but from what i saw in the video from terryfuckwit, queen larsa has a hidden form.

[@Superphilipp]

Jesus! Futari WL Ultra really looks a lot harder than BL God. The speed alone!

[@Randomizer903]

do you know where i can find the second piece of music? 3:20 i can find the piece for the first phase rather easily, but i can't find the other.

[@anangunggulbimantara742]

5:34 aw, shit. and what do you mean 1 credit? I count at least 2 times it died

[@migfire]

I bought this game from playasia. I used to watch this exact replay from the leaderboards in hopes of learning how to beat ultra mode, but the gameplay is just impossible to copy. Game was just too difficult for me to beat.

[@sakesaurus]

U start from novice original and work your way up. Games like this require you to build skill like a muscle

[@Nekumata]

You know what this game needs? NO BOMBS.

[@Sasupoika2]

@jimmykudo1 Incorrect. The requirement is 1cc. No continues.

[@PsychedelicLee]

This is some Asian level shit right here =P

[@Bmetalful]

It's just memorization and some luck. And probably about 1,000 hours playtime in this one game. You can master anything, just depends how much time you want to put in. This is very impressive though.

[@sugarkane1571]

I'm asian and I'm nowhere close...

[@Bmetalful]

***** Ya and about 1000+ hours of play time. I'd say it's more repetition than anything. Your brain just knows what to do after attempting the same thing hundreds of times. Not to take credit away from speedrunners and pros, but when you play against an AI opponent a hundred times then you better be able to perfect it.

[@Bmetalful]

***** IMO it's a waste of time to master one game to this level. He/She could have spent hundreds of hours enjoying other games or doing other things. Putting that amount of time into such a sadistical game doesnt make sense to me. You know it wasn't fun to learn how to be this good, those hundreds of hours probably felt like a stressful job rather than a fun experience. But everyone has their own feelings about what is valuable to them.

[@CarmsCelestia]

Also the freaking sense of satisfaction you get when beating something that hard. Look at that guy. NOONE will say he sucks at shmups. And I aspire to beat this level aswell. May take me another 10 years+ (I'm currently still trying to get good at Touhou), but I won't give up either xD

[@SRWOtaku]

I'm gonna honest. The 2nd phase of Ultra Mode looks more challenging that God Mode

[@probablycallum8371]

Well ultra mode is ridiculously harder than god mode anyway

[@gyppygirl2021]

From my understanding, Ultra Mode is generally considered to be significantly more difficult than God Mode, even though they're the same difficulty setting by equivalency. Kind of ironic, really...

[@touhouguyII]

That last attack 0_0

[@Paattel]

This is possible only if you have a good eye hand coordination and because the attacks go pretty slow

[@touhouguyII]

Wow, that close to failure.

[@NervFaktor00]

There's a mame version that can emulate it. mame = multiple arcade machine emulator, you will have to search for it and the rom yourself, but google should be able to help you there.

[@Stoogie]

Toxik helgor has done all shmups hardest difficult without getting hit once, including dodonpachi dai fukkatsu. on xbox

"You are no match for my bullets" HOHOHOHOO

[@lonely90ification]

the first time i play this game at ultra mode,i was like,fuck fuck fuck,bulletstorm incoming!

[@ben11853]

umm guys ive noticed tht cometimes tht the bullets would slow down making it dodging them easier is it a hack or an ability that you have as the main character and it has a cooldown time

[@Irrenhaus3]

Neither, it's hardcoded into the game to simulate the behaviour of the arcade machines. It was programmed specifically so gameplay would slow down during these parts; if it didn't, they would be practically impossible.

[@ben11853]

ohhh ok that makes sense thanks for the info. :)

[@NervFaktor00]

I love Cave so much.

[@dauh10]

you sir are one amazing dodger

[@ThePinkSnowflake178]

wait is ultra mode harder or is god mode harder

[@KesorodaBlk]

God is hardest of them all!

[@ThePinkSnowflake178]

okay thanks i cant see the difference because both for the final boss its hard to find the difference cause OMG LOOK AT ALL THOSE BULLETS

[@OyVeey]

ultra mode has less slowdown and the TLB pattern is much more difficult. God mode TLB is harder to reach, but can be trivialized rather easily.

[@-Rahad]

Ultra mode is harder

[@johnduong5676]

[@onseki1774]

Wow, this is a real danmaku.

[@Vulcanfaux]

Is it just me or was there one more phase of this fight.

[@touhouguyII]

5:51, what is happening to the bullets? How are they behaving?

[@lancecurry7538]

Basically, there are two waves. One wave rotating clockwise, and another counterclockwise so that they overlap. And there are small little bullets you can't see raining down as well beneath the overlapping waves.
