Seihou Banshiryuu (C74) Lunatic 1CC ~ HiranoA

Amusement Makers' Seihou Banshiryuu, C74 version. 1CC, Lunatic difficulty as HiranoA.
The reason I chose Hirano was because her unfocused attack does the most damage, but her focus shot is incredibly weak. I thought it would make the game a little more interesting so I decided on using HiranoA.
Banshiryuu C74 isn't as hard as you'd think, aside from hardly earning any lives throughout the game, no invincibility during bombs, and some of the impossible patterns. There definitely is room for a lot of error, but the C74 version focuses more on earning as many item points as you can in order to stock up on bombs that you can use.
Stage 1: No trouble here.
Stage 2: Absolutely hate this stage. I bombed a lot in order to take out the lasers faster since if you aren't fast enough, you're prone to getting trapped between them. I also absolutely suck at getting the resources from the bombs at the end. Hirano's focused shots will aim at the bombs and her unfocused shots spawn behind her (and usually hit the bomb) so it's hard to actually shoot at the boss itself. So I just shot the bombs enough and waited for him to flee.
Stage 3: The stage is a goldmine for item pick-ups. The boss is simple, but I screwed up on the blue loli attack and had to bomb. x_x
Stage 4: I started off streaming in the wrong direction twice so I bombed them both. XD Also, VIVIT lasers are scarier than Shou's lasers any day.
Stage 5: The beginning of this stage is hectic and is usually a hit or miss for me. In this case, it was a miss. I managed to get the first 1-up from the midboss on the top-spike, but since Hirano's focus shot sucks, I wasn't able to get the second 1-up for defeating the midboss because I was too late (the 1-up flew above the screen and disappeared). The boss itself is quite simple until the second last attack where he shoots curving lasers out of the arms of his ship. Hirano's weak focus shot doesn't help so I bombed it just to get her under the ship and do some damage with her non-focus shot.
Stage 6: Smooth sailing up until the boss. The first set of attacks that the final boss fires at you are just impossible. Luckily, I had saved up bombs. Starting at 17:35 - her dark form - she starts going ape-shit crazy on you. 18:30 is when the attacks become much more feasible. Then it's smooth sailing once more.
People say that the C67 version is a lot harder so I may get started on that very soon.

I can consistently get to Stage 3, occasionally without dying before then. After that, pretty much the game becomes a really difficult thing. Good job on beating this not-so-easy game on Lunatic!

You know your technology sucks when a shrine maiden can defeat you 😂

Jesus, the difficultt seems way harder than the one from touhou. Amazing gameplay.

It's a shame that this series just sorta stopped.

The barrages of the foes in stage 4 look like something for a Phantasm Stage of Touhou. >

Watching you weave around those bullets was mesmerising. Anyways, well done!

I wish there was time stamps for stages
