Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism - Extra Stage (New Commentary Version)

[@silvernightray7701]

Little did we know, she was gonna be this channel's lovely mascot.

[@Iris_Descent]

"Cause this world needs more Koishi." YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF Anyway, I honestly find Hecatia much harder than Koishi. Sure, Hecatia has some free attacks, but goddamn, most of her fight is so pixel-perfect I don't know where to begin... And I was using Reisen with her broken bomb, mind you! Although SA's Extra stage portion can go fuck itself, and Sanae is more of a pain than Doremy by a longshot.

[@superautogamingfan]

All of LoLK was the hardest in the world imo,,, it’s called Legacy of LUNATIC kingdom because its practically already lunatic mode on normal mode

[@AJAredstone]

So it begins, the first time the 4th wall breaking curse appears in your videos.

No, Koishi doesn't have the power to. Yet.

@@ITAndroMedian Wanna know the craziest part? I swear to god that was in the original SA video, that wasn't something I added for the sake of this. When I was going through the annotations I was _beyond_ confused as to why, or how it was there... but at 23:36 there is most definitely a tiny little annotation going {yay} and I had no idea how or why it was there (to make matters more confusing, I _never_ have used brackets for an annotation) i.imgur.com/G5x6Kzf.png

Man, these spell cards are actually pretty intimidating when the game's not running at like 20fps. ...still wanna share that replay sometime.

[@steveluvscows2490]

No one in this comment section still has acknowledged the Single Green Bullet at 2:29. In fact, it seems one of the bullets in the initial bullet wave from her Spell Card (Esoterica "Nine Syllable Stabs") _WILL ALWAYS BE GREEN._

I just 1cc'ed SA, and came to this video to learn how to deal with Koishi. And if there's one thing I learned, it's that I should move on to another Touhou game and come back later.

Ah... back when things were just heating up with this channel. I really like Koishi's danmaku, it's really clever the things she references.

[@kotofren]

I FINNALY BEAT HER TODAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!

[@vince5456]

>what would Nuclear Marisa even do Well, according to LostWord, apparently make the Lunar Capital abandoned while beating the Watatsuki Sisters in the process.

[@winterdragon2004]

Ah yes. The original meeting between Omega and Koishi. Though they barely even know of each others existence now, this would mark the beginning of a rivalry that would span years, continuing to this very day. Fitting that this game would introduce the two most influential characters (for better or for worse) on Omega's channel together. I was half hoping Present day Koishi would pull some Suzumi bullshit and mess with a woefully unprepared Omega and Bee, but seeing these are mainly for archival purposes I understand why she didn't appear.

[@Iris_Descent]

Oh ok so I'm not the only one who thought she'd sneak in too

22:19 Theme of Kanako returning home.

[@Codeoftherpg]

It's amazing how much easier you make this look by knowing the right strategies for each of her cards. At a glance, they're intimidating, but your practice and knowledge of just how to lead her shots makes such a difference. Also you possess some serious guts during her last card as you were down to your last life yet plenty of bombs to safely see your way through any sticky situations and you chose not to use them. Definitely added to the suspense that your run could end at any second then!

[@kizunechao279]

The one where we first meet you know who.

[@Reboundary]

2:23 She's only continuing a trend set by MoF.

[@kimcringson7106]

i enjoy playing this extra stage, but the spell card names can't be more unsettling

[@BirdBrainedBird]

I noticed how you were dancing to last remote How talented

[@IllusionistsBane]

If a human ever encounters Koishi and she stares at your eyes, is it possible for her to make you go so crazy you start seeing the world in a different artstyle (akin to that Billy episode about the eyes where he goes "STAY AWAY FROM MY EYES!!!!1!!")?

[@bannythebanhammerbunny]

[@kienphucnguyen2001]

8:53 her first sc was already hell for the the first time I encountered. Then somehow , I figured it out , by using reimu A , with yukari’s gaps , captured it somehow.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

22:00 Unless you have a spare fishing rod for Koishi, that is.

[@roberthasudungan1546]

and don't forget that Koishi's hat is her friend, it helps her relax

[@gypsysprite4824]

*in parallel to the question i asked in TLC's stage 2* how long did it take you to realize Polygraph was supposed to be a survival card since it doesn't look like you realized that in your comment about the healthbar also: 23:35: is that the first recorded instance of Koishi invading your computer or is that koishi appearing there despite the annotations supposed to be the same

[@MegamanOmega184]

Oh I knew it was a spell card and not a time out. Like I said, "Health bar be damned, this is one of many you're just gonna have to time out". Cause you pretty much can't stay under her to deal enough damage with Marisa/Alice. You saw, I captured the spell card, but only on the last second, I was still there for the entire duration of the spell.

[@gypsysprite4824]

@@MegamanOmega184 uhhh Youkai Polygraph is supposed to be a survival card kinda like how Suwako got two of them...then again i can't type for shit so i realize the mistake i made *lemme quicly edit that*

[@Karifean]

@@MegamanOmega184 Yeah Youkai Polygraph is a timeout card. Try not shooting sometime, you'll still capture it.

[@MegamanOmega184]

​@@gypsysprite4824 Huh, you're right. In that case I think this is the first and only timeout spell where the boss can still be "damaged" during it. Any other time the bosses leave the field or become intangible. But here she still has a hurt box (you can see your bullets colliding with her) plus you can still hear the sound effect like you're dealing damage as well.

[@gypsysprite4824]

@@MegamanOmega184 the barrier in Polygraph looks like it's very similar to the one brought up during bomb immunity, which could be what ZUN used for the survival card effect?

[@danielokit1619]

I feel like you were dancing to Hartmanns Youkai Girl while fight Koishi at some points...

[@orionprism4339]

Can you see Koishi now? Can you see her near Amano-Iwato? Or a Killing Stone? Or is all you see just rocks?

[@lunatic0verlord10]

8:02 Is Marisa the canon heroine of Mountain of Faith, or do all games assume that the character your playing as solved all the Incidents she got involved with?

[@spectrasoulfaire215]

I always assumed the incident resolvers were working together whenever there were multiple characters.

[@incerabbit]

MarisaA not getting to full power isnt necessarily a disadvantage because 7 and 8 power deals insane amounts of damage. Koishi’s difficulty also lowers a lot more than other extras once you know how stuff works because attacks are mostly gimmick attacks that are easy to deal with

[@jokere9880]

how did Koishi become a... meme? on this channel?)

[@MegamanOmega184]

All the fourth wall breaking she did when I played script after script featuring her. Considering various thinks like crashing the game and directly addressing the player happened everytime. Koishi Hell, Koishi Hell 2, Koishi Heck, Koishi Tale, etc. You get the idea

[@errorperson13]

i bet you were looking forward to see her again lol

[@velvet7304]

Sanae’s last spellcard actually has a safespot where her raised hand is, for future reference.

[@CarmsCelestia]

tbh, I think the safespot is harder to get than just doing it normally. I always manage to get her to shoot her non-aiming shots inside that safespot.

[@emishimaru-sama6449]

And even so, you also have to dodge the other pellets, so It's basically worse than Koishi's spell where you are also trapped.... unless you know how to dodge on such small safespot.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

20:01 Just another one of her many lies.

[@AbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyandzI]

Kanako was sad lol

[@Interesting_Failure]

If it's any consolation, MarisaA gets more power from P items and other characters still aren't at full power on reaching the midboss, generally.

[@Iris_Descent]

Uh, no. Everyone else can get to 4 power before Sanae, MarisaA can't get to 8.

[@Interesting_Failure]

Bah, not when I'm playing them >_>

[@Ztarman3]

Hold on, are these annotations just the old annotations from way back then?

[@kizunechao279]

Yeah, pretty much.

[@MegamanOmega184]

Yup, before KZbin killed the annotations they gave a small window of warning saying they'd be getting removed in a little less than a month. I took that time to figure out how, and extract the annotations into xml files so I'd be able to actually read and copy them (KZbin had gotten rid of the annotation editor much longer ago). Since then I've been remaking the annotations like I do for my modern videos, copying them over into the old videos and reuploading them. All 370 friggin' videos...
