Touhou 11 - Subterranean Animism - Perfect Stage 6 Lunatic

Replay: replays.gensokyo.org/download....
HAHAHAHA YESSSS!!
Well, here it is, a run I've wanted for quite some time now.
Utsuho is by far the most atmospheric final boss to ever grace this series. Everything about the battle fits really well together: the music, the annoyingly bright radioactive bullets, the gigantic sun bullet danmaku, and the... whatever that is in the background, the nuclear symbol with the cat on it. To put it simply, it's intense.
The stage portion is pretty straight forward (in this run, things got a little too close for comfort against those crows that crap all the large white bullets), and the same goes for the midboss encounter with Orin.
In my opinion, most of Utsuho's difficulty comes early on (actually, I don't think anyone would disagree with this). Her first card is tough, but I've noticed that when I play more defensively on it (as in, not try to capture it ASAP), I tend to fair far better against it. Her second noncard always seems to backstab me when I least expect it, but small movements and a little luck with good openings--as this run demonstrates--allows ReimuA to take it out within 1 iteration. Her second spell card is random and annoying, so I honestly don't know what to say about it :P
Aside from that, the rest of the run came down to nerves and whether or not the last spell would shit in my face. Luckily, everything went according to plan. Funny thing is, the last few runs immediately before this one had me failing the last spell left and right; I'm not talking about dying once or twice, I mean dying all the time without me understanding why.
That spell douches around way too much.

Oh utusho, I love her and hate her at the same time. All of her spellcards are so simple and yet so hard! Only her final spell has an actually complex pattern, the rest are just a demonstration of how much raw power she has. And yet the battle is beautiful in its own way.

3:20 is the part that always ends killing me (deathbomb or otherwise). I can never keep track of the blue bullets. I will say that her final card is probably one of my favorites of any stage 6 boss, or even the games in general. Her whole boss fight is surprisingly unique

[@StarEevee70]

While the gaps are bigger than many other spell cards, it's the fact that you're constantly getting sucked into the middle that makes it difficult. It's like you're simultaneously dodging in all directions: moving backwards to bullets you can't even see, while making sure the dots don't hit you. And then it just starts going faster and faster, so you have to back up even more. Not to mention this card is famous for its many many clipdeaths, since the red bullets have fairly large hitboxes.

[@OmegaTaishu]

And yeah... Those nuclear symbols are so damn epic...!

[@Returacan]

google "moriyashrine" ...all games in english when possible

[@vsear5911]

This doesn't look all that different from Normal, actually.

[@bjw563]

Agreed, and I doubt anyone would argue against that. Getting a good run of EoSD Stage 6 relies on a lot of luck since Eternal Meek, Vampire Illusion and Scarlet Gensokyo can all randomly decide to completely screw you over, and when they don't they're still not particularly easy. Even Remi's first spell card can be annoying, and then there's of course Scarlet Meister. The entire thing is hell.

[@enigmere]

i cant believe what Ive seen its just to awesome, OMG

[@MindlessInvalid]

The larger the bullet, the less of that bullet is actually part of the hitbox. Like the notorious bubble bullets that koakuma throws in EoSD stage 4, for example. The colored part of those is basically safe. but the clear part is not.

At 1:41 the enemy's danmaku pattern resembles Yukari's "Border of Wave and Particle" from Shoot the Bullet, which Satori uses if you are playing Reimu A.

[@fireonloser1]

using Yukari as your power, you can double tap the left/right direction when at the edge of the left or right of the screen to teleport to the other side

[@TheMisterTJK]

@wildliongirl They're not available for sale outside of Japan, however you can download them many places. This Touhou is named Subterranean Animism. Just use google. There is also an English patch, get that too if you want to know what everything is saying and what the spellcard names are XD

[@bjw563]

From my KZbin page: Q: What do you use to record? A: FRAPS. To achieve HD, I change the video from 640x480 to 960x720, and then I add black bars, 160 pixels in width, to both the left and right sides of the video. I basically use FRAPS to record in 640x480, and then I use a program called MeGUI Modern Media Encoder to do the resolution trick. I use Camtasia for any cropping/editing.

[@tsuntsun13]

@leopold621 ReimuA's special ability is teleport from one side of the wall to the other. Each type has their special abilities.

[@gurenta]

the best way to explain t is that the actual hit box of the bullets are a smidgen few pixels smaller than the actual border of the bullets this is most prominent in "bubble" bullets like Remilia's in touhou 6

@Shrouded Bowkeys personally that's all opinion. I have a tough time focusing on three things at once, even if they are slow. so the slow moving bullets coming in both directions confuses me and i die quickly. so for me, it's one of the hardest bosses because her attacks aren't what I'm used to

[@PainandLolcats]

I think it said in the selection screen: Go to the edge of the screen, stop shooting, then double-press the movement key closest to the edge. e.g. if I wanted to swap from left to right, I'd hit the left wall, stop shooting and double-press Left arrow.

[@Ramash440]

I guess Utsuho is the living proof that one does not simply give a crow a giant hand-cannon.

[@bjw563]

The difficulty of clearing extra is equivalent, in my opinion, to clearing normal. That's why extra unlocks after 1ccing normal (or any higher difficulty).

[@midend]

that yukari screen-jump trick is seriously handy

[@bjw563]

@Kilin08 Yeah, ReimuA is pretty much the only shottype in this game: great damage, a long lasting bomb, and gapping to boot. Her only problem is a lack of spread, but that's completely outweighed by everything else.
