And here we've reached one of the first videos I began to watch on your channel. Since then you've helped me improve my touhou gameplay. On that note, I still hate Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual.
I'm happy to announce (I guess?) that I've completed my first 1CC of a Touhou game (HSiFS), albiet on easy. I used Marisa-Winter, and thanks to the PIV gain from releases, had enough lives at the end that I feel confident enough to start practicing normal (I'll probably clear easy with the other characters first though to unlock them for extra). It took me longer than it should have simply because I've been busy, and will likely take me quite some time to beat normal for the same reason. But I had fun!
MoF was my first Touhou game back in 2009 or 2011, can't remember. Yet to this day I still wasn't able to 1CC or even clear Normal mode, and only barely be able to 1CC Easy. Because of Sanae earlier, and Kanako. Man, there's a reason Kanako's theme remains the leitmotif for the game over screen to this day. Mountain of Faith spellcard? 6/99+ on Easy. The damn Hunting spellcard? Maybe only once. Miracle of Otensui? Never lol. The very barebones resource system of this game did not help as well; I don't really like overly complicated resource systems, but essentially not having any is just as bad for a noob like me I am still trying to 1CC Normal when I feel adventurous enough though. Still at it for 10 years something
well god thing about normal is that normal virtue of wind god (VoWD) is actually easier than easy VoWD (and yes, i refer o all difficulty's version of the card as virtue of wind god)
Finally 1cc'd this game the other day! Got to Kanako with four lives, ended up winning with no lives and no power left due to me stupidly running headfirst into the talismans twice during "Mountain of Faith". Super stressful lmao Honestly Kanako's probably one of the hardest stage 6 bosses I've fought so far (though most of my runs ended because of Aya and her random bullshit, haha). Been working on Touhou 11 and Utsuho is way easier for me. Kanako's a really cool boss though; definitely one of my favorite characters in the series, with one of my favorite themes.
@@gypsysprite4824 Yeah, it's like half of her attacks are pretty easy but the other half are either gimmicky or require a lot of quick thinking/precision
It's opposite for me, I think kanako is a lot easier and in fact MoF is the first touhou game I cc'd Or maybe utsuho is hard because I always lost a lot of lives against orin lol
@@alfian4653 I think I'm just better at Utsuho's shot types. The only card of hers that even gives me trouble is her first one, while I struggle with some of the misdirection and minor movements on quite a few of Kanako's cards.
I love Kanako's red, blue, and green aura. That's probably one of the most creative auras I've ever seen, especially since it creates some kind of different aura when the three of them mix together. It fits well with the theme and the battle too.
Ngl I really like the final nonspell, the one where Kanako gets immunity every time she attacks with a short time of vulnerability between attacks. Kinda reminds me of Remilia's final nonspell, which does the same but with less cruel pattern
Now that I’m thinking about it, it’s kind of weird that Kanako/Suwako/Sanae didn’t get a faction for Hopeless Masquerade; pity, they were only in hisoutensoku iirc
That's because Kanako knew EXACTLY what was going on, and knew it was pointless to join in. As such, there was no Moriya representative during the Popularity Contests.
I think the Marisa's route is very nietzschean. She came to the mountain to smite a God. Her goals are very mysterious, but her means have her become somewhat a god herself.
...oh yeah thanks for reminding me of my failed NB runs of this game :superdying: In all seriousness, fuck Misayama and fourth non. One of the easiest final bosses for me yet they pull THIS. Also ouch, Marisa's larger hurtbox really hurt you on Rice Porridge.
*begins kanako's theme, ( kanako's sprite :party mode on )
One of my favorite final bosses in the series.
Also, Kanako's pretzel ring.
**croissant***

Ayy, congrats man! Good luck with normal mode!
I can survive this stage with 3 lives.. but it involves continuous bombing and finishing the mountain of faith on 0 power

miracle of otensui requires an advanced streaming technique.

IMO literally half of normal Knako's difficulty is just VoWD and the spellcard before it

After two months I finally beat Kanako and it was thanks to your guides. Thank you!!

0:58 Elite Fairy at 0:50 : Am I a joke to you
Tayebz Tayebz :3 but people consider Nue & Yuuka (LLS Extra) Midbosses although they didn’t have life bars either
Tayebz Tayebz :3 In LLS an enemy lifebar would appear when a midboss/ boss appears. Yuuka didn’t have an enemy lifebar as a midboss in the extra stage
Tayebz Tayebz :3 Nue didn’t have a lifebar in UFO as a midboss
Tayebz Tayebz :3 If it was a survival phase then you’d be rewarded if you didn’t miss or use a bomb.
Tayebz Tayebz :3 and yes I’m talking about stage 4 & 6
5:02 Wait.....this is before Clownpiece
Ooooh shit this is the original ( before the hell )
Now that I’m thinking about it, it’s kind of weird that Kanako/Suwako/Sanae didn’t get a faction for Hopeless Masquerade; pity, they were only in hisoutensoku iirc

It’s a Moriya Shrine conspiracy!
4:36 Yamato Torus is sooooo much easier
ikr. i have clownpiece second spell flashback from this (where you need to move fast between the stars before the lasers f***ed you up).
I think the Marisa's route is very nietzschean. She came to the mountain to smite a God. Her goals are very mysterious, but her means have her become somewhat a god herself.
...or maybe you're just looking too much into this, I dunno.
thhat's how it is. I just see references in completely unremarkable things. This is what came to my mind when I was playing
@@sakesaurus That's fair.
3:12 Gengetsu Rape Time
except they move 10x slower
Isn't it every single extra boss first nonspell?
...oh yeah thanks for reminding me of my failed NB runs of this game :superdying:
In all seriousness, fuck Misayama and fourth non. One of the easiest final bosses for me yet they pull THIS.
Also ouch, Marisa's larger hurtbox really hurt you on Rice Porridge.
Huh.
I didn't realize that Marisa goes to pester Reimu literally every day, but I guess it's canon :v
and what about remilia final nonspell? she also vulnerable only between shoots
1:17 try dancing above her? 😭😭
I just like music
tbh the only real difficult thing in her fight is her aimed attacks and invulnerability
WHY ZUN WHY EXPLAIN YOURSELF
3:50 it's not spell
