@@Optiplexations I plugged through it despite never playing anything harder.

WBaWC is too high. If you learn the mechanics of the game it becomes one of the easiest 1CCs in the series, ESPECIALLY if you use Otter shottypes which are overpowered (4 bombs per lives which are also empowered). There is a reason why it's the only Touhou game I managed to 1CC on Lunatic even though I don't have the dodging skills to handle its patterns.

I'd say 5. Highly responsive to Prayers 4. Lotus Land Story 3. Story of Eastern Wonderland 2. Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream 1. Mystic Square However PODD can vary widely depending on your shot type and become the hardest because of that
Thank you for this. I actually wanted to check such a ranking, cause I started Touhou around the same time you did your first video and was doing 1CC, as Reimu A, of every game from 6 onwards. I just finished Touhou 15 (on pointdevice. I am not doing Legacy until I get more practice and patience, or won't be doing it at all, cause I am still mentally stable) and wanted to see how the games are after the hardest. The only extras I have finished are of Touhou 6,7 and 8. I stopped doing them after that. Really nice video with some great opinions with examples on screen. Hope you have fun with whatever you decide to do next.
To be honest, this is a list I think i 100% agree with. Well.. Actually, no. There's one thing, IN. I've actually found IN easier than even MoF. But maybe that's just the patterns :`) But other than that, (as expected) another banger video1!!!
I think you've given each game a pretty fair ranking, although personally EoSD is hella hard for me, it'd probably be at like 4 or 5 on my list. I'd be curious to see a ranking of each game in terms of quality/preference i.e. top touhou games
Thanks for making this video! I always enjoy your Touhou videos, and it's always interesting to see someone else's thoughts on Touhou difficulty comparisons. Feel free to tackle extra/spinoffs/fangames/etc at your own pace, no need to rush. Personally, if I made a list like this, I'd probably put Mountain of Faith one tier higher, Hidden Star one tier higher, Subterranean Animism one tier lower, and Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom two tiers lower. (Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom is one of only 4 mainline games I have a lunatic 1cc in currently, thanks to Reisen's bomb. And yes, that would leave UFO two full tiers above everything else. UFO makes me angry to play.) But that's just my opinion.
Heya sleepless nights, I’ve been watching your content for a while now on a guest account (mainly Touhou) and I feel like you should try out this game called Bullet Hell Monday (it had 3 games so far) and I think you would enjoy it like Touhou. Btw you make great vids keep it up 👍
nice vid, I think your rankings mostly hold up for Lunatic as well. There's a lot of minutia you could pick at (MoF and DDC MarisaB, LoLK bomb spamming as Sanae) but does anyone feel like they've properly cleared the games when they do these things? Would highly recommend playing 4 and 5 from the PC98 era too. I was surprised how fun and polished they were, better than some modern touhou games.

19:42 Nah the last boss of that game is harder than clownpiece. People just talk about clown piece more because they usally give up by that point, and can barely get to stage 6. 19:55. Are you sure you had easier time with that boss than clown piece. I have least gotten through CP only dying about 3 or 4 times and using all my bombs each, while that boss I get obliterated. I've even watch a 1cc player struggle more with the final boss than CP.
If you added touhou 9 and 19 they could probably go in F tier because they are super easy to 1CC even on lunatic. Aya and Medicine on 9 destroy the AI by just breathing,in 19 Reimu wins the moment she can use her LVL2,Chiyari doesn't automatically win but she completely trivializes the game too.
"Chiyuri doesn't automatically win" well yeah, Chiyuri is the worst character in PoDD PvE (she's mid tier in the theoretical PvP where the opponent doesn't magically dodge every pellet she throws) Anyway, Aya and Medicine wish they could break the AI as easily as Chiyari. You can actually die as Aya and Medicine if you're not careful, because the AI can still dodge the ricocheting bullets or through poison, it's just terrible at doing that. Chiyari wisps are so hilariously overpowered that a human properly using them is pretty much undefeatable and I think it literally breaks the AI where if it gets hit multiple times in quick succession (which is likely to happen), it doesn't bother dodging any further ones.
I'm sure we can all agree that the printed works are the hardest game in the series. I've yet to see anyone 1CC CoLA, Rinosuke's survival attacks are too hard.
surprised you put 17 as high as it is, out of the games you used here, id honestly say it's the easiest. You said the pattern difficulty is fairly high but on normal I'm not sure I'd agree, especially considering how powerful otter and wolf shots are.
I 1cced LoLK first try, dunno what everyone's problem is. Granted I had to retry Clownpiece 200+ times, but still... On serious note, I started with HSiFS, and once you knew the timing of using releases, it was essentially free lives, especially the summer one which is highly spammable. Think it could be lower as well as WBaWC, whose otter spirits are busted.
Pretty good rankings. For me I love ufo but despised lolk. I had a lot of fun with the ufos and dodging in it compared to lolk micrododge and stream everything for more resources.
PCB patterns are hard to dodge, the game expects you to use your bombs generously, atleast that was my experience with it. And yeah, DDC is easy (except for stage 4).
Huh; I've not beaten PCB and I've beaten quite a few other games. I'd rank PCB mid-tier personally. Also I've beaten DDC but not UM... I'd rank Um far higher and DDC lower imo. I do feel like the bottom ones and top two are generally quite agreed on [IN/TD/Mof are easy; UFO/LolK are hard]. Also; on Lunatic UFO is generally considered about equal to LoLK. Also for UM; UM is generally considered mid-tier with cards; and Top 4 at least without them. [Especially on Lunatic. Stage 3-5 on Lunatic are crazy. Chimata isn't that bad but Stage 3, 4 and 5...]
I personally would rate PCB harder than IN and EoSD, its the last game i 1cc first out of the three Yuyuko is so much harder compared to Remilia, Eirin and Kaguya imo
It all comes down to how easy it is to collect P items. SA isn't nearly as generous as MoF in that regard. Add to that the fact that in MoF you cap your damage at 4.00/5.00 power, meaning you have a free bomb at full power.
@@cornocornocorno I'm playing SA right now and it is hard. As someone claimed about safe spots in SA they haven't seen to appear on the first 2 levels at least. Projectiles spon from a boss itself rather than in front of the boss.
I'm not sure how this transfers to Normal Mode, but top level players (score runners, LNN players) actually find DDC to be one of the hardest games, up there with the infamous ones like LoLK and UFO. It's heavily offset by the generous resource system, but the patterns are *hard.* At least on Lunatic, patterns like Kagerou's midspell, Double Score, all of Seija and a good part of Shinmy are all terrifying. Overall, the raw danmakfu is really difficult. Of course, this changes a lot if you know how to use the shot types and resource system. Most of the shots have a lot of obscure optimizations like ReimuA's gohei duping, SakuyaA's focus spamming and MarisaB's crazy power item generation. But none of these are particularly easy to learn, and if you ignore them then the game is twice as hard.
@@-butterfly-594 the video said this was from the perspective of a normal 1cc, allowing all uses of resources, cheese, and shot-types. Sure, the danmaku gets really bullshit at times, but because of the obscene amount of resources you get you can pretty much just bomb your way through everything after a certain point. Characters like Marisa B and Sakuya A also scale fairly well into the late game. I’m just speaking from personal experience, but if you just bomb smartly enough you should be fine for a normal 1cc.
Honestly yeah, on normal using the good shot type for each character (RA, MB, SA) it's pretty easy to finish with no continues. The other shot types are a fair bit harder simply due to lacking the benefits of their alternative shots (RB's loses focused homing in exchange for barely better damage [assuming you don't do the funny shift-spamming] and a weaker bomb, MA's doesn't have the life piece generating bomb and has noticeably reduced damage at any amount of distance in exchange for honestly strong shotgunning, and SB loses out on basically everything that makes Sakuya A good [Homing explosive focus shot with higher dps and faster clear times not counting the whole speedkilling thing where you make the knives detonate immediately] + the shield bomb which effectively gives you 2 PoC's or refunds you part of it back, although I guess it's to be expected that the shot made specifically for scoring is worse for 1CCing). Still, while it's definitely quite a bit harder with the worse shot types, the game does give you quite a lot of resources to throw around.

GFW is an honorary mainline game. it's really worth playing and challenging at that. the good thing is that its really short.
I only had 1cc normal on Touhou 8, 18, 19 and Len'en 3
Now I'm trying to do it at Touhou 7, but I've not succeed yet
It's the guy!
You should try every game in hard or lunatic difficulty since some pathern is different from normal one
I 1cced LoLK first try, dunno what everyone's problem is. Granted I had to retry Clownpiece 200+ times, but still...
On serious note, I started with HSiFS, and once you knew the timing of using releases, it was essentially free lives, especially the summer one which is highly spammable. Think it could be lower as well as WBaWC, whose otter spirits are busted.

just play whats fun to you at that moment, the spin offs shoot the bullet, double spoier, etc are extremely difficult
sleepless going to try out the fighting games(theyre also spinoffs):
I think UM should be higher when you don't use the main gimmick of the game.
The bullets can get denser especially in stage 4.
When do you get 1cc Lunatic in the game?

Let him do the extra stages first

This ranking is incomplete.
WBaWC is too high and so is DDC is too high also WBaWC is the only game I have beaten the Extra stage on.
DDC is easy as shit what are you talking about
I'm not sure how this transfers to Normal Mode, but top level players (score runners, LNN players) actually find DDC to be one of the hardest games, up there with the infamous ones like LoLK and UFO.
It's heavily offset by the generous resource system, but the patterns are *hard.* At least on Lunatic, patterns like Kagerou's midspell, Double Score, all of Seija and a good part of Shinmy are all terrifying. Overall, the raw danmakfu is really difficult.

But none of these are particularly easy to learn, and if you ignore them then the game is twice as hard.
@@-butterfly-594 the video said this was from the perspective of a normal 1cc, allowing all uses of resources, cheese, and shot-types. Sure, the danmaku gets really bullshit at times, but because of the obscene amount of resources you get you can pretty much just bomb your way through everything after a certain point. Characters like Marisa B and Sakuya A also scale fairly well into the late game. I’m just speaking from personal experience, but if you just bomb smartly enough you should be fine for a normal 1cc.
Honestly yeah, on normal using the good shot type for each character (RA, MB, SA) it's pretty easy to finish with no continues. The other shot types are a fair bit harder simply due to lacking the benefits of their alternative shots (RB's loses focused homing in exchange for barely better damage [assuming you don't do the funny shift-spamming] and a weaker bomb, MA's doesn't have the life piece generating bomb and has noticeably reduced damage at any amount of distance in exchange for honestly strong shotgunning, and SB loses out on basically everything that makes Sakuya A good [Homing explosive focus shot with higher dps and faster clear times not counting the whole speedkilling thing where you make the knives detonate immediately] + the shield bomb which effectively gives you 2 PoC's or refunds you part of it back, although I guess it's to be expected that the shot made specifically for scoring is worse for 1CCing). Still, while it's definitely quite a bit harder with the worse shot types, the game does give you quite a lot of resources to throw around.
I'm actually triggered by the fact you are playing PoFV wrongly. Also LoLK is too high and EoSD is too low
