It is a Metroidvania with Touhou systems. You gotta remember first and foremost that your safety takes top priority. grazing accomplishes nothing useful in this game if you have full meters.
@@ninjakai03 The way bosses and stages progress is indeed really well done, they give hints and such at some posible patterns, introduce mechanics and see them implemented and all kinds of stuff thats really well thought out, more with how as more skills are obtained one can mix it up and works even better during the fights
She holds the dubious honor of being the greatest martial artist, in a world where the primary method of combat revolves around the concept of spamming copious amounts of projectiles. Whoops...
This is proof that being able to control time wouldn't inherently be very powerful. Many players struggled and failed to Meiling during their first encounter. But many other players with our without time stop took care of Meiling. It's not that time stop is not strong, or overpowered, It's what you do with it that makes it strong.
If Sakuya had her real actual time stop ability to infinitely stop time like she stated at the start of the game, then I hope you know that it would be alot more difficult for the bad guys then you think.
For me this was the complete opposite which is odd since everyone else just died like 20 times but honestly snail time to throw one cycle of knifes then freezing time to throw 18 knifes behind her is surprisingly effective.
I would have never thought Touhou was good...But the music of a game is waht really sells something for me, along with complex gameplay. As of today, I tried Luna Nights and upon hearing this and fighting the first boss (With JoJo memes intensifying), I truly have become a fan
For real, its like First 2 tríes in all bosses "Omg how I am going to defeat this boss the attacks are so hard to dodge", and then when you figure it out its speedrun no dmg boss fight, few games feel so rewarding when facing bosses
me: oh this should be easy SHE CAN GUARD WHAT me: again yes i beat it 2 hours later: love colored master spark starts playing me : wow its actually easy 5 seconds later OH CRAP WHAT IS THAT SPIRAL BEAM WHAT
Shanghai Alice in 1884 in EoSD: oh this is EZ Shanghai Alice in 1884 in Luna Nights: Oh no Shanghai Alice in 1984:???? 1984: Oh, I’m dead. (CRITICAL SHIT!)
that’s because this is a fan made metroidvania game, the mainline touhou games are mostly bullet hells, so play that and then we shall see if you are good at touhou games
I dunno if it's because she's the first boss, so you're technically at your weakest when you fight her, but Meiling is usually way tougher than Marisa and Patchouli for me.
Me: *THOUSAND KNIFES IN BOSS RUSH WITH TIME STOP*
Meiling: *G U A R D*
WHY WONT YOU DIE!!!!
Just wanting to make people smile. NANOMACHINES, SAKUYA

They harden in response to physical trauma...
*YOU CAN’T HURT ME, SAKUYA!*
What is this a reference to?
Kaiser Calvin 1 Metal gear rising revengance
The song that plays when you're reminded that the mansion's comic relief character is still a tai-chi master with Qi powers.
And one that could very well give FUCKING GOKU a run for his money, knowing how busted Touhou characters are.
@@datboigokumi6048 True that.
Yep
@@datboigokumi6048 You must've been reading the VS battles wiki, most touhou characters aren't nearly as strong as Dragon Ball Z lol.
I don’t buy that. Touhou characters are known to be overpowered as fuck. And I do admit I browse VS Battles Wiki from time to time.
that moment you realize "THIS IS THE WEAKEST BOSS AND I DIED 8 TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO THROW KNIVES UPWARDS??"
The OST of this game is godlike
Nice pfp
It's a Touhou whaddya expect?
***guard***
Indeed.
The thing I learned from this boss fight was "don't be stupid and stop trying to graze all the time"
or just slow down time, graze a little, then stop time

@@ChimericWhite it has saved me a lot of times tho

I know it’s a good sign when the first boss took me 15 tries
Have you finished the game now?
@@cc_coffeecovered No lol
Bruh I beat the first boss like 10 minutes ago on my console after like 2 tries.
@@thelogicdefier4630 Great, now finish the game.
@@cc_coffeecovered
Also me: -throwing knifes at minigun fairies-
Throwing thousand knifes back of meiling lmao
Boss #1: Easy, no problem
Everyone else: GAME OVER
Marisa was one of the biggest difficulty spikes I've seen (other than Flandre and Reimu)
Meiling, a somewhat grown woman. It was a fun fight.
i love how it gave a general impression on how the bosses work, which is great for the first boss lmao

It's not like physical attacks aren't allowed in spellcard duels, see Remilia vs Yorihime for example.
@@icecreamflavouredjunko599 Aye, but ones really shouldn't bring their fists to a gun fight.
Unexpected good ost to fight, that was a good first boss tho.
The Very Theme That Got Me Playing This Game. Not That I Never Knew A Lot About Touhou In General, But This Theme Got Me Motivated.
Why Are You Starting Each Word With A Capital Letter.
@@atijohn8135 If That's All You Care, Then, Sorry. I Cannot Answer You That. Please, Get Out.
Welcome to Touhou
@@omega7677 Thanks.
Hello Unga Bunga Dragon Man
just started playing, and I think it's a good sign that I wanted to fight the first boss again right after I beat her.
not least because of her ost.
Ah... the sound of guard...
I just bypassed it mostly by just throwing the knive really REALLY close to her, as in they’re basically already inside her close.
And slide knife.

lmao you just go snail mode or stop time and jump behind her its easy as hell
If Sakuya had her real actual time stop ability to infinitely stop time like she stated at the start of the game, then I hope you know that it would be alot more difficult for the bad guys then you think.
Me against other bosses: Did it in 1 or 2 tries
Me against Meiling: Failed about 6 times or more
For me this was the complete opposite which is odd since everyone else just died like 20 times but honestly snail time to throw one cycle of knifes then freezing time to throw 18 knifes behind her is surprisingly effective.
Youre just learning the controls and surprise, bosses with block and flight mechanics are now a thing
This theme makes me think of someone dancing/spinning as a rainbow coloured flower danmaku bursts out of them.
Amazing first boss. It feels like you're being properly challenged and need to focus even though your 'power level' is pretty low.
A remix of the theme of a woman whose power martial arts mastery could give even Goku a run for his money.
Shanghai Alice Of Meiji XVII
This is probably my favourite theme in this game.
Well... China has a good theme.
Or Japan?
@@Danisveryfreaky Meiling is the chinese character y'know-
Best song in the game
No exceptions
Meiling was a pushover in EoSD so in this she simply blocks. Instant difficulty spike.
I would have never thought Touhou was good...But the music of a game is waht really sells something for me, along with complex gameplay. As of today, I tried Luna Nights and upon hearing this and fighting the first boss (With JoJo memes intensifying), I truly have become a fan
Unfortunately this isn't what the main games are like, this is just a fan game, a great one but still a fan game.
Took me like 5 tries took a break realized I had slide attack came back 15 mins later beat her in like 4 mins
THANK YOU I HAD NO IDEA THAT WORKED
Now this is a boss fight
Took me a while to figure her out but once I did she wasn't too big of a threat
For real, its like First 2 tríes in all bosses "Omg how I am going to defeat this boss the attacks are so hard to dodge", and then when you figure it out its speedrun no dmg boss fight, few games feel so rewarding when facing bosses
literally just spam slow time and then pause while she’s blocking and then throw every god damn knife you have at her back
holy mother of balls this songs beat is a watch ticking and on the climax it adds chinese instruments to the beat.. holy FUCKING shit

that guitar is so good
Fun boss to speedrun! (Especially in Boss Rush Mode)
_GUARD_
KICK

GUARD
I thought the change in name was because it’s a remix, but now I’m wondering if it’s just a literal translation.
yeah year 17 of the meiji period was the year 1884
me: oh this should be easy SHE CAN GUARD WHAT
me: again yes i beat it 2 hours later: love colored master spark starts playing me : wow its actually easy
5 seconds later OH CRAP WHAT IS THAT SPIRAL BEAM WHAT
Cool
*guard*
OTL
I don't know what's more annoying, Meiling's Guard in Luna Nights or her Spell Cards in EoSD
literally 1984
Shanghai Alice in 1884 in EoSD: oh this is EZ
Shanghai Alice in 1884 in Luna Nights: Oh no
Shanghai Alice in 1984:????
1984: Oh, I’m dead. (CRITICAL SHIT!)
Big brother is watching you
Shanghai Alice in 1989
Hmmm are there many here who would think the game could be much more difficult too? I found it really easy
中国！
Yes zhong guo iz nais
Never played a touhou game... beat this on my first try
This is nothing like most touhou games
This is a fan game, play the main line Touhou game then come back to talk about your experience
that’s because this is a fan made metroidvania game, the mainline touhou games are mostly bullet hells, so play that and then we shall see if you are good at touhou games
Fan made my guy
I dunno if it's because she's the first boss, so you're technically at your weakest when you fight her, but Meiling is usually way tougher than Marisa and Patchouli for me.
Bruh people struggled with this boss?
literally 1884
Boss was too easy. Beat her on the first try.
