>"If we go by average stage, one would assume that Yukari Yakumo of the only person to have an Phantasm stage would be the strongest touhou. However, on averaging stages with the other games, Yukari appears consistently in stage 6 out of total 7 stages for IaMP, is an EX-level for Shoot the Bullet, turns up Stage 4 of 6 (Youmu), Stage 8(final) (Remilia), Stage 3 of 4 (Reisen), Stage 5 of 6 (Iku) (on average a stage 6.5 boss on a 1 to phantasm scale) and on average would be a boss of stage 7.1 (slightly above Ex level). "

>"Suika, on the other hand, while she is undeniably the Final Boss of IaMP, only turns up in stage 6 of 14 in DS (A stage 4 boss if it was to be scaled to an 8-stage game) and for SWR appears as last boss for Patchouli, Stage 5 of 6 for Yukari, stage 1 of 6 for Iku and Stage 2 of 8 for Tenshi, which averages only to a disappointing stage 4.5 boss. "

>"On average, she appears to be a stage 5.3 boss after weightings."

>"Going by absolute stage level, on the other hand, puts only Hatate (Spoiler level, DS) on her power level."

>"Of all the characters, therefore, Hatate, having appeared only once, and in a post-EX level, indicates she is the strongest Touhou."
