Youmu's double trouble card in IaMP. Worse than Queen of Midnight.

[Anonymous No.]

The most memorable spell card for me is the Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-ji simply becaused it induced so much rage in me. Not sure how I care about other spellcards really.

[Anonymous No.]

Obligatory Master/Final Spark mention.
The GFW ones seem nice too, but I haven't found the patience to get thousands of replays to watch them all yet.

>Greatest Treasure

If I remember right this is one of nazrins later stage cards right? I'm stuck on her right now actually.

[Saegrimr !SHIELDM.mE No.]

One of my favorites is this of Youmu's, even on normal the slowdown gives a sense of urgency and tension.

Its not very spectacular and I haven't beaten it on Lunatic but its still fun as hell.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

I just bomb through Nazrin's to get the point items/ufo's right after. With Shou's I get too impatient and try to follow her too much and end up getting hit..

Ghost "Sinker Ghost" is the one where Murasa goes green and starts teleporting a lot, right? The trick to that card is to simply go around the screen.

>>6626029
Honest Man's Death is really easy, why do you find it rage inducing? Simply go towards the laser when it spawns.

Sakuya's Deflation World in IN is horrible.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

Quite honestly I love every single one of Youmu's spellcards, with the sole exception of that one where the bullets tornado around right before the timeslow.
In all other cases I enjoy the hell out of the time slowdown mechanic. Paschal Moon-Reflecting Satellite Slash is crazy tense, and Components of Konpaku is a blast.

Fuck every single one of Shou's spellcards, though. Except the blue lasers yellow bullets one.

>>6627091
Some of her stuff isn't so bad. Spleen Eater, at least, should be easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6627123

It's easier than the others, still died to it. Partially because I'm not used to it, though. It's probably the only I'll capture though, the others can just stay in hell.

>>6627131
Oh, sure, I still die to it once in a while.

[Anonymous No.]

Speaking of spellcards, has anyone in the history of EVER ever died to Scarlet Sign "Red-Haired Dutch Dolls"?

Every time I play through PCB, I can't help but wonder what ZUN was drinking when he came up with that spellcard. I'm pretty sure it's the only spellcard I have a perfect capture rate on in every single Touhou game.

[Anonymous No.]

Prismriver.
ALL OF THEM.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>6627131
you get used to them pretty fast. the first and the last one are easy since it's just a matter of getting the fairies out of the way for long enough, usually two trips around the screen is enough since the health goes down so fast.
the second last one is the only one that I sometimes have trouble with, but again fairly simple once you get a hang of it and look ahead a little bit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6627161

That's from PCB, right? Any quick way to check?

[Prof. Anonymous !JVVFLaNdrE No.]

Eh, really? They seem very very similar to me.
I can't stand 'em since I hate bosses going off-and-on invincible, but it's pretty much the same idea.
Well, except that Kanako's isn't even a spellcard.

[Anonymous No.]

Favourite: All of SA extra. Honest Man's Death (particularly impressive if you see a replay of someone circling Mokou instead of staying at the bottom)
Rage Inducing: the first spellcard of any Touhou game. It's fine when you get it right, but I'm usually trying to maximise scoring on the first level so I'm prone to fucking up. Dying on such easy spellcards is rage inducing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6629746
Remilia's is fun to me because it's just rapid but simple. It's challenging, but not a pain in the ass.
Kanako... I dunno. Maybe it's because Virtue of the Wind God is her only really hard spellcard, I'm always gunning just to take her out ASAP. The attacks while she's immune aren't really hard or fun or appealing to the eye, unlike a constant volley of blood-spheres or whatever those bullets are supposed to be. Kanako just seems to be deliberately wasting your time.
Furthermore, why is she immune? She just gets kinda darker than usual. Remilia turns into a bat, so at least something's clearly different about it. It doesn't really seem like Kanako's using a special attack; just going "haha, you can't hit me, and by the way dodge these boring green vertical columns." Remilia on the other hand, is clearly trying to own your bloomer-clad ass.
When Remilia goes shot gun on you, you can really show off to your non-Touhou-playing friends inb4 get out of /jp/ and have them in awe of your awesome bullet-dodging skills.

Strange Moon

[Anonymous No.]

Innocent Clockworks is the most rage inducing attack.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6630054
Yeah, I also like that non-card. I like that feel on lunatic when she shoots the superfast shotgun bubble blasts at you that just requires constant tapping. It feels fun and exciting yet it's very simple when you just look at it. And her random blood rain is fun when you get used to weaving through it. The third part of the spell is kind of meh to me though.

And yeah, what does make Kanako invincible for that one non-card?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6630054
Kanako's fight sucks except for the start and end. Her attacks also look bad, I don't know if it's the patterns or colors or the game's art but it is just badly composed. Byakuren throws pretty random shit at you too but it all looks good together.

Same. And yeah, I know it's easy. I just think speeding through those straight sections is pretty fun. You'll notice most of my favorites are actually fairly simple, once you learn the trick to them. I enjoy the dodge heavy ones too, but since those are basically just about your technical skill in a moment, they don't feel that memorable to me.

i pretty much skipped this whole stage. and then, Suwako and Kanako are pushovers (to a certain degree)

on topic of DS, level 6 and 8 probably take the cake, at least for me. just for Suika and Utsuho.

[Anonymous No.]

StB and DS always make me rage, even though the game itself is fun. Maybe I'm a bit masochistic. I'll understand what I need to do very quickly, but it'll take me hundreds of attempts to capture it once I get past stage 6 or 7. Even when I stub my toe on something, I don't swear nearly as much as I do when I play either of those games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6631534
Yeah, those games can be particularly rageworthy at times. For a view at the cards I hate the most from StB when I was scorerunning it.
Scene 6-1, 1008 shots.
Scene 7-5, 1391 shots.
Scene 7-8, 2532 shots.
Scene 8-5, 1351 shots.
Scene 8-7, 1888 shots.
Scene 9-1, 1093 shots.
Scene 9-6, 2637 shots.
Scene 10-2, 2669 shots.
Scene 10-4, 1351 shots.
Scene 10-5, 1468 shots.
Scene 10-6, 2788 shots.
Scene 10-8, 1718 shots.
Scene EX-4, 1613 shots.
Scene EX-5, 1077 shots.
Scene EX-6, 1630 shots.
Scene EX-8, 2042 shots.
You have not truly raged until you do a card perfectly for nine of its ten shots and screw up on the other one. It's at 3983 shots for photo count currently. I never really did get into DS scorerunning. The only other DS scene I have over a thousand shots in is EX-9 at 1305 shots. I wonder if I will ever get to it.
