I said it before, I'll say it again, it's damned criminal Yuugi hsn't been in a fighting game yet.

Yuugi vs Meiling has been a perennial wish of mine, I will admit.

Kind of a pity that Zun hasn't put anyone with a blatant Korea background in, although seeing that anyone from another Asian country (Seiga, Kokoro, Yukari, possibly Miko if you consider his/her educational background) with the exception of Meiling gets Japanese names it might cause an issue.

What do goons think of Gensoukoumuten's works? S/he tends towards rather sappy stuff, but I rather enjoy the worldbuilding and character interaction.

Gensokoumuten is great. He's managed to draw Touhou comics with OCs and not make me mad about it, which is impressive enough, but all his art is really expressive and his world is neat.

Unless you mean the trick to beating it without items, almost any of them will do the trick.

I can't beat it at all. The head always catches up to me on the second cycle. Best attempt yet was cheesing the umbrella until I ran out of ammo.

If you run fairly tight unfocused circles around her, you should always be able to stay ahead of it.

Worst case scenario, leave it until you unlock sub-items, and equip the Camera in that slot.

Just circle around the main body a lot. The head's speed is set up so that it never catches up to you if you do. Then it's just a matter of using a cheat item of your choice to avoid her expanding neck bullet thingy and you're golden.

A bit easier than StB or DS, but I still had a bunch of fun with it. Eager to go back in and try some scenes with different item combos. Also ZUN really outdid himself with the music on this one, I like it a whole lot.

Nope, there's no Hatate or anything.

Also "a bit easier" is an understatement, the game is significantly easier compared to the other shmups. Where STB and DS required a whole lot of precision in addition to figuring each spell card out, knowing is pretty much 90% of the battle in ISC. Actual precision and reflexes only start figuring into the last two or so days.

Edit: I mean Hatate shows up, but there's no new character just for ISC.

Just go for the no item clear on as many as possible for a challenge. I know someone's already done 56 scenes without any.
That congratulations screen seems to say something along the lines of "You have no friends" but heck if I can decipher it.
I really liked the music as well, it's really catchy and kinda...technoey? I don't know how to describe it but it has a good beat to it.

ISC feels like ZUN got bored with the camera concept and just started screwing around with different kinds of puzzle shooters. To get the most out of it, you'll probably have to constantly switch up what items you use.

Yeah to be honest I tanked some of the latter scenes with the substitute jizo and the miracle mallet.

I had a lot of trouble with 10-9 but I ended up doing it with the mallet as my main and the doll as my sub. It was actually really fun and it was satisfying whacking Remilia in the face. :v:

How do you even pull that off without Remilia exploding in your face? I just tanked it with the Jizo/Mallet combo.

Honestly though, the mallet is probably my least favorite item. Aside from 10-8 or whatever Tenshi's second spell card is I never really saw any opportunity to use it that wouldn't spell instant death to me. Meanwhile every puzzle that can be solved with the misdirection doll or whatever it's called is absolutely hilarious as your opponent just shoots in the completely wrong direction and you leisurely dodge stray bullets.

Whenever I used the mallet it was mostly to give a good whack before the actual card even started. On most cards it takes away around half the bosses health, which means less time you have to spend dodging. Not useful in all situations, but it was a fun alternative on some stages.

Re: the Sekibanki card

I just drew a path like this. With this method you don't even have to dodge any bullets.



In other news, the ghost lantern with the doll sub is basically cheating for a lot of the stages.

It says Seija has no friends.

A quick translation posted:

Congratulations! You captured all of the scenes! This is something you should be proud of.

However, now that this is over this girl has lost all her friends. (?)

She's not sad about it though. It's because she's an Amanojaku, so no matter how much time passes she can't make friends…

Seija should go team up with Medicine.

The line I'm not sure about starts with その代償として, which as far as I can tell means "With this payback".

All I wanna know is what petty excuse caused everyone of note to go on a massive manhunt for Seija. I mean even Aya had to track people down to piss them off rather than have everyone come to her.

Someone put up a reward notice for capturing her. It doesn't seem to be any of the DDC cast so I'm guessing it's someone from the Touhou Illuminati on day 10.
And since capturing someone apparently doesn't count as a normal fight everyone goes out of their way to cheat.

They're part of the Night Sparrow Love story by Mitsumoto Jouji. Mokou and Mystia are just talking and eating and generally enjoying each others company when Mystia's sparrows get bored.

They... recommend different scenarios. Ain't subtle.

In this case 代償 would be more like "the price she pays". Here's my take.

Congratulations!
You've cleared every scene!
This is a great accomplishment.

It cost you all of your friends, though.

But hey, don't worry, you'll never make friends as an amanojaku anyway...

Thank you for playing!!
