@3:25 -- Gotta love Marisa's logic there. "So, the portable nuclear death laser device is spewing out fire? ...Welp, that just means it hits things even harder now! Whoo!" XD
Btw, Wild and Horned Hermit confirms that ReimuB is the canonical route (she complains not being able to use her Gohei and Sakuya and Marisa laugh a little when she talks about the incident, so they had a hand even if Reimu is taking most of the credit). Honestly, the characters feel "Balanced" here in the sense that you have all 3 characters be viable, if only one shot type: ReimuA has good DPS if you spam focus to keep the gohei centered on the boss (along with a crazy powerful bomb), MarisaB's bomb is hilariously powerful and SakuyaA is the best for survival play. I still think ZUN should've switched the bombs for Sakuya, that way you'd have either a great short or a great bomb but not both but oh well. And despite what people say, I quite like Wakasagihime's theme. Hell, I like most of the songs from this game (I dislike Seija's mostly out of rage for that boss fight but it is still a good song)
mean, Sakuya A is kinda stupid if you know how to work her silver blades right...like, sometimes killing bosses before they fire stupid.... and yeah Marisa B's bomb is stupid, especially on higher difficulties and the extra stages *ping ping ping ping Bvroosh ping ping ping*
ReimuA is the best character in this game. Marisa is very unflexible on Lunatic where if your at the bottom you will die horribly. Also ReimuA combo just kills enemies before they have the chance to fire at you. ReimuA kills most noms in less than 10 seconds with the darn scythe and talisman combo travizing the game. This making the game very easy to clear without even trying. Most the spellcards on higher difficulties punish you for not using homing.(Benben can crash your game on higher difficulties of your a B) Stage 3 Boss on Lunatic is complete rng. With the last 2 stages on Lunatic posing no threat to a good player. Marisa is rarly ever used on Lunatic since she fairs so poorly to the cast and to the stages in general.
Oh I don't have the unedited file for _anything_, I've had to download each and every one of these old videos off TH-cam. I've been able to edit out most of the "turn on annotations" bits I made back then, the ones for this game however definitly ain't happenin'
I love you Sakuya but I feel a little ashamed her attacks are often the most busted. Imagine if Reimu's homing amulets did regular damage, now take Sanae and give her Marisa's damage, that's Sakuya's main style in both games. SubAnimism deserved a bomb like this that could be economic and move through a tough patch, but instead we get a cheap version in the hardest game, a better one in the walk in the park basic game, and I have no problem with Reisen's if she has to go against the army of the moon and hell (I suppose if you're still bad at the game it's no replacement for Fantasy Seal).
So after DDC will come IS and after that will just be fangames, scripts until another touhou game comes out ? Well i guess we will have to wait and see.
This game... oh, this game... The game most high-level players just love to hate. (Seriously, one look in the Discord server's #touhou channel and you'll see.) Let's get to the elephant in the room first. This game's shots are horribly unbalanced, especially for high-level play. ReimuA and SakuyaA are absolutely broken. MarisaB is... ehhh. ReimuB is bad. Her needles are actually really bad in this game. MarisaA and SakuyaB are absolutely fucking atrocious. In fact? ReimuB only got an LNN a few months ago. MarisaA and SakuyaB though? Not. Even. A. Single. One. Yet. They're THAT bad... SakuyaB does have a niche in scoring runs though, but then again, so does MarisaB... Also I know these are old annotations, but no, SakuyaB doesn't produce blue point items, she makes green ones, which in turn increase the PIV. (Point Item Value, aka how many points max you get from blue items.) While MarisaB might make more Power items, bosses in this game drop 1 every few seconds so it doesn't matter all that much.
The shottypes are so bad that the recent Touhou World Cup, which assigns score weights to different shottypes, gave Sakuya A and ReimuA a 4x multiplier. SakuyaB and MarisaA had a ONE HUNDRED 100x multiplier. ...the pros still went with ReimuA and SakuyaA lol
Touhou 8, Touhou 13 and Touhou 16 I've found to be both the easiest and most forgiving. Those would be good games to start with to get a feel for how Touhou works
@3:25 -- Gotta love Marisa's logic there. "So, the portable nuclear death laser device is spewing out fire? ...Welp, that just means it hits things even harder now! Whoo!" XD
Oh my, we've reached this point already? I guess that means the end of the annotated re-makes will be ending relatively soon...
mean, somewhere between a third and 2 thirds of the remainig remakes are just spell card collection
I am very aware of that. It was the last hurrah for the old annotations~
Yep. After this it's Len'en 2, some more recommended scripts and finally Spell Card Collection. We're almost there.

Last main game in need of commentary. We're getting closer...
I mean I personally hear Wakasaki’s 100 sushi topping game but

THE GUITARS ZUN WHAT IS THIS
8:35 Ah, I see you're men of culture as well.
I keep reading DDC as Doki Doki Literature Club

“Turn on annotations to view commentary” Couldn’t find the unedited file huh?
Oh I don't have the unedited file for _anything_, I've had to download each and every one of these old videos off TH-cam.

Why the hell some parts of Wakasagihime's theme sound like Nero's theme from Devil May Cry 4?
I love you Sakuya but I feel a little ashamed her attacks are often the most busted.

Oh boy, cirno is back, and yet she loses to Marisa. She really is a baka

How did you guys manage to download the game in English?
English patch

What would you say is the best touhou game for beginners?
Touhou 8, Touhou 13 and Touhou 16 I've found to be both the easiest and most forgiving. Those would be good games to start with to get a feel for how Touhou works
@@MegamanOmega184 Thanks for the info.
10 too, at least in my opinion.
i find this game and 7 to be relatively easy too, for this game it’s pretty doable once you get the hang of stage 5
