Koishi Komeiji Kindly relocate somewhere else miss Komeiji. I've seen some of your "work", and don't want to go on any "heart throbbing adventures" anytime soon.
I remember 'bout 3 years back when I first discovered Touhou, I felt so proud that I knew 10 characters. Yes, 10. And I remember I found Koishi's theme, and I'm like WHAAAAAT?! THERE'S MOOOOOOORE? ... I was (and still am) so stupid
Interesting. Koishi's basically just prancing around during "Genetics of the Subconscious", throwing around danmaku as she does. Ego-less (conscious mind-less) people are scary indeed. Don't you guys think the fact that she's fighting on instinct makes her the perfect fighter? She's unorthodox and is spontaneous, which makes fighting her a pain. Hopeless Masquerade and Urban Legend in Limbo further solidifies this in my mind.
I love the "Philosophy of a Hated Person" attack, it's really symbolic IMO. The way you reacted to it was just what ZUN probably wanted - the philosophy of a hated person is a horrible fungus-like explosion you do your best to dodge while still calmly traversing society (the rest of the attack). Do I sound pretentious? xD
Utsuho and Koishi are the only characters EVER to give the player a warning before their spellcard(s) (listen closely at 7:38, there's one klaxon instead of three).
This video was uploaded 12 years ago and it still looks all new to me. Dang, Touhou games just feel like barely anything has changed, I really love that side of Touhou where it just looks it'll be the same. No matter how much time has passed, it will always look the lovely bullet hell game that we all loved ever since it was made.
I really like the anti-bomb mechanism in extra bosses In mokou, she straight up doesn't gets any damage and reisen's bombs don't detect her In flandre, she becomes a bat In koishi, she haves a shield
XD Your commentary is always insightful and witty. The fact that it was your first playthrough is pretty impressive relative to my shoddy danmaku dodging skills. And people like ZUN who almost singlehandedly compile games amaze me. To be able to come up with such beautiful music, engaging gameplay, and likeable characters all alone is a miracle.
Haha I love your written narrations with these vids, I've really been interested in Touhou a lot lately, even if it does sort of destroy my eyes when I watch it xD
Yeah, thought so...I heard Touhou 11 is the hardest Touhou game...(Even ZUN think he went a bit too far with Hard mode and Lunatic.) People find Touhou 8 easier only because of Spell Card practice. I think the "two-woman team" makes it a bit more complicated than Touhou 6 or 7. I beat Touhou 10 and the extra stage too! I feel so good. I'm gonna play Touhou 13 since that's the easiest one. So you gonna post anymore Touhou videos?
abt yr description, the reason koishi is so carefree is because when she closed off her third eye she also sealed off her conscious mind, so she can no longer properly bo loved or hated or to even properly feel anything anymore, so she cant feel all the pain and thus is so "carefree". anyway, touhou characters are all so cool!!!!! i love flandre!!!!!!! i mean who wouldnt love a blond loli bloodthirsty creepy cool awesome childish "playful" vampire who is mental and dangerous and could destroy the world with multi-coloured crystal wings??
Genetics of the Subconcious is just, no... Thankfully it is very much doable as long as you know how to use your bomb (make it so that Koishi is at the top when the bomb ends so that you can deal damage afterwards)
I think it depends on how well you can read the attack patterns. I find Koishi one of the hardest ex bosses out there, but I have the strong possibility of dodging all her non-spells and spells. Mokou on the other hand, has one really REALLY annoying non-spell that either kills me, or I have to bomb, and I find a few of her spells are harder to actually capture. I somehow find Mokou easier, but with the way I explained, it should be the opposite.
1:02 It seems Junko's easy modo bullets weren't so original after all... 6:43 Yukari was making fun of you In the background of the background ;o 8:32 Quick question tho, Could Koishi have killed you by touching you? :l That last spell... It feels like each Sonic games In a nutshell.. [put the one before the last I Sanic] Also, you seemed pretty calm despite how close to loose you were.. [I mean after you lost your second life >.
@DarkIceyBird The trail behind the hearts. There is also the fact that "the perfect ass" is considered heart shaped, but I think the trail behind the hearts is the most likely of things.
That's the kind of Touhou playthrough I enjoy: imperfect, yet skillful, with fun comments added ^^ I don't get why you compare her with Ran though o.O Ran is one of the "easiest" extra bosses (IMO, just a bit tougher than Flandre). As for easy non-spells, Flandre's are way easier (but yeah, Koishi's are quite easy by extra standards). This is really one of my favorite extra (probably tied with Flandre) ^^ I only cleared it 3-4 times though ^^; lol at 6:45 death xD
i considered subscribing to you when i realized i liked you, but i didnt. THEN I SUBSCRIBED WHEN I REALIZED THAT I LIKE YOU CUZ YER SO FRICKIN AWESOME!
@regalstar True story: I reinstalled UFO but I was able to keep my replays. Watching your replays WILL re-unlock songs to listen to in the Music Room. But it's also fun to see how the history for your spell card attempts/captures is 00/00.
Oh the genetics spellcard does take the shape of DNA strands. It's hard to tell immediately because it's done in such a manner that the strand is '3d' but you can see the coils particularly around 7:22
Well, I managed to perfect run all the way to Koishi...and lost two lives on her first nonspell. I hate ring patterns, especially when I have to dodge them sideways. I have a hard enough time predicting paths from ahead of me (Darn you, Miracle Fruit and Bumper Rice Shower!), I don't need them from the side as well! It's gonna be a while before I can beat Koishi.
Another pointer: if you're headed into a gap, err toward the larger bullet, because /generally/ the bigger the shot, the bigger the difference between the sprite and the hitbox.
"Trivia time: Look at this video and the "Subterranean Animism Extra Stage" video. There's something odd. Whoever can identify what is this oddity I speak of wins a virtual cookie." ...Were the videos recorded by someone else? I notice the spell histories seem wrong, like how some say you never faced them at all... Although the framerate drops in the video seem to correspond with the ones in the replays, and you did mention recording this video at the end, so I dunno.
SuperSupermario24 I think that's actually an issue of the replay interface. But the answer is close enough. They were recorded in different runs. In this one I did well against Koishi, but meh in the stage. Vice versa in the other.
Oh, I see now. Yeah, comparing them I see that the score and graze counts are different. (Is it bad that I'm surprised you remember some of this stuff close to 9 years later? ._.)
The first time I fought Koishi, I think I noticed something. Her spell cards tend to focus on how people think and their natural reactions to it, and punish them if they follow their instincts...right? Like the one around 7:57. Naturally, you'd want to move to either the top left or top right, but with that...thing...there, it discourages you from doing so. And I really don't get the Embers of Love joke. Can anybody help me out here?
@anihilator100 Usually, Kind of like Danmaku Bounded Field (or Descent of Izuna Gongen), it probably has its phases on two separate measures. One for HP, one for time. It would likely look the same near the end, activated by time running out instead of HP running out.
All the videos of koishi dodge the first spell weird they spaz to the side and back, but how I dodge it is speed to the bottom after the lasers pass, graze for a bit, jump to the side and move into the opening that creates to go back, it also ends the spell quicker

3 years later...
1 hundred characters
There are fairies..... Soo you know 981898181818 Characters....
For me, that was the same. Except I only knew EoSD characters and Mokou.
Then I learned Reisen
Then the Touhou knowledge expanded.

I finally beat Koishi today! With 0 extra lives and 0.00 power left. It was pretty intense...
I haven't even touched Touhou 11 yet
+TheShadowGames I can't even play any game past Touhou 9
+AlphaGamer Z I've been working to complete 7-9 at the moment
I completed the stage just like you.
I didn't even shoot during Subterranean Rose, because it was easier to dodge the first phase for two minutes.
For the life of me I can't beat SA even though I've beaten 6-8 (albeit on norm)
It's okay, that's just how she shows her affection.
Anybody else come here to compare with the new Touhou 3D vid?
Haha, you too!
Mostly to admire Subterranean Rose again
Me too
Not new now but yes😊
No
I think Koishi's "genetics of subconsious" spell thing looks like atoms tbh
"Hartmann's Youkai girl" probably the most memorable track in Touhou at least for me.
wait.
when suwako appears, koishi is totally normal, but BEFORE suwako appears she have torn clothes and some injuries
WTF
Here's some food for thought.
In Gensokyo, logic is nonexistent.

I really like the anti-bomb mechanism in extra bosses
In mokou, she straight up doesn't gets any damage and reisen's bombs don't detect her
In flandre, she becomes a bat
In koishi, she haves a shield
Where Suwako Moriya Or Nue Houjuu
And then there's phantasm , where the mini-boss also has anti-bomb
Mostly sure that anti bomb applies to stage6 last spell too
It goes from 7/4 to 4/4.
And...here are the speed:
0:01 - 166.2 BPM
0:11 - 166 BPM

Yeah...
0:13 , 7:34
Am I the only one that found the music just right when "Instinct: Release of the Id" was cast?
The way Koishi moves in "Genetics of the Subconscious" is somehow creepy itself :x
koishi's sprite movement is just too cute
i can never look koishi the same way again after that spellcard..
XD Your commentary is always insightful and witty. The fact that it was your first playthrough is pretty impressive relative to my shoddy danmaku dodging skills.
And people like ZUN who almost singlehandedly compile games amaze me. To be able to come up with such beautiful music, engaging gameplay, and likeable characters all alone is a miracle.
Koishi and "little stone" pronounced the same in Japanese,that's why Suwako says that.
Those 'flowers' are like fuzzy caterpillars!
Haha I love your written narrations with these vids, I've really been interested in Touhou a lot lately, even if it does sort of destroy my eyes when I watch it xD
You find flowers creepy?
When they are trying to kill me (and you have to double check to tell they are supposed to be roses), sure.
I found them really pretty, but then again, I wasn't the one fighting Koishi. So who's the hardest extra boss you think you've faced so far?
Evan Decker
Koishi...
Yeah, thought so...I heard Touhou 11 is the hardest Touhou game...(Even ZUN think he went a bit too far with Hard mode and Lunatic.) People find Touhou 8 easier only because of Spell Card practice.

So you gonna post anymore Touhou videos?
Evan Decker Touhou 13 just offers you too many bombs and lives, making it easier than smithing a knife out of scissors.
XD This was fun to watch, especially at the end with the creeping things!

But she wouldn't be able to destroy the world since Gensokyo is sealed off from it, though :P
hmm.... but would the eye of the earth be sealed off?? i mean they are still connected to the ground
@@kiana5650 furthermore, flan can move anything's core eye into her palm
she isn't limited by separate worlds
Lol check Koishi floating through the air when she goes ''Yaaay'' XD
Subconscious: "Rorschach in Danmaku" is probably the most visually appealing spell card I've yet seen.
Genetics of the Subconcious is just, no...
Thankfully it is very much doable as long as you know how to use your bomb (make it so that Koishi is at the top when the bomb ends so that you can deal damage afterwards)
5:28 Ah yes, the "technically not a survival" card.
I love ZUN's spellcard-naming-sense.
2:16 Panic Bomb XD
This video was uploaded a few days after Minecraft inception

I remember versing her. I was doing so well until my laptop died in the middle. I was running like a headless chicken trying to find my charger.
I'm hobestly asking myself if all that ''Love'' stuff from UT just comes originally from Koishi's attacks.
Sarah Ericson There’s a few similarities in her theme as well
6:43 It looks like Koishi uses her manipulation of the subconscious, to hide the bullets xD
1:02 It seems Junko's easy modo bullets weren't so original after all...
6:43 Yukari was making fun of you In the background of the background ;o
8:32 Quick question tho, Could Koishi have killed you by touching you? :l

The trail behind the hearts. There is also the fact that "the perfect ass" is considered heart shaped, but I think the trail behind the hearts is the most likely of things.
The Touhou rabbit hole of lore and backstory is way to deep for my tiny brain to understand.

"I normally capture this card"
History: 00/00

It does look like DNA, it's a double-helix
Every spellcard you said you usually never capture, you captured.
I had a dream I was playing SA, and the first boss is randomly Koishi, I was like "O.O"

It's so long that it's actually pretty epic as a boss fight
If Koishi is doing this Inconscious imagine her actually trying to kill you
well, i think its a left over that for some reason was off of the screen, and so evaded the bomb, then appearing on screen randomly, and pinging Reimu
Oh the genetics spellcard does take the shape of DNA strands. It's hard to tell immediately because it's done in such a manner that the strand is '3d' but you can see the coils particularly around 7:22
Koishi is someone who deserves headpats. Now who am I kidding, all Touhou characters deserve headpats.
At 3:53, I swear to god that I heard the death sound...

Oh, okay then.

It's gonna be a while before I can beat Koishi.
nice now if only i could unlock the extra stage
heres to another year of trying i keep getting closer the more i try
that creeping thing scares me seriously
Her boss theme can get really menacing for a girl who shoots hearts at you.
Marisa says it with lasers, Koishi says it with hearts.
Is it just me or does the music get epic'r as you progress through the stages of touhou?
1:46 definition of lovebombing (its hearts)
Another pointer: if you're headed into a gap, err toward the larger bullet, because /generally/ the bigger the shot, the bigger the difference between the sprite and the hitbox.
