Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character - Extra Stage (New Commentary Version)

For the stage here you need to really be on your toes. It gets easier once you get into the rhythm of things but in many cases you have a very small window of opportunity for success before everything goes to hell

Benben and Yatsuhashi can screw right off though. It’s not the toughest extra mid-boss I’ve had to deal with but god damn did “Joururi World” alone made it a good close second…

However, to balance things out Raiko actually isn’t too bad. She’s not easy mind you (I’d put her more at above average difficulty) but it’s more, the mechanics of the game make her fight, and the entire stage in general the most generous extra stage I’ve ever done.
