Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism - Stage 4 (New Commentary Version)

Those Terrifying Eyes Nobody Loves
~Palace of the Earth Spirits~

Oh boy... I've been dreading this one for awhile now. Christ this video's longer than the final stage... Well lets go at it, for starters the stage is a bit overwhelming but not as much once you know what the patterns are. Really the stage is separated into 3 parts when the fairies are spamming you with either blue, green, or pink talismans. While a little stressful at times each one has a distinct way to dodge them.

Rin isn't much of a threat... for now. As is the mid boss twice she's little more than free heart pieces. Her attacks really aren't a threat compared to the stage proper.

Now as for Satori she's... Well lets just say we're making up for lost time when Aya didn't do anything special last game. Satori uses four spell cards and the last three are copies of varying difficulty of your partners spell cards cherry picked from anything they appeared in previously. Interestingly this means fighting game spell cards are fair game. Obnoxiously enough though it also means Shoot the Bullet spell cards are fair game as well but thankfully those few are pretty tame.

But this means Satori's difficulty ranges astoundingly from character to character. Not just because I'm best as MariAli but I find Alice's spell cards to be much easier than most other ones in Satori's repertoire. Conversely I feel so sorry for anyone playing as ReiKari cause well... Yukari's a thing...
