Am I the only one that gets goosebumps everytime there is an awesome spell card activation?

I love how intimidating the danmaku looks and the picture of the boss rolls over the screen. It gives my life a meaning.

No, I breath a sigh of relief. Since it's one of her easier cards.

something similar happened to me earlier today when I was playing Mystic Square for the first time.
I got to Shinki, and all was going good, and then her wings came out and I was like "FUCK YEAH!"
Shit kept getting better and better. I ended up winning with 0 lives left. Great moment.

I always imagine the girls going into a trance everytime they are creating danmaku part of the spell card. This because they have to focus on creating the patterns, also being in that trance increase their defence, thats why the health bar lower so slow.

It's got an interesting shtick, and probably the most enjoyable part of the game. Unfortunately that's saying a lot. I hope the next game is closer to MoF for patterns, backgrounds, characters and polish. SA was really lame throughout.

But that's just, like, my opinion, man

I meant the last pattern specifically, because it did something different. Unless you mean the caution warning I don’t know what you mean by ripping off DDP, though. If I was going to accuse anyone of that it would be Satori.

Nah Utsuho's 2nd spellcard is pretty different, the bullets are way slower and shrink in size as they come down. There are also smaller bullets, while in DDP the fireball things are the only thing you have to dodge, but they are big and fast. It really plays very different.

People don't like her just because her bullets are big. I don't think bullet patterns influence which character people like at all in most cases.
Although I do like her fight, it goes well with the music and all.

That doesn't imply it hasn't been done before. Utsuho was a fairly well presented boss fight. While her patterns aren't particularly hard, her subject matter and the way that she's presented only makes her fit as one.

Personally I liked her because despite otherwise retarded character design (what the hell is that on her foot, a tea cosy?) she still makes for a intense finale we've come to expect from the series. Even less popular games like Mountain of Faith and PoFV had final bosses that made you stop for a moment to say 'FFFFFUCK' as they kicked in.

Utsuho is no different, you see her and to start with she looks pretty retard. You start fighting and her and music builds up, it's fast but her fast spell card is a joke... surely she's not going to be that har- Suddenly NUCLEAR RAID SIRENS blare out and the music kicks in, before you know it she's throwing suns at you.

Yes, Touhou is far from the first STG to have this, but it doesn't change the fact that for Touhou itself it's a new experience to dodge giant sun shaped damaku, all suiting her theme going against the more traditional legends others are based on. It was a good surprise and she feels as epic as a final boss fight should be, it's like fighting Yuyuko for the first time all over again. People may not take dreamcast girl too seriously, but the theme, the timing and the overall look of it was perfect.

tl;dr - Utsuho is relatively popular because for all her flaws she was still a really enjoyable boss fight, more so in my opinion then Orin who is more on the frustrating end, but she makes up for it by being a attractive character design.

>> No.2043494

>>2043426
PoFV can get pretty nasty when Reimu's and Aya's attacks get reflected at higher levels, and you wind up with random dot bullets rocketing at you. I'm not sure how fast they really are though, it's more the lack of time to react since they're so hard to pick out of all the other bullets when they're still high on the screen.

So you hate her because of that? Try reading the info about her. Her grey leg, her atomic leg and the super arm are the three legs of the Yatagarasu, or something like that.
Check Touhou Wiki for exact info.

>On her right arm, she wears a device known as the "Third Leg", which appears to regulate the power of the devices on her legs (aka a control rod). She wears a cape that's white on the outside and a starry pattern on the inside; the cape is kept aloft by her black wings. Her right foot is encased in congealed matter, representing the "elephant's foot" of Chernobyl. Her left foot is being orbited by atoms.

Her spell cards are fucking awesome, Nuke signs everywhere. Huge beautiful danmaku that capture the whole "Sun, Nuclear fire, Radiation theme" and the pulsating background. I wish I was good enough to play her instead of watching replays. THe tension must be killer.

yeah i get that too.

My personal favorite boss was Mokou. Though she didn't have too big of bullets (exept maybe the fujiwara volcanoe and flying bird pheonix), she proved to be extremely difficult, probably one of the hardest if not the hardest boss. I really hope they make her a playable character in the later series, I'm looking forward to it.
