Midboss or Phantasm boss, it won't make a damn difference if you kids don't start theorizing on spellcards.
Rehash time, from the old ICS project. Of course, the fourth-stage bosses' gimmicks haven't been worked into these, so they're a bit off...
Ruro's boss fight is easily the most erratic of the entire game.
EASY/NORMAL: Canon Sign 「Shoot the Bullet」Suddenly, StB returns. Player fairy is tossed a camera and is forced to take six photos of Ruro, who is jumping around like a hyperactive monster cat. At least you start out with your camera fully charged.
Tripshipping x Arsen 「Akiha_what.png」Set off by the player fairy's remark about hot yuri action between Arsen and Ruro, Akiha_what.png appears in the background and shoots red bullets in flares out at you from her disapproving eyes, not unlike Kaguya's 9-4 in StB.
Windows Sign 「I Think PoFV is the Best Dual Shooter in Touhou」 Ruro takes up Shikieiki Yamaxanadu's judgement baton and goes after you with a Dragon-level barrage of hot dog danmaku. Higanbana background.
Technological Illiteracy 「I don't get what the hell you people are saying」A barrage of erasers and pencils.
Fate/Scarlet Night 「Unlimited Fanart Works」Paper shreds fly around as Sakura petals. Be sure not to get caught.
HARD/LUNATIC: Dual-Shooter 「Split the Screen」Suddenly, PoFV returns. Player fairy must last
120 40 seconds against Ruro, who starts out at full gauge. Consolation: you have Gorilla Power from PoDD at your disposal.
Tripshipping x Kilgamayan 「Shikieiki_Molest_Awesome.png」Set off by player fairy's passing along a remark from Kilgamayan ("can't rape the willing"), Shikieiki_Molest_Awesome.png appears in the background and Ruro starts throwing censorship bars out at top speed.
PC-98 Sign 「I think PoDD is Better」 SUDDENLY PC-98 GRAPHICS. Ruro puts on Yumemi Okazaki's cape and uses cross danmaku against you. Strawberries fill the background.
Translator's Resentment 「Screw your moonrunes, I am using a romance language」Oddities of Romance-language-only grammatical signs, fired as danmaku.
Touhou Lunar Legend 「ARC DRIVE FINISH」Ruro physically chases you around the screen, releasing a flash of red light at your position. Dodge neatly, dodge swiftly, graze well.
LUNATIC ONLY:
Theological Sign 「Danmaku Zeitgeist」 A combination attack of Shikieiki's hot dogs and Yumemi's crosses. Toss in a random lunatic-level Lily Black barrage, and you've got the basic idea of this spellcard.
Last Spell: Player is Nameless Fairy -
Okazaki Sign 「MORE CROSSES THAN A JESUS PARADE」 Crosses everywhere. It's like PoDD final stage lunatic-- on steroids.
Player is Erotic Fairy -
Interrobang Sign 「Why is this piece of punctuation so awesome‽」 Ultimate Shift-JIS attack. Every ASCII art you've ever known, used as danmaku.
Last Word: Sakura Taisen 「America no Bara」 Ruro's only remotely serious attack. Rose petals fly around, then start zooming at you like Sakuya's Killing Doll. Except much faster and more random.
There's also a combo attack with VIVI, since we were both stage five bosses at this point, but it's a reference to us both speaking in Spanish half the time back then, and as such is not compatible with Kanako Yasaka. :/
I think your first card on h/l should be toned dwon significantly. How about 40 seconds? :| Two minutes seems way too long IMO.Yeah, that was for a fifth-stage boss, too long for a fourth. It shall be changed.
