Sarcasm. LLS and MS are very good in their own way, although LLS is indeed still rough around the edges.

I never have trouble seeing bullets in MS stage 4 actually. The only time I'm ever dizzied is when bubble bullets cover up other bullets.
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

LLS was a decent game. Probably the least rage inducing of the PC98 ones, if only because it has the least "Fuck you" shot patterns.

I play and like PC-98 Touhou, parts of it are really good.  Windows Touhou just completely trumps it, but there seems to be people who absolutely love PC-98, which I just don't really get  :P

Difficult. ZUN doesn't give any thought to the characters' personalities (besides Reimu and Marisa) outside of their in-game dialog and profiles. Apart from that you'll have to look to fanon.

That's what i usually do. I really like to read doujins and if the characters have been granted convincing personalities it might change the way i look at them. I would say that doujin artists develop the characters based of the "templates" ZUN made for his games. Obviously STG characters can't be too deep (well, maybe in some shooters. I don't know.)

Overlooked characters? This isn't going to be a surprise considering the name I picked, but Akyuu's definitely high on my list. I love the touches of dry humor that work their way into Perfect Memento; I get the impression she's really sharper than she shows. Her perspective is really unique, and her own story is bizarre and kind of bittersweet.

The problem is that the majority of the Touhou fandom refuses to acknowledge the manga, stories and books like it's a rule...

Sorry? I love LLS, but there's some problems with this statement. I know I'm judging by lunatic, but the following are attacks I'd consider "fuck you" attacks:

Elly's blue bullet spam (I've dodged it once. Ever.)

Pre-boss spam of stage 5 Yuka (a.k.a PC-98 books)

Stage 5 Yuka's last attack phase (Sorry, did you not use Marisa? Well SCREW YOU, have a 100% solid wall of bullets across the whole screen that is literally impossible to dodge!)

Yuka's first attack phase (yellow intersecting bullets! With an opening that's about two hitboxes wide! And is open for less than half a second! I dodged this once out of pure luck)

Yuka's final attack phase (this attack is so thick it slows my game down to 30 FPS. I have never gotten through a single wave, nor can I even see an opening. I'm dead serious when I say this attack is the embodiment of BS, and I yearn for the day someone reveals how the hell it is remotely possible to survive)

And Gengetu Rape Time, but it's a little dumb to count time out phases of attacks.

MS is more difficult, but besides Yumeko there's no spots I'd consider BS.

Not even Cheeto lasers?

Also, I'd consider all of Mai and Yuki to be a huge fuck you.

Besides, I don't do lunatic. I know my limits. My reflexes are not up to it, and I suck at guessing the PC98 hitboxes.

In my MS lunatic 1cc, I beat Yuki and Mai without dying. In the same run I only used one bomb on the entirety of cheeto lasers. Cheeto lasers is simply very easy to screw up, it's entirely fair.

I can't stand Stage 4, the boss(es) I can handle (on Normal derp). I did get there on Lunatic once, but I quit after getting to Yandere Luize, matter of fact I think she killed me once and I got pissed off and went to do something else.

Stage 4 seems to almost always be one of the most aggravating stages in a give Touhou game...

Exceptions for me are LLS, EoSD, and SA.

I think Patty's library is quite tough, actually. I tend to have lots of trouble there but yeah, I guess Satori's mansion is quite smooth compared to what's waiting for you right on the next stage...

I hate that girl. I just call her the greater fairy, and assume that every single fairy midboss that looks like that is the same person, just trying to screw you over one time after the other.

Now the fairy midboss in MS stage 1, THAT girl had heart. I made up an entire backstory for her.

Right, here's a copy/paste of my writeup for her when I was bored enough to rank the PC-98 midbosses:

Fairy with a cause (MS stage 1): This one looks just like a regular fairy, but it's a midboss. It's pulsing with power...this girl must have trained every day, increasing her power far beyond what a normal fairy is capable of. It showed too! She had many friends, all admiring her for her message that anyone can rise up in this cruel cruel world and become a midboss! She took her stand against you, fighting for all of fairy kind...but then you killed her. Without remorse, you took her from this world. You just went gaily on your way, off to fight a goddess. You didn't even think about what you left behind. Dozens of mourners...sobbing...all plotting a revenge against you.

And the cycle continues...

But didn't Shikieki say to Cirno that if she isn't careful she will get an injury that won't heal? That must mean that it's possible for fairies to get mortally wounded.

EDIT: Here:

At this rate, you might receive damage
that cannot be healed naturally.
 
Cirno
That isn't true!
I'm the strongest!
 
Siki
 In other words, that means death.
If you die, then we will most definitely judge you.
At that time, whether you will go to heaven or hell...
Well, we don't know that yet.
