I guess my point was you said the danmaku in the game wasn't really that bad, yet you claim to hate about 1/3 of it. That simply does not compute with me.
Did you not read what I said? I said that Murasa was worse than Shou. That does not imply that I hate Shou, just that Murasa's ridiculously hard for a stage 4 boss, outranking even the fucking Prismriver sisters. Also, I hate Murasa. Shou is incredibly hard and jerkish but I only require one bomb, most of her attacks are just scary.
However Murasa is just downright awful and she is the only boss in the game that I truly, TRULY hate. I only like her music, she's got the best theme in the entire game. Her danmaku is fun but it loves to be a [REDACTED] and to tell the truth, it can eat as many redacteds as danmaku-ly possible.
I actually LIKE Shou, to be honest. However, Murasa eats most of my lives through surprise hits (SINKING VORTEEEEEEX).
So I have a new goal - clear the hardest easy mode Touhou (main games, no FW or PoFV or whatnot). The catch: I have to play with my feet. The question: which easy mode is considered the hardest?
You can play UFO Easy and it would nearly pass for a Normal difficulty average. Good luck.
