Leftmost Reimu is ReimuA, right? Well, this run might not look very good, but it's a Lunatic 1cc alright and a decently nice one at the very least. There were problems - shouldn't have wasted so much on Stage 2 (aka Meira), shouldn't have screwed up on Stage 3 so I could have more resources by the end of it, should have been a bit better at Stage 4 (this one is the hardest to pull off) and shouldn't have gotten hit by that Mima bullet I forgot could even snipe you like that in the final phase.

But hey, -Menace- Marisa Kirisame done while wasting almost no resources! That's SICK. I actually like this bossfight a lot now, and the game in general ain't the worst. Well, you basically have to use ReimuA if you don't want to unnecessarily make the 1cc way harder on Lunatic, because you won't be able to get power/point items in time otherwise. Hey, wait a sec...

Anyways, you really want to use bombs when you have them in stock. More-so than any other Touhou that isn't named "Highly Responsive to Prayers". You see, despite me saying the game ain't so bad and I actually like it as a shmup now, it's janky. It has hitbox issues and you don't have a focus mode. If only one of those issues was present, things would have been way easier. Or if Julian Oliverstone (known under the nickname of JUN) didn't add that Mima stars attack that I don't even know how to dodge. I mean, I dodged "incomplete" versions of it (aka bomb and there's still stars left), but the full attack, wow. Maybe I just don't get it?

Also, wtf was that on 0:16
I don't know how I did that, it was legitimately an accident

Pretty sure your life stock is capped at 5 extra lives (aka 6 lives) so doing great early on and then tanking through the final two stages is not a valid strategy. Or maybe it is and I just don't know how to do it. Either way, this was fun! I'll try to work on Lunatic 1cc's of LLS, MS and PCB, since those games are fun and shouldn't be *too* hard. Might also do HRTP because it doesn't seem like a particularly hard one to do, some say it's the easiest to Lunatic 1cc but I dunno. I would also try EoSD and IN, but I've heard really bad things about EoSD's Lunatic.

Have you ever noticed that on Stage 4, there's no fade out of darkness effect? Well, there is, you just start in an area with the same color. In Complete Darkness, one might say. And in Stage 5, the pre-boss pattern is shaped like a heart. So, Love Colored Magic? It's probably unintended though.
