This one was a long time coming. I had done everything except Stage 6 months ago, but getting that last one still took a while, even with me making a compromise and using Marisa instead (I explain why in the video). I'd say the difficulty of this game actually varies quite a bit depending on your shot type, but with so many to choose from, you can certainly find one that matches a playstyle you like.

I have kinda mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, I absolutely despise how OP releases are, mainly because this makes HSiFS yet another game where clearing Lunatic becomes almost a complete joke, and it's harder to really respect any of the patterns or anything since you can just resource-spam your way through stuff. We haven't really had a game where Lunatic was a legit challenge to 1cc since UFO, I think. On the other hand, I still like almost everything else about HSiFS. The patterns are quite fun (especially in the late-game), the music is fantastic, most of the characters are interesting in their own ways (I don't care about Nemuno though), and you have a ton of variety and potential replayability with all those shot types, even though there's some natural imbalance that comes from that. If releases weren't so hideously OP, I think HSiFS would find a spot on the lower end of my "top 5 Touhou games" list.
