Touhou 18 ~ Unconnected Marketeers | Extra Clear (Reimu)
4Touhou 18 - Unconnected Marketeers
My attempt on clearing the extra stage for the latest Touhou series.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is actually my second clear on Unconnected Marketeers extra stage. Somehow, the first replay I saved is corrupted/bugged, where the movement is not the same as what I've played before. I keep dying on the replay, yet the game still continues even though I have no lives left. So I decided to redo the recording live.
This extra stage is bonkers. The stage itself isn't pretty hard, except for the part where spirits encircles you just like Orin's spell. But Momoyo is so goddamn hard. Her nonspell needs you to take a lot of risk, so I bombed/used Miko's shine a lot for that. And her spell gives me PTSD, especially the 8th spell, where it took me a lot of bomb and death just to get it through.
For the abilities, as usual, I use Miko's Shine for lot of screen clear needed for the stage part. Byakuren's Scroll actually has an additional effect other than doubles your bomb, it also reduces the cooldown of Miko's Shine (or maybe other actives, too). For the last slot, I used Eirin's Elixir, so if I get hit when I still had a bomb left, it will used 2 (or only 1) bombs instead of dying, just like Reisen's bomb in LoLK. This really prevent wasted bomb on death. Lastly, on the boss market, I purchased Eiki's Coin, so I could use 200 coin instead of dying (which I wasted in the first spell sadly).
Overall, the extra this time is really hard and challenging. Such an increase in difficulty since 16 and 17. I really like the danmaku pattern this time, it's pretty fun trying to clear the extra stage as usual. The stage theme is pretty nice to listen, feels like a smooth sailing towards the mine. The boss theme intro is pretty menacing, since she's a centipede youkai which is feared even by dragon ( I guess). But then, it goes to a melody just like Saki's theme, where it feels like Momoyo just wanted to have a fun duel with Reimu and co., definitely one of my favorite tracks from Unconnected Marketeers.
That's all I have to talk about. Hopefully the 19th series will come soon, because I know ZUN definitely never dissapoints. Thank you for watching.
