Touhou 20: Fossilized Wonders - Reimu Blue1 Lunatic 1cc
4Oh boy, Touhou 20... I had some very mixed feelings about the trial version, if only because of how stupidly underpowered your shots were, and how it was nearly impossible to build yourself up on Lunatic as a result. Only way I even Lunatic-1cc'd the demo was by cheesing it with Yellow2's hyper.
Come the full version, and ZUN did some much-needed balance adjustments, which I'm sure I don't need to further belabor. Even so, though, my first impression of especially the back half was: "Jesus fucking Christ, none of this can be dodged at all..."
Still, it wasn't gonna stop me from trying, and for my first Lunatic 1cc, I wanted to avoid hypers or assists that let me cancel bullets, so both Yellows and Blue2 were out of the question. I ultimately settled on Blue1 because Red and Green have the worst stage 4 midboss, but also... well, with the loadout I picked, I ended up with the holy trifecta of shot types all in one package: wide, forward focus, and homing. Plus, Reimu's bomb is OP enough to almost completely deplete an attack's health all on its own.
