Touhou 20 - Fossilized Wonders (v1.00c): Stage 5 midboss "Jessie" Normal 1MNB
3Genuinely, what the fuck is this
Seriously, what the actual FUCK is this.
Jimbo ain't got jack shit on this. At least Jimbo is just bullets coming from wacky angles.
Jimbo is only really horrendous on Hard/Lunatic, Jessie is "wtf this should've been on Hard" on Easy and the closest you'll get to AbEX on anything but
This is the HARDEST shit that has ever appeared in any 2hu games that aren't optional. Like....this is supposed to be fucking Normal. No. This shit already resembles something coming STRAIGHT from Len'en AbEX (and definitely harder than some EE AbEX patterns, for fucks' sake). What the fuck do you mean that this utterly horrendous bullet vomit is on Normal?
Red fireballs are random bullet vomit, it appears. Just pick a god and pray. On Normal. On Lunatic the amount of fucking bullets becomes so hilariously fucking bullshit you'll get, like, 3 walls thrown into your face.
Purple/Blue pellets are classical wall macro bullshit. It is already bullshit enough on Normal, so....wasn't that much worse on Lunatic, probably.
Yellow hearts are supposed to be aimed, but because it happens IMMEDIATELY after the blue walls macrododging, they become effectively random.
Green mentos are.....another random bullet vomit. On fucking Normal. On Lunatic it puts fucking Eternal Meek to shame, because....mentos, duh. Oh and the bullets are fucking curving. Think Rising World but with Eternal Meek's bullet density. And after that you'll have to deal with lingering overlaps with the next wave of FUCKING FIREBALLS.
....and do you know what's the worst offender of everything was?
THEY FUCKING OVERLAPS. ON HARD AND ABOVE. So you have to dodge random shit with high tendancy to wall accompanied by FUCKING ACTUAL WALLS thrown at you. Immedately after, you'll have to macro while dodging the FUCKING HEARTS. Right after that? Curvy fucking bullshit. On top of the second wave of FUCKING FIREBALLS. And you'll have to survive, like, 3 cycles of the above bullshit.
This shit is, without a doubt, the dumbest bullshit that has ever occured in any Touhou game ever. Period. Even fucking PDH is slower than this shit, and you don't have to change your stratergy, like, every 2 seconds.
I suppose that if this shit wasn't nerfed, we won't be seeing any LNN of this game anytime soon. Perhaps this is ZUN's last middle finger to the likes of SOC, HNY, the plethora of Japanese/Chinese superplayers, Yats, and everyone trying to fully complete this game. First, the 5760 shottypes variants (technically) making 100% LNN with all shottypes becomes completely impossible (because there are people with 16 HSiFS and 12 IN LNNs out there). Then, this. This is actually just ZUN's false flag operation to convince people to go outside, touch grass and produce shit to combat the GenAI slop, instead of dumping 300 hours into trying to LNN this dumb game.
(It would be funny if this thing was, indeed, never nerfed. Please. That'd be so fucking funny)
