Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom: Lunatic 1CC (Sakuya B)
15Huh... This Lunatic 1CC was actually a lot easier than the EoSD one. Why didn't I do this first? Sure, it was more difficult than the Imperishable Night Lunatic 1CC, but it was still pretty damn easy in comparison.
The reason I chose Sakuya B for this run is because she's actually a great shot type, she's pretty much just Sakuya A, but with more damage. While her shot type takes a little getting used to, aiming with it is actually pretty easy with the crazy range she has. She also does great damage, and even better shotgun damage. There's only two bad things about Sakuya B. Her focus speed, and her bomb damage. Her focus speed is WAY too high, you can see that very clearly on my death to Alice's midboss spell. Also, her bomb does 0 damage, so her bomb is purely a survival tool. It's pretty amazing for getting cherry points, though.
Stage 1 for PCB is far less "restartable " than EoSD's, especially with Sakuya's range. You can get most items fairly easily, and Cirno is an easy midboss. Letty is also a very easy boss battle, her only dangerous attack being her 2nd nonspell. While her final spell may look hard, the curvy lasers she fires are static, so they'll pretty much never hit you. And the scale-shaped bullets are pretty much the same every time.
Stage 2 is difficult, but it's still much easier with Sakuya B thanks to her angle shots. Chen's midboss spell is dangerous though. Sometimes, it'll be easy. But other times, several waves of bullets will overlap. The final wave of fairies at the end of the stage are also dangerous, you can see I made a very lucky dodge on it. Chen as a boss isn't very difficult, the only big danger of her fight is her final spell. There's both slow bullets and fast bullets! Just stay away from the slow ones to make room to dodge any unexpected fast bullets.
The fairies on stage 3 are easy. But the midboss is difficult. Both of Alice's non-spells are pretty dangerous, and her spell card can just choose to kill you. The unfair part about her spell is that even before the lasers visibly activate, their hitbox activates a split second after the warning laser spawns. If a laser is aimed towards you, GET OUT OF THE WAY IMMEDIATELY. Alice as a boss battle isn't very difficult though, she must've wasted all her strength on her midboss appearances. Just watch out for her first attacks.
Stage 4 isn't as terrible as people say it is, in my opinion. It only gets bad after Lily White appears. I haven't played the stage very much, so my only tip is to try not to shoot the enemies that spawn before Lily White's appearance. They release a ton of bullets on death, but when left alone, they barely fire any danmaku. I don't have many tips for the Prismriver sisters since I only fought Merlin on Lunatic... But there's one thing you need to know; THAT FIRST NON-SPELL IS A KILLER. Don't be afraid to use a few bombs. That non-spell is extremely difficult. One of the hardest attacks in the game, in fact. Everything else is simple though. The final spell can be cheesed with a single bomb as long as you're not playing Sakuya B. Otherwise, it's still pretty simple. Just dodge the thing.
Stage 5 is a lot easier than stage 4. It only gets difficult at Youmu's midboss spell and the end where the fairies are firing all those bullets. I only did stage 5 on Lunatic twice, so I don't have much tips for it. Just know that when dodging Youmu's spells, when the slowdown activates, that's your cue to zip through walls of bullets before they start moving fast again. It's more easy with Marisa, though. Reimu and Sakuya are too slow.
I only played stage 6 on Lunatic once in my entire life. Yes, I went into stage 6 blind. And I still beat it. I'm so great, aren't I? But... Yeah. I have literally no tips. Just dodge the thing. She's easier than Remilia, so that's good.
In conclusion... I overestimated this game. I am a god at bullet hell games now. I'm going to hop on Subterranean Aminism right now and do an Ultra Lunatic NMNB 120fps run with Reimu C.
