Will of Gensokyo is a dumb fight. It's conceptually cool, but putting all the Abyssal bosses together without actually re-balancing their mechanics is just dumb. Doing this boss near its intended level is an exercise in frustration, as the fight is more about resetting and hoping that the boss only spawns the easier Abyssal goons. There are so many characters that will basically doom your party if they spawn even once (like Abyssal Mokou, who still has to be killed four times, or Abyssal Tenshi, who still gets aggro'd towards characters with buffs, or Abyssal Kokoro, who still has her permanent mask buffs, or Abyssal Akyuu, who still has her damage absorption gimmick or Abyssal Sanae, who still has her Super Youkai Buster gimmick or...)

I would have preferred 3peso made a more scripted fight. Maybe instead of 12 random bosses from the pool of 56 playable characters, he could have had a scripted fight with the Abyssal versions of Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae, Youmu, Yukari, Yuyuko, Remilia, Alice, Aya, Keine and Rinnosuke (aka the four leads of LOT2 + the other playable characters from Touhou 8 + Aya and Sanae).

At least I got some pretty cool RNG in this specific run. I got to pit Shou vs Abyssal Shou, Mamizou vs Abyssal Mamizou, Kanako vs Abyssal Suwako as well as Miko vs Abyssal Byakuren... even if it ended up being, like, 3-1 in the Abyssal Team's favor

Music is "湖畔の村　Asian ver～" and then "Dark a Liar". Both are from Labyrinth of Touhou 1 (first theme is the Home theme, second theme is the theme of the final boss from LOT1's Main Game)
