For me, it's got to be Impossible Request: Rainbow Danmaku

I'm not sure WHY, especially since I hate fighting that spellcard. But it just is.

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

All of Utsuho's cards (especially Hell's Tokamak/Hell and Heaven Meltdown) because of how all the bullets glow and of course, suns.

Oh, and Devil's Recitation looks pretty impressive.

Donut, I can provide a question if you don't mind me filling in. While going through MoF again today, something triggered an old memory of a certain topic on here. I'll expand its question a little to form this:

Aah, thanks. I'm about out, so anyone who wants to fill in can do so. I just have one last question, and I'm saving it for the end of this iteration of the thread.

Favorite spell card? Mmm. Would it be unimaginative to say Virtue of Wind God? There are many many cards I like, many that are beautiful to look at. But none of them quite match up to the kaleidoscope of death that is Kanako's last card.
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

Donut, I can provide a question if you don't mind me filling in. While going through MoF again today, something triggered an old memory of a certain topic on here. I'll expand its question a little to form this:

From a purely visual standpoint, what is your favorite attack?

Because not every attack is a Spellcard (like that old topic asked for). So yeah, what attack from anywhere in Touhou do you think looks the best? My answer would be MoF midboss-Sanae's nonspell. I've always loved the way the big stars unfolded, creating that cool symmetric pattern.

from Touhou games:
- MoF/VoWG (for the pattern form, colors and the creativeness). I can't think of attacks that are visually impressive alone, but there are quite a lot of places where it's some combination of stage setting (MS stage 2 and 5, LLS stage 6, PCB stage 4, MoF stage 6), BGM (IN's Keine and stages 6A/6B/Extra, UFO stage 6, DS scenes starting from where Ichirin appears, GFW stage 2, final stage and bosses), the dodging of said patterns (patterns don't need to be visually elaborate or tight to be fun, imho)

from fangames:
- Reimu's bow-and-arrow scs (there's two iirc) in Phantasm Romance 2.5 Plus
- I remember some other stuff from danmakufu (Magical Singular Day, Phantasmagoria Trues, and other scripts on nico), but not exactly what was it..
neku: now for something important.
Translations.
How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

lusvik: I don't mind about playing HM in japanese. The language of punching other people is international.

From a purely visual standpoint, what is your favorite attack: Purely visual means it falls to Shoot the Bullet Ex-6, Mokou's Five-Colored Turtles. My least favourite card in the whole series, but damn is it pretty. Pandemonium is a very close second.

for me it would probably be Satori's redone version of philosophers stone because of how the elements are changed to look like the actual five elements would.

What, Donut forgot about keeping this up? Okay, fine, I can ask questions too.

What is your favorite shot type in the Windows games?
That's just so that everyone doesn't say "Mima in Mystic Square".

In terms of flashy and pretty danmaku, I like Yuka's shot in PoFV and Marisa/Patchouli's shot in SA. The latter especially so, because damn it is fun to switch around shot types and colours, I don't even care if it's weak and I can't beat the game with it.
In terms of power and effectiveness, SanaeB in UFO because yesssssss.

Marisa A in EoSD/PCB (probably the latter, if only because the first power stage is stronger in PCB than in EoSD).

No BS.

It's hard to keep this up every day after a while, you know. :( Feel free to take over. I just have one last question for when it looks like this is at its end.

As for the question, Marisa A in EoSD. People often say she's too fast and too narrow-ranged to be usable, but I think she is the perfect shot type for me. ^^ Even better, unlike future Marisas, her hitbox is the same size as Reimu's.

Also I would have said Yuka in MS but you forbade PC-98. :(((((((((

Touhou ain't exactly flooding with cool shot types. They are mostly pretty generic and usually pretty bad whenever ZUN tries to do something new. ZUN, i desire for you to make a shottype that's both competent and badass. So... to answer this question I'll have to go by performance and mention the Border Team. Its by far the most useful shot type in the series as it has a lock-on shot that's pretty powerful and very easy to use as well as a competent homing shot that makes sure to destroy any kind of popcorn enemy you hit with it.

Hmm... been brainstorming a bit about it and I haven't been able to think up any shottype in Touhou that combines efficient spreadshot with efficient focus shot. The best bet is Scarlet Team and that isn't good enough. Think Reimu going berserk with powerful screen-covering spread shots and an even more powerful Hakurei Laser

... That would be broken as fuck in a Touhou game I know but I'd still love to see her do that once just to cement the fact that Reimu always gets the most useful shots.

Solo Youmu/Netherworld Team.  One of my favorite STG  shottypes ever pretty much.  They're a big reason that IN is one of my favorite in the series.

Netherworld Team and Reimu B in EoSD. The latter maybe not as much because of Patchouli, but the Netherworld Team are great. Yuyuko's spread shot pretty much trivialises most stages and Youmu's power is really good for when you want to unfocus for time points unlike Reimu.

The coolest one for me is MarisaA in SA. You've got rainbow lasers and I love how the dolls dance around when you focus/unfocus.

Gameplay-wise I think I'll say ReimuA in SA. Good old needle shot, effective bomb, and the teleport ability is cool.

 In terms of effectiveness: Sanae B for stages and Reimu B from EoSD, PCB and MoF (Reimu A in UFO) for bosses.
 In terms of prettiness Marisa A and Marisa B in SA.

Most effective (from what i've played): Marisa in TD
Most fun: Reimu C in SA :V

Also have to mention Marisa C from Marine Benefit. Very fun shottype, but not as ridiculous as some others.

By "shot type" I assume that we are to incorporate bomb type in our evaluation. 

Understanding that bombing as a convention is utter shit and that dodging (and shooting) should be exclusively what shmupping is about, the best shot type is unquestionably...
ReimuC in SA!  :V
...because this enables you preemptively employ resources and consequently focus entirely on dodging (and shooting).


Edit: I meant Mari-C.  I have no idea how I keep confusing these two - and it's only these two shot-types in this one game - but I seriously need to learn the difference between red and blue.  Or something.
