I feel like the question doesn't make sense. It's kind of like asking "Which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of lead?"

Well then, taking each to the logical extreme...

Super dense: You have nowhere to stand so it's impossible.

Super fast: You can survive any speed theoretically, unless they're so fast you physically can't move out of the way and they are aimed right at you.

So I don't know. I can't really answer since I don't know what's considered an average "fast" spell or "dense" spell.

Fast.

Cirno-bullets are easy.

Dense bullets that are kind of fast, followed by fast bullets that are just as dense.

Fixed it for you.

Again, fast bullets are fine so long as they don't require maneuvering between dense patterns. For example, you'd be surviving Eternal Meek rather easily until when the game decides to send a dense cluster of bullets your way. and that's when the card is hard.

Star King · « **Reply #153 on:** May 25, 2012, 12:47:32 PM »

Yeah but it doesn't have to be very dense at all (for me). If Eternal Meek was slow you certainly wouldn't think it's dense.

I'll go with fast. But I think fast bullets with little density (Eternal Meek on Normal Mode) or dense bullets with little speed (can't think of a great example... Cirno?) both aren't too hard. Attacks need both decent density and decent speed.

Way behind once again...

Favorite Ultra - PCB, because it's very balanced for the most part. Yuyuko still has some impossible stuff though
Best ability - Mokou's immortality :V
Greatest achievement - UFO Hard, since it was harder than any of the Lunatics. I wish I had some awesome scores to mention instead :ohdear:
Favorite OST - UFO
Dense or fast - Fast stuff, when the fast stuff isn't just simple streaming or whatever. It's not very common in Touhou though. ZUN was all over it with his PC98s, but outside of Eternal Meek, I can't think of anything that's really all that fast in the windows games.

What is the best Spell Card from the Extra Stages?

Best can be "most fun". Best can also be "hardest". You can answer one question or you can answer both.

This includes midbosses, partially because they have the best cards. :U

As for me:

For most fun card: Guerrilla Typhoon or Unknown Skyfish. For hardest card: QED, Native Myth or Froggy Braves the Elements.

I have no name · « **Reply #156 on:** May 25, 2012, 06:58:48 PM »

Either Descent of Izuna Gongen (Ran's version, sue me) or Pseudo-Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden.
because how can you not like a name like that.

BT · « **Reply #157 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:01:18 PM »

Oh, right, Yukari's version is actually a pretty good contender for hardest card unless you miraculously know how to safespot it.

Zil · « **Reply #158 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:05:39 PM »

Wild Carpet.

It counts.

Esper · « **Reply #159 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:18:57 PM »

For each one...

Hardest
EoSD: Royal Flare
PCB: Xanadu of Straight and Curve, same for Extra version
IN: Imperishable Shooting
MoF: Red Frog of Houei Era 4
SA: Philosophy of a Hated Mind
UFO: Tie between Rainbow UFOs, Undefined Darkness, Nightmare in Heiankyou, Grudge Bow of Genzanmi Yorimasa
TD: Stupid Miko's False Exorcism, Wild Deserted Island, Mamizou Danmaku in Ten Transformations

Most fun
EoSD: And Then Will There Be None?
PCB: A lot of the nonspells that aren't all streaming, Mesh of Light and Darkness, Danmaku Bounded Field
IN: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Charming Siege From All Sides.
It's so damn hard, but pretty fun.
And it looks awesome. :3

May change when I've played more extra stages.

Buu · « **Reply #161 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:22:02 PM »

Skyfish with Unknown Shape and Wild Deserted Island are the most fun.

MaStErSpArK94 · « **Reply #162 on:** May 25, 2012, 07:27:36 PM »

Froggy Braves the Elements, really fun and plus it has a pretty awesome name

Chuckolator · « **Reply #163 on:** May 25, 2012, 08:13:30 PM »

I refuse to pick just one, so I'll pick one from each game.

EoSD: Kagome, Kagome, interesting concept to spread bullets, ZUN needs to use it again.
PCB Extra: Kokkuri-san's Contract, fun navigation.
PCB Phantasm: Boundary of Motion of Silence, just a cool idea.
IN: Returning Bridge Ichijo, Total Purification is my favourite last word and this is the original.
MoF: Snake Eats the Croaking Frog. Not sure why, but it seems so fun to circle around her.
SA: Rorschach in Danmaku is a simple but great card. Best spellcard name too.
UFO: Tough choice here, but I'll stick with Rainbow UFO, a little strategy is always fun.
GFW: Open Universe. So intimidating, so fun.
TD: Mamizou Danmaku in Ten Transformations, just a fun survival.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #164 on:** May 25, 2012, 09:38:02 PM »

I'm finding it near impossible to pick a "hardest card" (or even "cards"), so I'll settle for my choices for "most fun" and why.

- Double Black Death Butterfly: Not nearly as hard as Satori's version, but still good enough to keep me on my toes.
- Izuna Gongen/Border of Life and Death: This would probably go into my "hardest cards" list if I had one. I like how I'm forced to really think ahead when reading the bullets in this card.
- Froggy Braves the Elements: Straight-up high-quality dodging. What's not to like?
- Rorschach in Danmaku: Pattern-based tight dodging, requires good judgment to ensure the gap you choose is actually big enough. :V
- Danmaku Chimera: Not that hard, but the idea of lasers turning to bullets and then back to lasers somehow never gets old.

Random · « **Reply #165 on:** May 25, 2012, 11:06:42 PM »

EoSD: QED - dodging is fun
PCB: Izuna Gongen/BoLaD - dodging is fun
IN: Honest Man's Death - grazing is fun and not a card, but Rings of Death - dodging is fun
MoF: Froggy Braves the Elements - dodging is fun
SA: Genetics - dodging is fun
UFO: Grudge Bow - dodging is fun
TD: Ten Transformations - ~~dodging~~ bombing and trancing for points is fun

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #166 on:** May 26, 2012, 12:47:55 AM »

Forbidden Games for hardest, BoWaP last pic timeout for fun.

DeltaSierra4 · « **Reply #167 on:** May 26, 2012, 05:21:28 AM »

Genetics of the Subconscious is my favorite SA extra

Esper · « **Reply #168 on:** May 26, 2012, 11:43:22 PM »

Let's risk repeating a question.

What is your favorite fan-created fight?

I'm talking about things like unofficial phantasm stages, danmakufu scripts, fangames, and the like.

My pick would have to be a tie between Mitori Kawashiro (Fun as hell, and "Forbid!!" sold it for me), Koishi Hell 2 for Philosophy of a Hated Meme, not to mention the good spell design, the good degree of humor, and nothing was stupid, and my third choice being Kanpukugu

Spoiler:

xxxx for just the sheer amount of creativity that goes into her cards. Almost all of her spells have an original gimmick of their own involved and honestly it's a breath of fresh air from DODGE THESE DENSE BULLETS THEN THESE FAST BULLETS THEN THESE DENSE FAST BULLETS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

But if you want me to pick one single, Kanpukugu. While Mitori is fun as hell to play against, Kanpukugu is actually beatable with a semi-rational life counter.

DeltaSierra4 · « **Reply #169 on:** May 27, 2012, 08:22:52 PM »

My pick would be Subterranean Hatred's Mitori Kawashiro.

Phantasm Romance Extra 4 boss: Reimu

Esper · « **Reply #171 on:** May 28, 2012, 01:59:41 AM »

Please post here more.
Redacted to seem less demanding :qq:

What is your favorite Final Spell?

I mean as far as the last spell of a game. This can count for either Stage 6 bosses or Extra Stage bosses. This can also count for fan-made scripts because they're just as good as the games in most cases. Kaguya's can be interpreted as either Rising World or Rainbow Danmaku, Eirin's can be interpreted as either Hourai Elixir or Astronomical Entombing, Mokou can be interpreted as either Imperishable Shooting or Hourai Doll, both PCB Phantasm and Extra can be used, Yuyuko's can be either Getting Lost or __% Reflowering.

My favorite Final Spell would have to be either Hourai Elixir, Divine Virtue of Wind God, or Flying Fantastica.

Zil · « **Reply #172 on:** May 28, 2012, 02:07:25 AM »

In don't know. It couldn't possibly be the one I answered this same question with 3 times before. You know, the one where I've played through the boring-ass stage hundreds of times just to get to the spell at the end. It's surely not that one.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #173 on:** May 28, 2012, 02:10:08 AM »

Hey, maybe some of us don't have answers to certain questions, or aren't on the forums as much right now, or something. No need to be so demanding, Esu.

Virtue of Wind God is still my response for almost any question that it could remotely be an answer to. :V

I have no name · « **Reply #174 on:** May 28, 2012, 02:18:34 AM »

VoWG.

Also, the questions that are variants on older questions are getting old (also the one before this one was exactly the same as the one about 2 weeks prior)

Try coming up with new original questions if you want to be the one asking them.
