When a spell card is declared in ufo, the little text that says 'spellcard attack', the text that says this goes in a crazy swirl at the bottom right corner of the screen. It might be best to watch a vid and see for yourself since i cant really explain it :V It's pretty useless info but wutev.

I see it prob would be in that game but i haven't played mof in so long. Yeah it'd be pretty hard to notice seeing as the bottom right corner is the last place you would look while preparing for the bullets to come down.

I'm sure most people who have looked into Gengetsu have heard ZUN call her "the most terrible, most fearful boss" by now.

Spoiler:
The epic "Youkai" like Taisui Xingjun that Meiling had to run away from in her dream in 12.3? When you leave it untranslated, the adjetives she uses match those ZUN used when talking about Gengetsu over a decade before then in the LLS music room.

you see the small text that says "spell card attack" right? It shows up right when the spell is declared. Well in the bottom right corner there are more than one "spellcard attack" spinning in like a circle. Normally it goes diagonally but you might notice a blank circle without the text in the bottom right. If you look to the edge you should see it. Pausing the vid might help.

I had to open UFO and watch an actual replay to see it. But, yeah, I see what you're talking about now

I wonder how you could see Gengetsu as a catfish in your mind's eye. Or maybe that's her true form? *shot*

So, Gengetsu, you show your true form. *shot*

The memories. Thanks, for reminding me of Andross brain raping me.

I just realized... speedkilling certain enemies in the Ten Desires trial makes other enemies appear that wouldn't appear normally. More specifically, the big fairies at the end of stage 2, or Kogasa in her midboss appearance...

It must be another case of music syncing!!

XephyrEnigma · « **Reply #911 on:** May 12, 2011, 05:28:28 PM »

Yeah, that sounds about right. If you go through things too fast, more things spawn to keep you busy. If you go too slowly, some enemies and maybe even a non spell gets skipped.

Drake · « **Reply #912 on:** May 12, 2011, 08:12:39 PM »

Nono, it's always been that way (since MoF for sure). Any time there are enemies on the screen (mainly midbosses) that impede more enemies from coming in, the enemies afterwards are omitted to keep in sync with the music. In many instances it's more profitable to speedkill the enemies since the extra enemies usually drop tons of points.

Cirno did this when she popped up in PCB Stage 1, if I'm not mistaken. Plow through her quickly, and ZUN sends more Kedama and regular fairies at you.

Off the top of my head: EoSD stage 2 midboss, not sure about stage 3 midboss meiling but I think so, stage 4 midboss, stage 5 midboss sakuya.
Can't think of anymore right now.

MoF was already mentioned.
Orin has both human ears and cat ears. I didn't know that until I read it on TVtropes, and uh yeah.
Maybe she has a cat hairband?

Speaking of SA, There's some kind of purple aura around Satori that messes with the bg, making it all purple and warbly.

Marisa's focused shot "Magic Missile" in th13 has the same sprite pattern as MarisaC's support shot "Air Torpedo" in th11.

Speaking of extra enemies, th12 extra stage's first two big fairies with UFOs do this too.

Evil Sealing Circle has never been represented as a circle outside of IN where it was arguably a circular path when you watch the amulets fly.

Aya is portrayed as one of the fastest beings in Gensokyo, but outside of Illusionary Dominance/Peerless Wind God, there's a lot of characters who are faster. For example, in Hisoutensoku, Youmu has a faster dash, airdash, and arguably is just as fast in her runpasts. Similarly, I don't think even with PWG, Aya cannot keep up with Youmu if she uses 200 Yojana in one Slash.

Cirno isn't really dumb to be honest. She's still technically a kid and while she's not a genius, she's not that stupid either. Just reckless and silly. I mean, heck, she's smarter than the other fairy characters we've seen thus far. And yes, that includes Sunny, Luna and Star. Seriously, they destroy her house then have the gall to ask her to join them. Idiots!

This. Finally another who thinks the same way. If anything though Marisa's almost the same way.

I agree about Cirno, she's not an idiot. Fairies in general tend to be less intelligent, but probably not to such a ridiculous degree.

I have to say though that I don't agree about Marisa. She's very intelligent, much moreso than Cirno. So much so that... In a world where the best magicians don't have to deal with human lifespans and tend to be much more talented than she is, she's able to compete with them easily just because of all the effort she's put into it.

It's just that she doesn't show that side that often. She doesn't like to let people know that she's put so much effort into her spells, and she tends to have a carefree/curious/silly attitude about most things, so it's easy to forget.

If anything though, you could say there isn't a single character in Touhou that's truly stupid. The weaker ones tend to be much more childish, but I don't think that's the same as being stupid.

Drake · « **Reply #927 on:** May 15, 2011, 09:43:14 PM »

Fairies can get pretty stupid, even if they're crafty at times.

@Drake: And yeah, fairies can get really stupid, but isn't that mostly just childishness? Hm.
