Previous Round

Let's revive this! As it hasn't been posted since July, instead of bumping the thread, I just thought it'd be a good idea to make a new round.

So, without further ado, here's your question:

What is your favorite background in Touhou?

For me, it would either have to be either DDC stage 4's Background, or PCB's stage 3 background. TD also has a nice stage 6 background.

I think it would be cool to make this a daily thing again. I'll be willing to keep it active if we happen to miss a day.

I really like that waterfall in stage 4 of MoF.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #2 on:** September 14, 2013, 09:02:03 PM »

Seconding MoF stage 4. Also, PoFV Yuuka's stage. Who knew a sunflower field can look so menacing. Lastly, I've recently grown to enjoy the tranquility of TD stage 1.

Mero · « **Reply #3 on:** September 14, 2013, 09:03:47 PM »

Stages 3 and 4 of both MoF and SA, also Forest of Magic in GFW

Main stages aside, I also like how the background on Eirin's fight changes on every nonspell

Limian · « **Reply #4 on:** September 14, 2013, 09:56:40 PM »

I really like vibrant and colourful backgrounds, so MoF's selection is an instant hit for me. The extra stage in particular has a really nice and pleasant feel to it.
I also love the milky night sky in UFO extra, the gradient really does it for me, although it's quite unusual among other Touhou backgrounds.
As for spellcards, I enjoy dark, warm colours, although I can't think of a specific one I especially like at the moment.
Menus? MoF, DS and DDC are really pleasing.

For whatever reason I rarely pay much attention to backgrounds in Touhou, so I don't remember most of them all that well. My choice is anything in IN Stage 6A or 6B (including boss fights). Those backgrounds really hit a soft spot.

MoF Stage 3 for stages, Utsuho's space-trefoil background for Spell Cards.

Kaze_Senshi · « **Reply #7 on:** September 15, 2013, 12:03:34 AM »

IN Stage 6B - Kaguya's non-spellcard attacks, that Moon is like "look at me, I am so glamorous!"

Ibaraki · « **Reply #8 on:** September 15, 2013, 01:50:19 AM »

PCB Stage 6.
Both the BGM and background complement each other. Yuyuko's presence in the end adds more to the value.

Star King · « **Reply #9 on:** September 15, 2013, 03:01:40 AM »

MoF Stage 4 really impressed me when I first saw it. Yuuka's PoFV stage as well.

GIANT MOKOU FACE is pretty funny

nicholashin · « **Reply #10 on:** September 15, 2013, 05:27:54 AM »

MoF's ones are good as well as DDC's ones.
Let me think....DDC Stage 4, Stage 5 and MoF Stage 4.

Darkness1 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 15, 2013, 12:40:42 PM »

I just want to say UFO stage 6.
Everything about it is so grand, beautiful and kind of nostalgic.

MaStErSpArK94 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15, 2013, 12:55:46 PM »

MoF Stage 4 and SA Stage 3.

Mach131 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2013, 01:54:54 PM »

I like PCB stage 6, MOF 4, and DDC 5.

If fighting games count, Tenshi's last spell background in SWR is cool too

ElDestructoe · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2013, 02:43:18 PM »

MoF stage 4. Also the menu background (not the title screen), Minoriko's spells, stage 2, stage 3, Aya's nonspells, stage 5 and Kanako's nonspells.

I don't know any backgrounds from any other games.

TresserT · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2013, 03:23:05 PM »

EoSD stage 6 is awesome, how the moon gets bigger and more red as the fight goes on. There's also PCB stage 6, IN stage 3, UFO stage 5, and Ten Desires stage 1. Also, if it counts, The Last Comer stage 4 is beautiful.

chum · « **Reply #16 on:** September 15, 2013, 03:40:11 PM »

Perfect Cherry Blossom has some wicked spellcard BGs.

Ri-ze · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2013, 08:46:39 PM »

Mountain of Faith has beautiful stage backgrounds, but stage 3 of it is my favorite. The fall colors work so well together,
and the water and rocks are just beautiful!

Zengeku · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2013, 09:32:39 PM »

I don't like Touhou backgrounds too much. At least the stage backdrops I think are rather lazily done most of the time, though occasionally they look decent.
I personally prefer Arcade shmup backgrounds more as they actually look like real areas and in things like Cave games they are quite detailed. In Touhou though, I think I'll have to go with Mountain of Faith because I think Stage 3 is pretty. Rest of the stages have decently pretty backgrounds to them as well.

Dunno what it is really but there's just something to MoF's backgrounds that makes them stand out compared to the rest of the series.

Zil · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2013, 01:33:31 AM »

I'll say MS and LLS Extra stages.

Formless God · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2013, 08:57:32 AM »

Stage: UFO 4, IN/DDC final.
Spell: Three fairies.

I like my backgrounds with low brightness and details so that they don't blend into a clusterfuck with the foreground elements, but not so low so that I still have something to look at on the off chance I actually take my eyes off the collidable objects and the score.

I think MoF more than the other games creates a living ambiance that actually gives me a feeling of going up a mountain during harvest.

Stage 6 of IN ,4 of SA and the bamboo forest

Mach131 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 17, 2013, 06:56:16 PM »

Is it alright if I ask a new question, since its been three days? If not, just ignore this

What is your favorite double/triple team boss fight?
I'm terrible at fighting them, but I'd probably say the three fairies. Kokoro's final boss fight is cool, too.

MewMewHeart · « **Reply #24 on:** September 17, 2013, 06:59:46 PM »

I loved Kokoro's final fight especially when I can scream. "IT'S A REHASH ROYAL CHAOTIC CLAN DANCE!!!!" It's like a good kind of panic, except for when you have to deal with a few spellcards.

(However: I hate Seiga and Yoshika's fight "WALLS WALLS WALLS" everywhere.)

Byronyello · « **Reply #25 on:** September 17, 2013, 07:13:12 PM »

Extra midboss Benben and Recliner. Joururi world is actually so difficult it's unbelievable. Loads of fun, though, for sure.

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #26 on:** September 17, 2013, 07:17:50 PM »

The Prismrivers.

Space Flower · « **Reply #27 on:** September 17, 2013, 07:20:37 PM »

Four of a Kind, because Flandre. I also like cameo spellcards like the Shikigami Signs and Seiga/Futo card.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #28 on:** September 17, 2013, 07:23:31 PM »

Eirin and Kaguya during "Hourai Elixir". Just because it's a masochistic kind of fun that pushes me to become better.

Darkness1 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 17, 2013, 07:41:42 PM »

Yuki and Mai.

Just to be different, you know.

(It's kind of fun though, and I absolutely love Forbidden Magic.)
