Shit, I completely forgot to post on this.

Well suck my necrobump.

Most of these spellcards are extremely difficult (even for lunatic) just because of the random values you use. The waves are spawned so thick at random that they can easily wall you half the time. This is a general issue with the whole script, pretty much everything you spawn randomly has this problem (save for really small bullets).

As for spellcards, I personally love them. Very creative and very different. Really, the only problem I have with them is of course the random values, especially with such large bullets. Earthquake "Hypocentre - Epicentre" is impossible no matter how you look at it... Electrically charged fishsticks also walls you well enough to be considered impossible. Concerto of the Earth Fish would be perfect if you didn't spawn those random red lasers, which wall you. Flower of Flashing Lights would be awesome if you used another bullet sprite for the blue bullets, right now it has a massive hitbox compared to what you can actually see of the bullet, otherwise it's a really good card. Giant Flying Catfish could probably be toned down, though compared to the rest of the cards it's no priority. Biggest Rock in the World is pretty good as well, save for when I need to get close to the wall to dodge around the giant rock, then it's all luck (hope bullets don't get spawned close to me!). High-Voltage Fishing Net is perfect. Apprentace Spark could use a a speed decrease on the laser, it's practically impossible without Marisa's speed. The walling lasers towards the end don't really help this, though.

And that's about it. Try to be a bit more careful when using large bullets and lasers, since implimenting random values with them can lead to undesirable results (walling). I do enjoy playing this script, even though it is beyond my tier of lunatic difficulty. Let's see some more from you in the near future!

...so I did overkill it. I suspected as much, but estimating the difficulty of a lunatic script is quite hard when you can barely 1cc ordinary touhou on normal.

Thanks for the advice on randomly spawned large bullets. I'll try to avoid that in the future, altough it seems to be a nasty habit of mine. I don't think I'll get around fixing the script anytime soon, though, since I'm already working on a new script, and while bullet size isn't a problem in that one, balancing it is a pain due to the mechanics I'm using in it. Expect some downright crazy gimmicks once I get it done and added to this thread (altough it might take a while, seeing as it needs a lot more coding and balance tweaking than the fish).
