What are you teleporting for in Nightmare Sunday? I am pretty sure Junko is the only one in the Nightmare Week requiring teleports.

I agree its one of the hardest Nightmare Spells however. Sure sets the mood for something that's sadly not to come.

And while I'm here, guess I'll give my opinion on the game.
This is probably my favorite of the Shoot The Bullet style games, and that's solely on the strength of Wrong Week.
I have forgotten everything that happens in the First Week and have shelved that as simply being a tutorial.
Nightmare Week is a very interesting concept and has some gems in it (Remi/Flan, Everything involving Junko), but overall it felt far too easy.
By saying "Everything involving Junko", it's probably obvious I really love the teleport mechanic. At first it was incredibly hard to get it down but I quickly got the hang of it and started really enjoying it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it aside from it maybe needing some more easy stages that require it before throwing you into the fire.
The two mechanical complaints I have about the game are:
1. that Double KOs happen far too often. Only Nightmare Bosses seem to care about properly cleaning up their bullets when they die and I have died during a boss explosion many many times.
2. the sudden speed change after you fully charge your camera. It's just really hard to react to that and then you shoot off into some bullet you thought you already avoided.

Your video's broke.
I was teleporting in Dream 1, with Remi/Flan, to get into the ring from Flandre's bubble bullets to prepare for Remilia's next wave.

Sorry, had it on private instead of unlisted. Should work now.
The main trick to me seems to delete as much of Flandre's bubbles before they can hit the wall as possible.
N-Forza:
There was a Touhou Station broadcast on Nicovideo last night to commemorate the release. They showed off the game a bit and ZUN mentioned a few interesting tidbits.
It takes him around three hours (interspersed with drinking) to draw a character, but a month or two to fully flesh out their backgrounds.
He thought the Sealing Club fandom was "bothersome" when he heard they were grateful for the new game but didn't want too much backstory on that subset of characters.
He would never want to attend Comiket not as a circle and doesn't seem all that interested in fan works.
The next Foreign Creators magazine will feature not a special CD but a separate booklet with "surprising" contents. He'll reveal more during his next Youtube broadcast on the 29th.

crap I thought it was tonight
