Gengetsu Rape Time :V

HM to QED, Danmaku Bounded Field and Mishaguji-sama.

Seian Verian · « **Reply #151 on:** January 02, 2010, 05:31:05 AM »

Um... Ran's I guess. It's one of only three that I've actually managed to face :V Honestly, nothing really stands out to me.

ebarrett · « **Reply #152 on:** January 02, 2010, 05:34:41 AM »

Alice's.

Danmaku Bounded Field, yeeeah! I think that everything past Th08 doesn't have particularly awesome final EX-boss attacks, and Ex-Alice's final is actually one of her least interesting attacks IMO, I love basically everything else in her fight.

HM to Evil Eye Sigma's last phase for DON'T STOP MOVING OMG WATCH OUT FFFFFF-, and Ran's final card (along with Yukari's nearly identical(?) version). Because standing still while a cloud of bullets flies by is awesome, especially when you have to make your own safespot (and often can't, resulting in "how the eff do I dodge this D:")

Shikigami "Wizard Fox Thoughts"

When everyone reaches this card for the first time, they go WHOAOMGOMG BOMBOMBOMB. And then you figure it out. How easy it is, so easy that you don't even have to look, you can just watch the patterns and listen. And what happens after the card is perfect. Ran drops you a 1-up piece. It's like a welcome. You've passed her first trick and are now worthy- and now let the true battle begin!

HM to:
Shikigami "Banquet of 12 General Gods"
Because I keep giggling at the thought of 'dodge towards the 12th general god in the bottom-right'.

Illusion God "Descent of Izuna Gongen"
For being one of the most popular 'WTF WHY YOU THROW ALL THAT SHIT AT ME FOR' screenshots.

Danmaku Bounded Field never stood out to me much because by the time I actually beat Yukari I had already captured the "upgraded" version in IN.

I'll go with...Subterranean Rose, I guess. I love the Koishi battle in general (my favorite boss fight in the series <3), while none of the other bosses' final cards really stand out to me much. I also have never gotten past Nue's second card, and haven't played any PC-98 Extras beyond MS, where I've gotten past Alice's second phase once.

IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, STAY OUT OF THE COMPUTER ROOM! :dragonforce:

Gengetu Rape Time, easily. If you don't count timeout attacks, Descent of Izuna Gongen. It's a little on the easy side compared to Border of Life and Death, but the concept is something I always wanted to see in a game: An attack that starts out simple, gradually adds on layers, and keeps at it until eventually you're dodging for your life. Have I mentioned Ran is what addicted me to Touhou?

Polaris · « **Reply #158 on:** January 02, 2010, 05:55:51 AM »

Mokou's Imperishable Shooting is probably my favorite because it looks amazing, with Suwako's Mishaguji-sama coming in second for being beautiful, deadly, and simple all at the same time.

Honorable mention to Danmaku Bounded Field, because it's also pretty cool, although I don't like it as much because it's all memorization.

5. Ultimate Buddhist for being one of the few neat things in a post-game run I otherwise have zero interest in going through, as well as being a rare instance of aesthetic beauty via lasers and not bullets.
4. Danmaku Chimera for being probably the cleverest non-gimmick gimmick (if that makes any sense) I've ever seen in an extra stage.
3. Flaw of Forgiving Shrine for being a non-gimmick straight-up dodger that I can actually do. I think it was the first extra card I sight-capped. <3
2. Seven Stones and Seven Trees for the same reasons as Flaw of Forgiving Shrine except it's a bit harder (and thus more thrilling).
1. Pandemonium for being balls-to-the-wall hard for all the right reasons.

Q.E.D. for being incredibly simple in concept (expanding circles of bullets that crisscross yay?) and yet becoming incredibly batshit once Flandre's HP gets low.

Esoterica · « **Reply #164 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:29:57 AM »

Descent of Izuna Gongen. Honestly, most of the final cards are meh to me though.

Just a GBZero · « **Reply #165 on:** January 02, 2010, 10:53:27 AM »

For the favorite attack one, I would have to say Alice's Alt.22B/C, Seeker Wire. Its just too satisfying getting someone stuck in a net of that. Special note for that for using the doll strings. HM to Focus Power "Trip Wire" for also using the same mechanic, and to Patchys Philosopher Stone, just for being awesome.

For the Extra Stage Spellcard question, I would have to say Moukus first one, Limiting Edict "Tsuki no Iwakasa's Curse" if only for being the only card that I cant catch that she has that I still find fun. Disoherable mentions to Hollow Giant "Woo" just because I hate it and cant catch it ever

Sapz · « **Reply #166 on:** January 02, 2010, 12:11:19 PM »

~~EES' suicide laser!~~
Grudge Bow. Maybe I'm biased, but it just seems great all around; the way the lasers get fired upwards into the sky before descending to wreak havoc gives an awesome sense of impending doom, the actual danmaku is gimmick free and relies on pure dodging skill, and the random nature keeps it challenging and exciting for repeat playthroughs without ever screwing you over Peerless Wind God-style. Q.E.D. and Pandemonium come close for similar reasons, but Grudge Bow has the flashiness and is just plain more fun to attempt, so Nue wins this one. :V

Grudge Bow for gimmick-free danmaku dodging goodness. HM to ~~Descent of Izuna Gongen~~ Boundary of Life and Death.

When I posted my answer, Baity's post looked like this:

The phrase "Final Attack" is to cater for PC-98.

I assumed the "Final" in "Final Attack" applied only to the term "Final Attack" given the PC-98 clarification (and thus did not imply "Final Spell Card") and that the question just meant any ol' special bullet pattern in an Extra.

Given the change, my answer of Pandemonium remains the same. I have yet to see another final extra spell card I have enjoyed.

just thought i'd point that out...

Iryan · « **Reply #173 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:59:13 PM »

I'd put Boundary of Life and Death here, but given the conditions, I'll have to go with the slightly less awesome Descent of Izuna Gongen.

Dishonourable Mention to Evil Stare "Self Destruction Laser". (If you don't know, don't ask.)
