Perfect Cherry Blossom (Touhou 7) Stage 4 boss - Prismriver Sisters

[0ctopusComp1etely]

I both love and hate the Prismriver fight. Depending on which sister I'm fighting by player character choice or damage distribution, it can either be a fairly fun and enjoyable fight or a terrible showcase of me failing. Oh, well. At least I'm actually good at the spells where all 3 sisters are together.

[Spartanrme]

@0ctopusComp1etely Agreed. I find the Prisimriver sister I fight in this video is the easiest. I can't stand the one in white cloths with her curvy laser (can't remember names right now).

[0ctopusComp1etely]

@Spartanrme That's ironic, because I do best against Merlin (white clothes), and worst against Lyrica (red clothes, whom you chose to fight). I do poorly against curvy lasers, but I do far worse against criss-cross bullet patterns and precision-dodges. That defect also makes Youmu's non-spells eat my lives like their cookies pulled right out of the oven. When in doubt: bomb like hell, indeed.

[Debachi]

If they're polergaiest then they may be in fact alive. I say this because it's considered a psychokinetic occurance caused by someone's stress be they living or dead. Just throwing worthless tivia at everyone!

[Bluemanic67]

I cant get past the last part! FKING REINCARNATION!

[HadestheBeast1]

Why the fuck is Fazioli Dark preformance, a shitton harder on normal then in either Hard or Lunatic? I even gave myself the least amount of dodging space reacenty and it was still easier than crap.

[shadowkiller0071]

the farthest iv got in game so far is the prismriver sisters last spell card.....

[Spartanrme]

@shadowkiller0071 Keep practicing, you'll get farther. :)

[drayeleth]

wow...how do u have so much life? the max i can make mine is 6 i think...

Oh, and i can never beat them..by the time i get there, i only have 1 life..which ends quickly

[Spartanrme]

@drayeleth

Practice mode. Don't worry, keep practicing each stage one at a time, until you know the bullet patterns. Eventually you'll be able to beat them and go onto the next stage.

[watafug]

damn i usually use marisa so there's no way i'm going to be able to use so many bombs.

[Spartanrme]

@watafug Marisa's bombs (esp. her Master Spark) are more powerful then any of the other characters however :D

[watafug]

@Spartanrme but she only gets two and I never use them because i'm always trying to get the spell card capture bonus

[Spartanrme]

@watafug The only reason I use a lot of bombs is purely to prevent dying. Plus it really stinks when you have quite a lot of bombs at your disposal but end up dying and losing them.

[Holeyhell]

I found that Merlin was much more difficult than Lyrica (I got to fight her first when playing as Marisa).I lost like 3-4 less lives there against Lyrica first...but yes they are a pain

[Spartanrme]

If Merlin didn't have those spirits attacking you, it would be much easier <.<

[colonel24567]

ugh i hate these three, they're such a pain, i also end down to 4 lives after getting max, by the way how did you get so many lives with like no point blocks?

[Spartanrme]

I did this in Practice mode, which gives you max lives/bombs in the beginning of the stage. It's perfect for getting down the patterns. And I agree, these trio of bosses are a pain.

[colonel24567]

ah i see, i never really played practice, i played practice on scarlet devil and your only given three so i was a little confused.

[Spartanrme]

I know. Thankfully ZUN changed that after EoSD and gave you full lives. You should give practice a try.

[bananawing7]

one thing to say.....AUSTRALIA

[Spartanrme]

@bananawing7: The Prismriver sisters are Italian....
