Imperishable Playthrough: Marisa Kirisame (IN Stage 4 Lunatic)

[ThePerson337]

To be honest, IN has to be the only game in the series whose fourth bosses are harder than the last or extras.

[KageTheAwesome]

Can someone tell me how to continue in IN? Occasionally I'll need to take a break from playing, so I just shut out or quit, but then I have to start over. Can someone tell me how to continue from the stage I was on?

[raak1010]

@KageTheAwesome

Considering the game is only 6 stages long, there's no save feature beyond pausing the game.

[a0001521]

you're doing good, i can't even beat this stage in normal

[Ryoglaceon]

I love MARISA!!!!!!

[VocaloidUTAUFan45]

In Stardust Revere, you can just go with BIG gaps. And move with it. It's fun though.

[gamerseye171]

@MrLEDLamp Good for you. I don't want any LED lights. Thanks anyway. Happy New Year to you too! :)

[rando168]

love coloured master spark, the one song that started it all with my massive obsession with Touhou. What memories <3

[nokion]

My God It's Full Of stars

[OrangeofPurple]

Deadeye: I've heard that love is the most powerful force in the universe, I'm trying to harness it to create weapons of mass destruction.

Marisa beat you the punch, there.

No, Deadeye has nothing to do with Touhou.

[IloveVocaloidXD]

lol for me is easier to kill marisa then reimu, cuz i like to use marisa and teh ying yang orbs kill me e.e

[BakaofLulz]

i find, when i play as a human charecter, reimu harder.

damn... ying-yang orbs! o.e

[OrangeofPurple]

SEIZURE TIME

[arcengal]

@Jurihan1 Shou.

[Samanthak76543]

There's a reason why her stage is 4b POWERFUL.

[TugrulCanSUMEN]

No matter which Touhou game is it, Marisa is always a pain in the a** !

[xxFrozenintime]

Marisa is insanely difficult. Why is she a Stage FOUR boss? I can never get past her.

[raak1010]

@Jurihan1

In that case you haven't played much of Touhou, have you?

[Jurihan1]

@raak1010 I've 1cc'd all games on normal and my favorite touhous on hard, done most of the extra stages, and I'm attempting to beat this game on lunatic. Sakuya and maybe Rin come close to her in difficulty for me.

[raak1010]

@Jurihan1

Your oddness knows no bounds =/

[TheTHKwolf]

Question... I play Sakuya/Remi in IN, and i always face Reimu in stage 4... How do you get to face Marisa with them? ;_; Does it have something to do with the difficulty? Never got that far on Lunatic...

[raak1010]

@TheTHKwolf

You can pay against the other character in Practice.

[gamerseye171]

@raak1010 I've seen the term IMO a lot in your videos, but I'm not sure what it means.

[raak1010]

@gamerseye171

IMO = In My Opinion. Is an insurance I won't get bludgeoned by "you are objectively wrong" commentaries =v

[koolbowser961]

1:54 - 2:12 but what if that spell isn't as over 90- I mean overwhelming?

what is the stars have small hit boxes?

[raak1010]

@koolbowser961

A) The stars have pretty big hitboxes

B) What makes it overwhelming are the smaller stars going sideway.

[PatrickT22]

Damn it Marisa, is your attack on Sakuya and Remilia, or on us, because that is ROASTING my corneas...

[SuperSpicyPineapple]

I hate Fighting Marisa and Reimu both xD There both a pain in the ass

[chelseafcrocks82]

Might I ask which recording system you used to record it? Hypercam sucks =D

[raak1010]

@chelseafcrocks82

Fraps

[chelseafcrocks82]

@raak1010 SANGE KYUUU!!! <3

[ramisama88]

im not saying that this is fake but in my lunatic version - once you kill the small fries they explode sending you fast arrows which cant be dodged but to anticipate their location and moving before they explode which i didnt see happen to you at all =/ maybe its touhou 9 mind you playing all these touhou games messes up the brains especiall when you jump from easy to lunatic

[raak1010]

@ramisama88

The only game that sounds remotely like that is Fairy Wars (Touhou 12.8), and i that case said arrows are aimed at you and don't explode.

[DeslikKarcasso]

WHAT! HOW DARES YOU DEFEAT LOVE! THE POWER OF LOVE CAN DEFEAT ALL EVIL!!!!!!!

[raak1010]

@DeslikKarcasso

Unfortunately, for love, I'm not evil... mostly.

[cskman85]

GREAT! you did it! NOW STOP PLAYING EASY MODE AND PLAY NORMAL AGAINST HER!

[marshallzzz]

Fun fact: one of the league of legend heroes is based on marisa (lux).

Awesome spells and lasers ^^

[JetAurion]

Just read the description and you mentioned Flandre's too young...

unless you were talking about her looks.

[raak1010]

@JetAurion

Looks indeed.

[tjfosk]

@raak1010 3:50 FUCK YES!

Why did i have a feeling you'd put dBu - Magus Night there? =D

Is just so good.

[futsalfred2]

I prefer it when you keep the original audio.

[raak1010]

@futsalfred2

Even after you said I got you into Touhou in the Mokou video :(

But yeah, I'm sorry you feel that way, but that's not going to happen in my Lunatic playthrough. One of the main attraction of Touhou is the music, sure. But that's precisely the reason there are so many arranges of them and beside the play and my thoughts, I also want to share some of my favorite songs. Beside, if you want to listen to the in-game music, there are many other vids for that =v

[futsalfred2]

@raak1010 Yeah

Well at least you insert the music tastefully i.e include the game sound effects, and choose a song which matches the characters.

[raak1010]

@futsalfred2

All three songs are Marisa Kirisame's themes. Her themes in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Imperishable Night, and Seihou, in that order of appearance. And I gave my reasoning for using those three. It cannot match the character more than that. ಠ_ಠ

As for the SFX: I give you that, they are hard to hear. They are there, although like I specified in other videos, the music sometimes drown them. I need to standardize how I deal with music to solve that =/

[Xidphel]

@_@ Bullets...

EVERYWHERE...

[davidking4400]

Marisa on lunatic = TASTE TEH RAINBOW MOTHERFUCKER-ZE!

[Jennathehedgehog18]

Maybe the Master Spark represents how love is a dual-edged sword. When used correctly love can be the best thing you've experienced, but if used incorrectly, you get a pain that feels like it tear the earth apart. (Or in this case, blast you with a blinding light.)

[wisefelipe]

@Jennathehedgehog18

I think you guys theorize too much on it, Marisa stole the Master Spark, thought she needed to add something to the name to make it hers, so she added Love-colored because she thought it was kawaai.

The End

[atomicbumblelamb]

..teehee, Double Spark makes me think of Yuuka's original Dual Spark..

..Except Marisa doesn't split off into two people ):

[Jennathehedgehog18]

Hey Raak1010 have you ever played a hell bullet game called "Castle of Skikigami"?

[raak1010]

@Jennathehedgehog18

Nope

[bobguy1337]

Watching this made me unbearably hungry for Chicken-and-Stars soup at 12:00 AM. Just sayin' >.>

[AgentAsteriski]

This is why I don't play Touhou... I get too distracted by the pretty patterns.

[SnakeLadyOfDOOM]

I love touhou's danmaku patterns. It's eyecandy. :3

[UncleTickTockFinger]

Doesn't this team usually fight Reimu?

[UncleTickTockFinger]

@UncleTickTockFinger

Oh never mind, I see the blank score and max lives.

[raak1010]

@UncleTickTockFinger

Why, yes, yes it does.

[alasanof]

"If you're careful the main reason you'll die is because stars will materialize inside you."

I think that sums up Marisa.

[stolaike]

MARISA :D

My favourite character in Touhou !! :D

MASTER SPARK FTW !!!

[fabiosacchirodrigues]

OK, so In my OC's story, the emotion of "love" represents the element of "light"...

But master spark takes that into the "Beyond the ridiculous" level...

[xPkThunder71x]

uhmmm quick question... how does a giant deadly, blinding, bright, screen-shaking laser of pure pain and hell represent the power of love?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?­!?

[raak1010]

@xPkThunder71x

Love is like a giant destructive force that consumes the pain and suffering of a thousand pained children and condense it into a deadly beam of magic?

[alphamone]

@raak1010

or, like black mage from 8-bit theater, it consumes love that exists in the world. >.> <.<

[KabutoOfTheSound6]

@raak1010 "they say love is the most powerful force in the entire universe.... I'm trying to harness it to make weapons of mass destruction!"

[antizexen6]

@xPkThunder71x well they have said that love hurts

[FissileDragon]

@xPkThunder71x >implying that Love Sign - Master Spark's ability to utterly break physical objects isn't allegorical to love's ability to do the same on a spiritual and emotional level

[TARDISES]

@xPkThunder71x

How should I know?

You'd be better off asking Marisa herself (or if you feel confident in your safety Black Mage Evilwizardington, who has something similar.)

[b09h]

reimu and marisa are overated, there so many better characters in touhou

[raak1010]

@b09h

They're not overrated. They get a pretty standard amount of attention considering they are the heroines and main characters. Flan is overrated. Cirno is overrated a lot more (I love them both nonetheless). Many other characters who are not main are overrated.

Reimu and Marisa not really. In fact, Touhou would be overrated if they were.

[worldsgreatestactor]

Maybe I'm just insane, but this doesn't look THAT much harder than normal mode (well, the regular stage does...) Personally I fear Reimu more. Regardless, you are a legend. Didn't die even once!

[raak1010]

@worldsgreatestactor

Wait, I didn't died?

Uh... I didn't noticed that...

[worldsgreatestactor]

@raak1010

Oh, I didn't think so... maybe you did, but as well as you play it doesn't matter now does it? :D

[JosephinetheHedgehog]

Epic, Marisa is Epic.

[chipmunkboyx]

@chipmunkboyx It says 3600/8000, what does that mean? o.o

[raak1010]

@chipmunkboyx

It means you still have 4400 time orbs to go -_-

Go read the wiki at the end of the description to learn how that mechanic works.

[chipmunkboyx]

@raak1010 Ahh okay thanks! In other words...get better? >:O

[raak1010]

@chipmunkboyx

Not necessarily. If you can play Lunatic and get far without continues, I would say more than play better, play smart. Play to collect time orbs, not to simply beat the stage.

[chipmunkboyx]

How do you play the last spell? When I play I there's no last spell card. Please tell D:

[raak1010]

@chipmunkboyx

There are two requirements:

1) You must play Normal or higher.

2) You must reach the Time orbs limit by the time the stage ends. Is that counter that starts as 0/xxxx at the side.

[chipmunkboyx]

@raak1010 I didddd~ D: I was playing Lunatic but the stage just ends after Shoot the Moon TwT

[raak1010]

@chipmunkboyx

Are you absolutely sure you fulfilled the second requirement? Other than that, no idea.

[Shadowelf93]

I don't really like the Scarlet team. Remilia's secondary beams are like a stationary turret, so that's helpful, but they're kinda spread out and don't deal a lot of damage.

[raak1010]

@Shadowelf93

With each their preference. Just don't tell me to outright use another team, like other people. Specially if the reason is a really shitty one like "Sakuya is weaker than Youmu"

[Iwannaplayssbb]

wow.......this makes shoopdawoop look like a startreck lazer gun shot

[drayeleth]

cool..that's weird though..i only have to battle reimu.........

[siriuslyawesome]

Uh, how did you end up with Marisa as a boss with the Scarlet Devil team?

[raak1010]

i dunno, lol

But seriously, when I went to practice mode, I found that Marisa was unlocked for them. I suppose that if you beat Reimu, Marisa is automatically unlocked for them and viceversa if you're either Border or Netherworld.

[KitsuneDzelda]

My comment at the end was and I quote "OOOOO THATS GONNA HURT!"

It looks like Remilia will need a few months recovering from that one.

[assura17]

OMG the end was epic D: (the music fit it very well)

[hernan6000]

マリサは難しいが、しかし、私霊夢最悪だと思う。

[raak1010]

A three month space between replies? Ok...

My japanese is a little shaky, and by shaky I mean nonexistent, but I believe my reply to that is:

Proofs that for tastes, colors exist (lol play of words). I find Marisa harder since I have problems with high density of random bullets =v

[ScarletFlameFlandre]

if i think to myself, this game cant be hard. cause your on lunatic mode, and it kinda reminds me of EoSD normal mode XD

[hernan6000]

good really good , i love marisa ,btw

where can i get this song

Artist: Ezel-Ash

Album: touhou saiko? (Not sure, Ezel-Ash is such a mystery)

Original song: Love-coloured Master Spark

from marisa, i cant find it anywhere, can you send me pls?

[Teranewone]

You know, your commentary made this one of the more interesting playthroughs to watch. =) and damned if I could ever pull that off, I still think I'm doing good clearing the game on normal without continues.

[Twila27]

I love how you always put a spin on introducing ZUN. XD

*Goes to read that doujin.* I haven't been able to find many of them that take place in SA. DX

[Twila27]

I would like to take a moment to tell anyone wanting to read that doujin mentioned in the description to go find "384403" on the Touhou Wiki.

Just saying this so people don't end up starting and running away from Dichromatic Butterfly by accident like I did. DX

[raak1010]

XD

In retrospect, I should had mentioned the exact doujin to save you the trouble, though you would had stumbled with Dichromatic Butterfly anyways if you're like me. I'm glad I didn't bothered, the reaction was worth it.

You know, I had to re-download DB to refresh my memory. For some reason I deleted it despite not being "that bad". I love Marisa's little donation box experiment. ^_^

But I guess I need to put a warning.

NSFW people D=<

[Twila27]

=.=;; Well, if nothing else, that was the first doujin like that I've ever read, and credit be due you for that.

Although Komainu Reimu was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. X3

[NemisisGanda]

the music is sick dude^^
