"Will you play with me?"
Stage Theme - The Centennial Festival for Magic Girls (Notzan ACT)
Boss Theme - Grip and Breakdown!! (SOUND HOLIC)
Part 1 of 2
I find it really weird that I can beat Flandre with Marisa, but not Reimu. ):
In any case, I'm very happy with this run overall. This was the first EX Stage I cleared, and to date, is still the hardest thing I've done in Touhou. Some of Flandre's cards exceed even those of Yukari. Most EX bosses can be beaten with pure memorization; Flandre's attacks are so much more randomized, beating her requires much more skill than any boss in the series, IMO.
Oh and I stole the bullet-cancelling technique at 0:50 from Kefit because it is a brilliant move and I love it :D
Midboss - Patchouli Knowledge (パチュリー・ノーレッジ)
Patchy's back, and much stronger than before. Apparently she was too sick to put up an actual fight before.
BULLSHIT.
Moon Sign [Silent Sign]
月符「サイレントセレナ」
This card is beyond ridiculous. The positioning of the turquoise bullet streams is dependent on Patchy's position, and the blue bullets just seem to appear randomly. Doing this with Marisa is about a billion times harder than with Reimu, but much more satisfying to capture~
Sun Sign [Royal Flare]
日符「ロイヤルフレア」
This has got to be the most confusing card I know of with a preset pattern. With MarisaA, you only have to slip between four bullets before capturing, but I've never beaten this with the other characters without bombing. The world record holder for this game, OOSAKA, supergrazed this card with MarisaB. I have no idea how.
Five Elements Sign [Philosopher's Stone]
火水木金土符「賢者の石」
The five different streams of diamond bullets here all have their own pattern, but because they come from all directions and are all different, it just turns into a giant clusterfuck of random bullets. Not fun at all, my capture-to-bombing-ratio on this card is about 1:5. )=
Stage Boss - Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット)
Oh, Flandre. Staying locked in the basement for 495 years because your sister told you to is...touching, in a sorta weird way. But she's adorable and the hardest EX Boss in the series in my opinion, so let's shoot her down without mercy! :D
Taboo [Cranberry Trap]
禁忌「クランベリートラップ」
This was me experimenting with a new dodging technique, involving getting close to Flandre, then flying away and avoiding all the bullets.
It didn't work, obviously!
I've got the technique down now (moving down instead of up, stupid me |D) but it made sense at the time. ;_;
Taboo [Lävatein]
禁忌「レーヴァテイン」
If I was going for a scorerun, I'd supergraze the hell out of this card. But I didn't, so it just remains a very simple card involving minimal dodging.
Taboo [Four of a Kind]
禁忌「フォーオブアカインド」
This card can either be total hell or a piece of cake. If you get lucky, and the Flandres stop moving, they'll just shoot red flower petal bullets in a pattern that lets you stay in one place and pummel away at the real one.
Did not happen much here.
But overall, it's probably Flandre's second-easiest card, after [Lävatein].
Taboo [Kagome~Kagome]
禁忌「カゴメカゴメ」
"Kagome, kagome, bird in the cage~When will you come out?"
Bird in the cage is correct. The yellow bubble bullet I dodged was total luck, and I had to bomb, but it still went unusually good for me. I hate this card. ):
Part 2 is next!
awesome music btw!

Heh, thanks. If you want, I could send you the songs. ^^
I'm actually working on scorerunnng this stage right now. I've got my score up into the 200-millions right now, but I haven't quite gotten it all down. Once I have, I'll get it up here. :D

I do the thing at 0:50 too. :O
I have yet to beat it, and I play as reimu..

Don't worry about it, Flandre's the hardest EX boss out of all of them, and I'd definitely put her in the top five hardest bosses overall. ):
It took me two months of basically /nothing/ but Flandre to finally beat her with Marisa.
