Well then, the second and last Extra character (although you do unlock Extra Mode for all other characters), the Yama herself, Shikieiki!

Unlike Komachi's her transforming field remains in place and simply blocks all the spirits that get close to you, which makes her easier to use.

The first opponent, Mystia can trap you quite easily if you try to escape from the wrong angle when she uses her spells. Should she charge up for level 4, the screen can become crowded rather easily, so have some spells ready.


For Cirno the strategy is the same as before. Play it safe and cool and watch out for the icicles from above.
Lyrica can really confuse you thanks to the weird movement patterns of her bullet streams. Don't let them confuse you and watch out.

Reisen can still make for some rather inconvenient surprises. Eliminate her level 3 spells if you have trouble or cannot afford to look too closely due to too much bullet density around you.

The same goes for Marisa, who will probably trap you more than once. Clear her level 2 and 3 spells with your own spell if necessary.

Aya also puts up one hell of a fight. She's by far the most trouble if she goes for her level 4 spell, so try to take her out asap. A dangerous combination would be any of her other spells followed by the one during which she shoots streams of three bullets in all directions. Due to the high-speed of these, it is very easy for you to get hit if you're focusing on dodging something else, see the way I got hit here.

Komachi is not exactly lenient either. Most of her patterns aren't too difficult to move through, it's the sheer amount of bullets you have to dodge that will be troublesome.

As for Reimu, she's one of the most fearsome characters you could put into a final round. The small gaps between her bullet patterns, her yin-yang orbs as well as her directional attacks make for many intense situations. Slight screw-ups will be rather costly.
Dying here so often really bugged me, especially because I died so quickly the third time, but at least it wasn't too close.

Anyway, all an in all the run turned out to be rather satisfying since most of my opponents played along quite nicely, allowing me to gain a lot of points and thus, many lives.

With that, my last project is right before me - only the PoFV Hard Mode left before I can get started on Lunatic.
