Touhou 13: Ten Desires - Stage 4 Lunatic Perfect

No Bomb, No Death, No Death Trance, All Spell Cards Captured.

Thanks to Drag for recording my replay.
Stage 4 is usually the stage that goes on for about 4 minutes before reaching the boss, but for this game that doesn't seem to be the case.

The first portion of the stage is, once again, fairly simple. If you really don't want any trouble, just take out the fairies before they start flooding the screen with a flurry of bullets and you should be fine. The souls that spawn up there are for scoring purposes I assume but they don't seem to shoot any bullets at all.

Seiga's mid-boss non-spell is a 50/50 for me. Sometimes I can dodge it, sometimes it'll wall me in from all sides. However to make up for it, her mid-boss spell card is really easy once you devise a proper strategy of tricking the balls around.

Post mid-boss is a little hectic if not done carefully. Depending on if you defeat Seiga early, you will have several souls bunch up on the sides and you will be required to stream their bullets if you don't kill them. Aside from that, up next is a little bit of a some quick pattern reading. I like to hang on one side so I can kill the enemies before they can shoot their bullets while dodging the other side.

The first two non-spells for Seiga's boss fight can be quite tricky at first. Sadly, it took me forever to realize that her large blue bullets are, in fact, aimed toward your general vicinity. So try not to be like me my first several times and move wildly around the screen. Just wait until she's done shooting, then move through the gaps.

I would like to mention that I absolutely despise Seiga's second spell card. Yoshika loves trying to be a meat shield for her and if you don't take Seiga down quickly, she'll start firing her knives a lot faster.

As for the music, Desire Drive is pretty much the main theme for Ten Desires but I still love it.
