Topic	Do you have any opinions on the Touhou games?

And yeah, there was a massive purge of Touhou cover channels due to a copyright abuser some time during 2019-2021 but I wasn't following it at the time. Ah. I thought I was seeing an unusual amount of videos with reupload in the description. dBu was pretty good. Consistent/reliable are about what I'd call them too, almost every song gets a cover, nothing about the arrangement gets too crazy. I really liked Iron Attack/Crow's Claw. Demetori was heavier than both but the way they'd rearrange songs was kind of hit or miss for me. There's some good Eurobeat too. GiftedACIII posted... Yeah, I think it started with PCB TH7 and lasted all the way to 15. Honestly, maybe it's because the first time I played TH (EoSD) I used Marisa, but I've always been partial to the straightforward shot types since the homing bullets are usually visibly weaker and can home into enemies/objects you don't want them to home into. Sakuya A in DDC is a noticeable exception. That really didn't come up much, the only time I'd really want to target something very specific is in 12 where you're trying to destroy a UFO quickly while a bunch of other stuff's on screen because you're counting on the screen wipe when it explodes to buy you some space. The Reimu-Suika shot in 11 kind of had this covered. They generally always go forward and the homing can only drive them partially to the left or right. I'm still never gonna complain about the homing shots being able to go sideways or backwards when an extra stage is flooding the screen with weak enemies though. GiftedACIII posted... lol yeah she's cool but I just find her a little bratty. Apparently her route is the final canon route so she gets away with everything and beats everyone up. I don't know what to think of Touhou games having canon routes. I'm a fan of the ZUN watching from a distance through a pair of binoculars going "I'm not entirely sure what's happening." approach. GiftedACIII posted... Now that you mention it, stage 5 themes in general seem to be like this barring a few exceptions. TH15, 16 and 17 all tend to have much better and received stage themes than their respective boss themes. You can tell that more effort is put into the stage 5 themes too due to how long they are compared to the other tracks. Hmm, let's see. EOSD Stage 5 > Boss 5 PCB Stage 5 > Boss 5 IN Stage 5 > Boss 5 MOF Stage 5 << Boss 5 SA Stage 5 > Boss 5 UFO could go either way. TD can't remember either DDC Stage 5 < Boss 5 Huh. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:977295981] in Do you hav...
