Sorry, I got sidetracked. End of the year and some games I was really invested in.
I actually randomly caught a glance of a physical Touhou game at the game store the other day. It was surreal. It was a Touhou game on PS4 for 15 golden coins. What an unrepentantly strange future we live in.

Yeah, no worries, I'm the exact same. Physical Touhou games are always funny because they actually get more mainstream attention than the official games which lead some people to think they are the official games when they're fan games. I've been seeing them since 2018 for the Switch.

Not really, Blazblue just gets more bent out of shape as it goes on. It's more like at the end the timeloop ends because the villain gets the outcome he wants and things proceed into the next game

Does he lose in the next game?

That's my issue. It's hard to find a lot of things now. It's go no problem giving you musical arranges with no views that just went up earlier that day but the thing you're actually searching is a whole other matter.
Personally I think I'd go for the skip. It's only after becoming consistent at 1ccs I occasionally try to one-up my high score. Or if it's one of the games that gives lives in exchange for score, couldn't hurt.

You can't find it anymore? Yeah, I always take a quick screenshot or jot down links of any interesting vid with low views I see these days since there's no guarantee I can ever find it again.
Anyway, logically it does make sense to go for skips but I have a drive inside me to try to make myself catch spell cards. I think it helps me improve and I believe it's what they "canonically" do in other media. I'll only go for skips if I really really have trouble with it (like Shou's dumb spinning spell card although I actually attempted to capture that in my final runs).

I can't agree with Nue's theme fitting for a stage 1 boss. It's not a high stakes fight or against someone particularly evil. It's an extra stage which means the fight taking a while is a given.
It's kind of like you came this far, might as well see the fight through. Song doesn't need to go fast because it's no longer a chase. It's just some random area in the sky and a fight against someone who's not really important but decided to show up anyway. I can enjoy that.

A stage one theme to me needs to sound like an adventure starting out small. This one sounds like an adventure winding down after the main threat's over and done with. It's less warming up for the real fights and more stretching and taking a breather.

I honestly think Nazrin has a more energetic and hype inducing theme than Nue lol. Sure, that does make sense on its own but every other prior Extra boss was much more fast-paced and strong. Extra bosses were definitely not meant to be a breather lol. Now that you mention it though, I guess it does fit Nue a bit since she's the easiest Extra boss... well, there's also Mokou and Ran.

(Looks Junko's up on Lunatic real quick) That's rough. Maybe without the purple bullets coming in from the side that'd be a lot more manageable but as is, it looks like it's all quick reflexes.

A Pristine Danmaku Hell is well known for being THE hardest spell card in the series. The best pro players spent months solely dedicated to capturing that one spell card.
