3:41 So she really DOES shout it.

odd how it's urumi's card that lets you freeze bullets when cirno had a whole game about doing that. eh, i guess cirno gets a disproportionate amount of love when it comes to certain touhou characters anyhow.

RIP Kagerou, Waggysaggy and Sexybanki didn't invite you to the market

... Ah, it's my turn to double comment today, didn't expect to talk about the combo so soon, I thought it was next week... I'm so glad you went over the Urumi + Aunn combo because it's very funny, but I actually had another combo in mind and you saw the other major piece of it - Suwako's explosion card. You see, not many things in this game combo with your shots themselves. You have very few equivalents to something like Binding of Isaac tear effects... Except for this one! Combine it with stacking as much of Ringo Dango Power as you can, it's easily your highest DPS without actives. It's really fun to watch yourself melt healthbars and mow down enemies

I've been playing again recently from a fresh file after you started trying to get all the cards again. I remembered how awful the RNG hell is. I'm very glad you are electing to do that as little as possible and just making sure to at least fight every boss once. Junko's card is a damn near requirement

i absolutely love the flavor text of the cards in this game.

0:17 Glad to finally know what it's called.

Aaaaah, I really loved this game.

Ayo, don't disrespect my man Mr. Hat like that!

17:15 Had the chance to own all the 3 light fairies at once for the memes. but no. You just had to be smart and rational with your choices. Tragic. (Then again, since you'd be running around dodging Banki's head, the full circle of fairy bullets might actually have accomplished something for the first time ever)

Once you're done with a first run of the game, going back and clearing each stage with the "force difficulty to overdrive" card would be fun

first~ ive always wanted to do that haha. its finally cirno's time..

A balanced game Just like every roguelike I've ever played

I'm sorry ZUN, but "Wheel Ghosts" is like the Twitter rebrand to X but in Touhou. I know "yinyangs" was just a fan name, but no one is calling those "Wheel Ghosts". Just like how Pokemon is now calling starters "First Partner Pokemon", please stop, don't fix what ain't broken. They're stupid names. Yeah, Chief Fairy and Big Fairy waves are very good for racking up Bullet Money, with their dense patterns. On higher wave difficulties it's even better, since they're denser, and fire faster, so you can get more waves in one magic circle use. Also I swear, I did say it feels like the 4th boss only shows up after you've defeated the previous three, but Sekibanki is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen her twice in my entire time of playing this game. Anyway, before going into notable cards, well, we already talking about the Triple Aunn + Urumi combo, huh? I like to think I was the one that made that combination popular, being that I made a video on that combination Day 1 which got a lot of traction. If anyone's spreading the word on how easy that makes the game, it's funny that it was me. Combined with the Miracle Mallet card, as mentioned, and grinding Funds is never a problem anymore. I actually 100%ed this game in 8 hours as soon as I got my hands on it. So let's talk about more notable cards that were seen but not gone over, and that aren't Drenched Giant Snake. Bursting Red Frog - Strict DPS upgrade. Pretty good. Princess Kaguya's Secret Stash - More Bullet Money from using the circle? Fine by me! Remember that Bullet Money at the end of a market run gets converted to Funds too, at a ratio of about 5 to 1. Sheep You Want To Count - Pick this up ASAP. What it does is end the market run entirely and give you a card, though you can only buy it in Black Markets, but I don't think they'll show up there until you get it at the end of a stage. And then obviously buy it in the real markets for a discount. The downsides of this are that unless you have a card from the end of the game, the card you get from using this to end the run is completely random, and without said endgame card, it can be a duplicate. And also the fact that it'll never be a card belonging to the boss, since, well, you never faced the boss that run.

On second view, this game has a fair number of nice little details and character tidbits scattered throughout ~ It's just a shame that the game feels rather repetitive, in comparison to the other "stage" games of Touhou (like the photo games).
