  1. Thats the easiest lunatic stage I've ever seen.
  2. Go for the items! Hold Shift to activate super gravity item pull!
  3. Go for the souls D: They increase your point value and gives you longer invincibility after getting hit.

  
  
  Mind you I'm half asleep doing it.
  
  I need sleep....

  Man. I keep getting murdered on her last spell. I died and had her beat and when the death thing was over she was beaten but it was my last life and I was like FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
  
  I don't want to upload something that isn't winning >.>
  
  I'll try later when my heart isn't racing as much and I'm not as agitated.

  After a quick breather I tried it again and managed to clear it. Stage 2 though...ya after stage 1 I didn't last long in Stage 2. Not that I expected anything else seeing that clearing Stage 1 Lunatic is usually an amazing feat for me.
  
  Processing the video. Will have it up in a hour.

  There's something about the translated prologue that I find... interesting:
  
  (From http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Ten_Desires/Translation/Prologue)
  - The divine spirits seemed to be looking for someone to accept them. Within the cemetery, dark and smell stench of earth, the faint light illuminates the area, but is absorbed quickly into the darkness, and cannot reveal the whole story to light.
  At that place, the divine spirits understood. Each one's desire like earning their lots of points, not wanting to get in pain like getting hit by a bullet, or even wanting to use the spell card, such small desires are granted only in the world of fantasy and illusions. This kind of greed naturally does not come without one's own effort, not without one's price to pay.
  But for one stream of hope of enlightenment, the divine spirits march towards the darkness with all their heart and soul. And then, returns to nothingness, without knowing the reason of their own birth.
  They disappear just like that, without even knowing that there is a someone who cannot help but smile while observing it whole.
  As her resurrection drew near, her grin grew deeper - and vowed for her vengeance.
  
  Hmm... what particular "character", involves "resurrection" and "vengeance"?

  Nobody knows. The answer will be answered in due time :smoke:
  
  Someone is controlling the Zombies that much we know.
  
  Unless you are thinking Mima.

  Whats TouHou

  Whats TouHou

  
  
  The Touhou Project (東方Project) is a series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made by Team Shanghai Alice, with three fighting game spinoffs co-produced with Tasogare Frontier. They are similar to regular shooting games, but focus more on weaving through complex patterns containing anywhere from dozens to hundreds of bullets. Every game in the Touhou series is set in the fantasy land of Gensokyo, and the series is known for its huge cast of characters, well-developed storylines, and related materials such as music CDs, fan-made comics and animated videos made to the music.

  i usually laugh at all the theories about Mima that pop up with every new game but this makes me think about her immediately. A game about desires and spirits, and the most desired evil spirit in touhou.
  
  wonder if zun slipped something in one of the previous games that gives away his idea like he's done before
• Cucurbita wrote on 2011-04-16 19:14
  Zun probably trolled us again.

  probably so, if thats the case then watching the "no mima this time" rage will be entertaining
• Roy Mustang wrote on 2011-04-16 19:23
  I wouldn't be surprised either if it's some new character. Doesn't ZUN always use a new boss for each touhou game he makes anyways?
  
  As much as I like the idea of Mima, I personally think ZUN is going to give us a new character to keep things fresh.
• ZazieTheBeast wrote on 2011-04-16 19:52
  this games also confuses me on how chars are organized strength wise. yuyuko a first stage boss, kogasa appearing as a 2nd stage boss, 3rd stage mid boss, and an extra stage mid boss who has trouble beating a 3rd stage boss.
