yep I see this being bitched about too much so I'mma give in and address it
UFO has so much more luckshit than EOSD.
No
UFO has
Kogasa, Stage 2 second half can be, Stage 3 random wallshit, Ichirin, Murasa's last spellcard before the survival occasionally cheapshots you too, Stage 5 second half, Shou, Byakuren first spell and some nonspells.
In order:
Kogasa has "
PSM", her one inordinately hard spell which yes, is out of place. All of her other spells are fine. Trains may require some practice.
Stage 2 end is just streaming. Dodge the pink bullets. Spawn a UFO to delete them if you don't want to dodge them.
Stage 3 end can be done by moving clockwise in a circle around the screen. The rest of the stage is fine.
There is nothing wrong with Ichirin?
"Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship" will wall you if you backed yourself in a corner by not steering the
aimed anchors away from you. It's passable consistantly.
Stage 5 second half is only luckshit if you're incapable of monitoring bullets at that speed. Much like the second half of stage 4. It's not nearly as bad as some EoSD random number garbage.
There is nothing wrong with Shou. Welcome to the stage 5 boss.
Byakuren's first spell can be passed consistantly if you're capable of switching between the "paths" if you think you're about to get walled. Yes, it can sometimes be easy, but it's mostly very hard. Byakuren is the hardest Touhou boss.
If we include the Extras, then midboss Kogasa is more luckshit than Patchouli who is pretty much fair. EoSD's stage is so much worse than UFO's.
Midboss EX Kogasa is luckshit now? Since when?
Edit: How the hell could I forget Murasa's second spellcard. That thing is bullshit.
Please dodge more.
Almost all of your complaining about "luckshittiness" can be legitimately countered with "practice more". There are a few odd occasions of "eww that was bad luck", much like anything that isn't completely static. If you don't like the game, that's fine, but it is far from luckshit. Sorry man.
