Phantasmagoria of Flower View "Ultra" Lunatic 1cc - Mystia

Details

Description

Using the most recent Ultra patch as of the upload date. I'm pretty sure there's only one patch for this game, but I'm mentioning it just to be clear.

So I figured I'd try this out. I've never really bothered with it before since I figured it would just trivialize the game. After having tried it, I can't really say that it's strictly "harder" or "easier." It depends on which character you use and which opponents you face.

So I tried a few characters. Reimu destroyed the game, as expected. Lyrica felt a bit easy as well, thanks to her scope's infinite reach. (I didn't try Komachi but I assumed she'd be easy for the same reason.) I lost with both Mystia and Sakuya, and figured I'd give Mystia some more runs, since Sakuya's a pain. Here's the result I guess. I played kind of poorly in the early rounds, since I was getting lazy. Did well on Medicine, then humiliated myself by letting Yuuka kill me twice. Eiki was a lot of fun, with some ridiculous misdirecting going on. (In an earlier run, I once reached the very top of the screen without using a spell on the way.)

So this is pretty fun, altogether. It doesn't have such a huge affect on difficulty, but it's a fun change from the usual gameplay nonetheless. And considering how most ultra patches are shit on a shingle, this one's actually pretty damn good.
