  2. From the way I see it, if we look at the continue system from a gameplay perspective, then I say that continues serves two purposes within Touhou games: Continues can act as an accessibility feature for new players. Players still congratulate runs done with continues if they felt their run was a fair challenge to them. And perhaps that be the motivation to go for a 1cc. Because if players don't have the motivation to keep practicing on the same game for hours, then they won't finish a run at all regardless if there was continue system in place. STGs and bullet hell games remain to be a niche genre due to their demand of effort these games place on players. Continues can act as a "practice" feature. But in practice, players will use continues to unlock the stage in stage select mode, and spell practice for newer games. Personally speaking, the only time I would have wanted to use continues as a practice feature would be clearing extra stages in Touhou games without spell practice. Of course, that is more of an issue with how older Touhou games lacked better practice features and serves as a reminder on why thprac should be recommended to more players to ease the issue of failing only specific spellcards late into the stage. Otherwise, continues only act as a bandage to the practice system in place for official games. Analyzing the continue system from this perspective it would seem that continue are a bandage to the issue of practice and motivation. In fact, a great example of the continue system being a bandage feature are the Phantasmagoria games. In Phantasmagoria games, continues are unlimited and I believe the reason for that is how the difficulty ramps up much more in later matches compared to earlier matches for the games' story modes combined with how danmaku is far more random in these games. If say, we had to play the earlier stages every time we wanted a shot to beat the final stage of each respective game, I say there be a lot less players completing those story modes since earlier stages fail to give challenges as practice for how to properly manage with the danmaku of later stages. This is an example of a design issue with how the battle system had to be adapted to single-player story mode and how continues act to soften this design issue in the Phantasmagoria games.

  4. Kaburagi.M - Captain Murasa I expected to settle on something heavier, but I came across this artist and wanted to feature something from his available repertoire. The motifs are clear, and the arrangement itself is excellent! I've come to love these rolling jazz style pieces, it's the perfect music to happily go about the daily business to. Mad Tea Party - Rural Makai City Esoteria I'm reminded of another folkish remix from the tournaments, but this one feels more faithful to the source material in the adaptation. Now that I'm going through it all in order, I think 12 has an underappreciated collection of stage themes, or at least there's some impressive arrangement work on them. 130Grit - The Tiger Patterned Vaisravana Initially thought I'd go traditional for this feature, but that wouldn't have contrasted well with the previous piece; then I came across this, and recognized Tangentg as the arranger (he's changed his alias since he was here last). The style of this piece is intriguing; he was always one for surf-rock, but this seems an experimental hybrid of sorts, and it works surprisingly well.

  5. Ken Yanagimoto - Sky Ruin I've not been particularly fond of this piece in the past, but I was surprised by what a difference a few remixes made to my perception. This one in particular completely reinterpreted the tone for me, and as such is an excellent example of what is to be gained from seeking out arrangements sometimes. Sharp Eight - nice middle with bad girl Traditional Old Man & Stylish Girl represents missed opportunity to me; I don't appreciate its intro (it doesn't go anywhere), I've never been impressed with its carrying lines (ditto), and the "chorus" seems flipped from what it ought to be (why are the best parts in the background?). To clarify, these are subjective objections; so for this feature, I was determined to find something that presented the motifs in a way that satisfied me personally, in hopes I could overcome my prejudice against the piece. I'm not sure this is it, as it doesn't quite rely enough on those motifs, but it's going in the right direction. TaNaBaTa - Golden Route Opposite end of the perception spectrum, Interdimensional Voyage is one of my favorite stage themes in the entire series. As such, my prerogative was different; find an arrangement that was particularly unlike the original, while still holding to the motifs. This seemed suitable enough for the feature, contrasting well without being overbearing. Couldn't find the transcribed lyrics, though . . .
