Touhou 14 ~ Double Dealing Character - Extra Stage Perfect (MarisaB)

Felt like a pretty random detour but I couldn't help it. Love this stage a ton. Stage is pretty nice and Raiko's strangely immaculate in a game known for its lack of balance. Love the nons and how they carry multiple motifs rather than just one while making sure to give character to each one. Love how varied the spells are in what you're expected to do, love how it uses rng in usually a very enjoyable way. Best extra.
I definitely think it's a harder extra to perfect than most, but I didn't have too hard a time on it myself because it's a stage I used to play a ton back in the day and carries some of my earliest memories of NB play.
Definitely needed work on a lot of the routes, I'm honestly not sure how I got away with so much. Dodging was shaky in general but I feel Pristine Beat was handled well. I was pretty convinced it'd claim at least 1 run.
7th spell gave a situation I didn't expect, with the drums getting disgustingly close. Run should have ended there. Those weren't reads, I just bs'd my way out of certain death.
Used thprac to get into the extra because I didn't have it unlocked which is why some resources may be off. Anyway, LoLK for realy this time maybe potentially possibly ...
