I've found that Anti Climax isn't YMMV (I made the mistake because the related Anti Climax Boss is YMMV). Anti Climax is listed as needing TRS, so I'll store this paragraph away in a "to do" note and only reinstate it if Anti Climax is ever ruled to be YMMV.


* AntiClimax: Some players feel this way about Shinki's final phase, which is easier and looks simpler and less impressive compared to her other attacks, especially her penultimate phase, which is considered one of the toughest, prettiest and most elaborate patterns in the game, and which many fans believe should have been the final phase instead.

* ThatOneLevel: Stage 4 can be this to some players, because several enemies fire bullets that are a similar tone of blue to that of the background, and thus the bullets can be harder to see. This one stage is so notorious for this visibility concern, that it single-handedly [[CommonKnowledge sparked a misconception that all of PC-98 is like this]].

* {{Fanon}}: Fan depictions of Shinki as Alice's mom are common. This has also led to many works with the idea of Shinki going to Gensokyo every now and then to pay Alice a visit.

* ThatOneAttack: The curving "Cheeto" lasers (see FanNickname above). They are large, track the player and move in an unusual way compared to other projectiles, making them harder for many players to dodge. The Extra Boss also combines them with a tight bullet pattern, making things that much more uncomfortable.

Added DiffLines:

** Shinki's penultimate phase is typically referred to as "Devil's Recitation" due to its similarity with the Spell Card of the same name in ''[[VideoGame/TouhouSeirensenUndefinedFantasticObject Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.

Added DiffLines:

** The section of Stage 5 right after the midboss is one of several stage segments throughout the series to be nicknamed "Spam". In this case, it's due to the sheer volume of danmaku of different colors and shapes, which makes it tricky to maneuver and easy to either [[FailedASpotCheck miss the aimed shots]], fail to dodge them, or dodge into other bullets.

* HilariousInHindsight: This game has a DualBoss, where one of the two characters is named Mai (マイ); ''Touhou''-inspired shmup series ''VideoGame/Seihou'' would do the same with twins Mai (まい) and Mei, and within ''Touhou'' itself, ''[[VideoGame/TouhouTenkuushouHiddenStarInFourSeasons Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'' would do it again with the backup dancers, one of whom is named Mai (舞) Teireida.

Adding examples


* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mai and Yuki have a fair share of fans due to their SequentialBoss dynamic along with being the series's first full-fledged DualBoss (albeit the second game had a dual midboss), as well as their seemingly one-sided friendship that adds more immediate depth to their characters compared to other bosses.




to:

* LowTierLetdown: Yuuka isn't very well-liked as a shot type in this game. Her spread shot has so little damage it may fail to kill enemies quickly enough to make her effective at cleaning up stages, and isn't much help against bosses either. She's also tied with Reimu (who has better damage as well as homing shots) for the slowest shot type in the game, making it harder to collect the point items required for extra lives and dodge certain kinds of attacks. Her only positive is having the longest bomb in the game (albeit she only beats the aforementioned Reimu by a slight margin), and even that isn't very useful in the Extra Stage due to ContractualBossImmunity.

Besides adding examples, a fact had to be completed about the curving lasers, as it formerly said they were only used by the fourth and final bosses, when in fact they're also used by the Extra Boss.


* FanNickname: The unique lasers found exclusively in this game's fourth and sixth stage boss fights, due to their (usually) yellow color, large sizes and tendency to curve are usually known as "Cheeto lasers" or just "Cheetos".

* FanNickname: The AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Mai really see Yuki as "dead weight", or was she only pretending in order to avoid showing weakness in front of the player character?
