"Kanako, Kanako, Kanako YASAKA"
A video of me fighting and brutally defeating (proportional to my skills) the wind and rain goddess of the mountain, Kanako Yasaka
High Quality (Highly recommended):

Kanako Yasaka (the goddess of rhyming names) is the Final boss of the game Mountain of Faith, the 10th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou Project is a series of danmaku shooters full with loli girls attacking each other unto oblivion with a maelstrom of non-deadly infernal bullets possessing psychedelic colors and beautiful patterns of deadly might (only that not really).
So who is this godly figure that threatens to engulf us all? Kanako Yasaka is a relatively easy stage 6 boss in my humble opinion. There is a doujin out there ("Froggy's Missionary Journey" by the circle Ice Rain) where Kanako, after interrupting a battle between Suwako (Frog goddess) and Remilia (Loli devil) and being told by Froggy to, practically, screw off and leave, she leaves. How? She calls back her Faith Pillars in a godly manner that holds no apparent reason of being. Entertaining read, I recommend it.
So why do I bring this up. Because I picture Kanako as a goddess that, while holding a certain degree of power since she defeated Suwako who knows how many millenniums ago, is mostly all talk. She comes to Gensokyo to gather faith.... and partially fails. She tries to initiate an Industrial Revolution... and completely fails (though she gave us Utsuho, so is all okay... sort of). She summons Faith Pillars and attach them to her back for no apparent reason other than looking godlike... and gets thoroughly defeated by two mere mortals, twice. Not a god I would put my faith on... and Suwako is way cooler anyways.
As for the battler itself: Why is this posted at all? Well, since it will take a lot of time to defeat Koishi (I can barely survive Ex-Sanae) I decided to greet you people with mediocre normal plays of me sucking. You can look forward to the annotations if you want. Or look at me as an inspiration, for those who are not blessed with natural skills on danmaku, like me.
I used bombs to the fullest and managed, somehow, to get up to Kanako with 7 lives and then I lost only one in the process. Yes, this is the final section of an entire play through. This shows that you don't need to have godlike skills in danmaku shooter to be able to do pretty well, with a bit of luck. Most of the cards are very pattern and herding oriented. Ironically, for a Stage 6 boss, I find all her cards harder than the majority of Suwako's cards. The only two of Suwako's I would say that are definitely harder than Kanako's are, in my opinion, "Froggy Braves the Elements" and "Mishaguji-sama." Even Suwako's time out spells are easier... I just suck at them.
