Wild Matsu | Touhou 7 Phantasm Stage Clear 60 FPS (No Commentary) @WildMatsu | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
My first time clearing the Phantasm Stage in Touhou 7. I was practicing offline and just happened to get it. Wasn't expecting to, so I wasn't recording my voice or anything.

YouTube won't allow 480p with 60 FPS, so I had to upscale it to allow it to be played in 60 FPS. Hopefully the quality is better than my other uploads.

I do really well for most of the stage, spending a few bombs strategically here and there, then I get killed twice by Butterfly in Zen Temple for no reason (I consider it a very easy card) and then end up getting overwhelmed by Boundary of Life and Death to the point where I end up just timing it out by bombing and dying repeatedly. If I'd known it was gonna turn out this way, I would have gone for the time-out strategy on that card from the start by not attacking. Like I said, I wasn't expecting to win--I had not learned or practiced that card at all. But victory by the game's standards was within my grasp, so I took it.
