If you think those games are hard then Touhou would make you crap a brick.

 

Touhou is NOTHING compared to Ikaruga. I've played (and loved) every iteration from 1 to 10.5 and none of them even on the hardest difficulty touch the hair pulling expirience that is Ikaruga.

Bleh, your only handicap in Ikaruga is the GC controller. Touhou > Ikaruga.

Ooh I see we have a conflict here, Touhou can be done with exceptional reflex and good memorization of pattern, Ikaruga needs good reflex but exceptional memorization of pattern. I think my brain just refuse function in the later case.

I've finished all of the later touhou (Imperishable Night, Perfect Cherry Blossom etc) on hard (lunatic is still a big challenge), but I cannot finish Ikaruga.

 

I've been playing shoot'em ups since I was little so the reflexes I definitely have. The further you get into Touhou, the more you (or at least I) realize that it's more of a puzzle game and less a shoot'em up almost. I actually really enjoyed that despite getting killed a fair amount. ^_^

 

Oh no doubt here, Touhou is fantastic, the music alone makes me want to keep playing. The game IS about memorizing pattern too, but Ikaruga's was just a lot more taxing on my brain when compare to Touhou, I too have been playing shmup for a very long time, too long perhaps because Ikaruga's black & white patterns completely mess with my sense.
