It begins to desync around 1:45. But the real fun begins during the boss battle. Cirno must have gotten distracted by difficult math problems. I noticed something was wrong while recording the replay because I did not die in stage 1. Eventually Cirno runs out of lives and becomes completely amortal. Life? Death? Taxes? Cirno has reached a state of being where such concepts are both meaningless and trivial.

I cut it off after the first stage. I did watch a bit of stage 2 but it seemed fine. However it may have also had a desync issue later on. I'm using fall Cirno but she is acting as if she is spring Cirno with fall leaves instead of cherry blossoms as season items. Although it looks like she uses Aya's release (without the graphic or gauge depletion) at 1:19. Sorry about the quality. But you can make out the leaf shape and color. The end stage dialog is slowed to a crawl for some reason. But it's not frozen and eventually finishes up.

I haven't tried this with any other character or season combo. I am using Windows Vista (I'm marooned! ;_; ). My PC locale is United States and my PC is the kind of toaster Jesus toasted his unleavened bread with.

I've heard of this bug happening before with Marisa in particular in other Touhou games. But I don't think I've ever encountered it before now. It's disappointing that this happened. Yet hilarious at the same time.
