Who says I beat it?
Of course, that's just an opinion.

How can you say a memorizer is harder than Mushihimesama Futari ? T_T
Maybe it's really hard to memorize but it still doesn't take much skill to play well after that.

Futari Ultra is an incredible challenge of pattern reading / dodging skills, if you're looking for a game that is as hard or harder you'll have to look into other danmaku games. Perhaps some methodical games (Ikaruga, RS...) are as amazingly hard to master, but in a different way (different skills are involved in methodical games), so it isn't easy to compare (perhaps in average number of hours to reach mastery). If you're looking into all types of STGs to compare them in difficulty to Futari, why not compare Futari to any other type of game ? Because in both cases, it doesn't make much sense.
