Mystical Chain: Sikieiki Yamaxanadu (First Boss Lunatic)

[megaboundz]

i heard it =D

[Jchanproductions]

"So much for the creative naming department."

~The person who came up with the name "Narrow Laser Attack"

[raak1010]

@Jchanproductions

You're right, it's actually called Narrow Spark. Official name given by ZUN to boot.

[Jchanproductions]

@raak1010 ....wow...ok...maybe its the translators?

[raak1010]

@Jchanproductions

*Shrugs*

[Hijijiriri]

Idk if you still need this, but the coins Komachi uses are put on the eyes of dead bodies, so that when they go to the river Styx (or Sanzu in this case) they can pay the oarman (Charon/Komachi) to take them across.

[tankOdrum2]

I believe dead people have coins to pay the ferry or komachi

What happened to Alice, Queen of combo?

[zhnigo]

The greek used to put coins over their dead's eyes (or into their mounts, says another source) as payment for the ferryman, Charon. Sorry if this was already brough up in the comments. ^^

[Spazman100]

So just to clarify things, Sikieiki is like Gensokyo's Anubis?

[raak1010]

@Spazman100

My Egyptian mythology is shaky, but basically she decides whether Gensokyo's dead go to Hell or Purgatory/Netherworld (since Heaven is "full" at the moment)

[Spazman100]

@raak1010 Sucks to be a good guy, then. Better to have somewhere to go than to be stuck in limbo.

[raak1010]

@Spazman100

Since apparently Limbo in Touhou is also where Hakugyokurou is located and where most of PCB happens (and there are ghosts in the living world), I dare to say staying in limbo is preferable. You could just hang around a haunted house or something. And if you're virtuous enough you might become a celestial (I think)

[MrAnonymous558]

@raak1010

you forgot hakugyouku(yuyuko place)

[raak1010]

@MrAnonymous558

Didn't I already mentioned it, word nine to be exact. =/

[HirosamaNadasaki]

@raak1010 actually netherworld is not like purgatory, if my memory don't fail, you suffer a lot in purgatory and in netherworld you live kinda peacefully with Yuyuko.

[Hijijiriri]

@HirosamaNadasaki Limbo is the in-between where dead people reside before they are sent to heaven or hell, AKA the waiting room for you to be judged. Another name for limbo is purgatory. I guess waiting can be sufferable?

[KungFooKidDX]

Here's something funny, that laser spell of Shikieiki is named Ten Kings "57 Days of Trial" (Japanese name at the start). Sounds much better than Dividing laser Attack.

[SakuraAmy1293]

this is why i hate yamaxanadu......DIE ALREADY!!!!! wait, she's dead now? YAAAAAAAAAY!!!! :)

[sailormeo]

... I hear Komachi's theme.. o.O

[BakaofLulz]

DANZAI! DANZAI!

...i hope someone here gets the reference >.>

[BansheeHallow]

@BakaofLulz I did :3

[BakaofLulz]

@BansheeHallow thank god... -.-"

[spawnxiv]

Couple reasons for the coins on the eyes. Funniest one was just to hold them shut.

[DUSKvsDAWN]

lol, msn sound XD

[minicm122]

How do you even get these games?

[Shintear]

Okay, what happened to Last Judgement? And also, the Dividing Laser Attack isn't that badly named; the characters you are using both have a Non-Directional Laser, which isn't much better.

[raak1010]

@Shintear

But it isn't as bad. Dividing Laser would had been acceptable. The Attack part simply brings the ridiculousness up a notch.

[Shintear]

@raak1010 Well, ridiculousness is what Touhou is known for. And you can't go following common sense in Gensokyo.

[raak1010]

@Shintear

Never really bought Sanae's logic. Seems stupid at best.

[Shintear]

@raak1010 lol.

[destellonegro00]

GyaaaH!!

Donde lo descargaste??

[raak1010]

@destellonegro00

Internet? Desgraciadamente, no puedo decir más de ahi por cuestiones de copyright...

[XxStarRider123xX]

UGH! It took me a few tries to finally beat her, but I did. Those damn lighting bolts. =_=

[DDRDDRMASTER]

can you play as shikieiki in this?

[raak1010]

@DDRDDRMASTER

No, only as two-girl combination of Marisa, Alice, or Patchouli

[DDRDDRMASTER]

@raak1010 okay, thank you :D

[RAWRitsanONION]

Hey, i'm new to this game and I don't know how to do marisas uppercut combo thing done in the video, how does that work o.O

Thanks ;p

[raak1010]

@RAWRitsanONION

down + up + attack

[Indigonumber189]

I'm happy i subbed to you now, These videos are pretty kick ass XD

[puretay]

Okay, the coins thing. In Greek mythology at any rate, the coins were put under the eyes to pay the ferryman for passage across the River Styx. Same thing going on here, from what I've read.

[raak1010]

I read there is a slight variation to it in this case, but yeah, essentially is a payment to allow passage through the Sanzu River.

[NemisisGanda]

What in Hell is that for a Touhou Game? Never saw this. is it just like Touhou 10.5 ?

[raak1010]

Is a fan game. The game was made by a group named Lion Heart. Is not part of the Touhou series, simply a game made by fans. And an awesome game at that =D

[Grahckheuhl]

Is the game freeware? I remember getting the demo easily enough, but I can't find the full version of the game any where.

Also, I love how you chain together combos with the characters. From what little I've seen of others playing, they don't do that too well. You make it quite impressive to watch.

[raak1010]

I don't think it is a freeware =o

[raak1010]

Also, I forgot to publish the last annotations of the video. Please watch again if you wish to see them

[stepmanianub]

"I could do an exhibition video showing the normal enemies, I guess ( .) _ ( .)

You decide."

Please do ^_^ Even just from this first video I learnt lots about Mystical Chain from you, so please teach me more!

By the way, Marisa's QCF attack is called Compact Spark, whereas her spellcard is actually FINAL Spark, not Master Spark as I've noticed some people called it... speaking of Spellcards.... you should've just used Patchy's Silent Selene underneath Sikieiki in the 3rd card, more epic, haha~

[raak1010]

I see... I'll make like I didn't heard you and call it Master Spark, sounds more awesome.

Also, I have better and more epic uses for my spellcards than Sikieiki.

[stepmanianub]

I wonder if there's a "Beginning Spark" or a "Slave Spark" =S *is being random*

OOoookay... I await your epic spellcard usages =)

[Grahckheuhl]

Well... technically Marisa stole the spark attacks she has from Yuka... so I guess we should go ask her! :D

*Two months later and still no response from this idiot*

[raak1010]

What idiot? >_>

[Grahckheuhl]

I was referring to myself. =p

[raak1010]

WAI!!!!! ,the annotations I putted towards the end disappeared D=

[raak1010]

Done, please rewatch the video (starting from Komachi's appearance) if you want to see all the annotations
