Death Smiles Final Part 2 NEW Cave Arcade

[KageTori12]

This actually looks really easy.

[chroxx90]

kid: "look mommy!! there are fireworks everywhere!"

mom: OH NO THOSE ARE.... AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

[Raiden7284677]

In case anyone is wondering for the ending, Jitterbug opened the gate to the monster world because it lead back to Earth at 12:00 midnight. Sakura refuses to go because of her injured mother. She then gives you a choice either to stay in Gilverado or also go back to Earth.

[HaloSpartanG13]

CONGRATS! You beat EASY MODE!

[BakaofLulz]

@HaloSpartanG13 eeeh???? easy modo??? *shot for reference*

[Thanatos659]

you know only the japs would make a game like this



[PokemonPhinatic101]

which game is better? mushihimesama futari or death smiles? cause im thinking of getting one of them

[Beanisawsome2]

@PokemonPhinatic101

If you want to kill a crazy women that is trying to kill you for the death of her son, Mushihimesama Futari is your game.

If you want to kill some demonic creature, Death Smiles is your game.

If none of these is your thing, then there's other bullet heck made by Cave.

You can also try Crimzon Clover (My personal favorite. Made by Yotsubane), Blue Wish Ressurection Plus (Made by x.x) and others I didn't mention.

[Zir3ne]

@PokemonPhinatic101 They are both excellent games. I have both and I would say start with Death Smiles, its easier than Mushihimesama IMO. But, if I was you get both,.I promise you won't regret it if you are a fan of the genre.

[PokemonPhinatic101]

@Zir3ne thanks for the advice! i'm pushing more towards Mushihimesama futari though

[Zir3ne]

@PokemonPhinatic101 I agree I like Mushihimesama more too, I like vertical shooter a lot more than horizontal

[BakaofLulz]

@asafraneitorh those games are epic and addicting, and god, i didn't know there were more danmeku games than touhou~ i'm addicted! :D

[tey1984]

This needs voice acting ...

[tsdZero1993]

Ladies and Gentlemen I bring you.

Hell. Bullet Hell.

[RioEllington]

D=

[TheTukTuk2008]

Now imagine this in fast...because on my iPad it doesnt have slowdowns like in the arcade version. Ergo its more difficult.

[Stridders]

@TheTukTuk2008

Touch screen controls, less bullets, not as many patterns. I don't think so. Still fun, still challenging, but the hardest version of this game is still the NA localization of it, even after the patch.

[partyman147]

this looks like the tutorial for Mushihimesama.

[TheTukTuk2008]

My god, the hardware has serious slowdowns! Play it on xbox, than its haed and fast....

[mdcowboy15]

@TheTukTuk2008 It slows down like that on purpose. You see that in a lot of Cave shmups.

[DrPhr0]

I think I'm starting to realize what epilepsy is like.

[Skakhti]

4:07 The boss grew some spine.

[burningdaystarz]

at end of level- congratulations, you have completed the tutorial!

[MultiOreo2]

@burningdaystarz lol, now proceed on to level one which is literally 50 times harder than the tutorial!

[JBGigas]

After playing Mushihimesama futari this look downright easy.

[Android2137]

You know, if you really think about it, these bullet hell bosses have a pretty raw deal. Sure they can unleash...well... bullet hell on you, but your vulnerability is only 1 pixel. Them? It's their entire bodies. And often, they aren't as maneuverable as you, your weapon sometimes is honing, and they don't have bombs that are sure to hit you and clear the screen of your shots.

[SpikeRosered]

I hate when I open doors in my house and TyrannoSatan comes out and bites me...

[DMXP100]

...what the fuck did I just watch?

[andy7666]

I love that boss music - like you have a stomping skeleton band playing away! ^_^ Fu*king awesome game, so happy it came to the UK!!

[RioEllington]

Holy fucking shit. I'm looking through playthroughs thinking Gee, this game's pretty tough.

Then I realize they were playing ON EASY MODE and now I look at this.

Someone grab a towel and clean it up, this vid's just blown my mind.

[enriquecastrejon13]

for what the fuck kind of console does this stupind game is?

[RenOfHeavens]

@enriquecastrejon13 This video is from the arcade machine, but it was later ported to the 360.

[Scyllah]

@enriquecastrejon13 Its for both 360 and PS3.

[TigahSoul]

epipleptic's worst nightmare

[the5saken999]

no way you got hit



[Anticrawl]

Weak player is weak, you need to move more to miss the patterns at the start. I never lose health on this fight and I don't move like a grandma.

[Tchiichobits]

Such precision o.o,...holy hell

[inbedwithmedinner]

i dont get it why dont the enemy bullets kill you?

[Requiem9001]

@inbedwithmedinner Two reasons. The first is that in bullet hell games your hit-box is smaller than your character. Normally, only your main body can be hit. Things like your wings or in this case head and legs ignore the bullets. The other reason is is that he did take several hits. If you look at the top left of the screen he has a health gage. This starts out small, but through the play through he got it maxed out. He dies a couple times by his health gage's life blocks being drained out.

[Nikashi]

@inbedwithmedinner The actual vunerable spot on your character is just the little gold sparkling icon in the center, the rest of your character is immune.

[Pfargtl9001]

Honestly surprised the last boss wasn't EXTREME BULLET HELL like in Mushihimesama Futari.

[thesilentkiller306]

my eyes and ears have just been utterly raped the shit out of 0_-)

[Shadovvlands]

This guy is probably AMAZING at geometry wars...

[kakashi15413]

Ear rape ！(◎_◎

[TheWhatyr]

Needs more bullets,

[Barricade]

*cracks knuckles*

Stand back. I can handle this. I play Mushihimesama.

*sets down 50gal drum full of anti-psychotics*

[RyanKHS06]

@Barricade oh man... =)

[iOGarou]

Mushihimesama isn't all that great. Futari is a much better game.

[mdcowboy15]

@iOGarou Futari is the upgrade to Mushihimesama, I think.

[iOGarou]

Futari is the sequel to Mushihimesama. I own both.

[mdcowboy15]

@iOGarou You own both!?! You're lucky, I don't have the money for either one ) :

[freakguitar1]

@Barricade rofl!!!

[pk045]

can i play this on xbox live arcade?

[Externica]

@pk045

Deathsmiles was released like any regular game. So, you can find it in stores.

And in case I misunderstood you (I'm no native english speaker, sorry), you can play online with friends. But as far as I know, there is no download-version of the game.

[andy7666]

@pk045 Not this game but you can buy it in all regions now.. If you are in the US Deathsmiles 2X is available on Xbox live.

[NewJokerSMILE]

Goddammit, Japan.

[TheRiskyBoxSpread]

this isn't hard... I can still see the background

[AlirazaVideoGames]

wow that last boss is very scary and ugly

[DividedXZero]

I was waiting to see "Stage 1 Clear" at the end just for lol

Also Toccata & Fugue in d minor?

[TigerYoshiki]

@DividedXZero Yes, it's Toccata & Fugue. Love this piece of music. Nice game as well.

[Broyale26]

YEAH! Fuck 'em up Terry!

This nigga be goin HAM on these CAVE shmups word to GOD!

I love your replays!

I live through you, man,, WOOOOOOOOOOO!

[deadlykill7]

Man, I remember playing this game for the xbox 360. on one of the versions, there was Level 99 difficulty... not too brutal, but brutal at same time.

[bloodsuckingflea]

Can't blink, busy killing.

[666Winterdemon666]

is it hard to play? well i think it is xD but harder than ikaruga?

[killroththehallow]

@666Winterdemon666 its hard but not even close to Ikaruga

[AyroonSan]

I've seen mushihimesama. It's pretty brutal.

[Dia3lot]

Now that's a boss, the good old-fashioned-die-hard son of a bitch :)

[Tossphate]

What the hell is the point of making the main sprite that big if the collision detection is a couple of pixels on her chest. Stupid

[silvenflame]

@Tossphate

1. to make the sprite easier to see.

2. to make it confusing for those just starting out.

[Tossphate]

@silvenflame haha! well they've certainly succeeded with point 2. I'll stick with gradius, r-type lords of thunder and other old school shmups thanks- I like my bullets small, fast moving and counted in the tens rather than hundreds.

[damjen666]

What's this? Horizontal Touhou? Well...still...Imperishable Night >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this game.

[TheKickassguy123]

In Japan this is EASY level ; }

[AspiringRocker729]

Horror game, eh? Yeah, I'd be afraid if I had to dodge THAT.

[pwpurnell]

What part of the body counts as a hit??? I've seen enemy shot fly through her Head & Legs and she doesn;t seem affected??? It is just the middle part?

p.s. Beautiful Music

[Morden101]

@pwpurnell I think it is just a hit through the heart that kills. Very small hit boxes are the tradition in Cave bullet hell shooters. They would be impossible otherwise

[pwpurnell]

@Morden101 Thanks for clearing that up Morden....funny I had a couple Bullet Hell Shooters and was trying to avoid the Whole Body Being Hit....needless to say I never played them much after not getting very far doing that! I've pre ordered this so I'll take your advice and avoid the Heart Area, Great advice mate...hopefully I'll enjoy this one better then :o) Thanks again

[Morden101]

@pwpurnell No Problem. Just wish they would bring games like this and Raiden Fighters to the PS3. The 'best' we have are Soldner X (boring beyond belief) and its slightly better, but far from original sequel. 

[pwpurnell]

@Morden101 Cool is Raiden Fighters one I should check out then, is it on the xbox?

[underthepale]

The main reason Touhou is not harder than Cave is because Touhou doesn't make a habit of completely abandoning all pretenses of fairness. I mean, I'm not good at either, I don't even like either, but I know bullshit when I see it. Most Cave shooters, espically where the true last bosses are concerned, are bullshit.

[01creativenamehere10]

is that phantom of the opera?

[SunchaN1412]

oO" WHAT THE FREAKIN' ...!?

I am good at vertical shooters (like touhou) but i hate those horizontal things. Wharg. In those I die and die and die...

I also think you cant compare Touhou and this, which is why cant tell which one is harder, either. This is all about your personal skill, you cant tell in general.

I will stick to my vertical danmaku things :3

[justin20877]

This is INSANE. Damn!!!

[Knightimex]

I know how to make this game stupid hard.

Do it Super R-type style.

Get hit 1 time and you have to play the entire stage all over again even if you are at the boss. =)

[sodapop513]

This seems a lot easier than Mushihimesama... What happened, Cave? :<

[83joonior]

Why is it that any of the videos with ridiculous dodging sequences like this have the volume blaring in the video? I gotta turn the sound down as far as possible for it to be tolerable :-/

[olstar18]

@83joonior Because the games volume is that loud to begin with. Most games I play at 25 on my tv but this one I kept at 15.

[karanokyokkai]

TSA is a doujin circle with a staff of one and Cave's a commercial company with 153 employees.

To compare these two developers is quite unfair imo.

Though if i were to value which franchise has more core audience with more recognizable brand value, Touhou would obviously take the cake.

And don't knock brand value / core audience. This is what allowed typemoon - a previously doujin circle - to go commercial.

[lolman709]

touhou WAY harder

[UberNiftyMan]

@lolman709 Touhou LOOKS way harder. More, smaller bullets + smaller hitboxes == apparent difficulty (although personally I still prefer touhou, cave is just more... reasonable looking :3)

[OyVeey]

@UberNiftyMan Go ahead and play any game by Psikyo. I suggest looking at videos of Dragon Blaze or Gunbird 2 - those are some FAST bullets, but there ain't that many of them. So, is that easier or harder than your toohoo, where bullets move at the speed of a school bus in mud? If the bullets aren't moving fast enough to be threatening (see most of Mokou's non-spell attacks, her first spell card, and the swastika one, among MANY others), then they're only there for intimidation.

[UberNiftyMan]

@OyVeey Um... what are you arguing? I said Touhou looks harder. It isn't actually harder. My comment agrees with yours. Chill the fuck out :P

And also, Touhou 8 is probably the easiest one in the series, so that shouldn't be your comparison point, anyway.

[Kureix1]

oh, anyone else find the shape of some of those bullets disturbing <.<...?

[Kureix1]

I've played both. They have different feels to them.

[Maczekdum]

tabarnak!!

[joshnoitra]

@DudemanofAwesome LOL, but yeah, mushihime-alamaaa-warawaracaoy­u is freakin crazy, but deathsmiles also, the crazy bullets come from right-left-up-bottom, you cant compare it to mushi, the genre is differ. *engrish mode on*

[DudemanofAwesome]

This looks hard, but yeah, nothing like that Mushihimisamawasabisushiwallaw­alladingdong that he fought.

[pokemonranger21]

@DudemanofAwesome You Just HAD to relate this game and mushihimesama futari to ALVIN AND THE FREAKING CHIPMUNKS didn't you 

[rida81]

how is she not getting hit... is the hit box only the girl's head or something?

[axlbrujo]

@rida81 Maybe you can't see it for the quality video, but, in the very center of the loli, there's a flashing heart, that 'flashing heart' it's the only hitbox they have. And don't get comfy, there's still very hard to not get hit...

[TheDatvinh999]

If only the game programmers did put geometric equations into the shooting patern of the boss...

[vovautube]

Ahhh, these Japanese...

[aliascent]

So i herd you liek bullets ?

[dryzen]

not harder than hellsinker. nuffsaid

[11Neji11Hyuga11]

JESUS CHRIST, HIS SPINE COMES OFF AND FIGHTS YOU!!!!! O.O

[killacamrizzle]

where da fuck can u find dis game & da Mushihimsama Futari game @??? I can't find em!!

[emerasxx]

@killacamrizzle dude you really want to get pwned hard if i were him i would play easier games

[killacamrizzle]

@emerasxx lol, yeah but i luv a challenge...

[Mintyfressh]

not as difficult as mushihimesama, butt it looks awesome! & the boss gave me chills!

[joelyboyy84]

honestly.. this game doesn't look TOO hard considering the speed of the bullets and the number of them..

[akute1]

Fuck that.

[OZZYRULES200]

Ikaruga is a pretty tough game too.

[Tailswraith]

Wait! Cave? Isn't it that guys that made Dangun Feveron?

[sylvur]

I gotta try and find this game to give it a try. I mean look at it... is the guy cheating? The hit detection of your character is either so badly designed or the guy is using an invincibility cheat! He's getting hit ALL THE TIME! The projectiles are always touching the little witch character. WTF!

[thesunalwayrises]

@sylvur then you have never played a Danmaku dude, with such a wall of bullets, having the whole body be able to hit, it will be hell. in Fact, there is a (small) HitBox in the chest of the character, the rest of the body is just image, so you only have to worry about making sure the hitbox not getting hit

[nuwavghost]

@sylvur I used to think that, but there's a little glowing centre in the character. If that gets hit, then the character dies. It's as thesunalwaysrises stated. I bought the game a few weeks ago at a GameStop and it's alright. If you play it on hard mode, it can be fairly difficult to pass the game. The cool thing about this game is that it comes with a faceplate for the xbox and a cd of the video game's score. I think they did a decent job of bringing this game to the U.S.

[Keichan2501]

the song is from phantom of the opera

[C0DESUB]

where can i get this awesome song in the background? My sis needs it for a horror vid..

[nuwavghost]

@C0DESUB That's Bach's "Toccata & Fugue." It's a very popular classical piece.

[C0DESUB]

@nuwavghost i was reffering to the boss be4 that...

[thesunalwayrises]

@C0DESUB yep, me too

[C0DESUB]

@thesunalwayrises no no...

The 1st boss u see here... in this vid... on 0:01...

[thesunalwayrises]

@C0DESUB ok fine

watch?v=RrCiQus4oMk there you go

[0BornofDesire0]

this looks oddly addicting

[AyroonSan]

I love Bullet Hell games.

[emerasxx]

@AyroonSan then you should play mushihimesama against TGA-RET he gives you REAL Bullet Hell wait not bullet hell he gives you bullet galaxy(a galaxy full of enemy bullets)

[darthbdogg1]

that doesn't even look fun, just frustrating as hell

[MrDeebles]

@darthbdogg1

its addicting if u start slow (Dodonpachi 2)

and work your way up.

you get to be AMAZING. and you learn your best styles

(some people are good at Musihimesama but suck at Dodonpachi DaiouJou)

[hardcoredirengreyfan]

this isnt even the TLB dumbass. and its possible to 1CC this its not that huge of a challenge. fucking noob. this is directed to arragon.

on the other hand the MBL TLB is pretty damn hard lol.

[ArrogantBastardX]

This is not real. Don't try it! No bullet-hell shooters have true bosses in the US version. No one can play this game without continuing. All shooters require players to continue. Who says you can reach that much of a score? Completely pathetic. Worst games that Cave ever did for Xbox 360. Unless you live in Japan, you will not not be affected.

[RealSolidSalamander]

@ArrogantBastardX Translation: DURR I'M A JAPAN FANBOY WHO THINKS THAT AMERCIAN BITCHES CAN'T GET MAH BULLET HEELZ

No offense to Japanese. :D

[n0rtygames]

@ArrogantBastardX Er, think you've got the wrong end of the stick there. The final boss in Dodonpachi (the original) has armour, but you have to be intending to invest a lot of time in the game to fight him anyway. He's armoured when he's not attacking.... Cave make their final bosses really hard to beat, but not impossible. When you do beat one, it's satisfying :)

[claruslupus]

@n0rtygames Actually it has bomb barrier and resurrection barrier. If you don't use bombs/die, you can always hit it.

[VanofArtic2]

@ArrogantBastardX just die in a fire

[SupraHyperMegaUltra]

Oh, these Cave shooters never cease to amaze me...

[FormlessGod]

Ugh, I take back what I said earlier. Jitterbug and Tyrannosatan rapes me even more badly than the previous stages combined. And it's not even MBL >_>

[RevnaVarea]

Toccata en Fugue <3

[chanchobolando]

the bricks have been shat

[bleh654321]

Amazing how much slowdown they left out on the US version.

[LeoPirate]

Toccata and Fugue

[torkolv97]

where...and how do i find this game? it sounds like it would be a nice challenge, considering how brutalized the player can be before winning.

[Bistol13]

@torkolv97 It is about $50.00, every ga,estop seems to have a copy. It is on the 360 only so if you have a PS3 you're screwed. The Limited edition is the only one i think is avalible at the moment whitch comes with a faceplate and a sountrack.

[olstar18]

@torkolv97 If you think thats brutal just imagine how bad it would be on lvl 999.

[Alphabasicnumeric]

Does this guy shit bullets?

[olstar18]

@Alphabasicnumeric No he breaths them and shits bricks.

[kardtable]

This stage is one cluster fuck of madness. Great job dodging all the bullets ^_^

[SwerdMurd]

this is surprisingly legit normal difficulty for a final boss in a Cave game. I figured once they made Mushihime they were just moving into impossible-on-all-difficulties­-for-all-games.

[VeryBoring]

What the heck?! I just got done playing this stage. The bullets move slower in this video.

[QuickSilverZero1]

And after god got pissed for not beating Satan in this game he banished him to hell.

[Downfall8888]

ANyone know the name and or where i can get this song?

[FormlessGod]

Please tell me this is NOT the hardest mode.

[CrownChanel]

@FormlessGod ok this  is NOT the hardest mode!

no seriously this guy probably plays the game on normal ....

[SirValor1177]

@FormlessGod Lol I don't think so.

[zander7x7]

This boss is actually trying to kill you.

[Lechxim]

the music is amazing... :D

[OyVeey]

I wish people would stop comparing Touhou and Cave. they're totally different and no, Touhou is not harder. I suspect you've never played either, so please don't try to compare.

[DexlessOps]

@OyVeey I have. I compare them in awesomeness, not in difficulty. So far, Deathsmiles is Touhou's equal in my eyes.

I have both games, and I find Touhou harder, but I like Deathsmile's style.

[emerasxx]

@OyVeey yea i agree mushimesama futari final boss is the hardest in video game boss history i mean you get mauled by bullets in there BULLETS EVERYWHERE!!!! also in the hardest mode Queen larsa has 2 forms also you can survive her without dying by playing in god mode

[OyVeey]

@emerasxx Yeah, I don't think you get it. You're just looking at bullet count it you think Larsa is hardest - DOOM from Ketsui and Hibachi from Daiuojou are much harder (faster bullets) Check them out.

[DukeOnkled]

@OyVeey

Touhou needs its own kind of strategy of sorts.

Both kinds of shooters are difficult in their own ways.

[Earthplayer]

@OyVeey

Cave makes alot of different shmups, Mushihimesama for example comes pretty close to Touhou! Which one is harder can't be said, it depends on the game :)

[andyg76]

@OyVeey I think Touhou might be harder, just that I can't tell about the hitbox of this game and it is left/right instead of top to bottom.

I suspect you've never played Touhou before, but I've never played this game...

[Akeru99]

@andyg76 you know, OyVeey actually has a touhou video on his channel...

[meirus]

@OyVeey If I were to compare the normal modes of CAVE games to touhou games I'd say touhou is harder across the board. If you compare harder difficulties though...

[machamacha]

@OyVeey

I played both, and I find TOuhou obviously harder by a noticeable margin? So what? Doesn't mean cave's games are bad at all...... Sigh, fanbois. :/

[SuperSoaker360]

@OyVeey I've played Touhou to no end and it is a lot harder than Cave shmups, although both are still very well done, featuring their own different appeal.

[Corad4]

@OyVeey Yeah, it's kinda the same thing with Gundemonium. I hate it when people do that when it's just not necessary.

[teeeight]

forgive me, I've never heard of this game or until now so I might just not be looking at the right things but... do bullets even hurt you in this game??  super tiny hit box?? or I'm not looking at the life bar right?... it looks like this guy is getting hit all day and I only saw life bar go down once...

[ladyabaxa]

@teeeight The player has a tiny hitbox and dies in one hit. The life bar belongs to the boss.

[teeeight]

@ladyabaxa

oh- I knew the life bar on the side was for the boss, I was looking at something toward the top left of the screen (but apparently it had nothing to do with life). That hit box must be like 1 pixel, it looks like he's getting hit a lot but doesn't die...

[RedBelmont456]

@teeeight This is a bllet hell game bro... It would be next to impossible to beat if the hitbox weren't any smaller than 1 pixel, also since it's a bullet hell from aksys games you might actually be able to see the damage range location as a glowing dot of a certain color, but even if you see the hitbox, these games are still notoriously cruel! That's why... me likey them *laughs maniacally*

[FONEternal]

Impressive music.

[Dan1loBr]

bach's toccata & fugue in D- *--* awesome game!

[gabrielsff]

3:04

most wtf boss power EVER

[Ayrennar]

side ways not vertical :O

[SangueLeader]

Isn't there suppose to be three bosses in the end of Death Smiles? Jitterbug twice I believe.
