PCB Lunatic, Stage 6: Yuyuko Saigyouji

[Supperdude9]

Screw this. I'm staying on Easy/Normal Mode.

[atan0k]

@Supperdude9 I've been told that playing Easy is a bad idea.

It supposedly makes you form bad habits which make it harder to get into the other difficulties later on.

[kittengirly22]

Pretty

[sephirothsmiley]

It was very pleasant to watch. Also you have godlike reflexes on some spellcards... I usually do these kind of moves randomly and still die afterward. Damn i started with PCB, but never saw any lunatic run of it. (And watched tons of SA, IN, MoF...) Guess i'll have to replay PCB because of you ! :D (But in normal, i'm a mortal afterall)

[chadzorz]

0_o wow just wow that final attack how the hell did you survive that I got disoreinted just watching i couldn't imagine playing it :p

[regalstar]

@chadzorz To put it lightly, lots of practice.

[chongxxx]

IMPOSSIBRUU!!

[zasderder]

all of yuyuko's spell cards are very pretty to look at!

[TheRecoloredEevee]

I'm obsessed with this game but I've never played it...

Is that weird?

How are you suppost to play this anyways?

[AndrewtheHedgehog001]

I couldn't even follow what the 80% Resurrection Butterfly move was because of all the illusions that the game made!

[MozSechzehn]

WOW!!

[OrangeFlamer]

Dont take it the wrong way,but it gives me joys knowing that you to had had difficulty in this level on lunatic =)

[Pakkaslordi]

God-tier

[TimeLegacy]

The red butterflies always get me during the resurrection spell.

[StationSquareW]

Holy crap that last phase with the resurrection butterfly... O_O

[duoname3]

Gotta love how we forgot to breath in these situation .

[Lolwtfrudoin]

Tutorial passed!

[EctoPhantasmagoria]

@Lolwtfrudoin UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TT_TT

[Moothereporter]

Resurrection Butterfly is just mean.

[MegaFireGuy1]

Re... Resurrection Butterfly more like the Death Butterfly from Hell

[Mespritroth]

*watches at this video, then watches own replay of Normal mode with like 5 deaths*

.......

.......

.......T_T

[Guedez]

@Mespritroth Still haven't managed to beat on easy, so don't feel that bad about it. But have seen the last cast :D

[Guedez]

@Guedez Same here, but i had to use continues to survive past the last card D:

[PlayingTarot]

The last spell was just awesome! Thanks to you we can enjoy Yuyuko's danmaku patterns without watching Reimu's ass :D

[gamerseye171]

It's hard not to get distracted by the beautiful designs the bullets make.

[Blaze241259]

Is this really lunatic. Or is the last words in imperishable night harder than the actual games which they are in.

[PCJedi6]

Wow, excellent job sir! Especially on Resurrection Butterfly!

[octapusxft]

I like how before and after the resurrection butterfly reimu moves left and right to show the excitement

[EpicFunkey]

[BansheeHallow]

7:12 ~ 8:28 HOLY CRAP!!!!!

[darksoulz95]

Playing touhou can teach you how to dodge a machine gun

[milabalkan1111]

I am Japanese.

I don't use English well.

Is this movie Lunatic?

And your skill is wonderful.

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@milabalkan1111 Yes, and thank you!

[SilverZeRg1]

wow, you sir have earned my respect ... you do have dodging skills >_<

[888chilly]

Argh, I got a game over on Ressurection Butterfly when there was two seconds left!

Somehow, even though I did not get the good ending, I was satisfied...

[TheStrongestBaka]

You make this fight look easy.

[JapanForSale]

I once played PCB in the school library while we were supposed to be studying for our JPN finals. For some reason, playing this in public with others watching actually made me focus even more. I usually can't even beat Easy on any of the games on the first try, but that time I more or less "easily" got up to Yuyuko on Normal. Even I was surprised at some of the crazy shit I managed to pull off up to that pt. Then when I thought I'd beaten her, RESURRECTION BUTTERFLY POPPED UP AND I SHAT MYSELF!

[JapanForSale]

@JapanForSale Me and my classmate were screaming "OH GOD! RESURRECTION BUTTERFLY!!!" under our breaths, it was amazing how we didn't get kicked out of the library especially with the Reference Desk being right behind us. XD Then I somehow managed to survive those full 40+ seconds by carpet bombing and running out what few lives that I've somehow racked up from the very beginning. It was literally down to the last live and the last 2 seconds at the end, and I still managed to get through.

[nousername42]

I'm not even playing and im freaking out and starting to breath faster by just watching this. I've beaten lunatic with 3 continues though... lol much improvement where a month ago I needed continues to get past stage 1 on lunatic.

[Spazman100]

"Lost Soul's Village-Suicide-." Need I say more?

[Silver72Gold72]

FUUUUUUCK RAGE really yuyuko u raped me too hard i rage quited to my bed

[Thatguywiththelaptop]

I really hate it when the first page of comments are responses to other comments.

[xtrem3rd]

Darn it. I want to be as good as you. I fail to beat Yuyuko even on Easy without continues... only Touhou game I ever cleared without continues was IN on Easy.

[Kirbymar96]

@xtrem3rd just keep on trying, you'll eventually go high on touhou and rape everything.

[xtrem3rd]

@Kirbymar96 I'd like that, but there are some games I'm just not good at. In return, I'm a natural at RPGs and hack 'n' slay games. I'm also generally happy enough if I only manage to get a good ending in a Touhou game, and I don't care too much about the scoring or difficulty. I don't know why, but I always overlook a bullet here or there and fly straight into it. I mostly have problems with patterns that are either random or require moving through narrow gaps.

[Kirbymar96]

@xtrem3rd i usually die from filler mobs... but i never died from any boss except the last ones... i got my first no-continue win on lunatic at 2:00 in the morning, i think 55th full try (i ragequitted a lot in the middle or beginning), and i was kinda asleep at that time... O.o

[xtrem3rd]

@Kirbymar96 For me, it's always the same spots where I die. For example, in PCB, I ALWAYS die A LOT against Youmu. The slomo always completely screws me up, I just can't ever seem to remember when it starts and when it ends. Generally, I find the Stage 5 bosses in Touhou games to be the worst of the lot. Usually, the first three stages aren't even worth talking about, the stage 4 bosses are somewhat challenging, and I usually manage OK on the final bosses, but stage 5 bosses ALWAYS slaughter me.

[Kirbymar96]

@xtrem3rd i... die alot at the spinny things in stage 4... i do something absolutely stupid like touching them...

[xtrem3rd]

@Kirbymar96 In PCB? You mean those spinning thingies that spew tons of really fast bullets at you?

[Kirbymar96]

@xtrem3rd yupz.

[xtrem3rd]

@Kirbymar96 Oh yeah, I hate those, too. Essentially, I dislike all kinds of patterns that move too fast to read properly and force you to memorize instead.

[Kirbymar96]

@xtrem3rd funny thing is, i have never memorized a single pattern in my life - i just do something ABSOLUTELY RANDOM!!! to ace lunatic, one must BE a LUNATIC.

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@xtrem3rd Don't worry, everyone I know dies a LOT against Youmu. :)

The only ones that breaks that stage five rule are IN and MoF. Stage five bosses are HARD.

[xtrem3rd]

@SadisticPenguinOfAND The second-to-final bosses in Touhou games always like to be the hardest, somehow (aside from Extra, of course), and it seems to be something most fans have picked up. Even most of the fanmade games I've played follow the rule of having the second-to-final boss be the hardest boss in the game, like Labyrinth of Touhou or Touhouvania II.

[wisefelipe]

@xtrem3rd

I have only played EoSD but I have a pretty easy time with Sakuya, Patchy is the one that screws me mostly ;s

Remilia is not too bad either... specially since I just bomb the shit outta her anyway since the game is near the end.

[MrColoredElephant]

I just realized how this isn't the high score o___o

[futsalfred2]

Tears fucking sprung out of my eyes

[nicolasmonoxd]

thanks god im not the only one who did the "happy dance" after capturing resurrection butterfly :D

[TheBloodyAvenger]

yuyuko is my favorite character

[viikable]

You have skills.

[ps2nick12]

where did you get this game?

[TheWakalord]

i found a fun wayto do Ressurrection Butterfly -XX% reflowering. it is also an alternate if yo suck at dodging the sidways moving stuff after it spreads ;)

simply charge foward after the first volley of straight down shots and weave through the volly of sidways moving butterflys then retreat and repeat

[4perture5cience]

6:10 ish spell is MADE OF SUCK D:<

[mmdftw]

7:09

player: i got her!

*yuyuko's hp bar rises*

player: wtf?

yuyuko: surprize bitch

player: i thought i killed you!

yuyuko: you can't kill a person whose already dead

player: DAMNIT!

[HollyhockSamurai]

Just a very funny note, I typed in "Cherry Blossoms are Manly" in the Youtube Search Bar and the first thing that pops up is gameplay of this stage from another player.

How does it make sense that this series is the first thing that comes up when u add "Are Manly" to Cherry Blossoms?

[zappazoey]

@HollyhockSamurai because Touhou is as manly a game can be while still being about a bunch of flying lolis shooting lasers at each other. ;D

[zandermanandcassymom]

I heard that there should be a safespot in Resurrection Butterfly just to the right of the default starting point. Anyways, besides Eirin's and Kaguya's themes, Yuyuko's theme is the most epic boss theme in the series.

[zandermanandcassymom]

@zandermanandcassymom Actually, that's in the IN Last Word "Yuyuko Flawless Nirvana".

".

[MusicalMeme]

Oh gawd. I'll stick to my Normal mode, kthxbai.

People like you amaze me in good ways :)

[TDayuuum]

I remember first time i played this on Normal, after i beat Yuyuko the first time i leaped out of my seat with joy. Just to see more bullets hit me on my last life

;_;

[BuggyDClown]

Yuyuko Saigyouji's Lunatic Stage is Art.

[omgiownzizzleu]

I swear, I've watched 7:11 to the end at least 10 times just dumbfounded at what's in the video, how's that even possible? Are you a wizard?

[Hijijiriri]

@omgiownzizzleu Resurrection Butterfly isn't really all that hard, the first way of blue and purple butterflies come in lines that you can easily get through but the trouble is with the red butterflies because of the way they shoot, angled. It's overwhelming at first but you can get used to it.

[MrTrickysticks]

So you're fighting a gluttonous ghost that shoots a rainbow of butterflies at you and has a sword weilding gardener. Right o_o

[GreenCocktail]

@MrTrickysticks yuyuko is an innocent ghost girl :<

[CopyBlade]

First time I reached resurrection butterfly I was like "oh this looks easy" *red butterfly spam* crap there goes my last bomb

[EOCB]

I love divine soul

[BSchmidt959]

bravo good sir

[MooFasa06]

The blooming of the Saigyou Ayakashi and the Unleashing of Yuyuko's Soul is probably the most beautiful and epic scene in the entire Touhou series.

Its the only reason why my favorite game is PCB and my favorite last boss is Yuyuko. And favorite everything for that matter: bosses (CHEN!), extra bosses (RAN!), mid bosses (LILY!) and BGM.

[EOCB]

I always think of the last spell as if though I am fighting the tree rather then Yuyuko

[Clarrythehedghog]

i dont think i can play this game,i cant even beat the first level of pac man T.T

[e22big]

Damn, I can't even how you dodge those hell of barrage during the last spell

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@e22big Well, the trick there is that in Imperishable Night you can play against a harder version of that same attack in spell practice... I spent over 4000 tries timing that one out (In HD Last Words Timed Out 3) and so I can do this easier form now pretty much on autopilot.

[waalkwriter]

@SadisticPenguinOfAND Does focusing in your characters (hands?) help in this tight situations? How do you do that and still move so easily?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@waalkwriter It makes you move more slowly, which gives you finer control over actions. Really that's where practice helps, so that you can close the gap between knowing where you want your character to go and actually getting your character there.

[waalkwriter]

@SadisticPenguinOfAND But that's holding the shift key down right? I have to do that with my middle finger which makes it difficult to do up down maneuvers.

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@waalkwriter You are using right shift? You can use the left shift.

[waalkwriter]

@SadisticPenguinOfAND Really? Oh wow. Thanks. That makes things a lot simpler! I've beaten the game on normal, but I'm trying to get to where I can beat it without continues.

[zappazoey]

The music synced with Resurrection Butterfly always gives me chills, especially right when the awesome part starts as time slows, the screen glows, and Yuyuko goes...away.

[SaffronAJK]

@zappazoey Your rhyming gave the the chills.

[Ihonmatar]

I remember the first time I passed this...Unfortunately, I'm not good enough to play on Lunatic, yet, but fighting Yuyuko was amazing.

But when I thought I beat her, and the music started up again, I was like "HO SHIT, this just got real!"

[Dentsukihikariryu]

That was awesome man, congrats !!

Yeah, I couldn't breathe during the last spell too. Awesome, freaking awesome.

[WoWMyrrh]

Just a question.. you say youre out of practice.. but start a lunatic game with the non-panelty amount of lives? o-O (dont know if it was 1 life or 3 lives, since i always take 5.. xD) holy crap, respect! O:

[regalstar]

@WoWMyrrh No-penalty is always 3. Also, quite a number of people don't really consider an 1cc to be "true" if it's beaten at max lives, especially if the final live count is less than whatever the difference between 3 and max lives is.

[YuyukoxSaigyouji]

Fufufu

Having a hard time ?~

[Tengoku2010]

I used to be able to make to Youmu with 7 lives and Yuyuko with 5, and now I'm always in the same position with you.

Only difference is that I play on Normal (~;3;)~

[Gr3g4rF4lz4r]

Just a question, before going inside the reflowering madness, those 2 lines, what do they say?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@Gr3g4rF4lz4r Remembering the melancholy of human existence, even ghosts stray from the path of righteousness.

[gamerseye171]

@SadisticPenguinOfAND 3:25 You're dodging circles while dodging circles!

Alice: Don't forget you're also dodging circles while doing that!

[Lumhe]

hahaha, wonderful! Really, if wasn't for the replay, I could swear that you didn't made the 1cc.. even I could feel the tension in the last seconds.. man, you good XD

[MephilesSolaris]

You're so good, did you manage a complete run without continue?

[KGhaleon]

I just finished playing this part. I died.

I died three seconds before the spellcard was done.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Shadowelf93]

Wow, I looked at Yuyuko's first non-spell and thought, "What the HELL... this is easier than on easy!"

[FoXMaSteR001]

epic dude

[kirbyksn]

love that finale. awsome!

[chizzluizz]

its cool

[IkeOfTheBlueFlames]

yuyuko probably had the best theme of all

[IkeOfTheBlueFlames]

yuyuko probably had the best theme of all

[Flamedramon6]

Holy fucking shit the Resurrection Butterfly made me have a heart attack

[killyh]

Omg, I couldn`t breathe when Supernatural Border ended just before the final wave and you dodged those big orbs by a pixel.

[Algamyst]

Man. You are unbelievably awesome. I was hard-pressed to beat her on NORMAL with 5 lives remaining, and you did it on Lunatic with far fewer resources. Amazing.

[KatonUchiha]

The Resurrection Butterfly ALWAYS give me the chills, I love it X3

[ElxMexican]

Resurrection Butterfly is so freaking awesome!! xD

I like the Last Word version of Resurrection Butterfly more though, It feels much more faster and intense, Since I try to capture it by Timing it out, like the original =D

[crazymanchinman]

a or b

[JohnForn]

How many spells you actually captured during full run? do you remember?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

@JohnForn No idea. I wasn't really going for anything pretty here, just a clear... I could certainly do better if I tried.

[StarrySkyDaai]

I hate the reflowering with every bit of my soul ; _;

The first time I got to it I screamed various times at the goshdarn butterflies D: "Wasn´t she dead already!?"

[Nazuiko]

Im sorry, but it sounds stupid to yell "Wasnt she dead already?" when shes a ghost trying to revive herself.

[jsheeds]

WAITWAITWAIT... you she takes damage when you shoot that massive... THING too!? I was killing myself trying to get lined up with her, God Dammit!!!

Oh well, now I know I can get a 1cc run.

[regalstar]

Do keep in mind that she takes reduced damage from her fan. Also Marisa-B can shoot at both her and her fan for extra damage.

[Extraintrovert]

Instead of taking the effort to spam what seems to be approximately half of your videos, I will summarise my thoughts in this single comment: wow. That Ressurection Butterfly... either this is an elaborate hoax or I winessed the workings of a far superior being.

[iamtheshim]

Regardless of shot type, I always find the teal knife noncard to be MUCH easier in the bottom right corner...

[bakadude125]

I could never get the hang of Yuyuko's first spell card, oddly enough. It could sometimes take 6 bombs off me. I never had that kind of trouble with her other attacks though, save her last spell before resurrection butterfly

[Sakurei1]

wow...amazing, I would have panicked so muzch, that I wouldn't even have gotten past yuyuko's first spellcard...not to mention that I always screw at that one

[Roxas199]

This is one of the better final battles in the series. No matter how bad you are, no matter how you fast you kill her, the music will sync somehow, and the fade out at the end is amazing.

[DANmakuFailure]

Got here with one extra life, no bombs... like getting slapped in the face with a piece of wood to know I came all that way for nothing... good times!

[Twila27]

Final stages in the Touhou games are what keep me going at night. Only game I know that even if I end up losing to the boss I'm not complaining because "That was such an epic fight" keeps running through my head as I slump down in my chair or against a wall. Then I have to clean the sweat off my Shift, Z, and X keys. =P

Love the video, definitely subscribing. Annotations always make the video more personal than just a replay of a replay. ;P

[necpmf]

Oh hey, one of my computers has the same score.dat as you. lol.

[MowseChao]

I would've seriously freaked out at half the stuff you went through. O_O; Woah. With the bullets getting that close... I normally get really fidgety and end up flying right into one.

I see what you mean about how games other than Touhou 6 have smaller hitboxes though. I remember playing PCB a lot and going "that should have killed me, for sure!" since I was used to EoSD

[Babybahamut]

The music, the intensity, the... oh god just everything. This is the best moment in Touhou. No matter how many times I clear it that slowdown right at the end is still one of the most awesome feelings.

Hourai Elixir comes very close, but given the backstory of PCB the final stage is unquestionably epic. It really is a do-or-die situation story-wise.

Fantastic run SP, had me on tenterhooks at the end there, and congrats on your Lunatic 1cc!

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Yeah, I have to agree. The first time I cleared lunatic is actually on a run that I paused right at the end of stage 2 to go to lunch then class, joking with my roommate that "It didn't matter since I wouldn't beat it anyway."

Of course then I get home, sit down, and clear lunatic (with no lives remaining of course.) I was dumbfounded. Moments like that are hard to come by in any other game!

[SnSNNS1]

After timing out her last word, Resurrection Butterfly 80% Reflowering must be nothing to you right?

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Yeah, that's the only reason I felt up to going for that capture. 4000 attempts at the harder version definitely made me feel safe enough to try.
