Rather than Mythos-inspired, I've always kind of felt like Yukari would make a decent Elder God type herself. Maybe because it's way too easy to picture her starting a cult for her own machinations and/or amusement.
Hm...personal theory time: Look like these petal, rather than enhancing a person’s nature, kinda “add on” to it, and give that person’s nature a new meaning. For Ran, it’s her connection with Buddhism as the nine-tail fox, for Yuyuko, it’s the image of the imperial princess, and for Yukari, it was the “outer being from the gap”.
If anything, Yukari could become Gensokyo's Yog-Sothoth if she wanted to. I mean, just look at this extra stage. She looks like she wants to play Foreigner.
LOL I love how Bee just says the word BoWaP like it's nothing now. You've learned well, Padawan. Btw this is easily the best part of the game for me and the most memorable. I don't like how unclear the hitboxes are on the special bullets in this game, but at least here they have lenient hitboxes which helps.
YES, THIS CHANNEL IS STILL ALIVE!!!! I was worried about this possibly being a dead channel since most videos i saw were old, but i'm glad this guy still does videos. I wouldn't be as deep into the rabbit hole as i am with touhou without him, so thanks, i suppose!
Yukari would fit perfectly into a souls game, imagine a dark souls boss but constantly using gaps to teleport themselves and their attacks around, and gapping a train across an arena as an attack would work really well.
I've watched this stage being played by so many people, and I think this is the most informative out of all the videos. The strats for each spellcard, and especially the dialogue. I never knew Yukari was actually hesitant and wary of the foreign danmaku powers; thought she was actually enjoying toying with the incident solver and wanted to try it out herself. Well, maybe she does a little bit, but never hesitant. And the second final spellcard is rather nifty. Yakumo can also be read to mean "Old Spider" so she went and become Old Spider Yukari
I consistently come back to this channel for the commentary quality; it's criminally underrated. I suppose playing Touhou fan content is a bit of a niche subject, but still!
holy crap, i think this might just be my new favorite take on yukari!! i've always been a big fan of her eldrich-like apects and this game just turned that up to the max- it terryfying, its awesome, its gorgues - i just love it!!
honestly speaking Yukari spacifically saying "That's my script" instead of "thats my line" does not seem out of character. for someone who's a big troll she'd throw everyone into a loop with that.
The Lovecraft inspiration does feel oddly appropriate for Yukari, what with all her portals and stuff. Really cool take on her! She even brought a choir with her! Interested to see what the Phantasm stage holds. Seems like it's gonna be sort of new content not inspired by PCB?
So THAT'S how you get to the extra stage. I kept looking at the special menu to see if it was there after I 1cc'd the game as Marisa. I was convinced that you had to beat the game as multiple characters.
As always, the music here is so good... Id comment on aesthetics, but this is FDF A lot of this stage seems to look much scarier than it actually is to dodge.
I'm not sure about this Extra stage. On one hand I was able to clear it eventually, with all 4 characters no less, which is more than I can say for most extra stages I play. But this boss in particular throughly kicked my ass the whole way through, to the point that my strategy was to shore up on as many lives as I could during the stage, then brute force my way through as best as I can. Near all of her spell cards are a nightmare trying to dodge, and even with the realization that the hitboxes are smaller than expected, that doesn't help me getting real twitchy when a gaping maw is barreling towards me. ( I'm gonna be seeing Nyarlothep in my dreams, and not in the way initially intended) Though, one real helpful tip I discovered while facing her is that instead of putting up an immunity shield when you bomb, Yukari and the Phantasm boss simply have bomb resistance. Meaning, since each characters unfocused bomb allows free movement during the duration, you can continue to shoot the boss with your regular shot while the bomb clears out any bullets around you. Made this fight so much easier after finding that out.
I think that only French people may get it, but "Demon God "Messiah of the Olden Days""(12:38) reminds me of a particularly horrific moment in the comic book series "Les Légendaires". Also, why is Lovecraft's work is called "The Cthulhu Mythos" as a whole? I get that Cthulhu is kind of the face of Lovecraft's works, but there are other outherwordly entities like Nyarlathotep and The Color from "The Color Out of Space".
If you don't like the name August Derleth gave to the majority of Lovecraft's stories "The Cthulhu Mythos", you can always use the alternative: "Yog-Sothothry", given by Lovecraft himself. I feel like that name's more official and covers just about anything cosmicism related.
I beat this extra , but it felt so easy than original pcb one , why? This game gave you so much cherry bonus by collecting cherry items and bullet grazing.
Love the music and style of this stage. One time I tried going for the no damage achivement for this stage and I nearly got it but lost a life at Domineering Spider Lady. I always lose a life on that spellcard.
Hm, I found the midboss nonspells opposite Chen can be done with little movement from the center and Ran can be done with slightly larger movement from the center
I'm late to the party, but as a monolingual scrub, my nearest guess on them translating "I should be the one to say that" into "that's my script" might be that they somehow got "that's my line" out of it, and went to script (a sort-of similar word if you squint and use google translate) from there for... some reason or another I-don't-know-other-languages-after-all.
Question: were you able to write the "rules of thumb" for Yukari with a straight face? Because I sure as heck can't keep one reading them. This is the first I've heard of the Yukari/Chthulu fan theory. I guess I can kind of get the idea where it comes from?
Well it actually doesn’t come from here. It comes from Yukari herself (mostly her gaps). The whole basically being a god that deals with creepy eye portals, non Euclidean geometry and weird body stuff that could classify as body horror (like having extra hands come out of gaps or the fact she’s sometimes depicted as actually having nothing under her clothes and just having a gap there) is why people think it.
so, is Deviation "Wired Flies from Another World" supposed to be translated as "WEIRD flies from another world"? It seems likely, but given the shape of the flies it feels like it COULD be intentional.
How is everyone today? I had to rebalance 20 character shot types for a bullethell game. Mainly because one team turns the game ha m and slash and one character was super underpowered. But 10 teams of 2, quite fun
It’s a damaku game inspired by Touhou and Len’en, it’s still in its concept phase and I’m working on it with a friend, I’m in charge of characters and plot. It focuses on a Touhou SA style With a bit of Len’en RMI. And it’s far from demo. I was told to write down any ideas I have and we decided to plan out the major characters and only focus on the first game, so we’re focusing on balancing 6 characters. I couldn’t be more proud of than the first three teams
Border (Boundary?) of Wave and Particle. One of Yukari's original spell cards, very simple to program, famously overused in fan content (although as a PCB reprise this game gets a pass) to the point of being something of a meme.
...Omega? You said in that DM that you beat the extra on your first try, yet the attempt count says that you took at least five attempts overall and two on the final spell. That's definitely not first try material. But anyway, this stage. It's a case like the final stage where it's very split in quality. I like the stage portion with how it integrates the spirits from Stage 2, some references to PCB that are actually well-handled and not too in-your-face, and a seriously unique system with the electric barrier crystals. Also the nonspells in the midboss battles have a seriously good flow to them? But Yukari? As someone who seriously does not like creepy Lovecraft stuff, this boss fight definitely brushes me in the wrong way. Her theme is just bad and a lot of her attacks are straightup terrifying - and honestly quite a few of them are just plain cruel in the design department (Prison of the Outer Gods and Silver Keys to the Doors of Death can die in all of the fire). Not to say her entire fight sucks, I do like the odd few good spells. Namely Awakening of Terror (great reference to Dreamland of Straight and Curve), Exquisite Enigma of the Deep Sea (with its unique light mechanics) and Rampaging Jorougumo (a much-needed reference to a severely underrated Yukari spell).
I mean... keep in mind, just because I beat it on my first try, didn't mean that I was _recording_ then... I mean, I just skipped through all of the dialogue and went straight to the boss cause it was my first attempt/practice round. All attempts after that were unnecessary restarts cause I didn't like where I died (part of me was thinking of going for a perfect clear here). I didn't like that I died on Chen's spell card, so I reset, I didn't like that I died on Ran's spell card, so I reset, and I didn't that my second shot when recording against Yukari involved 5 deaths against Domineering Spider Lady cause I was being dumb. I still had more than enough lives to beat it even after that, but I felt that would make a poor video for the channel.
The former'll be happening soon-ish. The latter however still isn't done (the Extra stage hasn't released yet). After the full version releases, then I'll add it to the fangame poll
I'll be honest I think the Yukari there is really ugly She was WAY prettier before Her hair made a lot of the effect I would like to have the old, better Yukari please-
Danmaku not belong to Gensoukyou ? Well it looked really not that way. Of course the patterns are at least pretty But the ways you dodge them is so boring. Its all again this stay in the screen middle or move small steps to the side. I would wish if the actuall gameplay would be astonishing rather than using visuals to cover plain spells. Ah yeah and welcome to stream-nation-nonspells...

Eldritch Yukari best Yukari. this was the first fangame EX that I cleared, thanks to the op resource system.

If anything, Yukari could become Gensokyo's Yog-Sothoth if she wanted to. I mean, just look at this extra stage. She looks like she wants to play Foreigner.
If my lovecraft knowledge is correct, yog-sototh is in everything, i.e. She's an aspect of him
So much for elegance. Today she just chose horror.

Get ready for the Phantasm Stage, it is one hell of a fun ride
I love this game, and it is beautiful

Yeah, this Yukari bringing out eldritch horrors of her gaps looks pretty neato!

holy shit Yukari just became an eldritch beast
As always, the music here is so good... Id comment on aesthetics, but this is FDF
A lot of this stage seems to look much scarier than it actually is to dodge.
Now that I've finished the video though, great clear! Worst spell for me was the second one (of Yukari). Can't wait for the Phantasm!
Hold up, Yukari is praising Marisa for resolving the incident
seems legit
Yukari is an eldritch confirmed
I hope you have so much fun with the phantasm stage just like i did , it actually became my favourite stage in this game

Love the music and style of this stage.
One time I tried going for the no damage achivement for this stage and I nearly got it but lost a life at Domineering Spider Lady. I always lose a life on that spellcard.
There's a reason there's an achievement dedicated specifically to capturing that spell card in particular
my problem with this achievment is "Revival of horror" :(

Chen can be done with little movement from the center and Ran can be done with slightly larger movement from the center
