Touhou 14: DDC - Extra Stage - Perfect (Reimu A)

This no death, no bomb clear of the extra stage took almost 20 hours of work in the span of 4 days. Special thanks to Riz for recording and encoding this video for me.

[@flygonNdrifloon]

It gives me such a pleasure whenever the last spell cards sync with the theme.

[@wastedmetalman6559]

Is it enough pleasure to be considered a eargasm?

[@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597]

@Thyxs 123 Though I also prefer when the boss is defeated at the there's end.

[@fluffy_cheese7478]

She is a drummer

[@deltempestad]

Are we not gonna talk about how well it synced up at 9:25?

[@SerpentYoukai]

Oh my god “Pristine Beat” is the best Synchronizing spell card in the series. You *can’t* change my mind

[@carelessdreamer]

6:15 To fully experience the drumlike vibrations, please violently shake your computer during this part of the video, then relax as your own body begins to seize.

[@123123s3]

butthemonitoriswhatisdisplayingthevideonotthecoompooter

[@aronnecroman]

That part actually hurt me physically

[@Merciless_Marbles]

I didn't do that though, but in my opinion that's her easiest spell card even though it said 'Death drum'

[@MarcatoSoundMusic]

Woah... Zun really outdid himself with this stage... especially that boss fight... the time syncing, the complex and beautiful patterns... I had shivers from how the shots lined up with the background music.

[@Faceu7745]

One of the best, if not THE BEST Extra stage ever. The spellcards being so inspired, the music, the visuals, and the synchronization with the music and the final spellcard... Masterpiece. 10:37. THAT SYNC DUDE

[@8clementines]

After beating this stage I made an appointment with my ophthalmologist just to make sure I'm not going blind any time soon.

[@maulerfranco666]

Seriously.... My vision was WAYYYY better before I got into these games :/

[@7781kathy]

maulerfranco666 If ZUN would make Touhou 15 with the extra boss as himself, well... oh wait, your vision is way better? Amazing!

[@8clementines]

Earl Vic Longakit If Zun made Touhou 15 and decided to be the extra boss, the world would probably explode or we all would go blind!

[@7781kathy]

***** I imagine some of his cards would have Kogasa included so in ZUN's name, jumpscares can be effective ways to be brave! What else?

[@7781kathy]

Nah ZUN tells us to drink before playing Lunatic. I'll have to ignore that to win.

[@steeledminer616]

I can't tell if Raiko's music goes well with the fight or Raiko's fight goes well with the music ._.

[@inactive2575]

i'd say both!

[@Grgrqr]

I’m pretty sure ZUN makes the music before the attacks, so yeah!

[@Mesruksi]

it’d be fitting for the music to go well with the fight since her power is making things follow a beat

[@Scyclo]

I like how ZUN did the last few spells to the beat of the song

[@zeruszephuros5419]

gosh, the last spell card attack patterns/sound effect synchs with the BGM song.... awesome!!

[@Ultimaniacx4]

How epic would a Reimu x Raiko fight animated by Manpuku Jinja be? Seeing Raiko slamming on her drums resulting in a thundercrack and danmaku in full high quality animation would be so awesome.

[@an_enigmaticdream]

That would be glorious!

[@jamesdc2867]

5:20 Q.E.D. Ripples of 495 Years

[@ajbs_alexo_713]

true

[@maulerfranco666]

It's a bit stressful under the no miss, no bomb condition, but because it's static, I relied on memory to get me through. I did, however, lose one perfect run to that spell before.

[@randommaster06]

TH 14 EX Stage: Reimu beats up the cast of K-ON.

[@SirBagelio]

Holy crap. That survival spell must've been the most stressful thing ever.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

I just realize that this extra stage theme is the remix/milder version of raiko's theme

[@Tormentor]

Am I the only one thinking that her nonspeels actually look way more like a pain in the ass than most of her spellcards?

[@Kappatalist]

They are.

[@arkaineofficial641]

They always are...

[@gyppygirl2021]

+Tormentor I love Raiko. I really do. But she needs to tone down the POPCORN FROM HELL.

[@auriidraws5563]

TRUE

[@change9197]

Her last spells is easy same as Suwako

[@HockNawow]

I love how her attack match with BGM

[@hollanddoll9078]

That´s a damn big prestation you got yourself there :O You got my respect :)

[@mosspath2974]

I love how you were shifting in and out of focus to Raiko's survival card XD

[@itryen7632]

THE FUCKING DRUM SOLO THO 😩🤌

[@anonymousanonymous8216]

i wish those rhythm spells of her's played at the same tempo as her theme. it's honestly extremely frustrating that they play at different tempos because it means they go out of sync a lot

[@Ephraim225]

Aww, just two more stars and you'd have full lives and bombs. Still super impressive regardless. I dunno why I have so much trouble with this EX stage.

[@FairyZibbie]

Underrated extra and character

[@e21big]

Raiko is probably the first boss ever who didn't have her shirt ripped after the defeat..

[@raekuul]

Did or Didn't? Because Yukari didn't.

[@ArctickSolstice]

My right shoulder and left thigh.

[@7781kathy]

Raiko Horikawa I would allow those who got defeated to have their dresses ruined, but not to the point that it's a sexy show-off.

[@himejoon8005]

What about Yuyuko in TD?

[@ThatKirisame]

I love how the youtube retention graph just peaks at blue lady show

[@CDJAM-webm]

last 2 spellcards is literally a rhythm game

[@xxitskimmiexx]

I almost choked when you were up against her survival spell. AMAZING job :)

[@ClamChowdaEnjoya]

Touhou's graphics really started improving after this game.

[@Snakke40]

Amazingly done! Good job!

[@user-ox5qb5ds8g]

9:59 10:38 I feel satisfied

[@RNoctowl]

agreed

[@emishimaru-sama6449]

Those drums are like, splitting too much beer... such a ZUNny reference :u

[@painovoimaton]

Am i going crazy or are the songs syncing with the battles in ddc?

[@TheDevNell]

4:29 OMFG.

[@melodywawichi802]

For whatever reason, nothing else seems to give me as much joy as the last spell card syncing well with the music.

[@FaggioMcOoka]

Are you even human..?

[@oosha2000]

The last 2 spellcards make me go rock and roll baby

[@valerianmp]

Pristine Beat,its scarier than Fujiwara no Mokou's last nonspell (and i can't beat it)

[@k3remet398]

9:30

[@comdnoive]

Just noticed Raiko's damaged portrait shows she doesn't wear anything under her shirt 🥵

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

💀

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Suffering as usual. I thought this was going to be easy until the midbosses pulled up with a crap ton of attacks, LOL

[@DarkMystletainn]

It does that. It distracted and killed me the first time I played through.

[@QuarterKnight01]

Thanks for the high quality!

[@awe9217]

DDC's extra stage was a prophecy that you can get too much lives in LoLK But nobody heed its words

[@maulerfranco666]

I made a Patreon for literally no reason.... www.patreon.com/mikkey gib me ur monyz pls!

[@HarrisonMarriottZegaGamer]

7:36 I didn't know the Extra stage had a practice mode! Not that you needed it, anyway...

[@user-rp7ut8fy8m]

この動画が一番雷鼓の弾幕がBGMに乗ってる気がする

[@arcengal]

DDC was 6 years ago?! What the hell, where does the time go? Great run though, you made Blue Lady Show look like the easiest thing ever.

[@crow8938]

[@Geoff69420]

Raiko's Dead Parrot pose.... ....she's got the torn sleeve, just like all the other girls except Yuyuko (TD) and Yuuka (POFV, but only sometimes), but her shirt has another tear, right across her chest. And either she's wearing a flesh-colored undershirt/bra/sarashi, or....

[@Late0NightPC]

Is it just me or do I hear some of Magus night during the battle?

[@nashezbaernon]

You've my respect sir. Good job ;)

[@Ilja294]

I can't understand how it is possible to think so rapidly x_x

[@Grgrqr]

It’s a drum. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen

[@CuddlyTheMadElite]

What are Kyogre's and Raiko's favorite appetizers? Wait for it... PRIMORDIAL SOUP MOTHERFUCKERS!!

[@callie_calamari]

i always get raiko (electric drum woman) and raikou (electric jaguar cheetah thing) mixed up

[@maulerfranco666]

Haha definitely not on my first try. The person who recorded this for me had no prior score or spell capture history.

[@KurosawaMaymika]

oh my god !

[@02suraditpengsaeng41]

10:38 [ Someone rhyme the drum ] phase

[@nathangamingtv4578]

You can't just get life/bomb pieces like that bro it's not fair 😭💀

[@BGDMusic]

this is such a hard stage

[@AbcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyandzI]

5:25 reminds me of Flandre’s QED ripples one

[@7781kathy]

xof49: Raiko's Dead Parrot pose.... ....she's got the torn sleeve, just like all the other girls except Yuyuko (TD) and Yuuka (POFV, but only sometimes), but her shirt has another tear, right across her chest. And either she's wearing a flesh-colored undershirt/bra/sarashi, or.... Me: A kevlar! You never know, maybe she picked up one while looking for the modern drumset in the outside world!

[@ChirunoTheBaka]

good playin bro!

[@BuruKyu]

i hate the screen shaking it makes my eyes hurt and gets me killed almost everytime

[@StormStar5]

awesome!

[@TheDevNell]

That screen shaking is just nasty IDC how easy you say she is relatively speaking.

[@alexanderskladovski]

лайк, если музыка напоминает «я устал, окончен бой...»

[@platinumrage6687]

Raiko seems like one of the easier extra bosses

[@platinumrage6687]

Well I haven't tried yet but to me she seems easier but the stage seems difficult

[@thefacelessmenreiki2583]

Platinum Rage I think Mokou is the most easiest, but Raiko is the 2nd easiest boss, and then Suwako and after Suwako there is Mamizou and Flandre, i didn't really try to beat the other extra stages, but i think i'll work on it soon or later.

[@qbek_san]

Flandre looks easier than Raiko

[@thefacelessmenreiki2583]

The only thing that make Raiko easy is that you can easily have 7 lives during the stage.

[@platinumrage6687]

Well I've beaten mokou and suwako :P...... YOURE REMILIA :O

[@jacobdelacruz558]

it pains me thatyou didnt get full bombs but nice

[@averageYTuser52282]

Why friend said ddc is easy wtf how it's even easy

[@HyperVanilo]

Practice makes perfect

[@OyVeey]

fucking sick bro

[@fluffy_cheese7478]

Is it bad that I know what they everything is saying even though I don’t know Japanese

[@neitoxotien2258]

I'm so noob that i can't Clear normal without continue. Because i hate Seija.

[@EuniceAkaNicca1]

4:10 starts-

[@mrrp405]

holy *fuck* and you thought magical storm went well with its stage?

[@flandrescarlet6829]

the last spell is easy -_- but the temporel is very hard =)

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

hey man what do you use to record your raplays? the quality is very nice !

[@maulerfranco666]

I used FRAPS. However, if I were to make a new video now, I would just go ahead and use OBS.

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

idk why but when I use OBS the quality is good during the recording but when I play it with vlc media player it has a bad quality... If you ever use OBS could you tell me your setting if possible? ^^`

[@maulerfranco666]

I'm not doing anything too fancy. Just record with the highest bitrate possible with your native resolution. I've set my max bitrate to 5000 kb/s. I think a lot of it just depends on your system.

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

ok thanks!!

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

I'll try it out

[@7781kathy]

Anyway, do you plan to do an Ultra Lunatic run?

[@seventhlight8536]

I wish I can unlock the extra stage..... :(

[@chocopampa2415]

Is it normal that the high score begin at its base value during a replay? Or did you erase it by some mean?

[@maulerfranco666]

The .dat file was temporarily removed so there would be no history of score or spell capture. It's not like that normally. A lot of Touhou players did this back in the day primarily because they felt uncomfortable revealing their high scores or something like that.

[@chocopampa2415]

maulerfranco666 Oh, ok then. Thank you.

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

Can anyone help me? When I shoot in th14 my character automatically goes in focus mode, so I can't shoot in unfocused? Help please I want to play this touhou so badly :'(

[@starsong8579]

You can change that in the config settings.

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

+AlphaGamer Z thanks! I already figured it out but still thank you ^^

[@roxorsoxor]

on the first try? the previous high score was 1,000,000

[@azureempyrean64]

Theres 666 likes

[@BlackBeartic229]

Forgive my ignorance but where are the bosses health bar in the new touhou games. I see nothing at the top anymore

[@maulerfranco666]

It's the thin ring around the enemy, silly.

[@BlackBeartic229]

maulerfranco666 Lol wow, idk how i didn't notice that Thank you lol i was going nuts trying to find it.

[@sath6089]

I hate this stage.

[@7781kathy]

Is Touhou music synchronized with gameplay?

[@7781kathy]

***** No, I mean as if the music sounds like it's going along with you. Like, say the epic part of the music plays when you defeat the boss or something similar..

[@7781kathy]

***** aww. was planning to Darude-Sandstorm

[@wastedmetalman6559]

You know what we need? A bullet hell game, but every last enemy spawn and bullet is to a perfect beat of the song, and makes stages for songs you've downloaded, that would be fun.

[@McArcher07]

This is Not "Perfect" you miss to takeLife 8:42 and the Bomb 8:54 there!! XD

[@tqk2811]

u need re-watch again -_-

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

?

[@oosha2000]

Perfection isn't about picking up items but performance (no death, no bomb).

[@labrax1381]

And here I am, playing an easy Touhou knock off on my iPad..... While I look at sh*t like this... I don't even understand how you people have the hand eye coordination to dodge stuff like this.

[@gtomanga]

+evolutionyears its easy just focus on your dot and try not to look at the full screen or else you'll panic or lose focus the more you play =the more your reflex will improve if you don't have the heart then start by playing in easy.

[@labrax1381]

I can beat the game, no continues on easy, but the rest I just can't do right.i guess it will improve... Who knows, maybe one day I will get all of the achievements.

[@YuffX]

>the more you play =the more your reflex will improve If epilepsy wont get you faster by this time

[@ephraimium6755]

@@gtomanga late but it's recommended to look at the full screen especially on Lunatic since there're many tricky and difficult patterns that required a wider vision

[@starcraftfan1000]

is reimu a better than reimu b ?

[@maulerfranco666]

It's all a matter of opinion, I suppose. Try them both and see what you like.

[@anonymousanonymous8216]

Idk wtf y’all are talking about because those spells are not synced with the music at fucking all lmao, if you had ears and actually listened you would see the tempo is slightly off and it gets ahead of itself

[@Faceu7745]

10:37.

[@seventhlight8536]

I wish I can unlock the extra stage..... :(

[@darkry973]

Just finish the normal mode without continue dude, it's izi sheit :p

[@PawClow]

Or the easy modo option, but then the extra will own you 😓
