Touhou 4 - Lotus Land Story - Perfect Lunatic Stage 6 Yuka (Max Rank)

tap

microtap
Yuka's opener has specific rank related safespots; what works on max rank doesn't work on lower rank. Although it seems safe most of the time directly underneath and at the bottom of Yuka on lower rank.
There's another safespot in the line between the first and second "tiles" in the bottom right if Yuka moves the other way.
Also, the final pattern isn't as static as some people make it out to be.

I'm fairly sure Yuuka is the only PC-98 boss to have animation as detailed as this.

[@gypsysprite4824]

doesn' help that shinki only has 2 movement sprites, a standing sprite, a firing sprite, and 2 sprites for her with her white and demon wings

[@luorsimiliar]

also one of the finest in the whole series, i don't think that she's the best/worst/easiest/hardest final boss in the series, but probably the more elegants thanks to them

[@azurechen123]

It's Better Than The Windows Version

[@cozylotion7918]

And I’m glad she has these immensely detailed animations to go along with her superb character.

[@marianegracel.gumban2823]

And most of HRtP as well. The bosses stare at you no matter where you go, but I think who can have it easy on you is Konngara.

[@meowraar9173]

Her theme is actually one of my favorite of the whole series, despite the fact it's kinda retro, I still love it.

[@MrRatchet12661]

Old but gold. I never enjoyed Gensokyo, Past and Present tbh

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

a little loud and could have better instrumentation but it's pretty good

[@change9197]

If yuuka is on Windows era (ik yuuka is on pofv) maybe she has 5 hearts, Her spellcard : 0:10 Nonspell 1 0:33 Spellcard 1 1:03 Nonspell 2 1:12 Spellcard 2 1:33 Nonspell 3 1:41 Spellcard 3 1:58 Spellcard 4 2:19 Final Spellcard

[@envyreanilarsa]

Hey your here too, if spellcards have names : 0:30 Awake sign "Star Matrix" 1:12 Dual Sign "Dual Spark and Sparkles of Happiness" 1:41 Flower Sign "Dual Spark and Sparkles of Sad and Happiness" 1:58 Sunflower Sign "Umbrella of Death" 2:19 "Mugenkan Arcanum"

[@EpicBob3664]

Yuuka is one of my favorite touhou characters. I hope she returns for Urban Legend in Limbo, along with Mima.

[@yasuyoshimixes8616]

maybe it will hapen in Ationomy of Common Flower

[@ChirunoTheBaka]

Mima is probably gone. why? she grew attached to a human. thus her vengeance no longer exists.

[@happyperson7150]

Maybe at Touhou 18 :>

[@happyperson7150]

I mean Touhou 19 :"(

[@saulgerardo372]

Plot twist: mima no longer appears because she's too busy fighting in super smash bros ultimate

[@OnlyCattoKnows]

I actually love how Yukka is arguably said to be the strongest pc-98 character besides reimu

[@poledra4153]

Gengetsu

[@Vanhaomena]

He's correctly referring to the rank mechanic. Rank is a variable that goes up when you don't die. Increase in rank causes an increase in bullet quantity and speed.

[@Eltipoquevisteayer]

0:47 as a first "spell" it's quite fitting, she's merely playing with you, she wants to see you frightened with how flashy the attack is

[@githon1541]

So much good music on this game.

[@seanguan5721]

Only this one? XD

[@catchy9665]

@@seanguan5721 theres alot of good music in this game And there are tons of remixes lol and they are so gooooood!

Her sprite in this game is much more detailed than those in the windows era

[@dustmitesp8766]

love the way how Yuuka spins in her first "spellcard"

[@cactu]

Man the song is BAD ASS!

[@dakotabless4800]

I miss long hair Yuuka

[@ducklast_name4175]

wow! the last time I got this feeling was when I played Touhou 8 stage 4 the first time when Reimu tried to escape and everything was in motion. This stage 6 was so epic! Thank you ZUN!

[@JaimersSTG]

@OmegaWeaponX25 Safespots are pretty much the only way you're going to dodge those star rings. As for the clone abuse, I just felt like showing it off. :V

[@TenkuHorai]

I just noticed that the Graze mechanic made its debut in Raiden Fighters, albeit not named at the time. It's earliest name, "Scratch Bonus", is mentioned in the japanese wiki page of Thunder Force in the section of Thunder Force V. So yeah, before Lotus Land Story's graze were the mechanics of Raiden Fighters & Thunder Force V.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Woahhhh

[@Grahckheuhl]

I think the final attack comes down to whether or not the danmaku gods are on your side...

[@ZillionBrain]

@olAlolilo The game gets are harder as you survive longer. Usually this means the bullets are faster, but it does other stuff too. It reaches a limit at a certain point, and that's the "max rank."

[@countrybluegrass]

It's not impossible, but ZUN seems committed given the PMiSS profile stating she's passive-aggressive and doesn't attack unless provoked/disturbed in her Garden of the Sun. Or maybe he thinks she's too OP. That's likely why Mokou (who is also massively popular,) hasn't appeared in any other games. He's on record as saying she and Kaguya were going to be in Hisoutensoku, but they were too OP.

[@abarette_]

"That's likely why Mokou (who is also massively popular,) hasn't appeared in any other games." This has aged poorly kind of lol I still think Yuuka would be a fantastic addition to one of the fighting games

[@Eltipoquevisteayer]

I never took into account how the last bosses in Touhou are just a couple of minutes, eternal minutes nonetheless

[@tonick2208]

God i know remember why i simped for yuuka

[@kaisercalvin1742]

And why is that?

[@ZillionBrain]

@olAlolilo Just last a really long time without dying or bombing. I believe timing out an attack phase reduces it, but if you keep shooting, that shouldn't happen. There are also things that boost the rank up quickly, such as picking up items and earning extra lives. If you make it all the way to Yuuka without any misses, you'll be at max rank for sure.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

For some reason, i didnt let me play stage 6 even on normal. anyway, Touhou 4: LLS is a pretty decent/alright-ish game. It's way better than the first three games, imo. The improvement over them is notable. it was fun on easy mode but got a little frustrating on normal mode as usual. It would've been good if it wasn't for the random annoying lag and bullets flying at mach 3 speed. Most of the patterns were bearable, but with a recipe like that, once you see the bullets flying at you, it's already too late. I beat it on easy with 3 deaths then on normal with 2 continues. For some reason I didn’t get a 6th stage but I don’t really care. Don’t even get me started on the extra stage, lol. While it’s insane to try for the first time, and the music is solid, I can’t even imagine how hard it is with all of that ridiculous lag and mach 4 bullets everywhere. Well, it's a PC-98 game with some flaws and aspects that haven’t aged well so it's not really surprising. At least it improved a lot upon 1, 2, 3 but i wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. I'm just going to try the extra stage and then move on to 5 (Wow, that extra stage was actually insane. I don’t know what in the world was going on, but i died at the white orb midboss, lol)

[@foxwithgrapes]

haven't played this title the checkered background is making it even more difficult it seems I'll puke my stomach empty even before I get to half of this stage

[@arekmaachowski7003]

you have my respect for the rest of life

[@banana_pancake7171]

Nice. Beautiful.

[@jaecho2151]

@ countryblueglass Rank=/= difficulty based on what I heard from PC-98 players. its like another difficulty choice other than difficulty choice at start of the game that changes based on how well you play. 4 example, if you see his no bomb 1cc run (which is not max rank), bullet patterns and speeds r a bit different although its same lunatic.

[@luitpoldss]

Ah yes, my favourite yuuka.. yuuka with long hair is dabes

[@TalosMistake]

I don't think final attack is possible... until I watched this.

[@user-tj8bo1bj1j]

Oh... I can NOT believe it! How it can?!

[@prizmastarz742]

Simple: 1.Die a lot 2.Rage quit 3.Play again 4.Practice hard enough 5.???? 6.Profit

[@Grahckheuhl]

I never understood the 'point' of Yuka's second attack. Is it mostly just to be a sort of newb-trap to make people freak out the first time? Though you sure as hell deserved to do that dance at the end of this one. Well done!

[@Dukstless]

yeah, it's more of a troll. very few attacks in the series pull a reversal on you like that, where the seemingly dangerous place is actually the safezone.

[@BakaofLulz]

@OmegaWeaponX25 yuka? cruel? no suprise there.

[@darkqwartzsytal834]

Yuuka got out of the PC98 Era but will Mima be coming back?

[@OyVeey]

1:32 GUESS WHO FORGOT TO PLAYTEST

[@JohrnyReport]

There is another boss after the "Sleeping Terror" Who do i fight this boss?!

[@hazerddex]

It's yuuka you fighter her 2 times for 5th and 6th

[@HouraisanKaguya]

You fight her by playing on Normal or higher I believe, if not, then you get to her by completing the gaming without continuing.

[@NimonoSolenze]

minecraftdarkveil It's both- you have to clear Stage 5 on Normal without continues to get to Stage 6. It's kinda like Imperishable Night's Stage 6B in that regard.

[@thettbd]

***** and EoSD's Stage 6.

[@NimonoSolenze]

The Terrible Bullet Dodger Nah, you can get to EoSD's Stage 6 with continues, just can't be on Easy for whatever reason!

[@JunkoTigress]

Both of them take damage.

[@God-ch8lq]

now do gengetsu rape time no hit (jaimers, you can do it, if you managed to clear dodonpachi black label, you can do it)

[@abarette_]

Stage 5 Yuuka is harder than Stage 6 Yuuka, you think?

No

And even if she did she would’ve cane back since she’s a youkai

[@oosha2000]

Nope, she was only injured or exhausted. At least, she came back in Touhou 5 as a playable character and Touhou 9 as well.

[@omurice8534]

how do you guys dodge this

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

imo, it's a cakewalk on easy and not too bad on normal (though it gets annoying), but it gets kind of unfair on hard and lunatic so i don't know how they do it. don't even bother with the extra stage, lol

[@asgeer5351]

@@LavaCreeperPeople Honestly once the game feared you and you understand a bit the shit, that's okay, just, her last spell is really hard

Presumably he's incorrectly referring to Lunatic difficulty despite its being displayed in the corner.

Nope

[@PsychedelicMakai]

She just use master spark

[@iwaniwaperry]

Yuuka was the origin of her Master Spark ability, which Marisa copied. Although, unlike Marisa, Yuuka can perform a Dual Spark.
