NOTE: If I can't work out the video's framerate in youtube in Mystia's video, I'll go back to 640X480 res. Sorry for the inconveniences.

A video of me defeating, with minor inconvenience, the firefly youkai, leader of insects, Wriggle Nightbug

First of all, my apologies for taking so long to upload this, but I've been on and off fighting with youtube to upload my videos. it wasn't until today when I snapped and practically massacred my entire internet history, security, browser, video making tools, yadayada and started from scratch. I hope I won't suffer any inconvenience until I finish uploading Kaguya.

Unto other news:

Wriggle Nightbug (whose name doesn't make justice to her greatness) is the first boss of the game Imperishable Night, the 8th installment of the Touhou Project. The Touhou project is a series of shmups managed by the one man army, ZUN. A shmup is basically another name for a shooter. More specifically is an abbreviation for "Shoot 'em up" if I'm not mistaken. This particular class of shmup come from hell... or so they say

Now, this is the first stage of my Imperishable Playthrough/Lunacy, practically a run through Imperishable Night in Lunatic difficult, the hardest difficulty in the Touhou series. Wriggle is the first obstacle I have to face and a crash course for every first timer in Lunatic. She isn't difficult, but by no means a pushover in this difficulty. Given the control one must have over both focus and unfocused movement in a Lunatic run, she can be challenging. I didn't do very well in this run (one too many bombs). But, meh, beating is beating.

Now, why do I say Wriggle is awesome despite being a first stage boss? If you ever read the doujin "Wriggle vs SDM" by Tohonifun, you know why. She has the power to control insects, probably the most numerous type (don't recall the scientific term :p) of animal in the planet. And we are talking about a humanoid insect controlling other insects in a magic infested nightmare. There's no telling what kind of absurdly enormous, "Men in Black" wannabe alien bug goes around Gensokyo. As a danmaku player, she sucks. In a real fight, her fighting power increases by a lot. So what if she fights via insects? Yuyuko doesn't even fight, she invokes death with the mere thought of it. Everything is fair in love and war. Lets face it, outside of danmaku, Wriggle has some wicked potential. And to add to my own awesome image of her, she is one of the only two non-divine beings that socialize on a constant basis (and don't die) with Yuka Kazami (the other is Medicine Melancholy). I blame Angeltype.

Fun fact:
-She's a firefly, not a cockroach. Yeah, is hard to believe.
