Man, should have made a name-pronouncing guide just to be safe.* Yes, it's "die-yo-say," and she's the Stage 2 PCB midboss before Cirno. Daiyousei just translates to "great fairy," and it was originally a fan name (since she's not named in-game) that ZUN sorta confirmed. Same deal for Koakuma ("little devil").

* Of course,

I think it's now safe to declare this the most overused custom boss in SMW Hack history.

But there was a Japanese guy who made alterations to it, right?
Wasn't it daigaidai or whatever he's called these days.

Fighting Cirno on the day my plush of her arrived, cool.

This hack gets pretty interesting. Some interesting switch gimmicks and the boss is well coded.

Also: easy mode over? Oh my..

Can't wait to see what comes next now that the easy mode is over :D and lunatic mode sounds awesome, as of now most easy levels weren't that easy I can only imagine what lunatic will be like :D

Oh yes, and:

You pronounced it Loon-AH-tick. Too much AH.
That was the best placed disco shell I've ever seen. Heh.
Yeah, you should definitely do EVW. It's a super creative, well made hack.

Emphasis on the loon part.

Just trying to help.


I do wonder how many thumbs down you'd get if you say something like this on youtube..

Grandelions.

Awesome.

Today was a day of "Raowcow! I know that you know how to do this!"

Now I'm convinced you hadn't really tried the game before suggesting it

PS I hate this boss fight too. I hate all the boss fights in this game because they're easy and take too long and never get any harder.

I call this Carol syndrome. Unfortunately though, the bosses in this game don't look as good as Brutal's.

I can't hear her theme as anything but the Cirno's Perfect Math Class remix

Oh man. No more normal mode. This will be great. But...something is nagging me. I was going to rate the video, but..."ratings disabled". Is there a reason for this?

I'm not exactly sure when you posted this, but I know YT is under maintenance right now. They disable ratings and comments for this.

Now if only they could fix those gravelly-looking videos on the channel pages. It's like they're zoomed in PS1 videos like that!

Edit: What do you know? I got my wish!

Don't be so sure of yourself there bro, I played through world one and half of world two before my computer's hard disk got fucked and most of my stuff went bye-bye.

Suspicions confirmed

No, no more easy mode. Normal mode continuous at least until Cirno's castle. And highly likely longer then that.

Okay, I'm lost. What am I missing in regards to Christmas Buster Normal's secret exit? I know I need fire to burn the ice blocks, but the only flower is in Cirno's house, and you can't get back across once you're there. What am I not seeing?

The room with the two bomb-throwing guys is a kill room. The flower should appear on the right ledge.

welp!

Way to go thinking too much again.

I imagine at the hard and lunatic stages, this is what we're in for.

Though if the "normal" difficulty is an indication, I suppose the hard ones would make even this level look easy.

Non-spoiler about hard and loon attic: You'll probably have to/should resort to savestating

sweet redrawn albatosses.

No seriously though, pyua could have done a better job on those reindeer GFX. Although they still make me laugh.

What? That pipe maze reminded me a lot of SMI2, what I'm currently watching.
