Yes...
YES.
I perfected her.
After trying off and on all year, I've finally perfected Sakuya! HA HA HAAAAA~!
It was a freakish run. I made some tight squeezes in the opener, had such a bad deal in Jack the Ludo Bile I had to dodge the opposite direction...the worst was her second non-spell. I got into no less than five walled situations that only my special brand of drunken dodging could dodge, and it was very lucky at that. Then I took a huuuuge risk in ZA WARUDO and stayed under her, just barely clearing before getting ganked. After a relatively uneventful third non-spell (if it counts, my sister came to bother me to look at her nails during this before I shooed her without looking), there was only one last spell card.
But of course, even a miraculous run such as this was only a speck of sand on the beach of runs that had come this far and failed. Not that I could count, but I think no less than 15 runs have failed on Killing Doll, that worst of all spell cards. One such run immediately preceded this one actually. But, during that, I did a strange dodge where before the time stop, I prematurely dashed left. This somehow lowered the knife density by a lot. I O_O'd, tried again, and...and...it was working! Wave after wave I successfully dodged.
But, time was running out. I was willing to win a perfect via timeout, but it seems fate finally played fair, for at six seconds left on the clock I gunned for it, stayed stubbornly under her during a light wave, and...and...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Those two bombs were during the stage because I get so bored I mess around to train my death-bombing reflexIt's over...
I never have to play that boring stage in stage practice again...
I never have to look at Sakuya's stupid face again...
I never have to feel compelled to capture Killing Doll at max rank again...
It's over...it's over...IT'S OVERRRRRRR! 8D
