Sakuya Izayoi/Barai's version

Gameplay


Sakuya_Izayoi is a six-button character whose gameplay is near identical to that of Hisoutensoku: using for her Normal melee attacks and  and  for her Normal projectiles and Specials. is used for Sakuya's dashes, as well as her flight system in conjunction with. is used to cycle through the cards in Sakuya's hand, while uses the selected card in Sakuya's hand.

Much like in Hisotensoku, Sakuya must be holding a deck consisting of exactly 20 cards, with no more than 4 copies of each card. The quantity of each card in Sakuya's deck can be modified in the file Sakuya_profile.txt. As Sakuya gains Power, she will gain a card in her hand for every 1000 Power, up to a maximum of 5. The cards gained are randomly chosen from the ones left in her deck; only the card in the first slot of Sakuya's hand can be directly used, but Sakuya is able to cycle through the cards in her hand. Each card has a different Power cost attributed to it, with cards costing more than 1000 Power consuming other cards in Sakuya's hand in order to use. Each of the different cards in Sakuya's deck are used for either system-specific mechanics, leveling up her Special attacks or replacing them with alternate Specials, or using Spellcards, which are functionally equivalent to Hypers.
