Yuuka Kazami/RicePigeon's first version

=Yuuka Kazami/RicePigeon's version= ''Being a flower youkai, you'd expect Yuuka to remain as still as a sunflower, but brutal as a rose's thorn. What Yuuka lacks in mobility, Yuuka makes up for in stamina and strength. Don't let Yuuka get too close or you'll feel just how painful this parasol-weilding grappler can be.''

Gameplay


Yuuka is technically a five-button character, but plays like a standard three-button character, using the extra buttons for shortcut;, when used combined with or  acts as a shortcut for the character's   and   dash commands. is used as a shortcut for, used in the Level 3 Hypers.

Uncharacteristic of a Touhou character, this Yuuka forgoes danmaku and projectiles in favor of being a grappler type character. As such, Yuuka focuses on getting up close to the opponent and smacking them down with powerful grabs. Of course, this is easier said than done, as Yuuka is cursed with poor walk and dash speeds, and cannot even airdash. Yuuka's combos are also limited, not only because of the fact Yuuka's grabs cannot hit opponents in hitstun, but also because unlike most of RicePigeon's Touhou characters, Yuuka cannot chain normals into  normals. However, Yuuka's and  normals sport big damage to compensate, as well as moving Yuuka closer to the opponent. Since Soil Tilling will be Yuuka's primary special, being able to utilize Yuuka's normals in order to perform tick throws will be key to success.

At the beginning of the match, Yuuka must select from one of two Level 3 Hypers, as both cannot be used during the same match. "Original Master Spark" is a powerful grab attack that flings the opponent into the wall, before Yuuka's parasol opens up and fires the one move that Marisa Kirisame is best known for, albeit in its original, unaltered form. "Dual Spark" is a powerful, anti-air attack where Yuuka smacks the opponent out of the sky, pinning them down before creating a clone, both firing smaller Master Sparks at an angle towards the opponent. Unblockable, but cannot hit grounded opponents.
