I honestly can’t take Smash polls seriously. They’re never really good representations. I opened it up and said Goku was most likely and that Pepsiman was my most wanted.

Genso Wanderer is pretty great, but holy crap it gets hard at times. I just beat Futo’s 7th trial after being stuck on it for weeks. You really have to know the importance of crafting new stuff and using your items. I definitely could not have made it if I didn’t craft my items with all those...

Oh, I don’t have a problem with Flandre at all. I just don’t think it would be fitting for her to be the face of Touhou and overshadow Reimu and Marisa outside the Touhou fandom, especially if it was Smash. But of course, since Sans made it in, I could definitely see it happening.

I’m with you on this one. Only thing I would dislike more than ReiMii being a thing would actually be if a Flandre costume with UN Owen was the only form of Touhou presence. At that point, I’d rather it didn’t happen at all.

From what I hear, it’s not divisiveness as in people didn’t think it could happen. It’s more like people actively don’t want it to happen there.

The notion of Reimu in Smash, from what I’ve been hearing lately, is a very mixed topic over in Japan even among Touhou fans. More divisive than Sans was over here before he got in.

Here’s a hypothetical, guys. If Reimu became ReiMii and got one song (of your choice) with her like Sans did, which song would you choose?

As the others have pointed out, there’s technically still the Doujin rumor. But leaks and rumors really mean nothing until after the cards are played. As things stand, it’s a possibility that it could happen, but all characters are kinda in the same boat until something damning appears. There...

I got McRoll’d. A lot. To the point where I memorized the url for the video. That led to seeing the other meme videos and being at least familiar with the songs. I didn’t dare touch the games because they looked too hard from what I saw online, but I kept listening to the music. Five-ish years...

In the end, it does have to go through ZUN and the Smash team. And I just keep getting the nagging feeling he hasn’t talked with the Smash team about it yet. The DLC lineup has very likely been decided for quite a while now. So if ZUN really hasn’t sat down with them, then it’s either not...

Well to be fair, K. Rool and Piranha Plant are kinda different. Rool was demanded for quite a while, even before his Mii costume. In fact, I saw a lot of demand for him well before that and the reveal of that costume had a lot of people disappointed. Not to mention that both Rool and Plant are...

Yeah, I still wouldn’t really call it a “huge leak.” There’s nothing really substantial and there’s still the possibility that there was a big misunderstanding that spun into a more widespread rumor.

Honestly, I can't say I'm quite confident in Touhou's chances in the future. As established, Touhou's legacy doesn't come from the games but everything around it. Representation in Smash is also advertising for the franchises, and everything has an opportunity cost. There are still a ton of...

I don’t mean to sound preachy, but it’s best not take leaks too seriously unless it’s in hindsight after everything is over or it really has something damning.

When people think of “indie” they think of things like Cave Story, Undertale, Shantae, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Binding of Isaac, etc. People see Touhou as different. And in some ways, I suppose it is. Edit: I just saw a dude on the Smash sub argue against Reimu ever being in Smash with...
