For too long she has been in Complete Darkness, a mere Angel's Legend. Now it's time for a Reincarnation!
Because Sephiroth looks like Lord Sesshomaru and Reimu is a shine maiden kind of like Kikyo.
You and I know that it's just a coincidence.
Most copyright makes so that fangames cannot be commercialised unless the company holding the copyright really likes the fangame you made and accept to commercialise it as a spin-off (the one time I think that it hapened was with Megaman X Street Fighter, which was like a decade ago).
Tbh, if the DLC also include echo fighter I'll bet that Sanae is a perfect choice for Reimu being both a shrine maiden, rival to each other and of course wield a stick.
You forgot the most important thing, for commercial use outside of doujins you have to ask ZUN first and he has the right to stop distribution as he please. This is the only reason we have only relatively small fangames and no big games with big publishers. This is how much ZUN likes indie spirit.Most copyright makes so that fangames cannot be commercialised unless the company holding the copyright really likes the fangame you made and accept to commercialise it as a spin-off (the one time I think that it hapened was with Megaman X Street Fighter, which was like a decade ago).
Meanwhile, Touhou copyright is way laxxer. If I'm not mistaken, pretty much the only thing you have to do is say that the ip belongs to ZUN, and to not use the assest from the official games, and you're good to go. Of course there's a bit more, but it's not much. And here's an article about it from the Touhou wiki that goes full in detail.
Copyrights
In general, as a wiki, we follow the same spirit of licensing as the Wikimedia Foundation. Additionally, as a fan-made 'doujin' project, we also adhere to the copyright/terms of use put forth by ZUN as such.en.touhouwiki.net
Dream? Echo
The real biggest no-no I can think of is crowdfunding - that is something that is very much not allowed.
idk, i think the River City spirits being the first content ArcSys has doesn't bode well for an ArcSys rep. We still got Sephiroth this year despite the Trials of Mana and Octopath Traveler spirits... or perhaps, because of them cuz S-E already had two characters
The issue, is even when these small "leaks" are true, talks could be about anything, not just about a fighter, it could be about spirits or costumes, so it doesn't really means anything. I also feel less and less confident about the usual frontrunner picks, same about Lloyd, now I feel his costume will just come back next time and that's it. Hayabusa could also very well end up as a costume. The whole pass has been only unexpected picks, while very logical ones, it really means the community is very bad at this. I also doubt more and more about Crash. On the other hand, Reimu likeliness is really tied to how Nintendo would be interested to represent a certain side of gaming, namely shmups, music/rythm games or indies. She is still one the best to represent each of these things and very few candidates can represent so many things at the same time.
Hot take: that’s what I’m thinking will happen with him as well
I mean just like all the fanbase video game thrives because of their fans wether making fan art, music and etc. and all of these is what makes Touhou special, the series is basically the face of dedicated fans, an integral parts of video games and media.
Hollow Knight, very likely. Among us maybe. Shantae probably doesn't work as mii, firstly because she might not have enough clothes for a costume, and also because she really doesn't fight like any mii. But I also believe Shantae isn't big enough to be playable, so I'm afraid she'll stay as a spirit.
Yep, you could also argue that Touhou has probably indirectly created more games than any franchise. And this is a true gaming related achievement.
How about a Gunvolt costume? I’d like it to come with some random Lumen song
Maybe Madeline from Celeste. It would be nice to have her as a costume in Smash, since Celeste is a really good game.
I didn't know about Gunvolt until you mentionned it. It's not a very good sign to me, even for just a mii. Mii are usually about relatively known and/or recognizable things. From what I've seen, Gunvolt is quite recent and not very unique looking to me, looks quite cliche to be honest. I see there was also an anime. The games don't seem to have been big hits, but not complete flops since there are several of them. In the end, I can see spirits at best, we've seen much bigger things ending up as spirits.
I mean Sephiroth's trailer just straight-up the Advent Children movie so...

She's the main character of the Seihou Project, considered a sort of sister series to Touhou. While it has fairly similar gameplay, it uses a futuristic Western world rather than a magical Eastern one. It ran between Touhou's PC-98 and Windows eras, then went on hold. The main reason people remember it is that Reimu and Marisa appeared in the first game, then Yuuka in the second. Reimu's theme from her appearance, Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly, has been remixed a fair bit in Touhou itself.
I say Quote from Cave Story (assuming he doesn't become a fighter as well). Hat Kid would be neat, too. (Also Madeline and the Knight, but they've already been mentioned.)
I already predicted that Hayabusa would be in fighters pass 2 once.
Personally, I hope Mima never comes back. Marisa is my favorite 2hu, and I always thought that the idea of her effectively being someone's lackey and just being taught everything she knows was really lame. I much prefer the Windows-era Marisa who's a scrappy ordinary magician who pulled herself up entirely by her bootstraps in a world full of nutjobs; she's just more fun that way.Lets be honest, any of the playable would be fantastic except green Reimu. No one likes green Reimu.
My deepest fever dream would be that on some smash related event, ZUN himself gets on stage and proclaims, while a smash rendition of Complete Darkness is playing, that he hasn't forgotten a certain character in all those years: Mima makes her return.
Well, tbf, ZUN has changed characters from the PC-98 era to fit the narrative of the Windows era before (Alice Margatroid, Yuuka Kazami). I'd kind of imagine Mima being a sort of diabolical prankster who just so happens to have a fixation on Marisa or something.
I think we broke the limits for what would logically work on a Mii Fighter somewhere between Callie beating you to death with her bare hands and these horrid abominations
Definitely on your side with this one. Marisas backghround is one of the aspects that makes her endearing. No wonder she is objectively the best character of the series bar none. Not sure why we bother with popularity polls in the first place.
That is true. And I GUESS having her as a mii fighter is better then nothing at all. just prefer has as a fighting with how unique she would beI think we broke the limits for what would logically work on a Mii Fighter somewhere between Callie beating you to death with her bare hands and these horrid abominations

It's off topic but I'm curious about what do you think Shantae has that other candidates don't, besides a really creative move set potential. Hundreds of characters have that so it won't make any character stand out. DLC so far confirms that it's not very important, only Hero, Min Min and Steve had really creative movesets. Besides, creative movesets cost more and this is the only reason we didn't get Steve earlier. Shantae's transmations could be quite costly if they want to use it well.
Frankly, Shantae has always come across to me as one of those characters that punches way above their weight in roster speculation circles for whatever reason, thus giving the false impression that they're far more popular than they actually are.
Very good points!
For Joker, Persona 5 was a recent success and Nintendo probably wanted to strike while the iron was hot. For Banjo, they got in because A: Minecraft made a bridge between Nintendo and Microsoft, and more importantly, B: Banjo had a massive amount of requests.
Probably second only to Geno, even though Geno has always been much worse. The reasons could be much more simple than you think. Apparently, Shantae's dev pushed quite hard for Smash inclusion and talked about it publicly. Very few devs have done that ever, probably because once discussion is engaged you must stop talking about it. But it should be no surprise that it gave the game more exposition in the Smash community. Honestly, it looks like it was a pretty good PR move at least.
This is exactly why I can't consider her chances as "decent". Nintendo will always choose the best first, right now Nintendo has no reason to chose Shantae over others. Though once more characters get added, she might get a chance in future smash games, unless newer games get in before her everytime.
P5 is also pretty much hands down the best JRPG of its generation. It's hard to overstate just how phenomenally well-designed and well put-together a game it is.
I would assume so. I don't have a PlayStation to play it with, but I'd imagine that glowing praise would have to come from somewhere.
