Well, force-feed me the Hourai Elixir and call me Mokou!
Just read through the article. At the end it says that you can equip which abilities you want and purchase more. That is very new and unusual for Touhou. I wonder how this will affect gameplay...
Maybe there's some sort of branching pathway mode that takes you to different shops selling different cards, and they get stronger as you get closer to the mastermind of the incident? You know the Dynamax Adventures from Pokemon's Crown Tundra DLC? Think that, but with some tweaks and a fresh coat of Touhou paint.
In addition to the skin tone changes, I think it's the poses; they're a lot more dynamic and 3-dimensional than you usually see out of Touhou art. I'm impressed! I hope he keeps pushing forward for future games.
Haha, yeah. Thanks! It is a bit of a Superman disguise, but I prefer to stay undercover.
Very nice! I am a big fan of the Tempest fangame, and 17.5 feels at least remotely similar, so I'm real heckin' excited.
Oh, now there's some spicy news! ZUN's new art looks fantastic.
Not really. The idea of Touhou in Smash didn't really seem possible until recently. Back in the ballot days, it was either Nintendo characters of third-parties with close ties to Nintendo. Touhou was quite far removed from Nintendo, so while I think she at least got some votes, I doubt many people even thought her to be a possibility back then.
There's that one topic on gamefaqs about the suposedly leaked results of the ballot from 5ch, and Touhou (or rather, "Tohou") did good, but the actual place isn't known
I mean... I think it's possible Reimu did decently well in Japan. Touhou in 2015 was no where near the monster it was 5 years earlier, but still popular. The ballot would have come out during the lead up to LoLK, so maybe there was a minor bump from that? But it is questionable how much overlap there was then between Touhou fans and Smash fans, specifically those who thought Reimu had a shot. This is after Nintendo at Reitaisai and Touhou in Taiko Drummaster on the 3ds, but before the influx of fangames on the Switch.
two of my votes on the ballot. The former was added to Shulk’s Final Smash and the latter is still MIA...
Banjo and Terry happened because of the dual reveal at E3. We already knew the next two fighters at the time rather than just one. By the time Banjo released, it had been about three months since the last reveal; The average gap between DLC reveals. As such, it made sense that Terry was revealed in that Direct. We don't even have Pyra and Mythra yet, and if we were getting another reveal so soon, it would make more sense to just reveal them in the presentation-And we know that's not happening.
I-
The Earthbound anniversary is on June, so a character reveal on that month could mean something.
Did not expect to see a Loquendo Touhou video here xd
Man, I hope not lol. I know Mima has become a meme but as someone whose favorite 2hu is Marisa I don't care for the implications which bringing Mima back would have for Marisa's character. I guess if she was completely retconned so there was never any connection between her and Marisa whatsoever it'd be fine.
I haven’t played PoFV cause it didn’t have a lot of appeal to me without a second player I’d know irl, but how’d they handle Windows!Yuuka?
From what I can gather, she only makes vague allusions to the PC-98 games that are in-line with what happened but don't mention them directly. Says stuff like how Reimu's still being a "poor shrine maiden" and how Marisa's "grown up quite a bit." There's also her lack of activity, staying in the sunflowers the whole time, which reinforces her sleepiness from LLS. Notably, she's located in the Garden of the Sun rather than Mugenkan like in the PC-98 games.
Would love to see at least some PC-98 characters as cards, maybe not bring them back to the story but at least make some references to them.
This does feel like an actual natural scenario for that, though I would not be surprised if it gets by with just using content from the Windows games, as there is more than enough to fill a whole card purchasing system.

Yeah basically this.
I know him, isn't that the guy who reviewed Touhou fangames like Genso Skydrift and Spell Bubble.
That's him, yeah.
Hahaha, I literally just came here to post the same thing! Great minds. Certainly Sakurai wouldn't have any problem finding statues of Reimu for research purposes if necessary.I HAVE A NEW THEORY NOW
Sakurai said all the figures he bought in his home are of confirmed fighters.
But he had to hide the last 2 fighters to prevent them from spoiling,
which means only fighters whom have published figures left now.
and guess who has a thousand millions of figures?
but later I found that neither Duck Hunt nor Game & Watch has official figures. (besides Amiibo)

What about Chun-Li ?
