No she isn't. Shantae is nowhere near Reimu's level
Or perhaps ZUN himself is doing it. That wouldn't leak in the doujin circles either. The idea of composers outside of the doujin circles is a fun idea though. Any hopes if that were the case?
It's actually kind of encouraging reading the comments on that video since most of them are "Oh man, Touhou in Smash would be awesome!" or "Reimu would be cool" or "I'm fine with any of these three characters". None of the ones I read were really "Who is Reimu? Get her out of here."
Probably should rephrase my statement. Of you can't compare the Shantae series to Touhou, especially with the latter series being older and having a larger fanbase, if that is what you're talking about. It's hard for me to put in words, but like Shantae, Reimu is an independent video game character who is a frequently recurring topic in the Smash speculation cycle. That is what I meant, I didn't mean it in terms of popularity.
If there was one composer that I personally wanted to hear do a take on Touhou, it's Keiichi Okabe and/or Keigo Hoashi.
Didn't recognize those names at first, but looking them up I can certainly agree. The influences of the Nier soundtrack could work wonders with Touhou songs.
I've personally never listened to the Nier soundtrack but I've heard good things about it. What's the sound like?
Twitter is going to be sooo much fun if all this was real. Never had I experienced such uncultured salt since the SNK leak.Oh damn, it just occurred to me that if Reimu makes it in (especially if she's FP5), there will be so many memes and ****posts made lol. Especially yukkuri ones, I imagine.
At least when it comes to Nier: Automatas soundtrack, it's rather hard to describe. It can be calm, intense, catchy, heartbreaking, etc. It's rather futuristic in nature, and even uses a hypothetical language that combines all other languages as its vocals. Here is a pretty popular boss theme from the game.
How so?Oh damn, it just occurred to me that if Reimu makes it in (especially if she's FP5), there will be so many memes and ****posts made lol. Especially yukkuri ones, I imagine.
That's sick.
How so what?
I'm going to be controversial here and say that I would actually prefer the songs I'm into go to some of the doujin groups unless they're specifically going to Shimomura. >_>
What about that will spawn a lot of memes? Especially in regard to the character you mentioned.
Uhh, idk, the fact that an indie series finally got in is some prime meme material. Here's a ****ty meme I made in 5 min with yukkuri reimu.
Ahhh, I see. I will say, I don't think it will be as salty as it would've been if Reimu was announced or talked about pre more characters announcement, but I am sure it will still be there. I imagine Ryu will still be in though, especially if what I have heard from the Geno thread today pans out.
I mean, I also think Ryu's chances are really high; that's just an example if Reimu ended up being FP5.
Same. Though I would prefer him to be season 2. We need a true 100% female fighter in the pass goddammit
How likely do you think Reimu being FP5 is btw? I don't think it's super likely, partially because of what I understand is going around in the leaking community as of now and the regency of this Reimu stuff making me feel like she is a fair bit away.
I'd say...75% if the music leak is to go by.
As FP5 I think Reimu is probably 50% or lower. The leak said music was being made for Smash but no timeline. Assuming it's for FP5 is just jumping to conclusions.
That seems to be a problem papageno noted in his video when it came to Hero, Ryu and possibly Crash. People get this info and assume that must mean the character is next when there was no actual indicator for that.
I meant a timeline for the content; see

's post.Exactly. We hear about the content, but we don't know when the content will be revealed.
Sorry for the misinformation. I was quite desperate.I meant a timeline for the content; see

Touhou kind of revolves around the doujin spirit. ZUN, the creator, is very lax about the IP and lets fans have a lot of freedom with the characters, which has led to countless remixes of the music, fan games, doujinshi--you name it. It almost feels kind of appropriate in a way since Touhou has gotten as big as it has due to how passionate the fans are.
That males sense. I knew about how lax he was with this sort of thing(That is why the amount of tracks is sorta believable to me. It's like a reverse Final Fantasy), but the whole fan angle thing was not something I considered too much. It is a rather sweet sentiment if true. I forget if something lile that was ever done in Smash before though.
Considering how many "leaks" there are like this, especially on sites like 4chan, a coincidence may be possible. Not 100% sure though.
Touhou itself is a doujin series, not in the sense of being a derivative work (though it has its influences) but rather as made by an independent developer as a hobby, and the creator ZUN has from the start been very open to the involvement of other creators to iterate on Touhou. The series identity is inextricably linked with the Doujin Spirit.
The only thing Nintendo does crackdown on are derivatives of their games (Pokemon ROM Hacks, you could say Project M). Doujin stuff is completely fine, and like I've said, much indie stuff can already be found at the base game, so it's no jinx if they include Japanese stuff as well.
Oh, that's a good point. That'd be a really risky move.
Whether it'll be the best kept secret or they're biggest decision, all that matters will be their probable appearance.
Clearly it was if the leak is legit, as Touhou stuff was leaked by them long before any Smash source could do it.
Or they probably don't trust surprises anymore since the Smash community loves its leakers and they said "Screw it, we'll do the leaking ourselves"
