Shrine Maiden of Paradise ~ Reimu Hakurei (Touhou Project)

[Quidd Dude]

Papagenos mentioned the leak that had Reimu but thought it was fake since it has KOS-MOS and Namco said they didn't had any plans with the Xenosaga series. Still it was nice to see him say Reimu.

 

[TheTuninator]

How F2P friendly is it? I don't want to start another gacha game unless I go F2P(I play genshin and FGO right now

I feel ya on that, FGO is bad enough for me, especially with Luvia and Reines coming up.

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

 

[GolisoPower]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Mine's Yuugi, the party animal of an oni. She's just so laidback and happy, you can't help but have a drink with her. I'd love to join her in a party, despite the amount of broken bones I'd no doubt go through.

 

[Lyncario]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Sakuya and by a lot, which is also a big part of why I'm very hyped for Luna Nights finaly releasing on Switch.

 

[Blankiturayman]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Hard to say for me as I like a lot of characters. First ones that come to mind though are Patchouli and Tenshi. Probably leaning more towards Patchouli, I just find her character enjoyable, plus she's really fun to play as in fighters.

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Marisa, followed closely by Reimu. They're simply a delightful pair of protagonists, very different from what you often see, and their character designs are impeccable to boot. It's also nice to know that I can always look forward to lots of new content for them.

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Good question. There's a lot and I haven't really settled on one, so here's a list

• Reimu. After pushing her for Smash so long I've kinda grown attached to her. Having a pretty unique design helps (Though seeing as it's Touhou, that's not saying much).
• Sakuya. A mix of design, being a Dio expy and thusly being fun to explain to newcomers, and the fact that Flowering Night was one of the first Touhou songs I really latched on to.
• Youmu. There's kind of a funny story behind this one. For a while on Discord I had "The Touhou Guy" as my handle and so I got tagged a lot for Touhou fanart. A lot of it was Youmu. When my current profile was posted, I ended up using it because it looked comfy and fitting for winter... Except it's also Youmu, so I ended up becoming the Youmu guy without realizing it.
• Reisen. There's something that stands out about being a relatively sane, anxious bunny, especially when you consider how most people in the setting just go "HEY BRO LET'S FIGHT." That, and rabbits in general are nice.
• Junko. On the flipside, she stands out for being one of the few actual villains in the series. Plus, she's got a great theme. This remix in particular was one that I stumbled upon in my early days of the Touhou fandom.

Junko (She's not the one I think of from Danganronpa), Out of all these characters you mentioned, Junko is the newest. She debuted in 2015.

And Sakuya is not an expy of Dio. To be an expy, a character needs to have plentiful similarities, not just a few. Sakuya is only modeled after Dio ability/moveset/combat-wise. She's not even aesthetically similar to Dio at all.

Eh, stopping time, throwing knives, having a relation with vampires (Dio is literally one and Sakuya is the servent of Remilia, a vampire), Sakuya literally has an attack named "Sakuya's World" and she looks like a typical british maid and Dio is british. I guess she might not be an expy but come on they have a lot of simillarities.

Also she has a Dio alt in the fighters

Specifically the middle-left one
Plus, it's just funnier to tell your confused friends "Anyways Touhou has literally DIO"

I knew i forgot somenthing.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

My favorite changes pretty often, but it's usually between Utsuho, Suika, and Mokou.
I liked playing Suika and Utsuho in the fighting games and Mokou was the first extra boss I ever cleared

 

[ARandomFruit]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

I have a lot of favorites but Patchouli and Keiki are my all time favorites.
Which is why I hope they get spirits if Reimu ever gets in.
We also need Patchouli back in the next fighting spinoff.

Personaly, I prefer to say "Did you guys knew that Touhou had DIO's secret daughter who is also his only child to inherit his power over time?"

DIO and Sakuya are not even blood-related. Sakuya is neither a Joestar or a Brando. In-universe wise, it's just a coincidence. Also, Sakuya's abilities/moveset actually differs from DIO's. DIO can only stop time, whereas Sakuya can also speed it up, slow it down, erase it, rewind it, etc.

I'm beginning to wonder, where do Touhou characters get their movesets/powers/abilities from? How do they learn them?

 

[Rikarte]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

My all time favorite is Komachi though I've grown quite a liking in Saki too. She's too cool.

 

[AmphabulouSnake]

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Youmu will remain my favorite forever ^^
She's wonderfully cute :3
Myon Myon ~
(Reimu's probably my second favorite just because I mainly play her in the games)

 

[Soulor]

Thanks to various Yukkuri content and their portrayal of characters, I'm partial to Youmu.

 

[gavtel]

Although I don't have a particular favourite (there's way too many great characters); in terms of gameplay, I enjoyed playing as Sakuya A in PCB the most (the option of a spread shot or homing shot is pretty useful (allowing you to switch between dealing with a lot of enemies to dealing with a tougher enemy / boss)).

This is off-topic from the favourites talk but here's some news regarding Genso Skydrift (a few days late but I figured I should let you guys know). The 1st Anniversary Cup stream for Genso Skydrift had screenshots of the new Heaven course / Alice (skip to 2:50:05 for the screenshots), along with talk about them / Orin (just a head's up: there's a Yukkuri voice yelling out the comments while all of this is going on so it might be a bit hard to hear what they're saying at times): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/834696240

Papagenos mentioned the leak that had Reimu but thought it was fake since it has KOS-MOS and Namco said they didn't had any plans with the Xenosaga series. Still it was nice to see him say Reimu.

Yeah I think that saying the leak is fake due to KOS-MOS is a bit unfair. Banjo got in, without Microsoft having any plans for him. If Sakurai wanted KOS-MOS in because he is a fan of the series, then that is why she is in.

I feel ya on that, FGO is bad enough for me, especially with Luvia and Reines coming up.

I'm fully F2P now on FGO JP, been saving for Tamamo Vitch, but I did throw some of my saved quartz towardsa Ibuki Douji and Vritra(got the first in 1 roll, the latter in 4 rolls) Now I'm back up to saving.

In NA though.... hoo boy. Not going for Bootyrante, but I am trying for Rider quetz in a few days. After that is Beni-Enma, and Kama, and Kingprotea, and Luvia and Reines... and thats just the first 3 months oof.

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

*points to my Icon.

I love Tewi so much. Inaba Inaba was so much fun and she was such a little pest but also likeable.

 

[Quidd Dude]

Well i guess i'll say who my favorite 2hu is.

I love Sekibanki so much, her design is so cool, her theme is one of my favorites and she has one of the most unique attacks in the series with her detachable head, but sadly if Reimu gets in i see no way she gets a spirit or something

Sekibanki is obscure from what I know. But you are free to like her as much as you like.

Yeah they said they had no plans for the "Xenosaga series" they didn't say anything about not having plans for Kos-Mos individually.

To all the people here, who is your favorite 2hu?

Flandre. for sure. She's how I got into the franchise afterall. Basic ***** suggestion as it may be.

 

[Dr. Yatagarasu]

⑨ is best

Also Luna Nights is out now on the eshop, so grab it if you want

 

[Soulor]

I wonder if there will ever be a physical version of Luna Nights. Im tempted to wait but I'd like to replay the game after so long and I'm only buying it once. Ah well.

 

[Rikarte]

Little unrelated but I managed to get my Imperishable Night LNB run accepted for a German speedrun marathon! Very excited about this. Hope I'll do the game justice!

Nice! No bomb Lunatic, huh? Impressive!

You know what would be cool about Reimu getting into Smash tho is that we’d see official Touhou 3D character models

it’s to my understanding that all official games, fan games and spin-offs used 2D sprites

the closest i think we got to offical 3d touhou models was her guest appearance in graffiti kingdom, which ZUN assisted making

Nobody would consider that "official". Firstly because they are not displayed in the game, they're only used in the production pipeline. And secondly because they're very low quality (this is the point of this process), so you wouldn't want them as "official" models anyways. At best you could use them to infer "official" character proportions, but you don't really need 3D for that anyways.

Also, I forgot there was a graffitii kingdom 2, and Reimu is there as well.

That

is a very strange looking model

 

[PurpleXCompleX]

Thats the nature of Graffiti Kingdom, a RPG series by Taito which ZUN worked for before.
You draw 3D creatures which come to life.
And the stats are also mostly based on how they are drawn.

Reimu has been an unlockable cameo in pretty much all Graffiti Kingdom game.
The linked tweet is for the upcoming Graffiti Kingdom mobile game.

thanks for filling in the extra history. Don't think the game is leaving japan sadly

 

[Quidd Dude]

Just bought Luna Nights, i've been wanting to play that game for a while and i was waiting for the switch port. I love having an US shop since the normal shop in my country is very lacking, also i pay less so it's all worth it.

AND NOW WE JUST GOT CONFIRMATION THAT A CLASSIC MODE CAN INDEED HAVE MORE THAN 1 SUPER BOSS LET'S GO
DRACULA REMILIA AND MARX FLANDRE INCOMING BOYZ

Man, I really felt Sakurai's pain talking about licensing all that music. Sure would be nice to have a DLC where you got all the music you wanted with a stroke of a single pen, eh, folks?
