New ZUN art > AoCF art > Hisoutensoku art > Old ZUN art

Probably just me but considering there's a lot more character originating from the bullet hell game than the fighting game could we put more emphasis on the ZUN art? I'll probably shift Old ZUN art after the new art. I mean you and Sharklord focuses too much on making EoSD as an example when even 2 games later or as soon as the next entry the art already look decent.

this is literally from the 7th and 8th entry in the series. "Old ZUN art" sounds more vague (if we draw DDC as the middle point) and yet odd generalization for "bad-looking ZUN art".


Anyways, have a Cirno and more!

	Cirno (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) (Art: Double Dealing Character) Class: Novice Type: Support Attack (1 Slots) Effect: Can be enhanced at Lvl. 99 Puppet Fighter: Ice Climbers Stage: Smashville Music Track: Match: Stock (1) Conditions: The enemy's Water and Ice attack have increased power

	Clownpiece (Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) Class: Ace Type: Support Attack (2 Slots) Effect: Unflinching Charged Smashes Puppet Fighter: Mario Stage: Lylat Cruise Music Track: Match: Stock (1) Conditions: The enemy start the battle with a Star Rod Controls will suddenly flipped The enemy is easily distracted by items (star-shaped)

As far as I know that design of Ran Yakumo is her latest appearance within the ZUN games, and she doesn't appear in either Hisoutensoku and AoCF, then feel free to use that one as it fits within the guidelines. As for Yuyuko, she has appeared in both the 8th and 13th game and does have art from there, she too doesn't appear in Hisoutensoku or AoCF, so if we shifted the middle point earlier then the Touhou 13 (or even 8) art is still the one we'd preferably use. The guidelines are just there to help people (who might not be too familiar and get overwhelmed) with what art to choose for certain characters.

A thing I forgot to mention and will edit in the announcement post shortly, is that we could make certain exceptions for certain characters, like the Scarlet Sisters for example. If we go by the guidelines then Remilia would use Hisoutensoku and Flandre would use EoSD. Which would be... quite the switch if you put the character artworks next to each other. So for coherence's sake, I believe adding in old ZUN art of Remilia would be fine to match with Flandre (again, as an example).

As Touhou has a ton of games withing its library, it's okay to make exceptions for characters. If you want to make an exception for a certain character, just note the reasoning as to why within your Spirit Submission post so the Spirit Team can take that into account.

Gotta say, whoever wins, I love how people stayed in character for their leaks. It was super fun to read all of them.

 

[SharkLord]

As for Yuyuko, she has appeared in both the 8th and 13th game and does have art from there, she too doesn't appear in Hisoutensoku or AoCF

She actually does, just only in the multiplayer. Hisoutensoku can be linked to the previous fighter, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, to be used as an expansion pack, allowing fighters from both games to be used together. I mainly chose Hisoutensoku first because everyone has art there and it's easier to mention the latest ground fighter by default.

For reference, this is her Hisoutensoku artwork

The submission period has already passed, we're voting now.

Also the prompt was only for 1st Party characters, so Cuphead would not be eligible regardless.

Oh must of seen the announcement a page late, I hate it when in happens, either way I'm okay with that, I mainly was obsessed with Cupehad because I had an epic idea for classic mode

That's fine, they said it was for first party and there wasnt anyone I could really make a good leak, Virtual Boy my other choice was too ridiculous for a leak and you need a sense believability to it, the main reason I chose Cuphead was because I had an epic Classic Mode, was probably going g to post it in the Cuphead Support Thread or something.

"Howard. I assume you're ready for your next case?"

"..."​

"What? Your reveal was leaked? This is quite a development."

"...!"
​

Spoiler: Full results

Officer Howard Arrives on the Scene!

Hailing from Nintendo and PlatinumGames's collaboration project, Officer Howard from Astral Chain will be the next newcomer to join Super Smash Bros. Infinite! Though their reveal was unfortunately leaked by the hacker 4 chan, they will nonetheless be arriving on the scene of the crime and dealing with abberations in Smash Bros.

Thank you to everyone who submitted! Based on feedback from the form, it looks like the ranked voting method went really well! Please stay tuned for the next job!!

 

[chocolatejr9]

Can we at least call them Legionis? That's what they're called in the game...

 

[Commander_Alph]

Damn, never thought my submission is ranked 2nd I'm already satisfied with that alone, probably going to skip this one because I don't know **** about Astral Chain which not really my cup of tea.

 

[airConditioner]

I wouldn't be opposed to it, the only one I am opposed to is Akira Howard

 

[Commander_Alph]

So Akira Howard.. I'm guessing they are stand user.

 

[warpenguin55]

I don't have much of an issue with that. Officer Howard is a bit of a long winded name

Just call them Howard, easy

 

[chocolatejr9]

Just call them Howard, easy

But then people will make Todd Howard jokes.

cue Sweet Little Lies in the background

 

[Commander_Alph]

Calling them Howard is pretty efficient so that everyone won't refer to them as Akira (and stopping airConditioner from getting offended everytime someone utter that name)

 

[Adrianette Bromide]

Welp I'll slink back for this one (again)

I think Officer Howard has a nice ring to it. Just saying Howard implies their first name is Howard but having their title will specify that Howard is indeed their surname and not their given one.

Don't plenty of Officers go by their first name, though?

 

[SharkLord]

Personally, I prefer using the term Legionis. It's a title rather than a name, in the same vein as Pokemon Trainer, Villager, and Inkling. Officer Howard is a bit long, and as others have mentioned, Howard implies that's their first name. Legionis is short, distinctive, and snappy, and I think it would work the best.

I get Pokemon Trainer but using Villager and Inkling is kinda a miss since for Inkling they are a species with no given name (other than Agent [Number] and the unique looking ones) whilst we usually refer to the animals as villager technically we are also a villager (pretty meta, I know)

 

[Adrianette Bromide]

Whatever the answer is, let's just all agree not to go this route.

Hero is by far the worst name I have ever seen been given to a character, let's not repeat that xD.

I mean the Japanese fanbase is already used to calling them Hero (more specifically Yuusha which sounds much cooler, it's just the translation that makes it generic)

Time to find out what is real and what is LEAKBAIT!!!!

In truth, the leaker was pretty much on the spot but not entirely from what we found out during the character reveal. The leaker did get some things right but, sadly, missed on a few things. But what exactly did they not get right in the leak?

Let's break down the leak, shall we?

View attachment 321182

>Akira Howard from Astral Chain is a newcomer.

Mainly fights using the X-Baton. Baton form normally used for tilts, Gladius form for Smash attacks.
A high-mobility fighter with variable range.
Only uses the Sword Legion, functions similarly to Rosalina & Luma.
Swaps between controlling Akira and Legion on the fly.
Comes with two alts: male and female. Colors also change the Legion. Yes, Evangelion reference color included.
Three stages coming: District 09, The Astral Plane, and Neuron HQ.
Lappy and Kyle are both Mii Costumes.
Jena Anderson appears as an Assist Trophy.
Homunculus Δ is a new Boss Sphere.

>Reveal trailer ends with a tease for the next character. I believe it to likely be a Warframe rep thanks to certain hints.

Crossed out portions are ineligible for voting to commit it as a leakbait. Firstly, because Akira or whatever we decided to name them, is our next confirmed newcomer. Secondly, the rules stated that this leak is only for one character. While Warframe would be pretty sick, we can't commit to adding a Warframe character based on the previous rules. Our next character prompt will have no bearing on the previous leaks.

We will be conducting a Google Forms poll to identify what were the fake leaks in the Akira leak. What was true and what was fake. In the forms, there are 3 sections: Gameplay/Appearance. Stages, and Additional Content. The winner of each is the leakbait while the loser is, well, the true content that will appear. Kind of mixed up but it should all work out. Identify what was the leakbait content in the Akira leak and what will actually be revealed.

Gameplay/appearance

• X-Baton
• High-Mobility
• Sword Legion Only
• Swaps between Akira and Legion
• Two alts
• Evangelion colors

Stages (winner will be our Astral Chain stage rep)

• District 09
• Astral Plane
• Neuron HQ

Additional Content

• Kyle and Lappy Mii Costumes
• Jena Anderson Assist Trophy
• Homunculus Greek Triangle Boss Sphere

You can vote for each leakbait content here on Google Forms.

Feel free to discuss the nature of the Akira leak.

We are also interested in how to you liked the little deviation from our typical formula.

Would you like to see leak-based submissions again in the future?

Feel free to brainstorm on how the ASTRAL CHAIN Protag could possily play. We won't be going into moveset submissions quite yet but feel free to bounce ideas off from one another.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

How does this work? Does it even function? (Am I allowed to reveal my votes? It's just to show I have no clue what to do anyway)

 

[airConditioner]

As much as I would like an Astral Chain boss be a Homunculus, I would personally prefer any of the previous Homunuli:

Homunculus α: Attached to the ceiling, forcing the player to constantly dodge attacks
Beta: Quadruped form, highly mobile
Gamma: Biped form, evolves from Beta, jumps into the background to attack
Delta: Just two arms smashing the player and platforming...
