Not that he's the only man, so much that he's a man who likes collecting stuff and has no real powers outside being a really good appraiser. He can't fly. He can't blow shit up. He just wants to stay in his house, sell enough stuff to get by, and work on his own personal projects. He's one of the most relateable because he's the most "human", I guess, not only because he has a Y chromosome.

Though in my case, that Y chromosome sure does help matters.

It's not really a matter of being melee in a ranged game. Aya's not exactly the queen of projectiles and she still turned out well. Remi focuses more on melee and she's very good. Either way, I'm hoping there will be better balance and that my favorite character turns out to be good.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9831743
the thing with Aya is that her mid ranges are good enough to reduce any distance and Remi can jump-sprint demon craddle anything and still have long range support.

whereas meiling had... nothing to support her actually quite fun melee game.

heck, once I played against a melee only marisa and I believe I had the most fun with meiling. soku had a lot of potential there, totally wasted.

Holy balls stop using that.

After repeated cataclysms, gripped by the terror of being helpless before them, the Human Village became pessimistic.

A dark atmosphere began to swirl around it. However, they did not despair. No matter what they did, they were used to being bound by the closeness of an unchanging future.

"Ain't it great!"

I wonder who was the first to utter that phrase; as all who heard that voice began to feel the same.
That's right, nothing changes so whatever happens is fine, right?
That's right, a more epheremal existence is just fine.
Gradually the Human Village released their inhibitions, while simultaneously discarding order.

There were those who saw the situation differently; the Religionists. They thought about the best way to grasp the people's hearts through the disorder. Naturally, in restoring order, they saw an opportunity in gaining faith.

The priest who built her temple in Gensokyo. The Daoist who cast off off worldly desires to aim for immortality, and the shrine maiden who aims for rehabilitation. These girls have decided that this time is "my turn".

Now, with every weapon of your faith, scramble for popularity in this charming struggle!

I disagree with this.

As someone who does play fighting games competitively, lack of character variety would only be due to bad balance, and even then many times there will be a large amount of character variety. Playing a game to win also does not automatically make it unfun and uninteresting, from our viewpoint people who just mash their face on the controller and use no strategy or game knowledge are the "uninteresting" ones.

I'm not saying tourneyplay is like that, it's more of that's how it tends to be perceived by some people. Even though I'm not very good, watching people play well is really interesting since they can pull off tons of fancy tricks that some guy that just started can't pull. Of course, having those same tricks pulled on you can be really frustrating if you're a new guy and the struggle to improve feels futile since those good players get better as well.

[Anonymous No.]

You realize that this type of fighting game is competitive by design, since you're playing against your opponent, right? People who complain about "tourneyfags" are really just sore losers. They should just find other people who are as bad as they are and ignore those "competitive" players.

Byakuren, Miko, and Kanako are all faced off against each other, much like the final showdown in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Everyone else including Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae, are watching from the sidelines, dreading what will happen. They know the religious war will tear Gensokyo apart.
The combatants ready themselves, and start casting their most powerful spells... it seems as if all hope is lost.

Suddenly, Mima busts through the ground where they're standing, knocking them all off of their feet (and rendering them unconscious at the same time). Grinning, she shouts, "THE GOD OF THE HAKUREI SHRINE IS BACK, BITCHES!"

Byakuren, Miko, and Kanako are all knocked out.
Reimu is all like, "oh god no not her again".
Marisa is squealing happily and saying "OMFG MIMA-SAMA IS BACK" over and over again.
And Sanae? Sanae is thinking, "I don't know who she is, but I really like her hair!"

And then everyone looks at Yuuka, and then they turn and look at the Yuuka who had been standing there, and she pulls of a mask, revealing herself to be Mima.
"Surprise! I've been here aaaaall along!"

Then Mima and Yuuka kick everyone's butts (except Alice, who earlier, fainted from emotional and mental trauma at seeing Yuuka and Mima in the same place) and high-five each other.

If you're on a budget the 8400 or the 210 are more than enough to run a touhou fighting game.
For 15 bucks it actually cost less than eating out for dinner, and you likely wont need to upgrade from your stock PSU. Though if you do plan on being able to play anything more than that, you can get a 9800GT for $50 which is exactly what i'm running right now on this poor rig and i'm playing Planetside 2 and Borderlands 2 flawlessly. Great card but its one of those "Well if you're gonna drop enough money for that, might as well pull out a little more to get this card instead, well if you're gonna pull out THAT much, might as well get--" and so on.

I think Rinnosuke fighting with the Kusanagi and other paraphernalia he has gathered would make me cum with forces even greater than that of a thousand suns. Even more so if he used stuff in completely wild ways, like, say there's counters in the game, and he grabs the opponent's arm with one hand and crushes her nose with a NDS with the other.
Although, even in the miraculous event of him showing up, he'd never be a fighter. Even I acknowledge that'd be awkward as hell.

Pretty much this. I don't get everyone saying [favorite touhou] is going to be in it. With Marisa, Reimu and two characters from every religious fraction we already have 8 characters. And chances are there won't be that many more characters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9839619

Even when it comes to the religious factions some people are nervous. Hell, my favorite character would fit extremely well in the game's story and I'm worried she won't make it in. Having to wait for the roster of a game like this is killing me, I want to find out already.

[Anonymous No.]

playable Hijirin and Sanae will be good enough for me. even better if Nitori and/or Hina, but not getting my hopes up.

Seiga might be interesting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9839619
The previous threads had lots of realistic predictions. Most are just hopeless desires.

I'm more curious about the new system mechanics right now. The 3 screenshots we've seen already show a lot of new stuff. Even adding something as simple as a timer is huge.

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

>>9839141

I predict that the entire boss ensemble (and maybe some mid-bosses too) of UFO and TD to be in, the obvious Reimu/Marisa combo, Kanako, Suwako, and Sanae too. Outside of those, I can only see Mima or Shinka being viable returning additions since the Hakurei Shrine is clearly involved, and thus far no patron deity has been introduced for it in the Windows canon. We all know about Shinki's attack appeared as one of Byakuren's spell card, something about "Devil's Recitation" when translated. I would speculate that one of those two will actually make the roster, though which one I couldn't tell you. My hunch is leaning more towards Shinki, but it could swing either way. Beyond all those characters, I think we can only expect new characters to pop up.

This is all I can expect with respect to the known theme of the game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9840883
even though shinki's an actual, creator level god she got retconned along with mima, so i doubt either will appear.

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

>>9840899

Alice and Yuuka were retconned in, along with implied references to their original games. I don't see how Mima and Shinki couldn't be included too, especially considering both have been alluded to in various dialogues.

[None !FIreFlyLqM No.]

>>9840911
Aren't Alice and Yuuka two of his favorite characters though?

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

>>9840927

I've heard that's the case. Still, I also don't think it's a coincidence that he decided to name the game "Shinkirou". That's why I have a hunch he'll reintroduce Shinki in this one. Considering what happened after her attack appeared in UFO, I think he'd be remiss to do that to his fanbase again. He knows what would happen if he did.

[None !FIreFlyLqM No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>9840883
Shinki is already a Makai entity, she has nothing to do with the Hakurei Shrine. I understand you feeling your bones screams since Mima was the "evil spirit of the shrine" and was sealed inside the same, but Shinki is a stretch.

[BasementFlan !fOS0n8t2CY No.]

>>9841154
This gives me hope that Mima will be in this game, since in one or two of her descriptions mention her being "the deity-like existance" of the shrine...

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

>>9841154

I think you misunderstood what I said. I didn't say Shinki had anything to do with Hakurei, she has everything to do with Myouren due to her presumed link with Byakuren. That's why I said she's likely. Mima's the one with the connection to Hakurei, but she's probably less likely to be in than Shinki is.

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

Mima has the strong advantage of not being in Makai, and not being its ruler. And any link between Shinki and Byakuren is probably no more than them being acquainted, with Shinki probably teaching her danmaku.

[Reisen's Husbando No.]

>>9841472

I can't deny that, I just think that the currently-weighed evidence favors a possible Shinki return over a Mima return. If more information comes along that favors Mima, I'll be inclined to change my speculative opinion. Lol

Since it's about the human village, I imagine Miko and Byakuren will be in the game. Keine also does a lot in the human village, so it wouldn't be a surprise if she was a part of it too.

I want Nue, Satori, and Shikieiki to be a part of it too, but it's not likely.

Doesn't have to be written the same way. ZUN's known for plays on words and the ways they can be written, and also for tons and tons of references. I'd say within those contexts, it's enough to suggest the possibility of Shinki being in, which is what I'm saying. I still figure that if there will be any PC-98 characters reintroduced, it's either her or Mima.

If Mima ACTUALLY came back, the chaos and destruction it would unleash would be so great, the waves of madness and ecstasy spreading uncontrollably through virgins across the globe, freeing them from the oppressive and all-mighty grasp of uncertainty, that the power of the convoluted emotions stocked inside our bones for so many years would surely crush mercilessly the skeletons in the body of every living being in the planet.

ZUN knows this, and that's why we will never have Mima back. We'll just keep feeling it in your bones, lingering, waiting for a chance to come out and weave it's widespread obliteration.

He got married, the three fairy comic ended... and many questioned if he was going to have time to even work on games in his now married life.

ZUN answered it by revealing this.

Besides, Scarlet Weather Raphsody also had a VERY LONG wait time too. It was announced on Tasofro in early 2007 , then later revealed at Reitaisai in April of 2007. A demo followed at Summer Comiket of 07'. Then eventually at Reitaisai of 08' the full game was released.

>>9852814
Well, it's not like it couldn't have a good competitive scene even if they weren't all balanced, so long as it wasn't dominated too hard by too few. I mean, Melty's fine with it's 96 or whatever characters, even though there's no point to play certain moons of many characters. With the experience they've already had and what they're working with, making them unique should come pretty naturally. And of course, just like 12.3, they can patch in some balance changes as they need to.

[Anonymous No.]

With new sprites and system and everything I highly doubt soku will be any indication of who will be in it. Beyond the the known standbys and Miko (plus some helpers? I'd love to see Seiga with the ability to summon dat jiang-shi, or Mononobe) and Byakuren (plus some helpers, I'm hoping for Shou but Nue would be neat too) it's hard to speculate who will be in it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's almost entirely MoF and beyond characters though. And for the purposes of balance it's probably a good thing not too have too many. Kanako, Suwako, and Sanae are all possible. Tenshi could represent for Confucianism. Maybe some folks from SA representing for sun/earth spirit worship? Utsuho, Sanae, Koishi, Yuugi, perhaps. That's a grand total of 16 and is a nice roster, IMHO.

So long as Miko and Byakuren make it in, nothing else matters.

That sound decent, actually. I'm expecting somewhere around the 12-16 area. Even though I'm worried about if my favorite character will make it in, I'm also curious about the mechanics. Flying seems pretty different this time around. Not only that, it seems like there's less bullets flooding the screen. I wonder if there will be more emphasis on actual bullet dodging rather than dashing through to graze them, but I guess it's hard to say when the game is so far away.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9849956
Random jap here, I can confirm that.
I'd also like to add that in the last few lines he's saying that personally, he'd like to release some gameplay footage next, but he's also (jokingly) afraid that people would be like "why the hell are you making that kind of game" after seeing the game in motion.

Maybe this means the game mechanics are going to be pretty unorthodox (at least more so than the last game), and I've seen some japs speculate it's about the flight system; it might be confirming that the game is going to be like Psychic Force (or the last battle in Sanae's storyline in soku), with little to no grounded fighting at all.
