Hokuto posted:On a different note, I've been playing The Genius of Sappheiros lately. I've enjoyed it even with the amount of dickery they throw at the player, but for the first time, the wikia walkthrough hasn't helped me get past a roadblock boss. Tenshi seems to be this giant immutable wall of hit points that is impossible to break. There's not much to do other than spam Dark and Electric attacks, take Drill as a warning for Magnum Stoneshower the next turn, and never, ever use field effects. Reimu's barriers or Alice are pretty much required here. Just try to raise up Earth resistance as much as possible, I think Alice has a skill that can do that in battle as well. As for damage, I'd suggest a combination of Youmu and Byakuren, so that you can make Youmu hit for buffed up dark elemental attacks while also debuffing Tenshi. You'll also either need Marisa or Patchouli to control the land gauge somewhat. It's been a while but I hope this isn't too far off the mark, I remember that's what I did to beat her.

Ammat The Ankh posted:I think the more important question is which Touhou would be the annoying atheist who goes around and snidely remarks on all of the religions? Well, I guess we finally got an answer. The Kappa function as Gensokyo's stereotypical internet atheists. Also explains why they all wear the same hat, fedoras must be hard to find in Gensokyo. So we've got all the religions pretty well covered, but you know what this roster is still missing? The Devil.

My childhood is falling into the land of fantasy. To be fair, the Super Scope has been dead for decades so it's not a big surprise it landed in Gensokyo. Did anyone else play the hell out of this insane Nintendo peripheral or were most of you actually sane during childhood? Battle Clash and Metal Combat were eye-bleedingly good. And by that I mean that your eyes would start bleeding if you played with this thing for too long. A couple images of Nitori rocking a Super Scope have shown up on Pixiv. Not too many though.

Dinky Duck Race posted:Yes I agree a Subterranean Animism rep seems fairly likely right now if Nitori could get in. I think the biggest clue is the lack of Subterranean Animism spectators, which implies the existence of a full SA stage. Whose stage? I have no clue. I never would have predicted Nitori so my predictometer is clearly unreliable. I think Utsuho actually has the lowest chance though. The game seems to be actively avoiding previously playable characters, other than Reimu and Marisa. I mean, who would have expected Sanae to sit out? And, well, given that she's sitting out and Nitori is in, any speculation in terms of "related to religion in some way" seems pretty meaningless to me. If Utsuho ends up in the game, it'll just because the designers wanted her, not because she's a god.

Orin and Yamame both hit up Myouren for selfish reasons, and Yamame probably helped build the temple. Playable Yamame

Satori with a mix-mash of all other players move set and random gauge would be gimmicky as gently caress but awesome.

If the SA crew are going to be in, they HAVE to include Yuugi. She's drat perfect for a fighting game, and if Nitori can make it in, why not her?

(Well, that's what I get for being too vague, I guess.) All I had was Yoshi's Safari but that was interesting enough. I've heard theories of Tenshi or Kasen being playable characters, given their religious backgrounds.

Byakuren's pretty much got a permanent roster slot because she's the best Touhou. The others I can take or leave. I prefer Mokou over Alice except in boss fights, and Youmu is generally better at killing droves of things at once than Sakuya. Satori's pretty fun to use too.

I was going to make joke that Koishi would be an AI driven character even when selected as a PC due to her abilitie to move uncounciously, but no there she is being an actual PC. Besides Yukari/Ran is this the first playable character?

Well, no sense in beating around the bush. The Imaginary Personality - Koishi Komeiji She couldn't remember a thing. Before she knew it, she had joined the crowd. No one noticed her presence. She lived her life day in and day out without any dreams or hopes. But these unusual events caused her to throw down the gauntlet, creating just a tiny change in her daily life. Special Skill: Super Reflexes When the command for heavy melee attacks, heavy projectile attacks and special moves are entered, the move is "set" and will activate will come out automatically when certain conditions are fulfilled such as enemy placement or passage of time. One of each of the three attacks can be set at a time, and an icon will indicate when a move is prepared. Last Word: Brambly Rose Garden Pulls the opponent into a storm of rose danmaku. The roses are unblockable and the suction of the attack will slowly draw them in. If performed within a certain distance, it will forcefully submerge enemies in a sea of roses. By the way, Tasofro's Twitter account said she is the last (non-boss) character.

I prefer Mokou over Alice except in boss fights, and Youmu is generally better at killing droves of things at once than Sakuya. Satori's pretty fun to use too. Mokou can work as a tank in certain areas, but in others Alice's ability to actively protect your other party members make her far more valuable. Little Legion, in particular, is a fantastic panic button for random encounters, topped only by Aya commander + Sakuya's Private Square giving you a 100% fullproof escape route. And really, Sakuya is just legitimately the best character in GoS. Youmu is certainly useful in randoms (I use both Youmu and Sakuya generally, in fact), but if you're just comparing basic attacks, Sakuya easily outpaces her damage, and that's not even counting Slayer effects. If you want to compare skills, then you have to consider that Youmu takes a turn to set up - and really, the first turn of a random encounter is usually the most dangerous, unless you gently caress up immensely. Your realization of Satori's value is commendable however; not many people understand how great her versatility is. She's probably my second favorite character in GoS. She also makes a giant chump out of the expansion's final boss. e: I somehow forgot to mention how loving good Private Square. They actually nerfed it when they released the expansion, and it's still incredibly loving good. e2: One of these days I'll stop being completely put off SSLPs and actually LP GoS.

From what I understood that said that Koishi was the last character to be revealed on the game page. There's no telling if there'll be more characters (excluding new ones) that we'll only find out about when the game comes out.

Volt Catfish posted:What a mess of a roster. What happened to the theme, ZUN? The theme is mostly still there. It's the main characters, the warring factions, Nitori's SCIENCE, and, uh, Koishi's not-caring? Okay it's a bit messy. I'm disappointed in the small number of characters, but seeing some interesting picks like Koishi and Nitori make me happy.
