All the new characters have insanely good animations

I don't know a thing about fighting games or their quality so I will judge this solely based on how good the sprite work is and its vbery good

I think by this point Reimu would hardly be perturbed by someone more rich and successful than she is.

Good grief, Yukari's new theme gets intense.

She might blame Joon for abandoning her, though. Or Shion for "blessing" her.


Yukari has good taste regarding the SDM crew. Took the best for herself.

Also, it fits her naming theme; Yukari herself is associated with purple and whatnot, as the most powerful Yakumo, Ran blue/indigo, and Chen orange, so she's the one dressed in purple, while Chen gets to be Remilia Scarlet, whose name clearly indicates that she's the lowest and weakest of the group.

Ahahaha, wow, Joon, and Shion too, really are described as "the worst" in their character descriptions. "The Worst, Tough-Luckiest Younger/Elder Twin Sister" (Shion's the elder).

A lot of these are at least partially insulting or negative, really. Besides those two, the two harshest descriptions are "Freewheeling and Haphazard Shrine Maiden" and "Elusive and Two-Faced Youkai", for Reimu and Yukari respectively. The others mostly get at least something positive to go with the negative, but there it's just "yeah, Yukari is a liar and Reimu sucks". I wish they were all at least somewhat negative; comparatively, things like "Phantasmagoric and Shrewd Bake-Danuki" for Mamizou or "Dream-Bestowing Youkai" for Doremy are boring.

The call themselves the worst. They call themselves the "saikyou muteki combi" meaning "the worst, invincible team."

Even Marisa is like: "I don't want to touch these two with a ten foot pole."

Ah, that's interesting.

So, what plot stuff do we know so far? Who teams up with who, if there are canon story teams beyond Joon and Shion? I'm curious about Yukari, Tenshi, and some others. Also curious what Yukari's plot is this time; I hope it's as ridiculous as her past ones.

When you play story mode you choose a team, but those aren't the same teams the enemies will have. Story-wise people are switching partners all the time, and you just happen to play one of teams that existed at one point. Like, Shinmyoumaru explicitly ditches her partner after each loss, and in Marisa's route she deeply regrets being partnered up with Koishi.

Yukari's route is extremely short: she just fights the final boss right away. She's kind of the incident resolver again, although she's often a penultimate boss in other routes. She doesn't really use a partner in story mode (because the partner incident is what she's trying to solve).

And here I was hoping she'd punch Tenshi in the face again in the story route.

Ah. Disappointing, but it also makes sense; as you say, she was that in the past games too, she just had a sillier way of going about it then, i.e. stealing everyone's alcohol and beating up Tenshi for doing what she wanted Tenshi to do in the first place. And actually resolving things by doing that too. Though her just going "alright, this is dumb, I'm ending it" is great in its own way.

The rest is interesting, meanwhile. Makes sense too.

Yukari apparently gets another new theme in this, that includes a remixed bit of Necrofantasia. It's less psychotic-sounding menacing than the previous one, but I like it too.

For pyschotic and menacing, there is a

along with it - reminds me quite a bit of the one from Concealed, the Conclusion.

The Necrofantasia remix (by ZUN) is used in story mode, while Evening Star is only in multiplayer. Same with Tenshi: as a boss she gets a ZUN-arrange of Unknown X as a boss.
