I just found this incredibly awesome video of a 3D danmaku battle between Yuyuko and Reimu and I don't think its been posted yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Zwrx9a9Lo The creator also made videos of Marisa vs Flandre and Reimu vs Remilia which are just as good.

Why is Momiji so popular? All of the other unimportant midbosses are around the 60's but she almost broke into the top 20. I'm so confused.

TOO SCSI FOR MY CAT posted:Touhou fandom loves characters who take themselves too seriously because it's very easy to make fun of them. And it doesn't hurt that despite being canonically a wolf, Momiji's hair makes her look like a big fluffy Spitz. But does she take herself seriously? As a midboss without dialogue the only thing we know about her is that she and Aya dislike each other and Hatate thinks she's pretty cool. I suppose it's just another example of how the Touhou Fandom basically invents personalities for most of the characters. I'm just more confused about how Momiji is so much more popular than the other midbosses.

Gamerofthegame posted:Weirdo fanartists love dogs and Momiji has report with a already popular character and group. As well as coming from a popular game. I haven't read much of the official works outside of some random chapters of WAHH and Oriental Sacred Place, so i'll take your word for it. I'm pretty sure Koakuma doesn't appear at all outside of crowd shots though. Also, Tojiko is clearly the best dialogue-less Mid-Boss. Because even though Futo killed her she doesn't care at all, since being a ghost is hella cool.

So on a whim I started reading some of the music CD's and the manga's and they're actually surprisingly good. But now i'm upset that Maribel and Renko will probably never appear in the games because they're pretty great.

leather fedora posted:I wouldn't exactly say that... Really? I know that Maribel has an obvious connection to Yukari and that her power would provide an easy explanation for her and Renko to pop up in Gensokyo. But Touhou never really stuck me as having a strong enough emphasis on story to ever have that happen. Or has there actually been some foreshadowing in the games that I have missed? Edit: Also Komachi is kind of badass in the manga's. She's pretty cool. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 14:55 on May 11, 2014 |

gnome7 posted:And the full image is a glorious adventure to look through. This is pretty drat great. But I feel like i've seen this art style before and I don't know where. Also I'm disappointed that Yuyuko isn't a language teacher that speaks entirely in food-based metaphors. (Kokoro has an Iron Man mask  )Edit: Clarste posted:I sort of half-heartedly follow the artist formerly known as Littleshrimp. He/she/it has a fairly bizarre sense of humor, but an nice "intuitive" understanding of the characters that I find interesting. They completely ignore fanon and just go with the impression they got from canon material and end up in a very different place. Desiredriven is probably one of my favorite fanworks even though it doesn't really have anything to do with Touhou, technically. Oh, so that's where i've seen their art before. Is that game worth playing? The character portraits look good but the game itself looks like it could be pretty bland. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 00:55 on May 26, 2014 |

Hashtag Yoloswag posted:It's based on Homestuck, for anyone who hasn't played it but was thinking about it. The puzzle sections won't make any sense unless you've read through that and a lot of the jokes are very Homestuck-y. I knew it was based on Homestuck and i've looked far enough down that rabbit hole to understand the setting and stuff. I just thought that because it was a crossover between Homestuck and Touhou it would be kind of bad. Those two series have some of the more creepy fandoms i've seen but apparently it actually has good characterisation or something. So i'll probably look into it at some point, when i've got nothing better to do. Edit: Clarste posted:I've never actually read Homestuck and just assumed the puzzles made no sense because that was the general atmosphere of the thing. The puzzles don't really make sense in Homestuck either.

If there's a themesong less memorable than that, I can't even remember it well enough to post it here. The worst touhou song is Necrofantasia, if only because its popularity makes it overshadow Evening Star which is a far superior track.

Clarste posted:I would assume there's some sort of constable in the Human Village, and the Tengu have some sort of regimented military state, but neither would have jurisdiction over Gensokyo as a whole. Conflicts between factions are handled by sending Reimu to beat people up. Most of the time you don't even need to send Reimu. She just kind of shows up.

You know, i'm a little disappointed that Scarlet team and Ghost team will probably get less emphasis than the other two teams because although Magic team gets the best line in the game I think Ghost team has the best dialogue overall. I just want to see Yuyuko and Youmu's epic midnight snack tour across the land.

Assuming everything works as intended, as long as she's in her field: I may be wrong about this but I seem to remember that in one of the polls Youmu got the most first place votes even though she didn't end up first or second overall. So perhaps that contributed?

BlitzBlast posted:It might be intentional, because I can't see any other reason to have her break 100% accuracy. Thanks for these. Man everything about FMW 3 looks so good.  But I can't play it because my computer is currently a piece of crap and I find it too difficult to play un-translated games. Anyway, it's probably more suitable to ask this here than in the LP thread, where the discussion began, but did Alice get any improvements? It was mentioned in the LP that she didn't get much improvements in the 2nd game so I was wondering if that was remedied, or if they're saving that for the next (and final?) game. Edit: Damnit, I just understood the reference in the title of Yuyuko's theme. I'm too far down this rabbit hole.

Pureauthor posted:I wonder what FMW4 will cover, and who will be the final, FINAL boss. If I know anything about Touhou fangames (i know nothing) the final boss will either be Grimoire-Alice, or Maribel. 100% guaranteed. I'm just disappointed because i've realised they're probably not going to include Ten Desires. The Taoists would make such good villains.

BlitzBlast posted:FMW4 is slated to cover UFO at the very least. The ending has Mima talking to Probably Shinki so MS is finally getting its show, and Yuuka also chats with Almost Certainly Byakuren so we'll probably get the final Yuuka fight too. It's very likely they'll end up covering TD and HM as well, as they purposefully left Koishi's plot hanging. There's also PoFV, SWR, and maybe HT to throw in there somewhere, and hell who knows we might even get a bonus DDC/ISC scenario for the inevitable special edition. And that's just games; it's entirely possible we'll see cameos of the novel characters in there somewhere. More seriously, I feel like Shinki or Shiki are the most likely final bosses. Probably Shinki though, if only because Komachi doesn't have enough menace to be penultimate boss material. And besides, fighting Satan is an appropriate finale for any RPG. I'm also more hopeful about TD being adapted now. Miko would be the best anime super-villain.

Tenshi is killing ghosts for no reason other than because she's bored and wants to get in a fight. She could use a good lecture to set her straight. Although this could prevent Komachi from giving her best lines, which would be a shame.

BlitzBlast posted:I rewatched the ending to check, and what do you know. Mima tells the person she's talking to that a bunch of people are coming to rescue her. I thought she was talking to Shinki before, but yeah that definitely seals it. Though I don't really know of any other ancient magicians from the outside world so I guess it might be an OC? I hope so. Like I said, Miko would be the best villain. Although, I don't know if she's really powerful enough to be final boss material. She's definitely got the style and personality for it but I don't if she's enough of a threat. I mean, she's not all that strong is she? However, they could just finish the main plot with her and then have Eiki come in to lecture everyone about how they're awful at their jobs and are going to Hell.

Hokuto posted:Just to compare notes, and I don't think it's worth tagging here - Shiro wants to protect Paradise. Going up to the moon is a bad idea because it invites trouble in paradise by poking a hornets' nest. Bringing in modern technology is a bad idea because it disrupts the harmony of paradise. Paradise must be protected and preserved at all costs, and that means eliminating all foreign influences. That word Paradise keeps getting thrown around, so either it's an OC, or it's a character that uses that term. Oh, so Paradise is Gensoukyo and Shiro is somehow the Hakurei Shrine God. Edit: (Don't know whether this speculation should be spoiled but i'll do so just in case) Shiki might also fit as well, I suppose. From what I remember a lot of her lectures are based around how youkai should act like youkai and humans should act like humans, and everyone should just do their drat jobs so that the balance between youkai and humans can be preserved.

Look at it this way, now you've got just enough time to finish LP'ing the rest of the games.  Also, the joke in Yuyuko's song title is that after her demotion to Stage 1 boss in TD it apparently became a joke that in the next game she will be demoted to nameless NPC, which is what 'Person A' refers to.

So Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya barged into Yukari's place, but she was sleeping(Hibernating) at the time. So they beat up Ran and come back a few months later, beat up Yukari so Yukari promises to fix the problem. Hey, if the barrier goes up how will Youmu be able to do the shopping and how will Yuyuko be able to leave to tell everyone obtuse metaphors vaguely related to the current incident?

And even when she is solving incidents she spends her time dicking around and teasing Youmu, and when Youmu is unavailable she just trolls whoever is in the closest vicinity. Yuyuko is the best Touhou.

Yuyuko is heads and shoulders above all other stage 6 bosses in her dedication to trolling the hell out of her subordinate. The only one who even comes close is Eirin, and that's only because I forget whether her teasing of Reisen mostly comes from that non-canon manga.

Clarste posted:Apparently Youmu has developed the defense mechanism of never listening when Yuyuko talks. There's a chapter of CiLR from her perspective and it's pretty much "welp, I have no idea what's going on and I'm sure no one's going to tell me so whatever." Well, it's less "ignore Yuyuko's orders" and more "leave before she can give any orders". And by SWR Yuyuko just lets her run off anyway, she will lecture and make fun of her once she gets back though. Edit: Pureauthor posted:One of my favourite conversations is in IN where Youmu is trying to convince Keine they're just passing through peacefully and Yuyuko is spouting a stream of nonsense that just gets Keine even more annoyed. It's even better because the nonsense is in fact one of Yuyuko's obtuse metaphors about how she's already figured everything out and probably could have avoided all of this if she didn't want to ruin Youmu's day. Ghost team has the best dialogue.

Dr Pepper posted:I don't think you can say this when Magic Team exists. Magic Team may have the two best lines in the game but Ghost Team is consistently the greatest. If only because of Yuyuko's constant trolling of Youmu and everyone around her, despite it becoming increasingly clear that she has somehow figured out everything about IN's plot. However, Magic team is indeed the best in SA. Reimu and Suika come close though, purely because of the Yuugi fight. Edit: Marisa and Patchouli is pretty great as well, just because of how unhelpful Patchouli is and how she doesn't even bother to explain to Marisa what's going on until the final boss.
