/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm okay with that

There's probably more than one stage, Anonymous.

>>10233377
Actually that's pretty nice, story irrelevant characters are still having a presence while not disturbing the game which will please their fans at least a bit

Does that mean that Sakuya won't be playable if she is in the background? ;_;

>>10233425
Exactly

ENJOY your Sanae

and maybe Youmu

Demo when?

There better be Okuu in it.

>>10233377
Is Remilia outside in the sunlight or does she have an umbrella or something?

>>10233546
She is under a tree.

You never know, they could make it so that any characters being used do not show up in the background. Happens in a lot of fighters.

>>10233377
Supposing this is a legit screencap, it's an answer to my prayers. With so many characters, ZUN had to go the CAPCOM/SNK route of adding most of them to the background. I'm glad he did it.

>>10233637
You know that game is made by tasogare frontier?
I don't think ZUN had much influence except for the story.

>>10233637
I'll be pissed if Parsee isn't in any of the backgrounds.

>>10233377
Did Marisa color her hair?

>>10233637
ZUN probably only did the music and with some luck an original character, i don't think he did much more than that.

>>10233680
The Hakurei goddess will awake and be the last boss. My bones can't lie.

>>10233670
she had red hair in th2
but I'm colourblind so what do I know

>>10233688
I hope your bones are right.

We have new screenshots?

>>10233377
sauce on that screenshot?

>>10233708
OP is not one of the original screenshots, but I cannot figure its origin. It can be a fake.

>>10233792
Either way it made me realize how much I love Marisa's facial expression in her portrait.

It's real, check out
http://www.tasofro.net/cgi-bin/tasoblo/index.html

>>10233806
Google-san tells me that there will be character customization (similar to the way the cards worked). Which makes me happy.

>>10233698
half of his bones are left though

>>10233846
Those ones are probably hoping for Shinki.

>>10233854
>>10233688
Just play M.U.G.E.N instead.

Mima is shit
wish for a better 2hu to come back
like Yuuka or Eiki
fuckin nerds

>>10233825
>similar to the way the cards worked
YES!
The spellcard system had so much potential but was ruined by the fact that the cards were random

>>10233377
Is that Yumeko in the background?

Did SHINKI come to support her good friend Byakuren?

>>10233922
I think those are just random maids.

>>10233932
FAIRY maids

>>10233688
Once again, Mima is confirmed as the last boss until proven otherwise.

Praying for an underground stage so I can at least see certain girls appearing again who never would otherwise.

>>10233932
I think those are Meiling and Flandre dressing a maids

>>10234606
ZUN doesn't pander to the public like this. Meiling will be by the gate, Flandre on the basement.

Da fuk is this?

>>10234637
New 2hu fighter.

>>10234642
Oh, I see.
I should really get around to playing the other one.

>>10234637
get out newfag

>>10234661
You can't make me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbFyYb6y9PU

It now looks like even less of a fighting game than SWIRR. I'm almost impressed.

>>10233870
Most people do not really want Mima and they just say it because it's a forced joke.

oh neat. The dark brown in Marisa's hair is in the shape of an "M". She's getting creative.

>>10234682

>>10233688

MUH BONES
When did this "FEEL IN MY BONES" thing start anyway? I only remember it in the threads after the announcing of Ten Desires

Anyone figured out how the "yes", "no" and "whatever the fuck" on the healthbars work yet?

Is Zun making new music for this? I hope at least the final boss theme will be an original

>>10234716
Probably yes. That's the only part where he participates in the fighters, so it would be weird to not have new originals themes composed by ZUN.

>>10234706
I'm still trying to figure out why it's exclusively aerial combat and yet still called a fighting game.

"What was one of the major complaints about SWR?"
"Probably the flying, sir."
"I know, for this new game, let's have everyone fly all the time!"
"Brilliant as always, boss."
"By the way I fucking hate IaMP."

>>10234719
Touhou fighters where never actually normal fighting games, dude.

>>10234719
I just hope they'll instead add the option to choose between the new aerial combat fighting or the original way.

It will be shit, but I'll play it anyway.

>>10234857
spoken like a true 09er

it will have achievements and dlc

>>10233425
In Street Fighter 4 there is a stage where Vega is in the background, however if the player selects him then Balrog will take his place in the background, and if someone is playing both of them, then Bison will be there.

They could either do something like that, or since there is a crowd of people there it wouldn't be too crazy to just remove sakuya or whoever else when they are being played.

>>10234708

It's a common enough phrase.

>>10234938
Don't post Sanae while saying such horrible things.

>>10234837
there's no way they're writing two separate game systems for this thing

I wonder if the backgrounds will serve any purpose or not. Also; was the entire blog post translated? It had some stuff about netplay too.

>>10235281
No netplay in the demo.
Audience will be involved in some fashion. Like a 'pro-wrestling game'. (Maybe they give items or something?)
No decks. You have to choose your spell cards. However, there is a character-building system.
Spell cards are not only for supers, they offer other benefits.

>>10235346
>Audience will be involved in some fashion. Like a 'pro-wrestling game'.
Since there appears to be some kind of opinion/argument system (?) maybe the audience will support one of the two players depending on who they agree/disagree with? Not sure how this support would work though, could be items like you said, or power-ups or other benefits.

>>10235376
The story of the game revolves around getting followers for a faction, so maybe you impress the audience with combos and spells and the hp bar is actually a "faith bar".
Maybe you regain it by pulling of certain things

>>10235376
I imagine 2 characters fighting and Yukari randomly throws in some trains that they have to dodge. It would be fun that way.

Hopefully we'll get Yuuka in.

If the audience does play part in some way, it would be interesting if it would be harder to win the audience support based on where you are, who you play as etc. For example it would be easier for humans to win the trust and support on the human village stage.

>>10235477
If you can't turn that off, the game will be shit

>>10234693
>dark brown

You are color blind right? If not I have bad news for ye...

>>10235783
>You are color blind right?
I am, please no bully.

>>10235477

Now that you mention that, it would be extremely easy to make Smash Bros style stages in a Touhou fighter. Like a nuclear reactor where Utsuho notices the intruders and attacks them, a Misty Lake where Cirno is freezing frogs and can freeze the players, or a Youkai Mountain where Aya can blast people off and kappa suddenly pop up from the water to grab people.

Though I guess half of Japan's population would die in the catastrophe that would follow.

>>10235555
it would be poor design for your character/stage choices to make the fight lean one way from the get go. The system is likely based on your own actions. It might even be interesting if during parts of the fight doing _x_ would net you some kind of modest boon, as it would force you to change your perception of risk/reward.

why is everyone whining about the flying? you already spend most of the round flying in marvel.

A blue master spark? How boring.

>>10236150
Yeah and look how marvel turned out.

>>10235798
I know your pain.

>>10236150
Completely freefloating and high jumping coupled with air dashing are completely different.

I won't lose hope until the very end.

Sakuya-san ;_;

>>10236171
I thought it was love colored.

i hope Momiji, Yuugi, Kogasa, Murasa, Byakuren, Nue, Ibaraki, Futo and Miko will be the new playable character of this game.

also i can`t wait for official new character since that catfish from Hisoutensoku is bullshit.

>>10236917
Shanghai doll can fire a blue laser. Maybe it's the case here.

>>10236917
Clever.
I'm worried with this game trying that many gimmicks, I just wanted a Megaman fighter with hi-res sprites.

>>10237554
Catfish-dono is not bullshit!

>>10237600
in IamP, Suika is the official character and she is the best.

in SWR, Iku and Tenshi is the official character and they both rocks

then on Hisoutensoku, that catfish is really Bullshit! he is not attractive at all.

TH12.3 Hisoutensoku is one of the touhou game biggest failure ever!

I wonder if ZUN entertained even for a moment the idea of making the catfish into a girl.

>>10237641
It'd be stranger for him to not.

>>10233377
>no Meiling in the background
CHINA CONFIRMED FOR SUPER STREET DANMAKU 4 HYPER EVO EDITION

>>10233806
Cat confirmed for final boss, Mima ditched due to time and budget constraints.

Will we ever get IaMP 2? I still regret missing out on IaMP so much. Seeing its gameplay and skill ceiling compared to UNL made me depressed< and now IaMP is too dead to be worth learning ;_;

>That stunned and invulnerable combo resetter state thing

Hisouten looks like more of a fighting game than this.

I never honestly thought I'd be saying that ever.

>>10239183
>>10239254

Yeeeah.. this just looks like a 2D Sky Arena

God fucking damnit Tasofro. Where the fuck did you go so wrong

>>10239308
i won't judge it until i get to play the demo

Unzan confirmed.

>>10239337

I dunno man. This is a pretty detailed gameplay video. Things don't look good

>>10239308
They only made two good games, EFZ and IaMP. I'd say they've been wrong from the start, and just got lucky with those two.

>>10239339
hoenn confirmed

>>10239350
Things look great, I don't see what all the negative outlooks are for.

>>10239357
People who have invested time playing the fighters competitively are understandably worried.

>>10238993
well, the music and artwork in the beginning were great at least

>>10239357

The skill ceiling just looks extremely low. Like, Mario Party-tier low

It's just really depressing because I want a touhou fighter that can be easy to learn yet hard to master. High skill floor and low skill ceiling games guarantee that a game will die quickly because all the players will get bored easily

>>10239157
wait. You're right they're invulnerable too. What the hell?

>>10239418
What makes the game so easy, and how do you know this if you've never actually played the game?

Guarantee I already know what're going to say next and that it's going to irritate me to no end, especially using /v/ lines like "-tier".

>>10239418
People are going to be bored quickly anyways due to no netplay in the demo. Going to have to wait quite a while before people are interested again. And by that time a lot of people will be jaded and not try it out at all.

>>10239157
SWR has the same thing. Its just the limit ring with a confusing special effect.


>>10239392
And those people have known for a long time that this isn't a traditional fighter. Tasofro said this is similar to Astra allstars and is the kind of game they wanted to make from the start.

Astra allstars is shit though.

>>10239450
>Astra allstars is shit though.
Just like Tasofro!

Perfect fit!

>>10238993
v_v

>>10239440
>looks
Learn to read, please.

>>10239440
He said "looks." As in, the game looks easy.
Learn to read, please.

>>10238993
It doesn't look too bad, but I dislike how they kept the stupid limit feature for combos. It feels like the laziest way possible to prevent infinites and really prevents anyone from finding an interesting combo

IaMP/SWR both had extremely easy and boring combos so I assume this will be the same way

>>10239531
>really prevents anyone from finding an interesting combo
Have you even seen any soku combo videos?
Impractical? Impressive? Both yes.

They're worlds more beautiful looking than the same looping ~3 hits then super/infinites you'll see everywhere else.

>>10239476
Gensokyo must be a really fun place.

>Marisa uses a spell card
>could easilly be avoided

>Reimu just hold left and takes no damage
>Less than a tenth of a second recovery time from defense while marisa has an hallf a second animation

Seriously, I can't play these games because I've always won by doing Defend-Mashcombo-defend-mashcombo-defend-mashcombo with no extra thought. Defending blocks EVERYTHING

>flying
>no cards

you trying to trick me across boards

>>10239547
They are simple and easy, any "impressive" one is only impressive because they abuse a weather effect which is already a silly mechanic on its own.

>>10239547
>They're worlds more beautiful looking than the same looping ~3 hits then super/infinites you'll see everywhere else.

All three of them are there, Yukari on the shrine, Ran and Chen standing together to the right of the pavement.
Unless you're talking about playable characters.

>>10239696
Is something the matter?

Anyone has a translation for what is written at the bottom in the intro?

>>10239724

What? No. I just found it very humorous

>>10239711
>>10239712

Fuck this shit! not playing, the flying aspect is shit too they should've made it like AH3

Sassy red/white miko who don't need no youkai.

I love Star's animation in the background, and the gameplay doesn't seem bad. Still curious about how all the meters and everything affect the game, but I guess we'll find out in two weeks if the world doesn't end today.

Also, animations for the beginning and end of rounds! Took you long enough, Tasofro. Maybe you'll even include taunts this time since there's no ground for us to spam crouch on this time.

>>10239693
>>10239786
Who the hell are you guys quoaoing

Stun seems kind of scary, but plenty of games have pulled it off before.

People that are complaining about constant flight might feel better to know that there are already decent games that do this. Acceleration of Suguri comes to mind, which was even accepted by the more serious fighting game crowd.

>>10239550
Using a special with a punishable recovery when you don't know if it will hit is a mistake in the first place in the first place. Good players don't do that.

>>10239678
Shocking.

>>10239765
Fanservice: the game.

At the very least, the lower right/left meters seem to be the rough equivalent of spirit orbs

reimu still jailbait?

By the way, who made the sprites?

>>10239790
Can't wait for Byakuren's knockers flying all over the place.

>>10239811

>Alphes

I like how everybody is being mangled to death at the intro.

Now that I watched it again they're just using stun as the equivalent of a knockdown, which makes sense. As long as they don't introduce any silly tech mechanics this may be closer to a traditional fighter than some people think.

It is kind of unclear though, in the last part of the round Reimu whiffs a projectile through Marisa while she is in stun but then activates a special and the hits count with the existing combo string. There are several possible explanations but I guess the demo will be out soon enough so we can just see for ourselves.

>this game looks that really sucks even before release the demo.
what

They just needed to upgrade 12.3 to make a good game. They didn't need to make a complete different game. This new game looks so forgetteable, we will play it just for one week as much...

>>10239902

Speak for your fucking self, asshole.

>>10239902
No, /jp/ isn't a single entity represented by your dumb ass.

>>10239910
It can't be helped if he can see the future.

Characters being in the background doesn't exclude them from being playable. Though I'd rather have new characters be given a chance.

>>10239954
yuuka pls

>>10239954
True, Suwako being a Sanae ability didn't stop her from being a playable character on her own.

>>10234719
That's funny, this game is looking a lot like it is taking on concepts from IaMP to me. What exactly do you people like so much about spellcard declaration outside of boss-fights anyways? It just makes it a lot less dynamic and ruins the surprise of characters suddenly busting out one of their dozen supers

And since when was flight a major complaint? Most complaint was all about the weather and randomness.

It doesn't look bad, but come on, no bloomers for Reimu? It's silly to complain about but it still upsets me.

>>10239550
watch it again. it looks to me like reimu did some kind of instant guard on the startup.

>>10239893
lmco?

These sprites aren't silly enough.

>>10239811
Reimu is cute.

>>10239954
I hated the Umineko fighting game so much and mostly because the characters would never shut their fucking mouth.

>>10233430
Fiendish LIES

Looks like SF to be honest.

>>10239765

Look at her legs.

Amazing.

I hope Wriggle is playable... she's my favorite.

Whoever made those sprites should get a lewdness medal.

>>10242904

Holy fuck, I just realized something.

If Sanae is in this game (and she should be) her skirt will be even shorter.

I hope Zun will tell tasofro to either add visible bloomers to everyone or fuck off.

>>10242892
>>10242904
>>10242906
Stop please!

>>10242748
well yeah

all the punching and stuff was just metaphors for arguments

>>10242927
Imagine Nue joining the Buddhists and being playable. Uncontainable lewdness.

>>10242941

>>10234719
My only problem with SWR was the bullshit weather system. Flying is much closer to the main series.

>>10243015

This. SWR's main problem was the lack of "turn off weather" option.

Wanting a normal ground based fighter in a setting where everybody is flying pretty much all the time is just stupid.

Besides, IaMP wasn't even all that good either. Only the hardcore fighting games retards liked it. And they are pretty much the worst community in existence.

>>10243023
Iamp and soku both are hardly a part of the normal games in the fighting game community. I've been to probably 15 large tournaments and never seen either.

>>10242941

Unlikely. But would be great.

These new sprites are really sexy. I bet her ZR would look great.

>>10242906
i like how the fairy maids have skirts up to their knees but sakuya's stops there in the middle of her thighs

Imagine the amount of bounciness that this game will deliver.

>>10239798
>Acceleration of Suguri

Tell me more

Yeah, I thought about Senko no Ronde/Suguri when this first got announced too, but apparently your shots don't auto-target like in those games.

Hey, i thought Touhou games are pretty much fanservice-free, but..........

>>10243766

It's not fanservice until you see panties.

Delicious lewd sprites.

I'll spend hours just watching their animations in training mode.

>>10242906

And she's not playable. What a goddamn waste.

>>10243774
but, dat legs, they're quite hot
also i hope there's no pantyshot or boobs bouncing.
i hope.....

>>10242931
Why would they still wear bloomers?

They're in their twenties now!

>>10243778
You don't know that.

>>10243655

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJmeTU-kHU

Huh. I think this is more of a touhou fighting game than the touhou fighting games are

>>10243801
Sakuya became too old for danmaku games. She lost her child's heart.

I bet Futo will not be playable in the demo....

>>10243655

A word of her Mistress and she'll enter the fry again anytime.

Goddamit ZUN I'm going to find you and kill you.

>Suguri, AoS2, etc.
Do people still play that? I haven't seen anyone mention it in months... also, 13.5 won't play anything like it, and it won't be too similar to Psychic Force either (although it is mentioned constantly for whatever reason).

It's been mentioned once before, but Astra Super Stars is the closest equivalent to what 13.5 will be. There's footage of a fairly recent ASS tournament on YouTube, here:

youtu.be/M9ocpHMQTiQ
youtu.be/SetlbQbkfrA
youtu.be/CzOFyLNJepI
youtu.be/4kbGxmRLcBQ
youtu.be/T3rWUofsH4c

You may notice that a lot of mechanics in ASS were pasted over to 13.5 verbatim. This is by design.

But hey, if 13.5 gets people interested in AoS2, it's still a win for me.
