>>10277018
He put that in to guarantee replies, dummy

Unzan&Ichirin
Nitori
Byakuren
Shou
Miko
Seiga
Yoshika
Tojiko
Keine
Futo
Mamizou
Nue
Slutnae
Kanakow
Suwako
Aya
Kogasa
Kasen
Hatate
Yuugi
Suika
Yukari
That's obviously most of the playables.

>>10277018

Are you upset?

At least she's guaranteed to be in one of the level backgrounds!

Unless it's like, Mima or something.

I appreciate the thought of being your waifu, OP, but I didn't expect to be playable ever since the game was released. So it's okay.

I'm hoping the constant hovering with no ground options doesn't throw me off. I'm not a fan of floating fighters.

>>10277043
>or something
yeah...
why is ZUN making yet another fighting game? I just want another competitive multiplayer stg. One that's better than PoFV

>you're waifu won't be playable

We'll see about that.

>>10277045
i would be very happy with this list, but i think its a bit lengthy

i know she won't be, but i wish Hina was there. i keep thinking how cool her curse attacks could look. a stylistic hybrid of arc and nrvnqsr from mbaacc.

So Reimu won't be playable? Is that PV a hoax?

>Unzan&Ichirin
No way, unless boss character due to Unzan
>Nitori
Nah, even if it would be nice
>Byakuren
Most likely
>Shou
No
>Miko
Maybe
>Seiga
Maybe
>Yoshika
No, and if she does, she will be an attack by Seiga
>Tojiko
Possibly, due to Byakuren
>Keine
No
>Futo
Maybe, same as Tojiko
>Mamizou
Maybe
>Nue
No
>Slutnae
Possibly
>Kanakow
Maybe
>Suwako
Maybe, once again as Sanae's attacks
>Aya
Maybe
>Kogasa
No
>Kasen
Possibly
>Hatate
No
>Yuugi
No
>Suika
Maybe
>Yukari
Unlikely since she appeared as a BG character

>>10277101
>Shou
>No

That's a good one.

I hope she monopolizes the faith and support of the human village.

>>10277101
so you're saying there will be 4-5 playable characters total?

I hope china is in again. she wasn't in the background with the other sdm characters so I still have hope.

>>10277130
How does she fit with the Sympossium of Post Mysticism and Wild and Horned Hermit backstory?

>>10277101

I stand corrected.

Made 6415518941 hours in paint horribly.
Please be gentle.
pls

>>10277176
Now that you mention it, that thing Shou seems to be fighting might be Nue.

>>10277176
With all those classical youkai plastered about, it's strange not to see a tanuki. Unless I'm blind.

>>10277176
That's not a thunder cloud, that's a cherry blossom tree.
Tojiko will probably be a skillset of Futo or Miko

>>10277176
And here's the half I had some stupid fun with

All I know is that I'm maining Byakuren and Kanako.

>>10277197
If it's a cherry blossom tree it's probably someone from Hakugyokewklnfekdsaslkf? Or a certain flower youkai...?

>>10277211

I don't think Kanako will be playable.

>>10277137
joke characters don't have to fit into the story

>>10277207
also this looks like the tail of the snake behind a mountain. Kanako?

>>10277247
Yes this means Yuyuko, Will more than likely be playable.

>>10277263
You may be right and under that mountain are that green stuff kinda looks like a frog around those trees, so Suwako too?

because

>>10277263

Reimu can see you, Kanako.

>>10277289
>>10277263
Again~

>>10277263
No no no. I think that's an Oarfish, which means Iku is coming back AGAIN.

>>10277015
sorry to sound like a total faggot, but when does tasofro release during comiket?

tenshi confirmed

>>10277350
Oh you~

>>10277324

Sooner or later.

>>10277045
>Slutnae

>>10277350

Tenshi being raped by Mokou?

>>10277043
>Mima
It will never happen ;_;

>>10277263
Reimu is dressed like a traditional miko in this picture... almost resembles PC-98 Reimu, in a way.
[spoilers]my bones are ready[/spoiler]

>>10277045
Why is Cirno not on your list? I know, lols secondary and whatnot but considering she has the 3rd most fanart of any touhou ever I'm kind of surprised when I don't see her on lists like that.

>>10277458
did you even see the gameplay

reimu lewd

>>10277137
She is Chinese Girl. China invented Taoism. So Seiga can invite her to represent or something.

>>10277458
well, I fucked up on those spoilers, haha
But I'm not going to be a pussy and delete my post.
Really, though, it would be nice to see some of the older characters

>Also you're waifu won't be playable
The demo probably will only have Reimu and Marisa anyway.

>>10277468
Well, yeah, but maybe the trailer art is a nod to PC-98?
There are even a couple of evil-spirit looking things in the opening...

>>10277473

I'd be pretty mad if it was.

>>10277478
its just drawn in a typical old style japanese (cant remember the actual name of the art style) much like okami artwork was, if you've ever played thsat

>>10277465
Because she's had enough time in the spotlight for now. Unless she too is sucking ZUN's dick along with Aya and Sanae.

>>10277487
Yeah, I've played the fuck out of Okami. Love that game.
My point is, though... why is Reimu the only Touhou in traditional garb? Everyone else (who isn't in youkai form) is in their normal outfits.

>>10277490
fair enough I suppose. I guess we'll see when it's released.

>>10277490

13.8 is Fairy Wars 2: Ice Cold

Kyouko probably has a chance due to the echos coming from the mountains.

someone give me a summary of eastern religions because I have a hard time telling them apart.

shinto: black hats and sticks with paper
buddhist: bald and sticks with metal rings
taoist: beards and evil magic

is this about right? which ones do divining and yin yang stuff?

>>10277571

Shinto = animism
Buddhism = fat guy
Taoism = Magic: The Gathering

>>10277571
Shinto: At its core, worship of the spirits of the natural world, and communication with spirits who have passed on
Buddhism: Cast off worldly desires to achieve enlightenment, or Nirvana, which is a state of non-being
Taoism: The world must have balance between everything, good cannot exist without evil and vice-versa

>>10277602
>buddhism = fat guy
that fat guy is not the gautama buddha
the fat guy is the budai

>>10277606
which ones are good at fighting monsters and demons?

>>10277646
Shinto and Taoism, mostly. Though Buddhists can fight too, they prefer a more peaceful approach.

Which is why I think Byakuren might not be playable, since she's taken an oath of non-violence. The only reason she fights you in UFO is because Spell Card battles are more about skill and beauty than violence.

>>10277627

What's the difference?

>>10277667
I thought buddhists did kung fu and revolted against feudal warlords

this discussion is muda

can't we just wait a few days?

>>10277687

When does touhoushit normally release at comikettle?

>>10277679
Most Buddhists are peaceful, but there are a few sects that don't adhere to that.
There are oddballs in every religion.

>>10277700
Usually second or last day.

pointless hopes

Oh well, at least there'll be Okuu. Probably.

>>10277729
But ZUN hates SA.. So maybe not ;_;

>>10277729
I feel your pain, Shinkibro.
Maybe 2013 will be the year that our bones are vindicated. We can always hope.

Doesn't really matter, since I won't be playing it because my computer is too old.
Why would you do this Tasofro

>>10277176
Check those zombies. Yoshika is coming from the ground on the lower right corner.

>>10277207
>This might be Nue she's fighting.
Maybe they are putting on a show to impress the villagers.

>>10277734

So why was she in hisou then?

>>10277753
Can't you buy a better, used one for dirt cheap off someone? I doubt it'd be that difficult, unless you're in the middle of nowhere or have literally no room for the finances.

>>10277363
welp, forgot to check tasofro's site

>Dec 30, 2012

>>10277045
This list is so hilariously wrong

>>10277774
My repeating numbers deem them correct.

>>10277763
She may have been in Hisou but he probably just thought her powers would make her a "cool fighter" to have in the fray. Also, she didn't even get a story like Sanae and Cirno did, she was just thrown in there for the sake of it, probably to please fans. But he clearly stopped caring about the SA fanbase when he kept foreshadowing their appearance in the manga but then kept going "Hmmmm, WAIT NOPE, I changed my mind".

>>10277785
Nah its wrong.The characters we're getting are at most

Reimu
Marisa
Sanae
Kanako
Suwako
Byakuren
Shou
Murasa/Ichirin (1 or the other)
Miko
Futo
Seiga (Yoshika will be her personal assist character, and it'd be hilarious if it was similar to Frank's zombies in TvC)

And that's it. We might get Yukari but even that's a stretch.

>>10277801
Well no fuckin duh it was wrong, my entire list was long as shit and too fanon pleasing, you'd might as well look at >>10277308 for character speculation.

>>10277801
Comparing this to Soku , this list is actually pretty small.

>>10277819
You also have to remember it's an entire new engine and character sprites and such have to be done. We aren't getting a lot of characters this time around.

>>10277835
why are you such an asslord

>>10277845
Get out of here gay man

>>10277854
I'll get out when you stop ruining everyone's fun

>>10277801
add kasen, keine, and a couple more reappearances from soku

obviously not in the demo, though. i wouldn't be surprised if it's marisa/reimu only, but that would be real disappointing.

>>10277857
Maybe they appear in the selection screen but we can't select them, or something like that

>>10277845
pls no bully

>>10277863

The full game will have an icon for Mima but she's unselectable.

If you hack it and make her available, all that spawns is a pile of bones.

>>10277877
>all that spawns is a pile of bones.
Why are you so mean?

>>10277753
I'm afraid of this too.
I could run Hisou fine, but not sure how if I'll be able to run this one.

You have to at least give up to the fans who try.

>>10277915

Sorry. There isn't a kind bone in my body.

>>10278009
Why is it so hard for people to make fucking decent lifebars? Look at that paint-level red and blue color in the circle lifebar of alice and Yuuka. It just looks plain fucking awful. I would never play a game with such shitty colors.

I wonder if the boss will be a new character.

>>10278172
It'll be Kasen

>>10278009

I just realized something.

Alice's eyes in the lifebar are blue, yet in the giant pic, they are yellow.

Alice changing the color of her eyes at will = NEW CANON?!

>>10278302
A lot of the characters have different eye colors from game to game.

>>10278317

They don't in the SAME GAME.

>>10278302
>ThisisFake.jpg
I really hope you're just being silly.

>>10277801
I'm happy with Shou, its about time she gets some attention. I just hope the fanbase doesn't go berserk and latch on to some horrible blown out of proportion meme with her.

>>10277140


This game looks too lewd for an official game, just look at Reimu, Sakuya and Sunny.

Also, I hope we get Nitori (Kappa on OP) and Cirno (wasn't with the 3 fairies at the background in the match)

All I want is Yuka.

Don't disappoint me, Japan.

I gotta believe!

>>10277084 i hope for her too

>>10278357
Check out Suwako and Alice in Hisouten you spurg.

>>10277571
A basic summary:
Shinto: Native Japanese religion, with thousands of gods, each living in every object, such as trees and stones.
Buddhist: Dharmic religion from India that travelled to China, then Korea, then Japan, this religion emphasises on the "middle path", between self-deprivation and being over-powering. Generally peaceful.
Taoism: Religion from China based on the words of Lao Tzu. A laid back religion that's almost seen as lazy, compared to Confucianism, where people are taught to know their place in society, as taught by Confucius. Taoism is more at one with nature, as opposed to societal structure like Confucianism.

I just want Nazrin pls.

Japan seems to like her quite a bit.

The main theme of this game will be faith war so they aren't that relevant anymore. Expect characters from MoF, UFO, TD and Reimu/Marisa, not much more.

>>10278677
But how can ZUN not include Sakuya, the most edgy athiest in Gensokyo.

>>10278695
Sakuya's an atheist?

>>10278705
Sakuya is a devil worshipper as she sold her soul to demonic vampires a long time ago.

>>10278643
Remilia will try to start her own cult with her as a god figure and Sakuya as her priestess.

>>10278731
China serves only one god.

>>10278705
She referred to herself as one in 7.5
She also has a blatant disregard for human morals and doesn't care about what happens to her after death.

>>10278462
>>10278731
ZUN doesn't care about her and the only reason she was in Soku was because they were running out of time and had to at least throw in someone, and happened to have her sprites already because of IaMP.

>>10278731
10/10 My nigga.

>>10278744
I'm sure she serves a mean catfish gumbo dinner when Remi asks, but what I mean is she is faithful to the Dragon of Gensoukyo.

Where is the first place the games are normally uploaded to? I assuming it isn't mediafire.

Needs Wriggle, so she can go the way of Dan. Actually not bad, and playable. Has done well in tournaments, but it doesn't mean people won't still call him bad and make fun of him and his players.

I really hope ZUN doesn't include random characters who have nothing to do with the story. You don't set up your religious war over multiple games and then waste the big conflict by having character slots taken away by someone like Meiling, Sakuya and Cirno.

>>10278907

Marisa is always in. If she were in any further her mushroom would be poking out of touhou's mouth.

>>10278919

>caring about side-material characters

>>10278915
Well, Marisa is in almost any game so it's no surprise. Not having her would be like having a Mario Bros. game without Luigi. Her appearance won't have to be something stupid like "[name] was just passing by and now fights random people for shits and giggles".

She can just side with Reimu since their good friends. Or maybe she sides with someone else and Reimu gets sad or angry and lots of conflict ensues.

>>10278927

SDM's time of glory is over. It's time for the new Touhous to take the center stage

This was my face when I realized that the demo would probably only have the shrine stage and I wouldn't get to see my marvelous background wife until summer if even at all.

>>10278957
Demo will only have Hakurei Shrine and maybe Moria Shrine as stages.

It will also only have 4 characters at most, two of these being Reimu and Marisa, one being Sanae and one extra character who wasn't playable before(most likely Futo or Shou)

>>10277207
>some youkai having a good time with humans
could be oni's, four onis...
four devas?

>>10278966
Maybe Byakuren?

Accepting that Cirno won't be in, but hoping at least we get a couple loli's to play with *fingers crossed* for Suwako

Yukari probably has a great chance in being in this game. We all know how much ZUN loves Yukari, plus, isn't she Buddhist? She has that one spell card named Zen temple-something like that. Or alternatively she could be supporting reimu.

>>10278910
See thats just the thing, most people use Dan as a secondary, there's only one or two guys that use him as a primary fighter. Its about match-ups more than anything. Believe it or not Dan can punish quite a few picks. His gameplay is mostly centered around baiting things using his flying kick, and odd ranges. Then punishing hard when the enemy slips up.

>>10278975
I'd be happy to see any of them. Except for Seiga.

>>10278981
>Except for Seiga

It's going to be casual garbage, mark my words. Casual, button-smashing garbage.

With the traditional depiction, and so much red around the youkai attacking humans, there is no actual gore or massacre depicted.

Maybe the axes and swords are made of foam, and this is how traditional youkai gain fear and infamy in Gensokyo? While the little girls play with shining lights and patterns.

>>10278952
At least one SDM will be in the game, ZUN will never stop milking that household.

I'm ok with that.

>>10279355

wait a sec are you trying to trick me again

>>10279355

I miss Megaupload.

Man, thread started kinda promising, now its cancerous as fuck.

lol, fanbase.

>>10279359
anon pls

Flan and Meiling are not in the background. There's still a small chance.

>>10279376

Well anon, set a good example.

>>10279383
>Flan being somehow related to any of the major events in Gensokyo

I'm quoting Flanfly.

>>10279391

Remilia will start a cult of Flan. You have to eat Flan to worship Flan.

>>10279383
ZUN never lets Flan out of the basement.

>>10279391
Preventing SDM and a decent chunk of the surrounding landscape from being blown up by a meteorite counts like a major event if you ask me.

>>10279411
ZUN is a smart man.

>>10279411
Except for that time.

>>10278978
she'd be on reimu's side. ...Hell come to think of it after her and Marisa who else would be with Reimu?

>>10279418
That was all BS if you ask me.

>>10279446
Kasen

>>10279454
that could work, though I have trouble seeing her take part in the fighting. More like she'd be lecturing from the sidelines and trying to manipulate things that way. Then again it's not infeasible for them to come up with some reason and have her join.

I wonder if Reimu will have a bunch of youkai on her side that don't care about the conflict but just use it as an excuse to involve themselves. Suikia joins because she's drunk why not. Remilia is on her side because she's bored. Etc. Even Tenshi could approach it the same way.

>>10279468
> though I have trouble seeing her take part in the fighting

Why?
She has a bunch of abilities and animals she could summon to fight

>>10279468
There will probably not be anyone. Too much work to design and animate unnecessary characters.

>>10279500
Oh also, maybe she is the hopeless masquerade and she will be revealed to be a deva of the mountain.
After all it has been pretty obvious for a while

>>10279446
Suika?

>>10279500
I'm talking personality-wise. She's too reasonable and not as apt to get into fights as the other characters. As I said though it wouldn't be difficult to work around this. It would be great if she gets in though; she'd have a very unique playstyle.

>>10279355
>http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RA268H5P

>>10277801
> No Nazrin
> No Yoshika as a stand alone character
I am upset. (Though still happy about the others, assuming this list is correct that is)

Still mixed feelings about Shou's appearance in the OP. I really didn't think she'd be in it, since everything about her character seemed to point towards that. She's one of my favorite characters, but Nazrin would have translated better into a fighting game anyway, I think.

>>10277787
Don't forget that both that manga and Symposium effectively brand SA cast the dangerous, unwanted scum of Gensokyo!

I hate all of you. I wanted a shmup. Why couldn't I have got what I wanted. Fuck you guys.

>>10279546
ZUN doesn't cares about what anyone wants

>>10279542
Poor Nazrin will never get a chance to shine, due to being a stage 1 boss.

>>10277861
It's better than building back unrealistic expectations and then calling the game shit because it did not have the 30+ character roster we want. That's probably why they intentionally included the background with SDM and Yakumo clan, to let some people have time to accept and deal with them not being included instead of all raging at once in shock when the final product comes out.

>>10279546
You must be new to expect one now

>>10279557
Still hoping she'll also be in it, somehow. It would make all sorts of sense. I'm getting a little disappointed. She might have been a 1st stage boss, but she was a 5th stage midboss too, and very much plot-related.

>>10278710
I don't think you know what an atheist is.

>>10279560
That's kind of obsessive fan reasoning. It's the natural demo stage and those are Reimu's supporters.

>>10279570
Exactly.
What's with people saying 'bystanders so they're unplayable game sux lol'?
It's like people aren't allowed to spectate anything these days.

>>10279570
Doesn't change the fact that it would be stupid to expect characters that have nothing to do with the plot to appear as playable.

>>10279560
Not like ZUN even gives a fuck about backlash and for good reason

I'm expecting like 8 characters at most on a new engine

All this list of characters but you guys are forgetting that we'll most likely have new characters with this game, as it has always been.

>>10279546
Yes because a completely different group working on a fighting game is taking away from ZUN's work on other things. Brilliant logic. At least with this we get to pass the time and then BAM 14 will fucking hit while we're enjoying ourselves, and be a great suprise.

>>10280003
To be fair, he gets involved in a lot of things thesedays. Being the owner of what is essentially a franchise this strongs copyright, I'm sure hes more busy than you all think before even making his games.

>>10280064
can't forget he writes all those manga scripts
chapter 3 of FS is out btw, that sure was fast.

>>10280076
Well, he just needs to meet Yukari and listen to the plot from her and then send the script to the people who have to draw the manga.

>>10279620
Sounds like she wants to fuck.

>>10279657
It's kind of messy, the spellcard rules make it impossible for characters to kill each other in danmaku, to which all battles starting from eosd are forced to be like the most technical game mechanics don't really apply so don't bring that crap in.

>>10277015
it will be shit.

>>10280131
Stop posting that image.

>>10280135
fell for my clever ruse

>>10280142

>>10280142
>>10280145
Stop.

>>10280149

>>10279063
Have you not read the character backstories? Sure the game itself has none of this but the actually whatnot written by ZUN is somewhat dark here and there.

>Also you're waifu won't be playable
Oh?
It'd be a god damn travesty to have an aerial combat game and not have the best bird in it.

>>10280131
>>10280142
>>10280145
>>10280155

>Also you're waifu won't be playable

Really? They removed Reimu form the game?
Well that sucks.

>>10280187
I fucking hope she's playable

>>10280187
>best bird in it
>Aya

why not ALL the birds?

>>10280242
i have a good feeling she is

I've played so many fighting games and know the cast of touhou so well that I could already tell you exactly who will be playable.

But I'm not going to.

Considering Nue is in TD and she's close friends with Mamizou, another strong candidate, I'd say her chances are pretty good.

Besides her the only other EX bosses that reoccurred in the series were Yukari, Suwako and Alice and they all got in the fighters.

>>10280259
In your bones?

>>10280321
i can feel it in my whole skeleton

New character... The god of the Hakurei shrine !!!!! Nope.

Is there any /jp/ stream fir this?

>>10280253
If you look closely at that picture people keep analyzing, there are as many as four birds in it.

What's more, I'd swear at least some of them look like crested ibises.

>>10278892
HATATE ON THE RIGHT

YES

>>10280260

>>10280765
Dude, that's a version edited by fans.

>>10280391

So, the one character in touhou who'd be even lazier than Reimu?

FUCK I MISSED EVERYTHING, I
MISSED
EVERYTHING, IF ONLY I DIDN'T GO TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT, IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK TIME, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>10281162
miss what

When I went to sleep the thread only had about 70 replies
And then I wake up and it's over 300!
That's like, MAXIMUM REPLIES.
And appearantly HM demo released or something.

As far as I know, nothing is out yet. But it is Sunday morning in the land of the rising sun. SOON

>>10281210

Soon, soon, bones for mima.

>>10281205
well yeah c83 is happening so it would be out now, but fuck if anyone has a link

The wiki says that it's supposed to come out tonight. My body is Letty.

>>10281234

Maybe you should get some excercise then?

>>10281250

Demo roster confirmed:
Reimu
Marisa
Shinki
Mima

>>10281311
This game is already shit.

>>10281311
I KNEW IT

>>10281311

Fuck you.

SO I guess we'll make a new thread when the demo hits, since all discussion here has dried up.

She follows Miko and beats stuff up.

Really though, it would interesting to see what she could do. Yoshika as some kind of support or something. She likes to mess with humans, so that's another reason as to why she would even get involved.

>>10281509
Nobody wants a shitty chinese bitch.

>>10281524
pls no bully ;_;

>>10281580

Go back to beijing!

Why does everyone seem to hate Seiga? Meiling is Chinese too.

>>10281607
I hate just about all of the TD crew.

>>10281628
Then you might as well hate this game.

>>10281649
Don't worry, I like Myouren Temple.

>>10281698

Tell me this isn't cute.

>>10281708
She's sucked dicks before.
Youkai > shittychinesetaoshits

Wow you guys really do love your ``pure maidens'' don't you? How about that Sanae?

>>10281761
I hate Slutnae and Kanakow, but Suwako's cool in my book, she's probably had sex before anyway, being Sanae's ancestor and all, I mean, how would she spread her godly power, unless she split herself and someone ate the split Suwako like with Utsuho and then bred.

>>10281773
So Suwako is only better because she's a loligoddess? I can live with that I guess. I favor Suwako over Kanako anyways.

>>10281801
I prefer Suwako before she's just better than Kanako.
Kanako is more of an actual evil 2hu, she's too ambitious, and Sanae's more or less just a puppet to her. Suwako's more like a pretty cool guy to hang out and have a drink with. Even though Suwako can be a bit ambitious too.

I think Kanako is more attractive then Suwako's generic loli-ness.

>>10281861
Heretic. Burn him.

i am going to laugh at all of you when mima is yet again not in a new game

>>10281829

New thread, everybody. Characters confirmed and shit.
