Touhou was a mistake.

I like how Byakuren's background is Miko kicking her ass.
Also the art is fine. Futo's not a dwarf, so that's good.

Futo isn't loli anymore
good

>>13377157

Damn. That really is an improvement. Apparently there's video of the game out but I'm too lazy to find it.

>>13377149
I for one welcome our new Moe overlords.

>>13377149
>No more pool noodle neck Futo

Perfect.

Byakuren is an angel confirmed

>>13377149
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FROM

>>13377157

>>13377149
Koishi > Koishit

>>13377149
>crowbar
>93
>9/3=3
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!

>>13377430
Please don't joke about this.

Valve is cancer now.

Wow, Futo went from looking like a preschooler to looking like an old grandma.
Kind of reminds me of the Carcharias version.

>>13377430
Go back to /v/ retard

But muh 5 yo Futo!

>>13377183
Are you some kind of gay homosexual?

>>13377482
I can feel that this might spark into an anti-loli vs loli battle.

Please not be like that and accept both arts.

>>13377488
No.

>>13377482
It's not like I hate lolis, but futo wasn't even a loli to begin with

>>13377466
worst art in the whole game, I still don't get why her hair is brown

>>13377433
This, I don't even play skyrim and I'm disgusted.

>>13377498
I don't see what the problem is, she's still quite petite. I want to pierce her 1500 year-old hymen!

That's all for now.
There just was a Nico Nico event with ZUN where they showcased the game.

>>13377985
too crazy.

>>13377990
damn, moukou looks awesome

>>13377149
Is bird wife confirmed ?!

>>13377149
Everything except Kokoro

>>13378525
No that's the only bad one in the bunch
- cross eyed
- too much forehead
- skellington arms
- hand looks like a crane

>>13378525
Her playstyle seems to be mostly kicking with her hands in her pockets. Neat.

There's something else pretty cool about the game aside from Moe's art: the music. Apparently each character's theme is being done by a different circle. The exception being Kasen, which is ZUN.

Reimu: Buta Otome
Marisa: ?
Ichirin: ShavaDava (Sound CYCLONE)
Hijiri: NYO (Silver Forest)
Futo: Tai no Kobone (Azure&Sands)
Miko: Taka (CROW'SCLAW)
Nitori: Yuuyu
Koishi: Kishida (Kishida Kyoudan)
Mamizou: Shuzou (Sekken'ya)
Kokoro: Dobu Usagi (dBu music)
Mokou: ziki_7
Shinmyoumaru: Akiyama Uni

>>13378681
Weird arm aside I don't see big problems with Kokoro.

The obligatory fighting game showcase of every character (Sukuna looks fun):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m0ubTz3yQ4

where's Mami's business attire?

>>13378708
cool mobile phone quality, dude

>>13378032
You forgot to post the best one

>>13378695
Really? Nice to hear circles get involved a little.

Good Ichirin, you look kinda cool!

>>13378708
That Mokou that sets herself on fire to die and revive again is pretty neat.

Also you can easily notice how ZUNish the Kasen theme is with all those trumpets.

>>13378695
Crow's Claw is arranging Miko's theme? Holy fuck, I'm excited for this.

>>13378732
Byakuren taught Ichirin the runes in her scroll. Or maybe just Buddhist chantings

>>13378708
Futo's theme barely sounds like her theme.

I still can't figure out the controls for the game, and I can't find them anywhere.

>>13378695
Some themes sound overdone and shitty.
Reimu's, Byakuren's (it's awful!), Koishi's, Mami's and Kokoro's.

Miko's is overdone too, but it sounds great and it fits both the theme and the character.

Do we know all the urban legends yet?
Most of them have been confirmed, but do we know:

Miko
Futo
Byakuren
Kokoro
Nitori
Koishi

?

>>13378916
Miko > Red Mantle, Blue Mantle
Futo > Okiku no Sara
Byakuren > Headless Rider(maybe, otherwise Jet Babaa)
Kokoro > Kuchisake-onna
Nitori > ??? (her title says Triassic, so maybe mecha-saurus or something?)
Koishi > Mary-san or Satoru-kun

Nue needs to be in this game. It's as obligatory as having Kanako and Sanae in HM.

>>13378916
Reimu - Woman in the Gap
Marisa - Seven Wonders of the School
Futo - Banchou Sarayashiki (Plate-Counting Vengeful Spirit)
Miko - Aka/Aoi Manto (Red/Blue Mantle)
Ichirin - Hasshaku-sama (Eight-Feet Tall Lady)
Byakuren - ??? (Her title is "Extreme Speed! The Rider Monk", so probably the Headless Rider - a motorcycle-riding spirit. That's quite rad for an old hag like Byaku-san)
Nitori - ??? (Her title is "From Time Immemorial! The Triassic Kappa", so maybe something dinosaur related?)
Koishi - Satoru-kun (Kidnapping Telephone Spirit)
Mamizou - The Men in Black
Kokoro - Kuchisake-onna (Slit-Mouthed Woman)
Kasen - Monkey's Paw
Mokou - Spontaneous Human Combustion
Shinmyoumaru - Little Green Men
Hanako - Hanako of the Toilet?

There's a chance that Nitori's might be Nessie or some kind of prehistoric animal sightings, and they're probably made out of machine

>>13378983
oy vey its the hisoutensoku all over again

>>13378860
I'll agree with you on Koishi and Mamizou. Oh my god, they fucked them up badly.

But on the other hand, the rest of the soundtrack is awesome! In my opinion, at least. This goes double for Kokoro (her new song is loads better than that crap she had in HM) and the newcomers (Mokou's theme is catchy as all hell, Shinmyoumaru's is simply awesome and Kasen's was composed by ZUN, so of course it's fille with trumpet greatness). All I'm hoping (soundtrack-wise) now is that they don't pull another Kokoro and give Hanako a shit-ass theme.

>>13379002
>Hanako
Is it speculation?

>>13379002
Those were my two favorites.I guess they're more manufactured than the rest, but I don't think that's bad.

>>13377149

Not bad, pretty good, see ya later Alphes

>>13377149
I wonder if Alphes would have been replaced if he hadn't done such an awful job for HM. I mean, I love Moe Harukawa, don't get me wrong, but still.

>>13379007
Datamine leak, it got Shinmyoumaru and Mokou right so it's kinda fair to trust it.

>>13379098
Does that mean that those will be the three only new characters? That fucking sucks.

>>13377149
The art is technically better than Alphes' HM work but the poses feel bland and there's some serious sameface going on with Ichirin, Byakuren, and Nitori.

>>13377990
Her pose is pretty rude.
>>13378695
>each character's theme is being done by a different circle
I remember IaMPs' sundtrack having arrangements created by some guys from Tasogare and the only themes I liked were created by ZUN himself, the rest was kinda meh. Dunno how to feel about it.

>>13378774
Perfect theme for a perfect prince.

>>13377183
She never was. She is just a midget.

>>13379103
Four. Don't forget that Kasen is a newcomer too.

It's not that lame, really. The jump from IaMP to SWR only added five characters (Aya, Reisen, Komachi, Iku and Tenshi), as did the jump from SWR to Soku (Sanae, Cirno, Utsuho, Suwako and re-added Meiling).

>>13379170
Laaaaaame.

Can't wait to deal Dino Damage with Nitori

>>13377990
Oh good, the dreamworks face.

>>13377149
but muh eyebrows!

>>13377149
I'm gonna miss this face.

Mamizou's theme was my favorite on HM but I don't know this one's not good.

>>13379549
In the end, Miko couldn't win against cock!

>>13379549
Me too. Alphes' Miko was by far the best looking character of his.

Though I'm betting Moe will have her own version of that face.

Will there be new versions of those 10-second song remixes that played when you got your Last Word (or whatever the Super move was called) ready?

I can't remember if the game mechanics have changed about that

>>13379557
>Sekken'ya
I hate every arrange.

Mixed feelings.

>>13378963
>>13378929

Thanks, I had a handle on most of them, I am glad it's not all just Japan stuff

>>13379589
I'm actually pretty mixed about those arrangers so far. Big fan of folk'ish kinda soundtracks so HM was a great suprise for me.

Well lets just wait for the full release.

>>13379632
Yeah, Moe Harukawa Hijiri and Futo is already good enough for me.

>>13379584
Isn't that what the arrangers are for?
I assumed that you get the arrange music when you build the purple bar up to be able to use your last word, and not just during the whole match.

The arranges look fine, but they really give the "amateur who's trying to impress their job offerer" feeling.

>>13379127
>Her pose is pretty rude.
She looks retarded, her proportions are also weird as hell.

>>13378708
The kokoro and koishi spellcard portraits look cool as hell.
Anyone have a pic of the kokoro one with better quality than the vid?

>>13378002
The dork looking good as fuck

>>13378708
The goofiness of Futo's theme kinda suits her. Miko's theme made me smile.

>>13379656
They are not the best but I still like some of the new remixes better because they sound like something that makes you bumped for a fight contrary to their HM counterparts who sounded a bit boring to me.

>>13378708

I don't get why people are bitching about the OST, mind you we haven't heard the whole thing of any track and the quality of that video is low

Having said that I am quite liking Futo, Nitori, Koishi, Kokoro, Sukuna and (ohhh god that) Mokou themes

>>13377985
*tips federer*

Harukawa a best.
And I want to see Kasen. I really hope they improved her sprites.

>>13377409
Where I can find the full last chapter? On youtube it stopped on some part. Just wanted to see how it will end.

>>13379963
Half of it sounds like generic OMG DRUMS, GUITARS AND SYNTH shit.

>>13380151
If I were you, I'd wait until the whole thing is finished and translated.

This have all the premises to be the best 2hu fighter ever. hope it doesn't disappoint

>>13380580
The graphics?
You know the gameplay is going to be similar to HM.

>>13380599
One hopes they put more work into the gameplay this time around.

>>13380599
>>13380871
>I don't know how the gameplay handles!
There's a demo out there, you know.

>>13378706
It seriously looks like a cosplaying Nepgear to me.

As much as Alphes blew in HM I prefer his Kokoro the most. No funny proportions or whack experimental shit going on in it.

Miko's theme sounds sick

>>13381155
Goddammit, now I can't unsee Squaregear

I was pretty okay with their previous design.

What happened to that silhouette that anons were comparing to Mima?

>>13377149
Miko looks like an alien.

>>13382230
She's the newhu, so of course the details about her are going to be kept secret until the game releases.

Jesus CHRIST, Miko's hand. That's a terrifying.

Flying fighters sucks balls.

Didn't they learn anything with Hopeless Masquerade?

>>13382693

I wish they learned.

At least Kokoro's back but another flying fighter cannot be a good thing.

Will they make other pedestrian fighters or are flying fighters the future now?

>>13379966
>*tips federer*

>>13382693
HM was ok in terms of gameplay, actually, Just watch people who know what they're doing.

Unfortunately it was too different for its own good and died as a result. Or perhaps the reason was that the game wasn't interesting enough to warrant much attention? Who knows.

>>13383985
Popularity needs to be reworked/balanced and netplay needs to just work.

Around Byaks
Never relax

Wasn't all of HM's roster leaked without Mamizou included? Maybe that means there'll be another penultimate boss character who wasn't in the leak. Nuepls

>>13384696
The HM leak had all of the characters, even Kokoro (which the game code refers to as "boss"). However, I would definitely like to have another character added to the roster. Seijapls

>>13384369
Both true. Certainty didn't help matters.

>>13384696
Don't get your hopes up. I'd love it too, but maybe next time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m-us2yE0s4&feature=youtu.be trailer we already saw from cameradude

>>13389661

>>13389661
>half the songs are marvel 2 styled masterpieces
>half the songs are fucking garbage
Hopefully the game's quality matches the former more than the latter. Since they used training mode, I can't figure out what Mokou's resurrection does. If it heals, I'm in.

>>13389767
It heals, since most of her specials use up her health. However, it will only heal up to a certain limit indicated by the white bar alongside her health bar, similar to how the red health bar worked in Melty Blood. Damaging or chipping her should reduce this white bar, thus limiting her regeneration.

Since ZUN went and extended his hand towards fanworks, I hope he goes to the logical conclusion and introduces voice acting into the next fighting game. It would be quite a treat to know how the girls are supposed to sound like in the head of the Priest.

>>13389984
>I hope he goes to the logical conclusion and introduces voice acting into the next fighting game
Everyone is voiced by Aizawa Pika or some amateur seiyuu
Interesting

>>13389661
They're better than I thought.
I don't like Koishi's and Mamizou's though. Also Sukuna's theme is nice but it lost all its power from DDC.

> It would be quite a treat to know how the girls are supposed to sound like in the head of the Priest.

That's the very exact reason he will never put acting. He treats his world like if it was real, it would sound weird to him giving them dubs. Imo.

>>13389661
Can someone translate the Kasen's theme name?

>>13390707

>>13389661
I find it easier to hear Futo theme in the arrange now, good.

So now that we have a clearer version of the trailer I decided to update OP's picture to make it look good as shit and add the characters that are missing.

...Only problem, I did that and now I can't post it here because it's way too big. Here you can find it: https://i.imgur.com/SPGzS8X.jpg

Does anyone have any ideas to reduce the size of the file while keeping the quality? It's currently standing at 10,5 megabytes.

>>13389984
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eblYnGhv1Qk

>>13389984
If he is going to extend his hand to fanwork I want a Rumble Temple arrange in so more arranges can be made. Even if it is something like a stage theme or hidden theme that requires Kasen to do something to trigger.

>>13379963
Because there's no theme. No design. You know, the thing designers expect to be paid for. It's just a mash of random arranges.

>>13391216
fair enough, it's still good though

Holy shit the soundtrack sounds amazing. Not so sure about koishi and mami but the others are pretty ace. Pleasantly surprised by the jazzy feel in quite a few of them.

>>13391598
Is this some conspiracy against me? Why is it that I think Koishi and Mami's sound the best? I mean, I like them all, but they just sound the most exciting.

Maybe it's cause I played HM a decent amount and heard the old tracks enough that I'd prefer something new.

>>13391640
It's probably going to have the tracks from both games, like tensoku did with swr.

>>13391068

>>13391761
Thanks, bro! How did you do it?

>>13391842
I didn't, Imgur automatically reduced the file size when I saved it.

>>13391761
>>13391068
I love Harukawa's work but dear god that sameface is killing me.

>>13391640
Nah, after listening to it again mami's sounds fantastic. One of the better ones actually, the instruments are very nice. As for koishi, fast metal just isn't my thing.

>>13389661
It sounds like some circles tried to imitate U2 style, and others like Silver Forest didn't bother making something fitting, so that's confusing.

>>13389984
Why did you directly quote an MotK post?

>>13391640
>Why is it that I think Koishi and Mami's sound the best?
Because musical taste is subjective and varies from person to person. and you're tastes are sheet brah

I'm personally a fan of Mokou's and Shinmyoumaru's remixes, and can't wait to listen to them in full.

Just stopping by to say that Futo with blue eyes is the best. Grey eyes a shit. Blue eyes master race.

INSTANT MAIN

>>13402259
So you like going against canon?

witch 2hu plays like iori?

>>13407382
Her sprite looks the best out of all the newcomer's I'd say. Well, the same guy who did Futo in HM did it so it's a given I guess. Unfortunately Kasen and Mokou seem to be of lesser quality than the rest of the cast, which was admittedly extremely good.

Is this the toilet Touhou?

>>13418662
one of futo's attacks

>>13418662
>>13418698
She's cute, trying to balance plates.

>>13377149
I can't be the only one annoyed by all the sameface, right?

>>13419502
You're not the only autist here, yeah.

>>13419502
Welcome to Touhou.

>>13418639
I'm also disappointed by Kasen. Has this guy even seen an eagle before?

>>13421605
What's the problem?

>>13421714
It has like 3 frames of animation.
I don't get what people are saying about Kasen herself though. She looks fine.

>>13421714
Its legs look like corn dogs.

>>13419502
Yeah, pretty much.

Only 1 week left.
Are you hype yet?

>>13422952
Nope.

>>13422961
I kind of understand how you feel.
Better stay calm than get hyped and be disappointed.

>>13422158
Ichirin

>>13421605
Her hair got longer.

>>13422952
After all these releases I'm not hyped at the moment, but I know very well that day I won't sleep as usual and refresh /jp/ every 3 seconds even though I know very well at what hour the news start being posted.

>>13422952
Yeah I'm hype for lol k

>>13391131
Rumble Temple was a nice fan made theme.

>>13422952
No.
I won't be hype until they go back to the IaMP format where it isn't a gimmicky piece of shit.
I'll still play it anyway because it has mokou in it but every fighting game release besides IaMP has been so fuckin bad.

>>13422158
Fatima al-Kebab, the new secret character.

>>13424999
it's shiiiiiiiiiit

>>13426576
*the shit. The beginning of the theme just screams "ass kicking", it really gets me going.

Why isn't there a oni in the game yet?
I demand a oni!

>>13429192
Then the intro ends and the composer be like "what the fuck do I do with this piano and trumpet"

How the fuck did zun let this happen

How the fuck did zun let this happen

>>13430306
when they had it right the first time?

>>13430310
The same reason the hands switch on the sprites of any 2d fighting game.
You're supposed to just take it as a limitation of videogames and art assets.

>>13430326
A troll that simple isn't going to work here. It's 2015, not 1992 (and it wouldn't have worked then, either).

>>13430363
In fact a lot of fighters where designed so the character would be symmetrical, or at the very worst the only asymmetrical thing would be the face, to avoid said problem.

>>13430363
Do you complain when the weapon a character is holding magically changes hands whenever they jump over an opponent?
It's not just for saving budget.

Handrawn games do this, and even 2d games that have 3d assets where it'd be easier to do backfacing characters like street fighter do this.

People who play fighting games don't want to have to remember different visual cues depending on whether the character is facing left or right.

>>13425019
Yeah, I agree with this. Not event the new "arranges" are good. Jesus christ...

I didn't expect that finally seeing Harukawa Reimu beaten up portrait would be that satisfying.

>>13425019
Right, because IaMP is synonymous with "orthodox fighting game".

>>13430759
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baazgkh2KLM

>>13431033
Damn, that was too damn close.

>>13425019
>guard crushes and the entire system with declaring and meter aren't gimmicky
How's that netplay treating you

>>13431033
Jesus...

Is anyone interested in a pastebin-type guide to controls, system mechanics, and maybe demo character moves?
What with the full game coming out in a couple days I'm hesitant to start writing something like that up if no one cares about it.

>>13431033
I wish I could see these players' thought processes as they play. I'm decent at soku but I'll never reach this level.

>>13429650
True, true.

>>13434428
Oh yes, I'm certainly interested. I've been looking for something like that for a while and I couldn't find it.
You would do me a favor.

>>13389661
Koshi's theme is pure garbage. The same with the other half. (What the fuck is up with Byakuren's theme?)
The others are pretty good though. Really fond of Futo's and Mokou's arrangements.

Reimu

Neutral Special: TRIANGLE CHARGE. Honestly doesn't seem very good
Forward Special: YOUKAI BUSTER. Same as it ever was. Fast strong straight amulets.
Back Special: SQUARE SEALING FIELD. Starts off hueg and shrinks. Good area denial.
Up Special: FLASH KICK. Anti-air. Don't whiff.
Down Special: TELEPORT KICK. Surprisingly awful range. It's not like the game has high-low mixups but could be used to dodge projectiles coming along the low line and downjumpers.

Occult: UNLIMITED GRAVE STONES
More orbs=more projectiles

Marisa:

Neutral Special: MAGIC POTS. Moving around lets you change the trajectory a little.
Forward Special: LEY LINE CHARGE. Fullscreen good damage fast charge. Unsafe on block so try not to spam it.
Back Special: BROOMNADO. Seems to get larger if used while jumping?
Up Special: STAR FOUNTAIN. Really weak grazeable shots. Maybe as okizeme or area denial while trying to ram your face into the occult ball?
Down Special: BROOM UPPER. Anti-air. Don't whiff.

Occult: FUCKING PERSONA TEDDIE
Item order is fixed: Piano drop->laser painting->dashing statue->slow b-ball dribbler->repeat
More balls=faster startup

Kasen:

Neutral Special: SEAL BALLS. Keep pressing the button to juggle ball farther, but why?
Forward Special: TIGER DUNK, better horizontal range but bad recovery
Back Special: DRAGON SPIT. You can spam this if you don't have time to prepare FREEDOM EAGLE
Up Special: FREEDOM EAGLE. Press A for divekick (don't), press B to FREEDOM TOSS (DO THIS ALL THE TIME). Your charge rainbow shots that look useless are actually relay points for the eagle.
Down Special: ELECTRIC SQUIRREL WHIP. It's fast and you can charge it for more damage.

Occult: GET OVER HERE
Command grab that has shit recovery, is blockable AND grazeable... but still stuffs basically anything the opponent tries to do other than hit you out of it, so you can do hilarious things like interrupt spell cards with it
Holding the buttons sends it out farther, pressing up/down aims it.

Z=A=melee
X=B=shoot
C=C=specials
A=D=declare spellcard

MASH A for autocombo

hold B to charge shot
hold B more to fully charge shot

when occult orb appears in center ram your face into it until that you capture it, prevent your opponent from doing the same
1 orb means you can start using your A+B occult attack, more orbs=stronger
DON'T GET COUNTERATTACKED WHILE USING YOUR OCCULT ATTACK OR YOU GET YOUR ORB STOLEN

If you have 4+ orbs C+D is your yolo spend them all ultra. Doesn't require anything but the 4 orbs.

- MYSTERY SPOT EFFECTS -

Pyramids: Both players' Occult Attacks are at max power. Whatever.
Stonehenge: The stage's left/right walls narrow. Race to see who can juggle combo the other person against the wall for a guaranteed occult ball capture. Dangerous.
Tower of Babel: Touching the Occult Ball's capture field briefly turns it into a projectile that can hit the opponent.
Yomotsu Hirasaka: BIG BLACK HOLE. Stay out of the center. Getting reduced to only white life=dead
Nazca Lines: broken as shit because of the HP recovery. Keep an eye out for the green lines or the word　ナスカ
Hell Valley: Fogs the bottom of the screen and slowly damages players in that area.　Also pretty useless, just don't downjump and forward dash like an idiot and it's literally nothing
Lunar Capital: Slows down most projectile attacks.
