I've been playing TH14.5 and seriously, why is Shinmyoumaru even in the game? She's not a particularly interesting character, she's not popular and she's not linked in any way to the plot or any other character of the game. She's just there wanting to be bigger and that's it.
Why would they waste time, effort and a character slot into making a character such like this? They're not even fleshing her out.
And to make things worse, it makes her size even more confusing. Why is she so big in this game? Didn't she return to being small after TH14?

I get where you are coming from and I mostly agree with you, but you have to understand that ZUN adds characters to the fighting games, because he thinks they might be fun together. No other reason. (Just look at Soku)

All the arranges of the character themes in this game are mediocre at best. I wish they hadn't decided to use popular doujin circles to make the songs, a lot of them are butchered.

>> No.18094005

>>18093926
Soku reintroduced Meiling and added very popular characters like Cirno, Utsuho and Sanae. Sanae was obligatory anyway because of her quasi-protagonist status. Suwako is the only odd one, and even then she's quite popular. But Sukuna is just sort of there.
It's the feeling I'm getting with Doremy, except it looks like she'll be somehow linked to the plot.

And this game has some of the most retarded sprite poses/animations I've seen in an official game. They're so overdone and stilted. Just look at Byakuren's hands/fingers. And how the wind is so extreme that it makes her boobs jiggle exaggeratedly, so much that it makes her rosary bounce.

>>18099717
>mostly lighthearted
Mokou is sick of living and she's looking for the Occult Spheres that she thinks will allow her to finally die.
In contrast to IN's storyline, where she's just being pranked by Kaguya.
Also, how does that justify that insufferably long intro?

It's a cheap way to give animation. It would cost a lot more if they moved their limbs in more complicated ways, since you can't copypaste and edit anymore.

I understand you're a secondary who has only listened the songs on YouTube or something, but how many times is Mokou's theme played in the story mode? Zero. What narrative is it supposed to fit? And even if it was featured, how does "a one minute intro" fit the narrative of the game? A game that already features pre-battle songs that act as intros, by the way.

To be fair, some of them really are bad. Like Byakuren's or Mamizou's. Hopefully the translators will make a music patch for AoCF that replaces the ULiL holdover character themes with the ones from HM, like they did for ULiL.

I know. Byakuren's portrayal in all the fighting games has been terrible, she doesn't feel like the same character she was in UFO. I think they overplayed her Buddhist Monk facet forgetting how she was in her debut.

And then there's the overly silly Motorbike gimmick, but a lot of characters in this game have an excessive silliness. If that wasn't enough, they'll add Doremy who looks like a joke character with her becoming a mechanic, her vacuum cleaner (what???) and her sheeps. Those Dream Cities she summoned in the trailer look promising though, although I'm afraid that will be a story mode spellcard.
