Consider purchasing the game on Steam to support ZUN!

>>34563630
Will it be on sale for the golden week sale?

>>34563764
Probably not

>>34563573
Will it launch today, even if by night?

>>34563630
Nice try, you kappa knock-off! You will NEVER get me to spend my money!

>>34564702
It may come out before noon. Beatmario will start streaming in two hour.

I wonder if the site's gonna crash like the last time even with the game being on Steam

Okay so apparently there's some new stuff in the UM Steam trailer

Sanae and Mamizou cards

Possible Stage 4?

Marisa and Sakuya cards (they were leftover in the game alongside Sanae's shottype card in the demo btw)

>>34565531
damn, what a shit time to have a broken NEET sleep schedule. now I'll have to wake up to spoilers and doomposting

i pray to god it comes out at midnight

it looks pretty fun
I hope the music is as good. Have not touched the demo since I want to not have the music spoiled.
Hope he stopped using that guitar instrument and went back to non overcomplicated harmonies.

>>34568173
bro...

Potentially 30 minutes until release!

beatmario is streaming

https://youtu.be/p-1tGX9n9XY

>>34568410
Ew, a vtuber

>>34568410
Sounds like Beatmario doesn't know when exactly it's being released. He's just hoping it'll be midnight.

>>34568638
Midnight for which timezone?

>>34568710
Japan of course.

As we speak someone out there is drawing mike porn

>>34568243
what? am I being too hopeful?

>>34568831
God that is so fucking hot to imagine
Beating off to that thought rn
Stroking my big cock rn hehe~

The final boss is Kanayago no Kami (Kanayamahiko no Kami/Ama no Mahitosu no Kami/Ichimokuren)
The extra boss is Mahou-sama (Kyuumou-danuki)

Uhhhhh... meido?
Sticky?

A while ago I tried th16 and 17 and found out that my laptop's keyboard can't click two directions at once. Anyone ever run into a problem like that? (same files ran just fine on my desktop, just wondering if it's a hardware issue or something that can be worked around in the software)

>>34569706

look it up

>>34569706
your keyboard is shit membrane
plug external one

>>34569701
sorry but only vtubers and some literally who musicians get stickies on /jp/

Is anyone gonna rip that or should I buy it?

GAME IS OUT. I expect the final boss to be revealed at least a few hours from now

>>34569757
The streams are already at stage 3, give it 20 minutes

>>34569751
Buy it (then rip it yourself. There probably isn’t any DRM)

>>34569757
Within the hour. There are people playing it RIGHT NOW
>>34569751
Buy it and then rip it.

>>34569741
Expected as much, thanks for the reply

>>34569776
What's a good stream to watch?

Is infinite money still possible?

>>34569793
>>34568410

>>34569751
no one is gonna rip it in atleast 2 hours, i wanted to buy it and share it but unfortunately i'm just 3 € short

Stage 4 us fucking awesome, and the theme is precious

>>34570324
As a shitty player who struggles for weeks to beat even TD in Normal, she's close to it, maybe harder than Futo but i need a closer look.

Holy fuck Beatmario is annoying as hell.

>final boss is a blue haired tard with stained glass looking clothes
sad

>>34570335
It's launching steam instead.
What do I do?

>>34570434
Best looking final boss since Miko.

No idea how to remove DRM on this, but luckily the crack is provided here to, hope it works for real. Just felt like sharing the files as soon as I bought the game.
Sorry for being baka like Cirno

>>34570434
Oh God, ZUN learned to do the Dreamworks face.

>>34570434
Are any of the other characters someone that will inevitably be portrayed as a daughter figure to her like Clownpiece, the dancers and Mayumi?

ZUN YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU'RE MEANT TO PUT THE COOL DESIGNS IN THE FULL GAME NOT THE DEMO

Stages 1-5 are all precious, especially Blue Aya and AWOO, but the final / extra boss designs are just atrocious

>>34570498
Fun design

>>34570534
please excuse our insect princess shes from the countryside

>>34570434
Are those zippers? Is she a fashion model or something?

>>34570544
Agreed.

Is Blue Aya actually Aya in blue, or a newhu?

>>34570544
Stage 4 is weird as well.

>>34570498
nice design, but the shovel and pickaxe look awful

I bet the Mini Boss will be the most popular character in this game. Blue Aya a close second.

>>34570578
they're all new but half of them look like palette swaps

>>34570434
I think ZUN has lost it

>>34570498
Nice feet.

>>34570578
you're smart anon, I'm sure you can read her name not being aya shameimaru.

>>34570498
Ah a Minecraft reference

>>34570498
These tools. That not how you play Minecraft.

>>34570578
She's apparently the leader / general of crow tengus, so a newhu / Aya's boss

>>34570480
virus

>>34570630
But she's not lord Tenma.

>>34570609
shhhhh it's part of the disguise

No new fairies/10

>>34570630
But not all tengus, right? It's not Lord Tenma

>>34570175
She looks like she goes no pan

So no oldhus? sad

>>34570434

YEEEEEAH

>>34570646
Enjoy, [P], Piece and Sa ya!

>>34570335
anyone know how to make this work?

>>34570653
There are, they just got new clothes.

>>34570498
jESUS cHRIST the punk is strong in her.

>>34570630
So Tenma?

>>34570653
Why do you expect oldhus? Only a few of the early games had them, and the only later game with one was TD with Yuyuko.

Maybe it's because the stream i saw was on Normal, but did the game look easy for anyone else? Now, it was already known the card system would be imbalanced greatly in favor of the player and break the game in half but even the patterns themselves don't look like crazy stuff to me. Not that it's a bad thing, just wondering if only i am seeing it.

>>34570689
No.

>>34570498
The ribbons and the rings ruin her for me.

I'm not really feeling the music that much.

>>34570696
Dunno. Just woke up.
I haven't seen it yet. I expected the game to be fairly easy, the only thing that might seem difficult are some of the bullet paths and stage 3-like fuckery.

>>34570498
Who is the extra mid boss?

>>34570714
Same.

>>34570742
it's the one-tailed ran from stage 5

>>34570640
>>34570647
No, she's just the leader of crow tengus. Tenma is probably one of the great tengus, which look different from crow and wolf tengus (though we can't say for sure, since we've only ever seen those two kinds of tengus)

>>34570751
Based, she will be the most famous character of the game

>>34570769
waiiiiiiiiiiiit

>>34570753
Tenma is a Daitengu, the leader of Daitengu and all other Tengu.

>>34570769
>大ムカデ
I guess that design makes more sense now.

>>34570772
Pretty easily yeah, since the rest of the new post stage-3 designs are trash.

ZUN really dropping the ball on this one, character wise. The designs only get worse after Mike.

>>34570805
What does it mean

Cracked game, when?

>>34570769
Is this the beggining of a gang rape on Reimu?

>>34570838
He should lower saturation this shit is appalling to color theory

>>34570867
>>34570869
>>34570883
Does she mine because she's a centipede?

>>34570855
Yeah, I get the rainbow motif but some of these color choices would make Lisa Frank blush.

hots

She’s certainly no Keiki

>>34570866
Stage 4 is GODLY, the stage boss theme is good too, the rest I haven't heard yet.

>>34570905
Is this real?

>>34570434
She looks ridiculous, but in an endearing way.

>>34570498
>Sephiroth hair
>Minecraft weapons
Is ZUN hinting that Reimu is coming to Smash Bros?

>>34570932
you cant be serious

>>34570175
How does this outfit even work?

>>34570945
she's like heca but clown vomit
I kinda like it

>>34570951
I hope not.

>>34570923
Keike: knows hows to color, proper artist, has a job as an art teacher.

Megumu: Vomited rainbow colors everywhere, Deviantart tier artist, only lives by drawning on kid's cards game.

Is Mike wearing shorts or a skirt

so which newhu will get the gyate first?

>>34570945
I really don't see that design ever growing on me, even through fanart.

>>34570988
Megumu is the sparkledog of Touhous

Newhu yukkuris when?

>>34570951
Still would make a better theory than some of the shit I’ve seen from the Smash fanbase.

>>34570997
Yeah fanart usually fixes ZUN wonkyness but I can't even see fanart fix that mess unless they tone down the design a lot.

>>34570988
no bully

>>34571007
Do you mean gyate?

>>34570951
No ZUN is hinting that Touhou is coming to Minecraft

>>34571007

I don't remember seeing anything like that beyond the core group of common yukkuri.

Aya in blue is perfect in blue!

Are any of the new characters somehow connected to Miko again? Or was it really just a coincidence it happened two games in a row?

>>34571199
Perfect Blue Aya!

>>34571193
8 loads fine for me. doesn't have a proper thumbnail though

>>34571217
No, but stage 4 touhou could be connected with Keike

Did ZUN develop a short hair fetish or something? where are the girls with hair that touches the floor?

>>34570932
Sanae is not naked, its not real.

>>34571346

So the centipede is the extra boss?

So Touhou on Steam really does have (basic) DRM after all. I've been lied to.
I'm replacing my version with ZUN'd CD rip as soon as a physical release comes out.

I love these wild poses ZUN gives to newhus.

>>34571595
steamapi.dll is included on all games by default to be on the store, its up to the dev/publisher if they remove it after.

I REALLY like how tight her shorts look

>>34571513
Yes

>>34571614
unless I'm missing something it doesn't on my machine

>>34571615
more fluffy tail

Stage 4 theme is very chill and comfy and works with the stage overall, but it doesn't really have a hook or a memorable melody
Stage 4 boss theme takes time to build up, but overall it's pretty balling
Stage 5 theme is pretty unremarkable for the most part, but the stage itself is stunning
Stage 5 boss theme is utter garbage, and I do mean this is the lowest ZUN has gone in a long time. No matter how much the theme builds up, it's just extremely underwhelming. Stage 5 boss themes have always been one of the high points of all the games, but this one breaks the streak of great stage 5 boss themes. A shame.
Stage 6 stage theme is of course stellar, as they generally tend to be.
Stage 6 boss theme is so-so. There's some parts I like but it's just underwhelming especially after Keiki's theme which was really intense. It'll probably grow on me but not a good first impression overall.
Extra stage theme is glorious. Where was this in the regular mode?
Extra boss theme is okay. Just okay.

Overall a pretty weak soundtrack but whenever I say that I usually end up really enjoying it down the line.

>>34571629
Anon, you know what you must do

>>34571614
I mean, even after putting a cracked steamapi.dll, trying to launch th18.exe still opens steam. Meaning either there's a bit more than that, or whoever uploaded >>34570335 replaced the .exe with a Steam launcher just to fuck with people.

I did it to the demo for UM with no real effort at all. I’d be surprised if the final game was any different.

>>34572458
Was about to say this.

>>34572268
Good character design is very hard, especially when you do it for the same series for over two decades.

>>34570434
Fucking Deviant Art tier

>>34572490
Cool. I just download the thpatch for it and drop it in the same folder as the game right?

ZUN outsourced the character design to his children. Please understand.

>>34572268
He just needs to never embrace rainbows ever again. It worked great on Tenshi, but this game is a fashion disaster, even by Touhou standards.

ahahahahaha

>>34570434
I love this design.

I like the colors and the personality and any cape with a moving image on it is an instant 10/10 for me.

it's ok

>these designs
Touhou is declining

>>34572422
Today isn't the 4th.

Idk. BRB in like 20 hours.

>>34572601
fashionable!

>>34572620
Unironically this

>>34572638
That explains her choice of clothes in 15.

I thought ZUN said this was a game he was really proud of, since he had lots of time to work on it with Corona

Are there at least any fun new card references? Do we have a Mima card?

There a translation up anywhere yet? Doesnt have to be an ingame mod, I dont mind alttabbing to a browser. I’d just like to know what they say.

>>34572572
kinda based

>>34572677
the game was out only for a few hours man....

>>34571595
I'll just wait for the rip.
I'm a bit late to transfer anything right now.

the designs will grow on you, all you need is patience.

I can't wait till all you autists get over it and start being horny for these designs. I remember when Clownpiece was first shown this entire board fucking lost its shit and the same "ZUN HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS OH NO 2HU IS DEAD, now you have loli-lust threads for her every goddamn week. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes, I guess.

>>34572749
It happens with every new Touhou game

>>34572749
Normally, I'd agree, and 95% of the time I get used to it. Some of these designs are so fucking busy though that I think they need a ground up revision to be workable.

>>34572777
Checked

>>34570080
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

HMMMMMMMMMMM

TODAY I SHALL RUIN THE CHARACTER DESIGNS OF A TOUHOU GAME

>>34572268
We say this every game, but this time it's true.

>>34572777
I can already see the skintight outfit with abs on one of them. It will be glorious.

>>34572777
>now you have loli-lust threads for her every goddamn week.
/jp/ has always lusted over lolis.

>>34572268
the only bad ones are stage 4 and 6 boss

>>34572749
Discount Ran is the only remotely good design here.

jesus, what the fuck

>>34572777

>>34572183
Looks like >>34570200 also works, I just went with the Mega version because it looked more trustworthy. But alas it wasn't.

>Pic:
Achievement: see another ending; use her own card on the last guy

>comments:
ya the character design is kinda avant-garde;
I do feel like ZUN is trying to break with tradition, either in system, design or music
if you feel pain, you could wait for next interview for explanations, or just fuck these girls hard with coming doujins

But this time the story not only revolve around the card incident, but also gives some interesting details concerning the whole gensokyo world:
the 4th stage being named Izanagi Object, which is related to the Hifuu Club series
the stage 4 boss being the producer of Reimu's yin-yang orb
the stage 5 boss being the general of crow tengus
the stage 6 boss being able to use sakuya's knives & others' spellcards

and now we definitely need more details of them, so I'm gonna post the texts attached to the game
but too lazy to translate them for now

the final boss is the inverse of utsuho

>>34572422
TH17 happened before the vtuber invasion, it was a time where mods actually cared about /jp/ besides a few generals that shouldn't even be here. I can't expect anything this time.
Anyway, I tried the game on Easy to see if I'm as rusty as I thought I was, and the answer was yes but I still beat it anyway (thankfully). Chimata looks like she's complete ass to fight, holy shit 1.5 survival spellcard fuck you rainbow Alice

>>34572889
ho 2 u?

Final Boss theme is really underwhelming. I also dont really like the characters. Double Dealing Character was the last Touhou game cared about and the last one with good designs. There are still some good tracks in the later games though

>>34572749
I'm not a doomposter so I already like them.

古の鉱物から勾玉を作り出す神様。

　　僅かだが、能力や気質、記憶までもコピーして収めることが出来るのである。
　　勾玉の力を使えば、能力をコピーしたり、相手の情報を読み取ったりする事は容易
い。

　　虹龍洞で採掘されている龍珠は勾玉を作るのに向いている鉱物だ。
　　大天狗が山に穴を開けまくって掘り出していると知り、彼女は慌てて現地調査に来
ていた。
　　龍珠が悪の手に渡ると危険だからである。更に言うと、山の環境破壊も気になって
いた。
　　欲望のままに山を切り崩し、資源が尽きると共にうち捨てられた鉱山跡を沢山見て
きたからだ。

　　虹龍洞は複雑に入り組んでいて、全貌はようと知れなかった。
　　調査中に、人間が乗り込んできた。
　　勾玉の力を使って目的を調べると、どうやらアビリティカードの調査をしているら
しい。
　　この先は人間が入れる場所ではないと追い返した。

　　彼女は虹龍洞の調査を続けた。
　　奥にいたのは山を掘り続ける危険な妖怪、大ムカデだった……。

山の頂上付近にすむ大天狗の一人。
　　天狗の社会は縦社会で、大天狗は天狗社会の中のボスに相当する存在である。
　　なので普通の天狗に命令を出すことも出来る。大天狗の命令は絶対だ。
　　山に棲む他の妖怪にも命令を出すこともあるが。こちらは逆らう者もいる。

　　命令する権利があるからといって、私利私欲の為に命令することはほぼ無い。
　　大天狗には天狗の社会を成長、維持させる義務があるのである。

　　彼女は山に眠っていた龍珠に目を付けた。
　　龍珠には勾玉に加工しなくても、ほんの僅か魂を込める効果がある。
　　これを使って交換したくなる娯楽品を作れば、一儲け出来るだろう。

　　しかし、ただ作って売るだけでは儲けも一時的でたかが知れているだろう。
　　
　　そこで彼女は、広く流通させて、交換専用の通貨システムを構築する事にした。
　　カードの売人が交換する度に、通貨システムが広まりそれで儲けられると言う訳だ
。
　　物を作って売るより、大儲けできる事が判っていた。

　　しかし、その為に必要なのは、独自の通貨システムで交換しなければいけない理由
である。
　　そこで目を付けたのが、行き場を失って今にも消え入りそうだった『市場の神』だ
った。
　　市場の神の力で売買を成立させた場合のみ、カードの魔力が補充されて、アビリテ
ィカードの
　　能力が発現する仕掛けである。それ以外ではただの紙切れに過ぎない。

　　大天狗の目論見どおり、アビリティカードは自由に流通し、十分な利益を上げた。

　　しかしそこで問題が発生した。
　　カードの流通が活性化した結果、市場の神が本来の力を取り戻し、天狗の社会を
　　脅かしかねないところまで来ていたのだ。

Stage 5 midboss
五面道中 耳元で囁く邪悪な白狐
菅牧 典（くだまき　つかさ）Kudamaki Tsukasa
種族：管狐
能力：魂の弱い所に入り込む程度の能力

飯綱丸龍の頼りになる右腕で、命令以上の結果を出す……と思われている。
　　実際には相手の心の隙間に忍び込み、混乱を引き起こす元凶である。

　　大天狗と市場の神の間を取り持ったり、大ムカデに指示したりと、何かと忙しいよ
うである。
　　大天狗からも市場の神からも、大ムカデからも信頼されおり何かと相談を受けたり
している。

　　しかし彼女の正体は管狐だ。

　　彼女の助言を聞いた者は金銭的に恩恵を受けるだろう。
　　その代わり破滅的な結果が待っていることも忘れてはいけない。

　　市場の神も大ムカデも、霊夢達と戦うはめになった元凶は、結局は彼女の囁きなの
だ。

>the stage 4 boss being the producer of Reimu's yin-yang orb
DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHO ELSE KNEW A TON ABOUT REIMU'S YIN YANG ORB AND IT'S POWERS?

MIMA

HOLY CRAP

Oh man I'm so excited. Between this being a very clear set up to a future plot point, and Cheating Detective Satori, it's so painfully obvious now that ZUN is setting up for Mima's grandiose return to Touhou. He's probably had this brewing for years and getting all of the pieces on the table, and now that we're getting closer to her return, the most blatant ones are here. I wonder what hints in other touhou stuff alluding to Mima we've missed? I'll have to check it for smaller bits.

Holy shit guys, this is exciting as hell stuff! Brace yourself, she WILL be returning soon!

>>34572749
The rainbow girl was a hard pill to shallow, but she's so bizarre I already like her

Yeah, as expected from the tribe that made Aya a thing.

FINAL STAGE 月虹市場

六面 boss 無主物の神
天弓 千亦（てんきゅう　ちまた）Tenkyu Chimata
種族：神様
能力：所有権を失わせる程度の能力

　　人間にとって、物を手放すことは難しい。
　　誰かにあげたとしても、その人からの頂き物という情報が残り続ける。
　　ゴミ箱に捨てたとしても、山に不法投棄したとしても、誰が捨てたという情報が残
り続ける。
　　所有権を失うことは容易ではないのだ。

　　しかし完全にそれが行える場所がある。
　　人が唯一物を交換できる場所、それが市場だ。
　　市場で売る事によって、完全に所有権を失うことが出来る。

　　彼女はそれを司る神様である。

　　最近は市場を介さないで物の売買を行う事が増え、結果所有権が氾濫している事を
嘆いていた。

　　飯綱丸から市場を開いて欲しいと持ちかけられたとき、このチャンスを逃す物かと
、
　　本来の市場のように、厳しい条件を付けて売買するのなら協力すると答えた。

　　彼女は飯綱丸のビジネスに利用されている事ぐらい重々承知の上だった。
　　ビジネスが成功する頃には、神様としての力も取り戻し、大天狗ごとき恐れるに足
らずだと
　　思っていたからである。

　　最初の市場は、月に虹が架かったとき、山の頂上で開かれた。
　　参加者は千亦、飯綱丸、管狐の典、大ムカデの百々世だけだった。

　　初めての市場では、自らの能力を封じ込めたカードを売買した。
　　彼女達は月虹の下、カードを交換しあった。
　　目論見通り、カードに込められた複製の能力は、複製元の所有者から
　　完全に切り離されて新たな所有者の能力の一部となった。
　　その結果に、飯綱丸も百々世も大興奮したのである。

　　その後は幾度となく市場が開かれ、山を中心にカードは広く流通した。
　　カードの能力を使うには、ルールに則って購入しなければいけない。
　　奪ったり捨てたり、拾ったり貰ったり、では駄目なのだ。

　　それは、市場の神である千亦が力を得るためのルールだった。
　　飯綱丸は市場をビジネスだと思っているが、千亦にとっては神の力を取り戻す為の
祭事だったのだ。

　　二人の軋轢が表に出始めた頃、全てを終わらす破壊者がやってくる。
　　その破壊者は暴力で物を解決しようとする、いわゆる市場の破壊者『賊』と呼ばれ
た。


　　奇しくも人間の『賊』がやってきたのは、最初の市場と同じ、月に虹が架かった夜
だった。

Reimu's mom is going to have some nice /ss/ material, Blue Aya is pretty cute, flat fox is extremely cute, Rainbow Alice looks silly but cool at the same time with her sky cape and zippers everywhere, Minecraftouhou is pretty cool as well. I don't see any issue.

>>34573194
I can't fucking believe the IRS is canon in Touhou

>>34573114
Even if I think about Mima as the first thing while reading that, I didn't assume it's really related to her. At least I expect Misumaru to knows about the Hakurei God, and even so I don't think she is telling to Reimu, or who knows.

>>34573145
I love mike and the fox girl in the TIGHT suit

>>34572749
Either I lower my standards more and more with time or just associate them with the fanart versions that fix the designs anyway

Extra Story
エキストラストーリー
アビリティカードは山の妖怪と神様の制作物だった。
　どうやら本当にただの娯楽品で、危険性は低いと思われる。

　しかしその道中の、虹龍洞で出会った謎の人物と謎の鉱物。
　彼女の存在は神様も大天狗も知らないらしい。大天狗はそいつを盗掘者だ
　と決めつけ、狐を使いに出した。何やら争いが起こりそうな予感がする。

　大きな争いになる前に行かなければ！

　しかし、虹龍洞は酸素が少ない。人間が立ち入れぬ場所である。
　そういえば市場の神を倒したとき、無酸素でも呼吸が出来るアビリティ
　カードを手に入れていたのを思い出した。

　さあ、そのカードの能力を使い、いざ坑道へ行かん。
　虹龍洞の真実を曝くのだ！


EX boss 黒きドラゴンイーター
姫虫 百々世　（ひめむし ももよ）
Himemushi Momoyo
種族：大蜈蚣
能力：龍を食べる程度の能力

大蜈蚣（オオムカデ）
　　醜悪なフォルム、不快な毒、何かと嫌われ者の妖怪である。
　　強大な存在である龍ですら近づかない。麓では龍殺しの最強の妖怪だと恐れられて
いる。

　　浴びせられる負のオーラから錬成した魔力は膨大であり、彼女は強力な魔力を持っ
ている。
　　そもそも近づこうとする者も少なく、それも彼女の最強伝説に拍車を掛けている。

　　本当のところ、龍を食べられるのかどうか誰も知らない。


　　だが虹龍洞で、龍の持ち物だと言われている『龍珠』を漁っていたのは本当だ。
　　彼女が洞窟から龍珠を掘り出したところ、自分に会う事を厭わない親友の大天狗、
　　飯綱丸からビジネスの話を持ちかけられた。

　　百々世は、山を削り虹龍洞を掘る役を引き受けた。報酬は龍珠である。
　　親友である大天狗、龍（めぐむ）を食べる代わりとして、龍珠は十分だった。


　　毎日せっせと龍珠を掘り出していたところ、ついに盗掘者が現れたと聞かされた。
　　もちろん、彼女は喜んだ。

　　　『もう龍珠は食い飽きた。
　　　　盗掘者なんて、最高のデザートだぜ！』

Seriously, what's with the fucking zippers and atrocious colors?

>>34573194
RAINBOW YUMEMI!

why does she have zips everywhere

>>34573282
Sorry greenman but I can already see Chimata's zippers coming undone all at the same time and leaving her naked. Combined with the cape, she's the new official exhibitionism 2hu.

>>34573194
The smug is only good part of this hideous design

>>34573251
>>34573327
Poor Yachie and Meiling

The 1-3 designs were all ok and cool. But the last boss and extra boss is just horrendous.

>>34573315
Hecatia end up great for some reason. Her design is indeed out-of-Touhou style at the time but in the end there's nothing wrong with black and red, and some colored skirt.
Chimata's issue is the bad mesh of colors which really hurt the overall design. It could be okay otherwise.

>>34572601
Why does that look so good?

itt: anons learn about color theory

>>34573367
After seeing her gyate she's not ugly, but her clothes really are

>>34573420
Extra boss is fine. She reminds me of Nemuno though.

Tenkyu is gonna get the Yukari treatment. Show up in one game with a fuck-ugly dress and then never, ever wear it ever again in favor of something actually stylish. That being said, I miss Yukari's granny dress a little.

fix the bosses designs

>>34573420
She's just a god who likes rainbows (a lot), sure it's a rather impactful design but I really don't think it's looks as awful as you people are saying. She even zipped the colors in a logical rainbow order. And then there's also the cape and sky-textured hair.
All in all she sure looks more interesting than Keiki did at first, and then everyone grew into the cake anyway.

>>34573451
I'll color theory your ass by filling it with white, faggot.
>>34573528
>and then everyone grew into the cake anyway.
No they didn't.
Literally no one cares about her even now.
Why there must always be slurpers like you around?

do not respond to extreme doomers

>>34573315
>>34573420
Fuck no.
Hecatia's fashion may be ugly but her design is exceedingly simple. Just a loose t-shirt and skirt. Quick and to the point. She doesn't have a 1000 accessories hanging over herself nor is she a clusterfuck of 1000 colors that would make even a deviantart furry oc kid blush from embarrassment.

>>34573542
Everyone I've seen in the occasional threads made for her, at least.
You should consider taking that stick out of your ass and taking it easy sometimes.

Why are you idiots always like this...

>>34573542
>No they didn't.
someone has been living under a rock

>>34573528
CREATE is great, fuck off.

>>34573528
Ms. Rainbow is fine, I just wish she used gradients instead of zippers so my eyes bleed less when I look at her.

>>34573580
People have varying aesthetics so each game is inherently not going to appeal to some people. This should not be shocking to you.

>>34573597
I know, anon, what I meant is that when she was revealed I recall a bunch of people going just "eh that's it?" for her and then the popular opinion of her slowly got better. Meanwhile, Chimata blasts you with the whole rainbow, a cape with a sky texture, zippers, and a silly pose all at once.

>>34573611
Except it's the same thing every fucking time.

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LOOK AT THIS MIKO. JUST FUCKING LOOK AT HER.

>>34573649
Once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern, four times is a standard.
Guess the problem here is ZUN after all then.

any tips for extra? what cards should I use?

>>34573663
ahhh, the crown prince is so cool
I want to marry her

What's the story of stage 6 boss?

>>34573663
When will Miko use her sword as a sword rather than a laser gun? I like lasers but you can mix it up a little.

>>34573675
buy the phoenix if you can

>>34570498
Extra bosses are reclining. I bet she will be completely forgotten, just like Saki.

Did the infinite card glitch get fixed?

Zun has lost his touch

what do the japs think of the new designs?

>>34573753
>forgotten, just like Saki.
In what fucking universe?

>>34573753
Who are you quoting?

>>34573725
Fan art is gonna fix Chimata so bad, it's not even funny.

>>34573766
yes

>>34573778

>>34573725
She looks really good like that

I like her design.

>>34573810

>>34573831
I was waiting for this as soon as I saw her design lol

>>34573777
saki is such a good design

>>34573831
Iku's rave partner.

If the colors were subdued, and maybe in the form of a gradient, Chimata's design could really work

>>34573542
Fool. The majority agreed that Keiki is the best thing came out of WBaWC. Her theme remixes and fanarts were pouring out on first year and she ranked 36 on latest popularity poll out 100 characters (she is above many iconic old characters by now).
Maybe go out sometime instead of sticking in mongolian imageboard.

>>34573951
yeah he could stick to the actual japanese imageboards which have more 2hu content than 4chan

>>34573899
Honestly this image made me appreciate her design for what it is, it looks fucking stupid but i think that's cool

>>34573542
dumb nigger

The extra stage theme is so fucking good.

Im not afraid for the Stage 4-EX folks, the final boss, EX boss and characters related to them always end up having diehard loyal fans even if said fans don't amass to a giant group. And they still tend to get attention from artists who draw character from all games as they tend to be the most important characters in said games.

One of the stages is named Izanagi Object, but skimming through the profiles it seems theres nothing really related to the Izanagi Plate. Whats up with that?
Is it just another quirky reference like Beast Metropolis also sounding like the song Izanagi Object? Stop cockteasing me ZUN

>>34574230
I think Kouryuudou is the cave that Maribel saw in Izanagi Object. The rock she brought back with her is the 龍珠 which Megumu used to make the cards. Rereading Izanagi object makes me wonder why I didn't see anyone bring it up when theorising about the game.

>>34573663
cute

>>34573769
>Zun
who?

>>34573889

>>34574212
Miko was the only final boss who didn't get much attention at the beginning because of how underwhelming TD was overall compared to its predecessors, and the only past character she could connect to is Byakuren. The later works, especially fighting games really fixed her characters a lot.

>>34574212
At the end of the day, people will always care about final bosses even if it's just for lore/story.

I'll probably check pixiv later.

>>34574574
There's already plenty of art.

What sound does the fox make?

>>34573018

>>34574611
Noiiiiiiiice

MODS ARE FAGS
STICKY NOW!

>>34574693
Being a tengu general I'm hoping that she is more like traditional tengu known for great mystical powers or like an army general. If she is another fake news then eh.

>>34574873
It also takes some of your shot power

>>34574345
I want the translation of the game story and characters NOW!
Holy shit, Zun you bastard genius

MODS ARE CHADS
NO STICKY NOW!

Of all the songs ZUN could have chosen to arrange, he chose Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 for the Extra stage theme. I'm impressed.

There you go, Reimufags. ZUN seems to have adjusted her power and she's basically broken now. You happy?

>>34570100
Megumu notably very len'enish

>>34575047
yes

>>34575047
Is she really that much stronger? Marisa might also have been toned down a bit given how I didn't melt everything down instantly on this quick easy run I just did, I'll check the maid and the slut later.

>>34570100
len'en is not THAT bad come on

>>34575012
>>34573251
>Ex boss is a dragon-eater
>Stage theme uses Meiling's theme as a leitmotif
Is this Zun's roundabout way of confirming that Meiling is a dragon?
