/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Which one? Little Devil? Big Fairy?
Either is correct.

I wonder what went from with Medicine.
She looks pretty generic for sure, was the 9th game just not that popular or something?

>>5216367
The Phantasmagoria-type games suck. Luckily there are only two of them in the series.

>>5216367 was the 9th game just not that popular or something?
That is true.

>>5216377
>>5216385

Funny, Siki and Komachi are plenty popular.

I think Medicine is a pretty nice character. Such a shame that ZUN don't give her any attention.

>>5216377
>>5216385

Funny, Eiki and Komachi are plenty popular.

>>5216393
No they aren't. They're just the most popular of an unpopular bunch.

>>5216385
I liked them.
Then again, I tend to play them with my friend split screen when we meet at either house

>>5216385
I thought they were okay.

They just needed proper online play, because the computer cheats.

Medicine negotiates for the reparations for dolls

>>5216404

But you can 1cc Lunatic in PoFV...

With the harassment characters the AI can't handle.

While I think Medicine is quite cute, there simply is nothing remarkable about her. She could as well be a new doll Alice stitched together...

>>5216404

Well, to be fair, you can't tell between a computer who cheats and some dankmaku diver who's having the dodge of his life.

I wish I have more moments like that.

It was funny to put who lunatic AIs battle each other

A doll that wants revenge against the world is enough to make her appear at least once again

>>5216411

Aya is just broken in general, she fucks up AI and is good against players too. Medicine is useless against players, but outright breaks the game against AI. ZUN must not have programed the AI to compensate for slow (which begs the question: why give Medicine slow?)

If Medicine wasn't full of poison, so she could more easily appear in hentai doujinshi, she would be a lot more popular.

>>5216475
Because it's like slowing poison or something, I guess.

I use Marisa in PoFV.

>>5216487
Well she could paralyze people with poison
rape rape rape rape
rape alice

>>5216487
I keep telling myself that Yamame doesn't get hentai doujin for the same reason.

I almost believe it now.

>>5216487
I think it's fucked up how porn and memes are the primary sources of a character's popularity.

Yep.. guess it's time to finally try PoFV extra again, thanks for motivating me /jp/

>>5216502

The former I'm okay with, since it goes hand in hand with general attractiveness. The latter not so much.

>>5216495
I've only seen her paired with Alice in a doujin (sometimes with Yuuka if not), though Alice is usually the dominant one.

>>5216502
I don't think that's entirely true for everyone. Okuu is pretty popular, and I don't think she's a very common candidate in porn in comparison to many others, and there's definitely a good deal of people that like her just because of her ability.

>>5216529

It's sad, since I think Okuu is pretty hot. I love winged Touhous in general.

>>5216517
>The former I'm okay with, since it goes hand in hand with general attractiveness.
Satori isn't attractive at all from the game portraits, but she gets a metric fuckton of porn. People are just easily swayed by the pornographs.

>>5216529

she doesn't do good porn because one of her arms is a control rod and she has THE UNBLINKING FIREY EYE OF FUCKING SAURON between her gloriously large breasts.

Unless it turns out it's just a giant zipper. We can only hope. Anybody got that pic?

>>5216563
>People are just easily swayed by the pornographs.
News at 11.

>>5216529
so it's the mega buster after all

>>5216563
Porn follows popularity, not the other way around.

>>5216621
How do characters like Momiji get so much porn? There must be some sort of science behind this.

>>5216651
furry shit

>>5216651
Or Yuka. I think it's reasonable to say that most people were introduced to her in PoFV rather than the PC-98 games.

>>5216651
Slut-radius theory - Characters who are sluts also affect the appeared slutiness of the characters they are most in contact with.

Same with Kanako and Suwako.

>>5216673
Hurr durr.

Well, she's still more popular than a certain ferocious bucket loli.

>>5216670
Some of them just have artists that go mental. Either producing a lot of content or enough that others start doing it too. SA had a really slow start until that flash guy started, Yuka and Wriggle took a few artists pairing them up, etc.

Everyone from EoSD is overrated popular, just that not like they're all that good.
inb4 Remilia's fanbois

>>5216708
I think you're right. Most porn of Momiji was just really by a few artists.

It's still a bummer to me how porn basically determines a character's popularity though.

That's okay though, because I will make a grand doujinshi that I will be happy with.

Does porn determine popularity, or does popularity determine porn?

>>5216744
Both, actually.

You fags are forgetting character themes.

>>5216752
Oh. Right. Flandre is extremely popular outside of the actual Touhou community.

>>5216752
Phantom Ensemble/Capital City of Flowers in the Sky is popular as hell, yet the Prismrivers are fairly unpopular, and Lily White even moreso.

>>5216749
It's mostly popularity, though. Nobody draws porn of unpopular characters.

This means all Touhous are popular. And they are.

>>5216776
I think this is how it goes.

-New Touhou

-Porn made of all the characters due to general popularity of the series (except Ichirin)

-Some porn stands out more than others, and the popularity rises more for that specific character.

-Increased popularity means more porn, which continues to fuel the popularity growth

-In the end, we end up with wide popularity gaps, where a few like Okuu manage to escape from this cycle and be popular because of how much badass she has, and most fanart of her ends up being her being more badass.

>>5216799
SCIENCE!

>>5216799
I'm saying popular characters get porn, but that porn doesn't affect their popularity much. Remember, most Touhou doujins are NOT PORN.

>>5216824
I don't know, I think it affects it a reasonable amount, but probably not as much as I was making it out to be. What of the likes of the Aki Sisters? Why are they so unpopular?

>>5216848
Minoriko had a slight bump of popularity in the west for the whole "peeing wine" deal.

I'm glad it never really went crazy, because that was stupid as fuck.

>>5216848
They're boring, don't fit into a group, and their powers aren't interesting. Simple as that.

Notice how ZUN tacked on notes to Kogasa and Nue about them going to hang out with Byakuren? He learned. Though those two would probably be popular regardless.

>>5216824
If all you do is browse /jp/, it's difficult to NOT believe that porn is the only thing that affects popularity.

>>5216863
Suika pissing alcohol is my favorite fanon.

>>5216799
Is ichirin popular?

>>5216873
/jp/ is full of the worst sort of secondaries. Nothing new here.

>>5216385
You do know Touhou 13 will have the same style as 9.

We all know it...

>>5216848
>>5216872
I like the Aki sisters a lot. Their music is nice, their design is some of the best in the series in my eyes, their abilities are modest and reasonable, and they're a funny pair. I love them.

I will make a grand doujinshi of them as well when I learn to draw and write, because they are very deserving of it.

>>5216872
Nue is popular?

>>5216880
No.

>>5216881
no, I'm certain there are much worse places.

>>5216880
I think Unzan is more popular than her. Ha.

>>5216893
no it won't.

>>5216893
Ew. I hope not.

>>5216893
5... 9... 13- Oh shit you might be right.

>>5216905
>>5216899
You do not want to play with me and strengthen your random bullet skills?

>>5216912
>5

>>5216912
Th 5 is not a phantasmagoria game, sir.

>>5216912
It was the third one, yeah?

>>5216913
It's not that I'm too terrible (or able to play online at this time), I just strongly dislike that style of game.

Another Medicine thread
I guess I'll have to post this again

>Medicine is a power slut, read her PoFV scenario, she only cares about her stupid poisonous power and nothing more, she deserves to be as unknown and shitty as she is. Medicine is junk

>>5216949
That's a perfect personality to work on. You have multiple possibilities.

>>5216949
What is with /jp/ and the word sluts?

It's almost as bad as *-fag.

She is still young and silly, eventually, she will become a wise youkai that will use her powers to help people by killing shit like big spiders and termite infestations.

Yumemi and Chiyuri will make a grand comeback.

>>5216385
Spoilers: I have it on good word that touhou 13 is going to be another split screen game.

>>5216395
Funny, they're shit.

>>5216848

Because Minoriko is shit,

>>5217021
They're in their late 20's or 30's now, so no.

>>5217029
PHANTASMAGORIA OF HARMONIC LAKE

>>5218738
they are time travlers though(right?)

>>5218758
Nah, just humans that got into Gensokyo by science or something. Although I guess they could invent a time machine if ZUN wanted to include them whenever.

>>5216335
Well in her defense, the sixth was a very memorable game.

Also I like Medicine's dress.

>>5216572

Come inside little girl... it is cold outside and it is raining

>>5222002
Hold it right there

Keep up the good work, meido.

>>5216824
Touhou was built on a bedrock of porn. You can't escape it.

So, basically, the OC threads should be about Medicine until Japan takes notice and either decides to join the bandwagon or show they can do it better.

>>5216824
>most Touhou doujins are NOT PORN.
lolWHAT!
