Why are all Touhou ice users low tier?

Ice based abilities and freezing things should be amazingly good in bullet hell based setting.

I'm not seeing the logic in your statement, elucidate for me OP.

You could freeze enemy bullets.

FW use that mechanic in a not very polished way, and it's already fun.

High tier frost using Touhou would be great and fun to play in games.

Cirno isn't particularly weak, but because she's a fairy, she's not intelligent enough to be higher tier. Being stronger then some youkai probably means she's as strong as some humans. That alone is great for a fairy.

She was even good enough to be a playable character in PoFV, where Lily was just an annoyance despite being a stage 4 midboss in a game where Cirno was a midboss of stage 1.

>> No.9715958

Maybe someday Cirno will be a playable character in a legit, integer game other than one of the Phantasmagorias.
I can only hope.
But seriously, Cirno isn't low tier, if you take into account the fact that she is part of the weakest species in Gensokyo and can still screw around with the big youkai hunters, and even beat them if they don't take her seriously.

Cirno isn't a winter character, Cirno is a summer character. The game said she's weak in winter because all she can do is make it colder and it's already freezing. Letty is needed as a winter girl, like Lily is needed as a spring girl.
