Something just occurred to me. Marisa's either pretty unbalanced or pretty unique. I mean, how many games do you know have one of the fastest characters also be one of the strongest as far a power goes. Usually, the fastest would have weak attacks/shots and piss poor defense, and the strongest would be shitslow!

Just some random thoughts.

High speed is less of an asset in a game where the screen is absolutely filled with projectiles. The border team's homing shots and small hit box are far more of an advantage. Also, Marisa's handicapped by Alice, who's possibly the worst character in IN.

I must dissent. Sakuya is the worst charater, her attack is weak and her bombs are completely useless since they aim for familiars and don't even destroy them completely.

Fast doesn't mean good.
Her team is actually the worst one, since it lacks homing or spread shots as well.

marisa has a significantly larger hitbox when compared to reimu in pretty much every game as well

Except being fast sucks in touhou.

I agree and disagree. Alice is by far the worst character, but her speed isn't so much Marisa's handicap as is her streamlined attack that allows a bunch of enemies onscreen as opposed to homing, spreads, and turrets.

Is this a troll? If so, well done.

It's pretty standard for the most damaging ship to also be the fastest. You've not taken into account Marisa only fires forwards, and if she does have any other firing methods (flame throwers, options) they take additional effort to place.

Her speed and damage are counter-balanced by a need for increased knowledge of the stages and setup. Reimu on the other hand, can still kill a boss hiding in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Same goes for the red ship in DoDonPachi, Bolt in Progear, et cetera.

How do you arrange your fingers on the keyboard to do the malice cannon properly? If I keep my index finger on X, middle finger on Z and ring finger on shift, then I can bomb quickly when necessary but I have a hard time mashing the shift key. If I keep my index finger on Z and my middle finger on shift, then I can shift quickly but I can't move my finger in time to bomb when I need to.

Wasn't it agreed ZUN is a drunkard (more so now) because of the artwork explosion of non-QUALITY Touhous. Hence the only way he can draw the characters is to be piss drunk?

I haven't played IN yet, but in PCB I like Sakuya the best for the mix between Marisa's damage output and Reimu's homing attacks.

But she has the hardest primisver I reckon.

Of course. You obviously are new to the toehoes.
