I mean if her playable character from Mystic Square was any indication, pretty much god tier. More concentrated damage than Marisa despite a wide enough spread to cover a good chunk of the screen. Only downside seems to be a somewhat shorter bomb duration.

Also, go play Mars MatrixMystic Square

"Go on until you're stopped."
Mima's a card-carrying villain who regards messing with Reimu as her job, as opposed to everybody else, for whom it's an enjoyable hobby.

So when Zun said that Reimu was alone in her heart, isn't that kind of a red flag for trauma? Where are the therapists in Gensoukyo?

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clownpiece Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.

I'm glad. The Zun interview about her was really interesting but none of the interesting ideas really seemed to be reflected in the game, so this is cool.

man I did not get any of this god of the disabled god or implications of what was going on in gensokyo stuff when I was reading the translated dialog & story a while back :psyduck:
even the chair thing I didn't think much of, just a new level of haughtiness for the secret elder god not taking you seriously, to contrast with her standing up (or...floating, now, I guess) in the extra



I really appreciate that Zun is by all counts a cool guy who does put a fair amount of thought into what he makes. Like that gets shown in the supplementary materials and character bios of course, but i dunno. Just nice to see it show up in interviews for a game that you can otherwise kind of write off as purely adhoc, I guess?

Well, like SyntheticPolygon said, none of these ideas were really reflected in the game so it's no surprise you don't remember them.

from the way he & the interviewer were talking about it I figured maybe it was some implication that made more sense in japan and didn't land/translate well without the context

ZUN posted:

It's gotten easy to be accidentally insensitive, so you might think that it's be better to go for an easier-to-understand image, but then you could wind up making fun of the disabled. At first the final boss was going to ride in a wheelchair, but that was really difficult. What's left of that is her sitting in a chair.
...
I just can't help but think about everyone who's been discriminated against. This is the kind of thing I can talk about in interviews, but if I did it in the game itself it'd just be annoying. It'd be preachy. Who'd find that fun?

It sounds like he just couldn't think of a way to implement it in game in a way he found satisfactory. It is something that is better suited for manga rather than the couple of sentences exchanged between the characters before they fight.
