Falken posted:Thing is though, if Touhou games were on steam I'd be buying them. Kerbal Space Program (oi, paging Dr. Sunshine.) was put on steam recently and it shot through the charts so I would imagine given the vast playerbase of western Touhou fans it'd work incredibly well. I know I promised.  Stupidly enough, it's because I started playing Kerbal Space Program again to get inspiration and ended up getting sucked into it, haha!But you know, isn't it because of some kind of licensing or copyright issue that ZUN doesn't want to sell his game on Steam? I heard that somewhere back in one of the older threads the last time the issue came up.

Apparently, Gensokyo's human village is a town transported from the Old West and given a Japanese facade. I am not opposed to this.

Namtab posted:It's more like Reimu respects the gods, but unlike Sanae she doesn't spend all her time on it. It's not that she's not spiritual, it's more that she kinda takes the gods for granted.  Man, using the concepts "Deepest character" and "Touhou" in the same context just gives me the most massive case of cognitive dissonance. -- are you saying this unironically?

Yes, I'm reasonably (95% CI) confident that the new game will A) take place in Gensokyo, and B) involve girls in frilly outfits. However, this begs the question: Where is Gensokyo? Hold on! Let me Google it...  ...I don't think I can get there by public transit.

How many bars do you get in Gensokyo? Does the network there have at least 3G coverage? I cannot live without my mobile connection. EDIT: Is it safe there?

There should be an autofire toggle button. Just tap "G" or something, and it'll automatically continue firing shots until you tap it again, thus leaving you free to concentrate on dodging and bombing.

HGH posted:Man, look at that evil cape. She looks like a silly RPG villain now. It would be cool if she could actually summon those guys as an assist. Also, n'th-ing the opinion that Alphes is kind of a terrible artist. He's good at making exactly one cute face, possibly making the  expression, but everything else is just a lot of polish on some poor fundamentals. Of course, I shouldn't be one to judge, but I know stubby arms and sausage fingers when I see 'em.

BlitzBlast posted:Also there's this. I'm rather disappointed at this. All the fighting games had previously assiduously avoided this sort of fighting game trope, and it's unfortunate that they decided to start with this sort of thing now. Nitori's gadget copter rocks, though. EDIT: Goddamnit, now I have the Inspector Gadget theme in my head. It'll be forever associated with Nitori in my mind from now on.

Insurrectionist posted:I just realized that for the last 4 main TH games, each has had the first three bosses be 2 with bare heads and one with some kind of headwear, and only Yuyuko as a repeating character has had a hat. For years, the demos have not given us a single new hat to marvel at. Where are the hats Zun? You can't short-change us like this! I am still waiting for the Touhou with a bonnet or a nun's wimple.   But the problem with these, I guess, is that they'd make it hard to see the   faces.

Clarste posted:Youmu doesn't have a hat, does she? Tenshi has a hat and sword, but the sword is made of magic insted of steel so I'm not sure if that counts. There are a few other swords, but they're generally hatless... The ratio of hatless Touhous relative to hatted Touhous has been increasing with respect to time. If this trend continues, by 2099, more than 90% of all Touhous will not have hats.

This is impossible. Everyone knows that if a hatted-Touhou lost her hat she would die. It contains all her vital life-functions, much like the cephalon of a squid, cuttlefish, or octopus. Including the very important danmaku-excretion organ.

Question: Is Sakuya capable of time travel? If so, is it both backwards and forwards, or just one of the two? Or does she only produce temporal stasis? Is her stasis effect universal, or is it restricted to a localized temporal distortion?

TOO SCSI FOR MY CAT posted:According to the wiki her PMISS profile says she has the ability to reverse time but is unable to violate causality, which would strongly limit what she could do with time-reversal. Aww.  See I was thinking it'd be fun to draw a short story comic involving time travel and paradoxes that'd wind up with about 4 copies of Sakuya coexisting at once-- the "present Sakuya", one from the future, one from the past, and one from the future-Sakuya's past that is still in the future for the present Sakuya.

Clarste posted:One of her skills cards in Soku is "Time Paradox" where she sends forward a time clone to hit the enemy with a dash attack. One of her spellcards in IN is "Deflation World" where she summons the past and future of all her knives into the present. And don't get me started on "Imaginary Vertical Time". So, do whatever you like. So it seems that although she herself cannot travel back into the past to change it, she can summon stuff from the past and the future into the present? Instead of you going to the past, you bring the past to you? What if she tried summoning herself?

Kheldragar posted:A thought came through my mind a long time ago when I was thinking about Satori's power to read the concious mind. Let's assume that there was someone whose native language was not Japanese, and as such, they thought in whatever foreign language they happened to be born under. And let's also say that they happen to visit Chireiden. If Satori were to read that person's concious, active mind, what would she "hear"? Would she hear exactly was it being thought - to her, the gibberish of a foreign language. Or would she hear a somewhat translated version of what they're thinking to Japanese - barring the fact that some things cannot be translated succintly or at all. Nitori invented the Universal Translator.

Volt Catfish posted:No. People who think that are wrong. The easiest older game is Perfect Cherry Blossom and the easiest newer game is Mountain of Faith. But it's true though! I am terrible at Touhou games, and the only game I ever actually finished, on Easy mode, was Impossible Night. Sure, it took a continue or two, but I finished it! I've had no such luck with any of the other games.

Personally speaking, it's that very fact about the fandom surrounding this game that has a 100% female cast, that was a high barrier to entry for me in the first place. Like it or not, it is very intimidating that the most visible thing about the franchise -- its large fan-base-activity -- is so heavily dominated by males.
