Resident Fascist Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm super iffy on this game. I was going to buy it, and I still am - But only to keep the title of owning every official Touhou game. Outside Reimu and Marisa, none of my favorite characters are in this game. I mean, the game's system is incredible, but the character choices leave so much to be desired. I'm aware they had to create sprites from scratch and I definately appreciate the fact work has to go into these games, especially when you're walking as a small group, but I really doubt anyone was expecting the characters we got. Ichirin? Honestly, I would've perfered Murasa or Shou. Byakuren and Miko were a given. Futo? Again, I find Seiga a much more intresting character both storyline wise and the potential for her gameplay. Nitori? ...Uhh, that's a pick I actually like. Koishi? I wasn't expecting it, but it's okay. My problems with this come from not who's in the game, but who isn't. So far, I'm sticking with my belief that IaMP, SWR and SWR+Soku are all better because they fit the envisionment of a "Touhou Fighter" better; They feature staple characters, and Hisoutensoku is basicially the closest thing to a Touhou KoF Dream Match-esque game. As I said, none of my favorite characters are in this. Yukari? Nope. Remilia? Nope. Aya? Nope. Sakuya? Nope. Patchouli? Nope. Alice? Nope. Mokou? Nope. Komachi? Nope. Utsuho? Nope. Nue? Nope. I can't bring myself to hate the game, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I still can't believe Sakuya isn't confirmed already. I mean, she's like a staple Touhou character now... Would've been nice to see Murasa, but hey barely anyone remembers her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 My guess is Sakuya won't be in this one because she's not relevant to the story. she's still in DDC though... so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 [spoiler=A bit of leak on the new boss.] Hata no Kokoro The Expressive Poker Face She's "mereiki", a tsugumogami of the legendary kagura/noh masks of Hata no Kawakatsu. She has 66 masks. The "mask of hope" was lost, causing her to go insane. iirc Hata means flag in Japanese, so her name literally means Heart's Flag? Really? [/spoiler] "Poker Face". Really. Think about the insane artworks of her as Lady Gaga and vice-versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vla1ne Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 THIS JUST IN BYAKUREN HAS JIGGLE PHYSICS just happened to be listening this as I watched this sprite... dear god why do they go together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfUe2eckPFQ also so much metal (gear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Okay so Byakuren has the Jiggle Physics. Miko has the FUCKING CAPE. New Character is Lady Gaga. Suika > Mamizou. Koishi is fruedian as ever. Komachi is jealous of Futo's boat, who is jealous of Murasa's even bigger boat. Nitori is Solid Snake. Ichirin punches all the shit. Marisa will be Marisa. Reimu will be Reimu. You're already dead, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 So...IS the full game out yet? Would've been nice to see Mokou and Kaguya in HM, but oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 So I got HM, played a bit with some of the characters, etc.. and I discovered one thing. It refuses to run at a reasonable framerate. It may just be my laptop being shit and old, but it just lags so much I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it as much as I would like. One thing's for sure though, Nitori is really, really good fun to play with. Byakuren is really fast, Futo seems to have a lot combo potential but I haven't played as her a lot. Miko is really reliant on her bar. Seriously. Don't you ever get her Gaijin 4koma guys to be blue, keep it at red as much as you can. Koishi... Koishi is weird. I can't figure out what to do with her, so I guess I'll have to wait until the movesets appear and the English patches arrive. Marisa and Reimu plays a lot like Hisouten and SWR, with Reimu having a lot of homing bullets and Marisa being an excellent rush-type character. Another thing is that if a character gets beaten (not via timeout) in the last round, they explode. Literally explode. They glow yellow, start to float in midair and then explode in a sparkling golden color like any true Touhou game. Stay classy, ZUN. EDIT: Never ever ever ever play this game like SWR, IaMP and Hisouten. Just.. Just don't. I was really confused at first because I played with the traditional layout with Z as Melee, X as weak shot and C as strong shot, and I was deeply confused as to why Nitori kept spamming her stop sign even though I'm mashing X like crazy. Look up the control scheme at Touhou wiki and stick to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume I should expect to suffer beatings in the full version as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
