Reimu + Doomguy is the most forced "alliance" in rosterfag history.
(You)
Its actually goku and sora
Not so fast
Sans won't be in smash.
Undyne or Toriel would make more sense.
Next fighter is revealed at Evo the last is at VGA
We'll get indie Mii costumes for Shantae and Shovel Knight but they won't come with a character
Geno and Skull Kid
The Fearsome Five
I would love Terry
I fucking hate how Tabbender's obsession with getting Yea Forums to give two shits about Discordfaggotry has made Reimufags an even bigger joke somehow
I'm thinking you mean these two.
Why are you faggots still discussing this shit when the Sideshow Bob leaker has been getting every character reveal and is predicting real life events to an uncanny level INCLUDING PP and Joker
Tabbender is beyond delusional
He genuinely believes Leonposters are all in on his discord war and that everyone is targetting him, falseflagging him, etc
Reimu and Doomguy would be nice, but Frogger is in
Being a Reimufag is suffering because we all know she probably won't be in.
Wrong
because the sideshow bob leaker doesn't exist
Reposting from last thread, here are the reasons why the following "characters" aren't going to be in Smash:
>Monster Hunter
Already represented in game with Rathalos. Wouldn't be exciting or surprising if revealed. Capcom has better potential reps
>Amaterasu
More irrelevant than Banjo. Uninteresting literal who to every region. Capcom has better potential reps
>Phoenix Wright
No move set potential. Prove me wrong. He's not a blank slate like certain Smash characters. Don't pull shit out of your ass.
>Reimu
Literal who. Doesn't even have a official series logo. Generic anime girl. The new Steve
>Agumon
Design is too boring and generic. Would be neat, but started as a digital pet toy, barely even a video game
>Kasumi
Wouldn't get in before Ryu Hayabusa. Boring design, uninteresting move set. Not worth dealing with CERO
>Llyod Irving
Boring anime character. Expecting three JRPG protags in the same Fighter's Pass? Fuck out of here.
>Sylux, Porky, Byleth
Not expecting anything 1st party in the current Fighter's Pass. Porky would be cool, I guess
>Undertale anything
Doesn't need an explanation. You're a retard if you expect Sans and brain dead if you expect Frisk/Chara
>Rayman
Spirit, also boring as sin
>Any RE rep
Has a chance but unlikely since boring move set potential. No, they wouldn't have Jill spawn zombies, you fucking retard
>Steve
Not as popular as Minecraft. Boring character with a boring move set. Works better as a stage.
>Heihachi
Was rooting for him initially but in hindsight, is pretty boring. Both VAs are dead. Let the character rot in PSASBR
>Klonoa
More irrelevant than Banjo. Wouldn't get in before Crash
>Kos Mos
Fucking who? Seriously, who bitch this is?
>Morrigan, Mai, Nakoruru
Two are a CERO nightmare and the other is a literal who. You do the math
>Shantae
Shoot yourself in the skull
I also wouldn't want Crash if they're forced to use that butchered design and dance from the remake.
>Ps4 store has the best layout.

Reimu ishot.
Is that green guy Tabbender?
Porky with a Tazmily stage is basically confirmed at this point.
Yes. Tabbender avatarfags with Homestuck images.
>Just because someone wants Doomguy and Reimu they're part of some discord shit
Discordfags piggybacked off this "alliance", not the other way around
So are Undertalefags the new Shantaefags?
Mods should delete these shitpost threads
>Implying it isn't just one guy doing the falseflagging, anti-characterfagging, etc
No, these are.
Better than those smash headcanon or reboot threads.
At least this is entertaining.
Reboot threads are the worst
No they aren't, that's the problem. They're all the same shit with the same posters and the same pictures.
joker
hero
banjo
chosen undead
doom marine
Fuck you.
But he's right though.
>HURR DURR THEY'RE GONNA CUT 65543432 CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT MONEY XD

Sorry but you're wrong there.

It's the only way to make roster discussion interesting, otherwise all it is is a bunch of autistic faggots who jerk each other off about stuffing and bloating the roster with as much bullshit as possible.
LEON! GET AWAY FROM THAT REDHEAD ANIME GIRL RIGHT THIS SECOND! WE'VE GOT MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS.. LIKE THE TOPIC OF MY SISTER, CLAIRE. PLEASE LEON BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE YOU GOTTA FUCK HER, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AFTER THE KID I'LL DO THAT, JUST PLEASE, CONTINUE THE REDFIELD BLOODLINE!!
Is the fanime any good?
>discussing the roster for a game that won't happen in at least 6 years is interesting
You're fucking retarded.
At least they're shitposting about something that is confirmed going to happen.
Every alliance that wasn't K. Rool + Ridley was forced as fuck, don't kid yourself
Holy based. Leon and Kasumi would be absolutely perfect in Ultimate.
It's pretty good desu
Only the animation quality, everything else is garbage
I mean, yes, but like, no
Literal Who last pick, 0/10
Not even trying...
>Mario
>not Luigi
Unironically kill yourself, worst taste I've seen in this thread
As cool as Doomguy and Reimu being the final 2 would be, it's probably not happening.
No because undertalefags shill for sans/frisk/kris/undyne because they like the game/music. Shantaefags are just waifu shitters who fell for wayforward's marketing campaign.
Shit bait OP
Probably not at evo itself, but the direct that reveals him will very likely be announced there.
I mean the whole point about making up evidence, thinking everything is a teaser and vastly overestimating their series' chances of making it in.
Also don't pretend some of them aren't shilling it for the memes. Sansfags especially.
>Two west-focused events
>When the 3 characters we got so far were already revealed at west-focused events
Never ever
detail? Story and characters? Is it at least faithfful to the games. I'd imagine it's based on 6 & 7.
>making up evidence, thinking everything is a teaser
Idk seems like everyone does that to me, I remember a blurry out of focus book with a vague brown and yellow shape behind sakurai in a direct being the topic of multiple threads with people speculating it was a banjo and kazooie hint.
?Also don't pretend some of them aren't shilling it for the memes. Sansfags especially.
this is true, admittedly
As far as corporate strategy goes Reimu is a top contender.
>franchise with a large fanbase
>fanbase has had little reason to buy a switch or smash yet
>franchise appeal is based entirely around its characters
They all do this but Shantaefags were doing this all the time, they were the worst when it comes to this (and still now with the window bullshit). Undertalefags are probably those that come the closest, they literally digged out one of Toon Link's move descriptions (that was already there in Smash 4) saying it was a hint towards Sans.
Just look at PapaGenos' discord server, they're fucking delusional when it comes to Undertale (and indies in general).
I really want Reimu but it feels impossible. I hope Doombros make it at least. I think Leon/Doomguy or Crash/Doomguy, and I'm OK with both of those options.
This + the series are old and have been consistently popular enough to be deserving, not to mention it's getting a new game this year. It would also bring a lot of content to the game if only via Reimu's moveset, so it wouldn't even be seen as "being a sellout" or whatever by the community.
What's holding off Reimu however is the fact that she's an indie character, meaning they'll have to contact ZUN specifically to get her in, as opposed to contacting a big company. It doesn't help that ZUN is definitely not going to make the first move.
I'd say Reimu getting in or not depends solely on them wanting an indie character or not.
>franchise appeal is based entirely around its characters
Don't forget the music. Which would still get in alongside Reimu if the series were represented so that doesn't change much to your argument, but still.
Watch it, you're edging into stevefag territory there
Do you have some sort of argument you want to make?
I don't expect Reimu to get in. I just think it'd be really cool if it happened.
At this point another western rep like Doomguy or Crash seems even more impossible than Reimu desu. Sakurai on twitter heavily implied Banjo was the only western character in the pass.
twitter.com
He only said it's the first time he asked a foreign musician. Since characters 4 and 5 come after Banjo in the pass, they could easily still be western.
Except he definitely contacted all the musicians beforehand, and it's likely work on the final 2 hard already started in June.
It's possible we're getting another western character but frankly unlikely, don't get your hopes up for one.
WINNER TAKES ALL, IT'S THE AMERICAN DREAMMM!
Based
Not him, but the writing is serviceable enough and the voice acting can be very amateurish at times.
Everything else about the fanime is fantastic.
>Is it at least faithfful to the games
Just a bit it takes many liberties (like Sanae being in IN or Flandre fighting Remilia) but that's not point. The problem is the writing, because it's like it came from some a generic weebshit seasonal anime. Also a lot of fucking fanservice because reasons.
Live footage of these Anonymous Posters
So applying this to the picture that got all FP characters right so far (yes it predates Joker), what's left is:
>Dante
>Heihachi
>Phoenix
>DxM rep
>Travis
I wonder if this pic will end up having predicted the entire pass.
Have leakers said nothing about the last 2?
No, we have absolutely no idea who the final 2 are. Every "leak" we have are literal shitposts like that twitterfag.
It's weird how they'd know Banjo and Hero, but not the other 2. I assume it's a translator that leaks then.
Maybe because banjo/hero were developed alongside joker while they're only just starting on 4 and 5?
Don't forget that Banjo was only actually leaked a week prior to his reveal.
Absolutely fucking based.
>yet another FGC brawler man

Why the fuck is the reimu shitposting posted every fucking day? Can it be reported as spam? She has no fucking chance and is a literal who. You waifu is not in the game and she'll never be a playable character and that especially includes the next Smash game. You faggots and your shitty anti-hype picks.

That would be lit
Thanks for the invitation!
Please, Your Vidya Bros miss you
If Leon is so much better than Dante, then explain why he becomes more and more like Dante as his character progresses.
Checkmate Leonfriend
I don't recall Leon screeching about pizzas or driving motorcycles, Must be a blank spot in my memory, Go punch a boulder, Friend.
Your final reps are going to be Konami getting another character [Either Soma to rep the Metroidvania era or Sparkster] and Quote.
You must not be keeping up well enough then, because RE:Vendetta Leon is practically Dante 2.0
youtu.be
>Sparkster
You've peaked my interests
I guess you're right, I haven't kept up since RE5. But in the end Leon will always predate your hack and slash child.
Her chances are next to zero but you're still a retard for calling her a literal who
Read further up the replay chain, he's crossing off characters considered unlikely by the post he's replying to
Given the outpour of support for the Belmonts and having the three gods of mascot platformers present as well as SEGA onboard to iron out any potential issues, Sparkster would be their perfect retro character. I'm still hoping they go with Soma though; dude's got literally limitless moveset potential between the Soul System and all of Aria and Dawn's wacky weapons.
Oh,
then that image in the first place is retarded.
>tfw can hear a smash styled remix of the first stage music from Sparkster (Genesis) Along with seeing how his CGI trailer/splash screen would play out
can someone post the template for these fake fighter pass pictures, i remember it being posted around awhile back
>no GTA rep
it's the second best selling series not in smash bros and has plenty of iconic characters with abilities not represented in smash bros so far such as activating cheats with long combinations of jumping and punching the air
>His main combat is based around the fightan mechanics from GTA IV using his Fists, a Knife nd a Baseball Bat
>When hit characters have realistic knockback and sandbagging from the attacks
>Say a character gets knocked down from a string of hand to hand attacks, they have no invincibility and are down for a good few seconds leaving them open to let's say Niko's Down Smash which in this case can just be Snake's Side Smash

Based. Fuck reimufag cancer.
At this point you might as well create your own thread dedicated to just you samefagging
So why isn’t travis crossed out?
I think you’re misunderstanding that tweet. Kirkhope was unusual because almost all Smash remixes are done in house by Nintendo. Even if another Western character made it in, chances are they’d still be remixed by Nintendo unless they also had an auteur composer like Banjo did.
>DURRRRRER if you dislike reimu you’re a samefag!! DURRRRRR
Why would he be? Is he western, from a RPG, from Sega/Microsoft or is NMH already represented in the game?
I don't think you should be proud of falling for this guy's narrative user
Based Porkbro
He’s niche and a literally who. He also doesn’t bring new audiences to nintendo when he’s already nintendo exclusive. He’s less likely than most of the characters crossed out.
I'm fairly sure both the original music team and the Smash music team are involved most of the time.
Right but I didn't cross out characters out of arbitrary garbage like this, just what fell under the unlikely pic

Not even close.
>that
>arbitrary garbage
>but somehow the reasoning to deconfirming doomguy isn’t arbitrary garbage
Banjo had been "deconfirmed" by Kirkhope too. People under NDA can lie.
It's not arbitrary when it's literally based on the fact that he's western and Sakurai implied Banjo was the only western character he was working on.
Also no one's talking about deconfirmations. It's about characters that are unlikely to happen, not impossible.
>It's not arbitrary
>deconfirminf him over a fan interpretation of what is believed to be an implication to some that is more than likely not even there (sakurai doesn’t care fir console wars after all).
You’re not making yourself look any better.
>Also no one's talking about deconfirmations. It's about characters that are unlikely to happen, not impossible.
So by that you’re saying that Travis is LIKELY to happen? That’s even WORSE than thinking he’s possible at all. You literally can’t defend this while also saying soomguy is unlikely because [made up rule]
Kirkhope didn’t wven know about banjo yet.
I would like Phoenix Wright in if that's okay.
I didn't make the original picture, Travis was there because the guy put him here. I don't think he's happening either, honestly the only one on this pic that I find likely is Heihachi. I just made this for shit and giggles.
Didn't he work on Banjo music for the game?
how was dante deconfirmed?
>Part of me wants an off the wall pick
>Other part of me wants the most expected picks because of selfish reasons
I really hope the last two are revealed back to back like Hero and Banjo
I'm betting on them reusing the Kencineroar trailer for the final 2 desu
Who'd go best with the boxing/wrestling theme to be revealed?
>heihachi
>likely
Nigga please. Sakurai already said he couldn’t do anything interesting with him in smash 4, why would he do it now? ESPECIALLY when Ryu AND Ken are in the game already.
>everything is in japanese
>the actual japanese character reimu isn't typed as レイム
this triggered my autism
>trailer theory
U dum
It's gonna be Geralt.
It's honestly just based on mii costume theory and the fact that Sega fighting game costumes didn't come back. Could be wrong tho obviously, maybe we're just not getting some costumes back at all for whatever reason.
It's not just Reimu though. These threads are dogshit.
Yeah but this guy's not helping with his samefaggotry
Alternatively...
Good job taking the bait I guess...?
Crash rocketjumps into the fight!
>uhhhhhh it was bait the whole time! I was just kidding about the samefagging hahahaha..... even tho I’ve been calling non-reimu supporters samefags for months now
Book character
He took the bait by replying to him, not to me.
The character everyone is sleeping on.
>monster hunter
I would personally like him but he's already represented so oh well
>Pheonix
kinda plain but sakurai could come up with some wacky BS, he'd be fun
>Agumon
I feel like greymon could fit better, his size always changes and he's never stood next to anybody else in smash so if he was bowser size id see no problem
>Travis
Based
>Ray 01
wouldn't he be smaller than pichu?
>Crash
would rather have Spyro
>DxM
would be really lame and not really true to his character if he couldn't be in his mech the whole time
Travis uses a lot of pro wrestling moves
Only pedos know and care about Reimu. That's it, I'm done here, bye.
Reimu's final smash?
Everyone turns into clones of her.
the only people that know about reimu are people that hear about her on these shitty smash threads
At this point I just assume that people are falseflagging as Reimufags so that people can post "BTFO" when she inevitably doesn't get in
I wouldn't be surprised. Most of us don't even expect her to get in.
>seething Reimufags with no arguments
>Phoenix Wright
>No move set potential. Prove me wrong. He's not a blank slate like certain Smash characters. Don't pull shit out of your ass.
Pffft hahahaha.
Where the fuck have you been the last 8 years, idiot?
youtube.com
I fucking wish, but no
Stop responding to pasta.
There was never an alliance. Some people just like both characters.
It's a big ball of fanservice and fandom memes that sucks away all the charm from the source material and turns it into generic anime shit.
Not him, but sakurai doesn’t copy fighting fame movesets. He also doesn’t take the liberties that other FGs do.
But Ryu and Ken are extremely similar to their fighting game counterparts
I unironically wanted Laboman back when Ultimate was about to come out. He could have been a heavy hitter like Ike whose mechanic would be losing the joycon, going for a heavy hitter to a shapeshifting floaty character.
In the same boat my dude.
Here's my new theory:
Characters I want = Unlikely
Characters I don't care about = Likely
That way I won't set myself up for disappointment.
Don't mean to burst your bubble kiddos.
Reminder, if the roster's all third-party it's already shit.
Ryu is the mascot of the fightijg game genre, who has nothing else to pull from other than his fighting game moveset. Characters who don’t originate from fighting games are obviously what he’s talking about here.
Bump
naw
Based if it actually happens
shitposters and discordfags aren't going to tear us apart, i'm rooting for you doombros all the way even if she doesn't get in
I just want this big motherfucker
this.
Reimu/Doomslayer are my dream picks for the last 2 DLC. i think the most likely picks are gonna be Leon/Chris or Crash though. either way I'm happy, Ridley got in and that was the biggest dream of all

>Erdrick
I mean, he wasn't wrong.
i just can't see chosen undead getting in now that Hero's in. Another sword character that will most likely use fire moves as one of his specials?
I wish he was in though, DS music in Smash would be bliss
>fanbase has had little reason to buy a switch or smash yet
This is the dumbest fucking idea I have read in a long time because it implies you are only allowed to like one single series and if you like said seires, you don't give a shit about any other games.
Then again, I'm always hearing about how supposedly rabid the Touhou fanbase is so maybe they are just that obsessive that Touhou is the only thing they like.
Still, I continue to see this logic applied to Smash but it makes no goddamn sense. This idea that "they'll get so many more people interested if they put this one character in" is dumb as fuck because normal people don't ONLY like one series and odds are, Smash already has characters from other franchises they like. Adding a character from a new franchise might gain the interest of a few new folks but the reality is that there's a lot of crossover already and the fighter pass isn't there to get new people interested and instead exists to represent series that existing Smash fans have been wanting to see. Banjo and Hero are obvious evidence of this and even Joker has come up in quite a few conversations of "I know Persona isn't on Nintendo platforms but one of the MCs would make a cool Smash character". But I know that most people are gonna ignore the logic here and continue to misinterpret Reggie and Sakurai's quotes about the fighter pass because most of Yea Forums is retarded so I don't know why I'm bothering to say any of this.
Based as Hell.
user, that's not just a reason that user gave for the sake of it, sakurai himself has specifically said he wanted to bring in more characters that'll attract audiences the series hasn't targetted yet. no need to lose your shit
What is remiu the mother of?
Idk, I still think he’s in, but the flowers were probably just made for the spirit board ad. I don’t see Porky’s stage being a field of golden flowers. I would want either the Empire Porky Building or one of the two end locations from Mother 2 and 3 to be his stage.
The shoot-em-up genre, i.e. shmups. Considering every smash game so far has had a shoot-em-up section (usually the credits) I think it'd be pretty surprising for Sakurai to not know the series yet alone not be a fan of it to some degree
you could have CU be entirely physical though
He doesn’t HAVE to use fire moves. See:
shit i take it back. Knowing Sakurai too he could definitely make him work and feel unique still.
Nigga she is not the mother of shmups
She's at the very least the most recognizable face of the genre since the series started back on the PC-98 and has since only continued to grow with a massive following behind it. It's not an exaggeration at all either to say her series not only popularized the genre but still sits comfortably as the face of the indie scene in japan
>sakurai himself has specifically said he wanted to bring in more characters that'll attract audiences the series hasn't targetted yet
Got the exact quote for that? People keep parroting this but I have yet to see such a quote.
>I mean the whole point about making up evidence
But he literally posted real evidence
Ideally, nobody should "ally" with anybody because that's retarded and you're a fag for doing any LARPing as it pertains to Smash of all things. Besides, those tranny allies you made over Discord will just leak your retardation and use you for shitpost material if you get btfo.
If he meant that, Joker and Hero wouldn't be in the game, seeing as though we already have a JRPG character in Cloud.
god dammit where's otisfag when you need him
let me find it
>>fanbase has had little reason to buy a switch or smash yet
I mean, there's the Touhou games already on the console
Joker was to more than likely get at the Persona/Megaten crowd in general I'd imagine since their userbase is huge (though I just think Joker was more of a personal pick from Sakurai)
Hero makes perfect sense despite Cloud being in too because DQ is literally the biggest franchise in japan aside from maybe Pokemon
Indies. See, independent gaming wasn't pioneered by it in Japan but its explosion in popularity resulted in a lot of people getting into indie gaming there. This Japanese circulation would later influence the indie scene in the west. As far as indies go Touhou is one of the greatest and oldest, surviving the test of time and inspiring many devs to make their own games by themselves. It even inspired Undertale.
>No Mustache Girl EX
>No Death Wish
>Time Rift and not Hat Kid's ship
>Only scrapping up two PNGs for spirits
I know you're memeing but put some effort into it.
this. They're releasing the newest official 2hu fighter on the switch this year too
Bullet hell isn't even exclusive to 2hu and it is just a variation of shmups. If we are gonna talk about the grandaddy of shmups something like Gradius or Space Invaders would make more sense. To be fair, if we go with the mindset that Sakurai would prefer a humanoid shmup rep, it would narrow things down enough for Reimu to be considered, but she is still far from being the mother of shmups.
Indeed. There’s a lot to work with in the souls games.
It may be a variation but it's arguably one of the most impactful franchises in Japan as well, like this user pointed out I'd argue she can still be seen as one of the most prevalent faces of the genre since the Touhou series is till popular today to the point where both older players and kids can recognize Reimu easily in japan
Not him but I checked the archives and it came from Nintendo's shareholder meeting. Can't find any links though.
The problem I've always had with Reimu is that Touhou is basically unknown to your average normie outside of Japan. And it's not like Persona where they've been trying to branch the series outside of Japan, they've always been comfortable letting it stay largely as is. Heck, Touhou didn't even have a Nintendo release until Switch, and the game currently ON the Switch are fangames.
I actually like Touhou, but basically it's a pipe dream. Even Undertale is more likely and that's also probably not gonna happen
at least the music choices are top notch.
You’ll make the reimufags seethe beyond belief with this post.
go to bed Vinny.
The problem is that she is not a big deal to shmups from an historical point of view. Popular? Sure, but there are a lot of big names that can represent the genre. The biggest contribution Touhou did to shmups in general was the popularization of the term "spellcard" to describe patterns of bullets but that's about it.
It can go both ways. You could argue that something like Undertale would be a safer pick since its popularity worldwide is more balanced out and it has a novelty factor on its side. On the other hand, they could just go with a Jap bias and add a character that is bigger there (2hu has geographical advantage), on top of being just as easy to negotiate with and already being huge with the (profitable) otaku crowd there.

I just don't understand why Nintendo would go for Reimu when most of the Touhou franchise isn't even on Nintendo systems. With someone like Atlus, they've been making Nintendo games for decades. Even Microsoft has xbox live on Switch.
To be fair the switch has had 2hu fangames on it for ages now and is just starting to get the official stuff. Reminder that FF7 had never been on a nintendo console until Cloud got into Smash 4 either

>To be fair the switch has had 2hu fangames
Yeah but not mainline. Which is kinda my point, really.
>Reminder that FF7 had never been on a nintendo console until Cloud got into Smash 4 either
Yes but Squaresoft had been making Nintendo games for literal decades
>Yeah but not mainline.
That's changing soon though
But it's only true well after they were deciding on the Smash DLC
why did this make me laugh so much
Arle Nadja!
It makes sense to pander to a crowd that isn't already consuming Nintendo games.
Think about it like this, say they add a character who is already on Nintendo systems (read: popular with the Nintendo/smash crowd), they most likely already own a switch or some other Nintendo console, and the best deal you can get from it is a copy of Smash (if they don't already own one) plus DLC.
Now say they add a character who never had strong relations with Nintendo, you give an incentive to people who are both outside of the Nintendo AND smash circles. In this case we have them buying a switch, a copy of smash plus the DLC to play as the character, and if you add some ports in between you can increase the chances of them sticking to the switch, which them derails into them buying more switch games to justify the purchase. This is, of course, assuming that they can afford the console in the first place.
So in the end it is way more profitable to pander to a new crowd. As long as the IP is already popular enough to bring in a new crowd, you end up making way more money while increase the already growing number of Nintendo consuming players.
The FF7 port came a year or two after Cloud was decided for smash so it wouldn't be too far-fetched
>Yeah but not mainline. Which is kinda my point, really.
It's good to remember that fangames play a different role in the 2hu fanbase. High quality shit like Luna Nights and Azure Reflections can flow just as naturally as the official content, because the amount of fan content is one of the most remarkable aspects about the franchise.
>a year or two
Sorry chum, Jonesy is in.
Ironically Jonesy would have an incredibly interesting moveset.
when was it again
>If this is legit
Banjo and Erdrick are already in, you fucking idiot.
>If this is bait
You're trying too hard.
I swear, Stevefags are to Yea Forums what Sneed is to Simpsons threads.

Seething
I know you are, but what am I?
Who's to say they didn't plan a second pass during the same as the first?
Link to Nintendo is a 2015 meme
Touhou is more than deserving enough, the only reason why it's unlikely is because them picking an indie character is unlikely
Still mad about that failed hijack attempt huh
they just keep trying, it's great
>le every person who dislikes reimu is the same person
why is this always their cop-out response?
