And you fucking bought that?

look at the CSS offline, with Echoes/Miis not stacked. If Sakurai wants it to end in a perfect square, he's going to finish the fighters pass and give us 3 more.

You realized that her chances are now higher than ever, right?

Don't worry user, we're even more close to Reimu now than ever before.

I take Reimu to the heart tho, not as a meme.

I will only accept ZUNs art and nothing else. Get that shit out of my face

The only reason you fuckers want her in is so you can rape /jp/ to Hell and back. Fuck off

It'll be an improvement over the yellow fever idol and porn dump threads that infested the board.

I don't visit /jp/.
I want Reimu because I love Touhou and being capable of playing as Reimu in Smash (or any Touhou character, specially Cirno) would be simply the best.

I genuinely want Reimu in.

That and:

>much needed female in the current DLC sausagefest
>is a legendary IP that fits the Smash atmosphere

My point is that before the Japanese weren't serious about the idea of Reimu being in smash, now they are.

How did Reimu ascend from rock bottom with the threat of Nakoruru to one of the most likely DLC characters within the span of a direct? How did she do it? It's fucking amazing.

Your pedophile meme character doesn't deserve to get in, fuck off

Unironically because undertale. As shit as that game is, being reduce to a pathetic mii costume powers up Reimu's chances, also toby is a touhou fanboy, is a personal friend of ZUN and now got on contact with sakurai.

Why does she expose her belly like that? Is she a slut?

...

the only question is Sakurai getting into contact with ZUN. Toby goes around because everybody loves him. it's kinda wholesome when they talk about him really.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Toby and Sakurai had some fun small talk about Touhou while at his house.

Girls are preparing, please wait warmly.

That would never happen because it would be downright disrespectful to the other indies and their creators

She’s going to get in, watch.

Imagine the shitposting.

Touhou is a video game franchise

Who here does not want Reimu in smash BECAUSE he loves touhou? The cancer it would bring to the franchise would push it to Undertale fanbase levels of annoyance.

Not to mention they would not agree to letting their copyrights being used in that way.

Reporting in. Smashfags should be put down like the degenerates that they are.

Doomposting doesn't make you cool, you think you're protecting something but you're just a retarded hipster.

It's already this bad because most fans are introduced through porn and old meme videos, leading to the apathy/laziness towards the games. Smash would stick closer to the source material and work better as an introduction to what Touhou is all about. We would have more people giving the games a fair chance before jumping into fanon shit.

We don't want more people, nobody wants cancerous Fortnite/Smash/Overwatch underage tards into the community. The new generation isn't worth shit.

I do want Remember in smash but I also would enjoy the fire.

Communities need new blood being pumped in from time to time to keep discussion and original content coming. Japs don't have to worry about that because the games are more mainstream there but the western fanbase is really stagnated. There is a reason why so many Touhou threads are just waifu dumps and copy pasted prompts, there is only so much discussion you can have before things get dull and as the fanbase is right now there is a huge gap between primaries and secondaries.

>Remember
What the fuck?! How that happened? I have the auto-correct turned off!

To /jp/ with your shitty elitism.

Imagine a touhou pack being announced for switch at the same time as Reimu in smash. This is the world line we could be on.

Read my post again, I am against the elitism in this case.

On one hand, you're completely right. It would be absolutely horrid and I can't deny that I am afraid of it.
On the other hand, I really, really want to beat up Mario and Mega Man as Reimu.

>Communities need new blood
That's only for content. New people are not necessary.
>Japs don't have to worry about that because the games are more mainstream there
So you agree it's a non-issue then.
>the western fanbase is really stagnated
Big. Fucking. Deal. Most Western people wouldn't/don't go to Japan, participate in the Reitaisai, buy amateur and official goods like I do. Western fanbases are shit by definition, nobody needs more disrespectful underage retards.
>There is a reason why so many Touhou threads are just waifu dumps
Because there's nothing to talk about, really. The community just enjoys playing. There's a slight controversy about the role the player had in WBaWC in the whole conflict but that's about it. If you want to know something, go read the Wiki.

Like I said, your complaint is about content. Having more people wouldn't solve shit.
It's a fact. Why do you think you shitters are immediately spotted and told to fuck off when you go to /jp/?

If you were, you wouldn't be using "primary" and "secondary" unironically.

I see nothing wrong with these terms if they are used appropriately. Any fandom will have a division like this.

>Like I said, your complaint is about content. Having more people wouldn't solve shit.
New people means more content you mouth breathing spastic
You're just a filthy hipster who gets mad at idea that his precious secret club wouldn't be secret anymore

Western people don't produce as much content as Japanese people and it just doesn't have the same flavor or quality.
Besides
>his precious secret club wouldn't be secret anymore
If you believe Touhou is a secret club, then you are a fucking retard.

People are the ones who provide the content. I don't mean just art and music, I am talking about game discussion too. Even complaining about being unable to beat Sakuya on easy counts.
>The community just enjoys playing.
People go out of their way to admit they don't give a shit about the games, you are being delusional. Game discussion dies down after a week and threads go back to being shit, this wouldn't be an issue if we had a consistent entry point rather than one blast every few years.

>People are the ones who provide the content.
No, considering Touhou needs to make a barrier between "canon" and "non-canon", I'd say that more non-musical content would be actually detrimental considering the flanderization aspect being pretty overwhelming, hence the creation of that very term on the name of a Touhou girl. I was talking about official content, which honestly comes out very often (every 2 years) and there's only so much a franchise can make out of bullet hell games.
>People go out of their way to admit they don't give a shit about the games
And those people should be ignored for being stupid secondaries.
I mean, it's pretty ironic to have someone react to this with a wojak meme, which is the essence of the creatively bankrupt Western fanbases.

It's convenient to talk about people who have no interest in the source material, which is something that happens with any fandom.

because she doesn't wear proper undergarments, thus making her unfappable.

People who bitch about elitism are usually dead weight who should be filtered from any worthwhile community.

Creepiest fan base, hands down

is there any evidence that Sakurai cares about Touhou? it really just comes down to that (and whether ZUN would be ok with it)
we knew he's an SNK fan, but is he a shmup fan or an otaku?

>implying it matters if he is or not
>but is he a shmup fan
yes

>I'd say that more non-musical content would be actually detrimental considering the flanderization aspect being pretty overwhelming
Flanderization comes from the lack of content with canon.
>And those people should be ignored for being stupid secondaries.
It's hard to ignore a crowd that is more present than the ones who play the games.
We know he added shmup segments to smash and almost every single Kirby game since the first one. If he is not a shmupfag them someone on his team is.

>content
*contact. btw, I am gonna stop replying because I am kinda of busy right now.

I imagine that if reimu gets into smash it would get much more music as ZUN is more easy to deal with it in that aspect, although all them would be remixes.

Remember touhou 3? the plot was a race to the center of some ruins and whoever won got a wish
for the smash trailer it's a race to the center of the ruins but at the center is a smash invite
cue everyone betraying each other to get to the invite first
>yukari gaps the immortals into the sun
>reimu seals all her youkai friends
>cirno freezes all the fairies
>marisa just melts sakuya with master spark before she can freeze time
>ends with marisa and reimu facing off over the invite

He hasn't worked on a kirby game since super star.

Only proof that Yea Forumsirgins are fucking idiots for believing this rumour in the first place

Wait, so the 6 fighters thingy is just a rumor?

Not sure, they did announce that there would be more fighters after the 5 included in the fighters pass.

Assuming that this "season 2 fighter pass" carries the same amount of characters then that would add up to 6 being left

Nintendo has straight up dealt with ZUN and licensed his music before, so they have the experience.

>Big. Fucking. Deal. Most Western people wouldn't/don't go to Japan, participate in the Reitaisai, buy amateur and official goods like I do. Western fanbases are shit by definition, nobody needs more disrespectful underage retards.

Honestly a while ago I would have agreed with the sentiment that breathing new life into Touhou with smash would be a great thing. But after seeing what the anime did to the Jojo fanbase, I can't.

Why do autists want reimu in smash anyways?

To kill /jp/ and ruin Touhou by having ZUN create an undertale inspired character.

I don't care. Most people already get into Touhou via shit like porn and IOSYS videos and never move on from that.

Great moveset potential, great music and to grace the Spirit board with ZUN's art.

You can't kill what's already dead.

If she actually got in, what type of art style would they base her model on?
ZUN's?
Alphes'?
Aya Azuma's?
Makoto Hirasaka's?
Some generic animu design?

ZUN style with some slight proportional/perspective tweaks. Gotta go with that SOUL.

Nobody with a brain actually thinks Reimu has a chance. The people saying "Oh her competition is all deconfirmed so she's more likely" are dumb, them not being playable means someone more niche like her has no chance.

Fake leaks getting lucky with guesses for 2 characters doesn’t confirm its real.

1. Because I like touhou.
2. Because i want this place to burn!

This was made by a secondary.

Why would they have a Mii costume for a final boss and not the actual playable character?
There is no Mii costume of a non-protagonist that isn’t already represented with a fighter.

As much as I'd like Reimu to be in Smash, her series came after the SNES vs Genesis war by a good few years. First game came out around 95/96 at best. It's still one of the more influential series in Japan even with Fate/Grand Order waifufagging going on.
