It's inevitable

Knowing how ZUN is, he most likely said no to Sakurai so that people don't start hearing about Touhou because of Smash instead of the games themselves.

The fact that Piranha Plant was excluded from being a spirit indicates that Sakurai had zero interest in making spirit-exclusive characters playable. Of course, that was at the time of release and he can change his mind for DLC, but it still doesn't bode well for their chances at all.

Who's Touhou? And why would an anime character be added to smash?

I don't see how that can be a concern when Touhou is already in just about every Japanese arcade rhythm game.

Any Touhou games on Nintendo devices?
I know that doesn't outright matter, but it might explain it. It would be amazing to see, though.

This makes literally no sense, you either know about the games or you don't
And according to your logic, ZUN wouldn't ever have made the mangas either

they're also close to metaphorical in terms of being characters and have no distinct personality/theme outside of what fans have projected through fanart and speculation.

Touhou is a lolita skin made to appeal to sexual degenerates to sell stale game concepts, their characters are halfbaked and lazily embrace the trope of tiny girls being literal gods.

What Nintendo game is she in?

It's a little crazy to think that Undertale got represented in Smash before Touhou, considering that ZUN was Toby's biggest inspiration to not only make a game but also music.

Huh. Neat. Well, here's hoping.

For the fighters pass, yes.
Bonus DLC might've been decided after Spirits though.

Nobody who isn't Japanese or wants to be Japanese gives two tugs of a dead dog's cock about your two hoe bullshit.

Speak for yourself.

consider the entire series is masturbation material and bullet hells games with characters that arent on the smash bros scale at all.

>I have no idea what Touhou is or what the doujin scene is or what anything in Japan is but here's my opinion anyways
Cool, man. Looking forward to your next post.

Let me educate you, dumb fucking zoomer. The first Touhou game was an experimental brick breaker clone that ZUN made to practice his programming skills. Touhou was never originally intended to appeal to anyone at all. If anything, Touhou helped popularize the overpowered little girl trope. Now scurry off back to ResetEra where you belong.

>indie
Touhou is doujin series.

>the doujin scene
Did you just try and make your chronic masturbation to drawings of underage girls sound sophisticated?

Discussion is about the franchise not a irrelevant short period of time in the 90s

Wrong.

>welcome to the conceptualisation stage of almost everything
The conceptualization stage is important to the identity of the product. Anyone with half a brain can tell that Touhou games were never meant to be sexualized. The way you described Touhou makes it out to be a soulless cashgrab, which is a complete lie and cannot be farther from the truth.

Nah, Undertale has a novelty factor on its side. I can guarantee you that if it had the same kind of branching content and consistent releases as 2hu it would be a giant on its own. Everything about that game just managed to hit its target generation on all the right spots.

Maybe you should get a clue. The Smash playable roster is for game series that actually matter, not your typical zoomer trash.

you can play 6 and above on Windows, and 1-5 are generally considered to be so divorced from what the series is now they don't count for much.
If you play anything before 10, you're going to want to get vpatch so the game can run at a decent resolution (most likely windowed since the game area is square) rather than setting your computer to fucking 360p mode and stretching to fit your screen.

Touhou is indie by definition, but some people think it's wrong to call Touhou indie since it's more strongly associated with the larger doujinshi community/subculture. Reimu would not represent indies in the same way that a character like Quote would.

Shovel knight is just an AT.

Do you really think anyone would fap to that art? Canon Reimu is probably the least sexual of all the potential smash girls.

Reimufags just want to kill /jp/, scalp up fumo prices and ruin Touhou by injecting Undertale shit into it. My main concern isn't her getting in but ZUN creating a new Touhou character that was influenced by Toby/Undertale effectively giving Tumblr a foothold into the franchise. This in turn effectively kills the means of Touhou as a whole. For Reimu to get in smash means Toby had a hand in it.

Again, the DLC is not over, you would have a point if it was, but is not and even MORE is coming.

Touhou is way bigger than those user

her head is a fucking melon

The series is made literally by 1 (one) guy.

Especially considering how abysmal the western side of the Touhou fanbase is itself.

>they jerkoff to shit labelled as hentai doujins or just straight up "erotic materials" you fucking idiot.
Good thing smash would stick to canon them. If the fanbase's acts mattered them none of the females in smash would persist.

As for /jp/, it's hard to say what would happen but it's safe to say that a lot of the damage would come from the inside. The community is already pretty elitist, smash would be the perfect boogeyman to blame bad posting on, regardless of there being a new wave of posters or not. I get the feeling that a lot of people would still prefer to stick to threads on Yea Forums and maybe /vg/ since they are more chill.

> If the fanbase's acts mattered them none of the females in smash would persist.

Reimu's probably going to get Mii costumed because ZUN refuses to let Smash pick an official voice for her.

But hey, at least you'll get at least one Touhou song into Smash that way

You say this when Reimu has an official seiyuu in Cannonball.

Cannonball isn't official. Just semi since ZUN just gave his Blessing.

They can always pull a Megaman/Pacman and give her ingame sound effects.

>Reimu's probably going to get Mii costumed because ZUN refuses to let Smash pick an official voice for her.
user we're talking about the same guy who made Megaman stand completely still in his idle to reflect his 8bit appearance. Sakurai would insist on a mute Reimu

Oh, really? I was told literally all Reimu voices were fanon, and lots of stuf fabout ZUN wanting the characters to be defined by the fans and such.

I dunno, I don't follow Touhou that well. I just hear there's a lot of reasons it's not easy to make official crossovers with it.

Neither is Smash

Nah Cuphead and Hollow Knight are better picks

Therefore, Reimu's voice isn't official. Just like that nendoroid game.

>mute Reimu
Would people like that? No one really thinks of Megaman as having a voice, but Reimu seems harder to imagine without anime girl noises.

>Reimu's probably going to get Mii costumed because ZUN refuses to let Smash pick an official voice for her
A Smash appearance isn't official, so it wouldn't matter whether Reimu is voiced or not, or by who.

>People actually believe that Shantae will be a playable fighter before Frisk/Sans, Reimu, or Quote
I’m all for indie reps but holy fuck get off of your high horse

>implying Smash doesn't irrevocably change how characters are perceived, despite being non-canon

People would be furious if she had a voice.

If the voice doesn't matter, then that just makes her work even better as a Mii costume.

What exactly does she bring to the table besides a decent song selection?

Objectively wrong. They can't have the legacy that Touhou has with more than 20 years of franchise, content, and all the music generated from the games. There is so much good music that even 30 songs wouldn't do justice. Cuphead and Hollow Knight are both good games but very young franchises that dimmiss their chances and the most they can hope is a Mii Costume.

Cave Story never had a sequel and did not have the long lasting impact on the industry that Touhou has.
Even Toby Fox credited Touhou as inspiration for Undertale.

Quote was slightly more popular in the west during 2006-2007 even among non weebs and also inspired the trend of indie games using mediocre pixel art to look retro so these people think Cave Story was some sort of revolutionary game that heavily affected the industry instead of it just being a pretty good indie game.

Sans is the meme. No one gives a fuck about Frisk

A moveset's not a convincing argument when you can get Piranha Plant into the roster. Also not seeing what's so hot about Japanese PC gaming when so much of it just seems like VNs.

Sure didn't work for Undertale.

Toby Fox also named his game based on, and in honor of Cave Story? Like Homestuck, and Earthbound before it.

Does not change the fact Touhou has had a larger impact than Cave Story.
Touhou has had 17 mainline games, several in-between spin-off titles, hundreds of fangames and a gargantuan amount of fan music remixes making ZUN the most prolific composer in music history.
Cave Story does not even accomplish a fraction of that.

Then what are you looking for, exactly?
>Sure didn't work for Undertale
So what? We're not approaching the subject as though music is the one make-or-break for a character, just that it's a legitimate element out of numerous ones. Sans not being a full fighter doesn't detract from the point of music regardless, since there's any number of potential reasons that he was implemented the way that he is.

>Not answering as Shake.
You disappoint me.

>most prolific composer in music history
Meant video game music, but you get the fucking point

Only 2hu is indie from that image.

Kinda funny how with all that the first indie content in smash was Shovel Knight, followed by Sans- you can throw Shantae in there too if you wanna accept spirit as real content.

I'm pretty sure your legacy doesn't actually equate to popularity and recognizability. Like I previously said, I think both Cuphead and Hollow Knight are strong contenders for any sort of additional indie attention, and if we're going with most deserving/good I think Quotes the clear choice.

He's been recognized in other indie fighting crossovers as well, how many of those have acknowledged Reimu?

You bring this argument when Hero and Terry are both in.
Japan has a 2 conventions a year dedicated for Touhou with it having a major presence in Comiket as well.
All rhythm games have Touhou music remixes, from Taiko, to Sound Voltex.
If Sakurai knows Undertale and Shovel Knight, he knows Touhou.

>He's been recognized in other indie fighting crossovers as well
Like what, Blade Strangers?

A game that Nicalis themselves published?

You know people are getting desperate for reimu not to be in as an indie rep when they are saying that quote, whose game has been irrelevant for years, hollow knight who never even became prolific, and shantae who is already a spirit should be playable before her

Touhou has always been made by one guy.
He has staff/lawyers help with licensing, but ZUN has always been the only guy to work on the mainline Touhou games.

It’s like they wanted to take away the appeal of what made the original good and wanted to jump on the 3d train. At least the original is on the 3ds

Yeah, since sans people are more agitated with the idea since it could become true this time around. Her chances are higher than ever and that brings fear or excitement to people. Quite positive about her being in even if it is a longshot.

>You bring this argument when Hero and Terry are both in.
Please, don't tell me that you failed for Yea Forums's bait and really think that both DQ and SNK have no popularity and recognizability just because it's not well known in some parts of the world (which is the same for touhou and every character, except joker for being a recent game and character, so sans for for the same reasons and being a meme). You could even argue that about hero because unlike snk, DQ has nearly little to no presence at all in the west, but in japan is way bigger than touhou will ever be.

The only idea I like from this is Reimu using her danmaku skills to dodge these death lazors, but it's such a great idea hat I'll let it slide.

Yes, DQ and SNK are niche to some extent, but they are extremely iconic and popular within their particular niche. Just like how Touhou is extremely iconic to the doujinshi subculture. Also, Touhou in Japan is bigger than SNK, so your entire point is moot.

touhou only have japan just like hero and hero is bigger than touhou there, while snk have both west and east countries. If you could think for a minute you would realize that both being in actually means that it could make a point for touhou be in as well since touhou would be in the same situation of hero. It's not just popular games on their niche but they did something for their respective genres and influenced other games and as much I don't know about touhou in this aspect, I am sure it did a lot for bullet hell genre.

Inspiring literally thousands of people to produce hundreds of games based on Touhou project sure as hell means something. This is a franchise that is so popular that it inspired people to become indie devs. If you want to represent indie gaming as a whole, Touhou is literally the only option.

touhou games are indie games

Concerned since is a real possibility now and anyone that says otherwise is objectively wrong. There is a obvious rise of support going for her since sans and the odds aren't as bad as before.

You know how Ridley is a powerhouse but struggles from being a huge middleweight and therefore is combo fodder that doesn't compensate with survivability? Make Reimu that, but a weight class lower. She'll be average human size but light and floaty like Jigglypuff.

this couldnt be more innacurate and unfair if you tried. You are literally comparing a game that had a very recent title to other games or franchises that are way older by word tags. Snk isn't even refered by the company name the most.

That doesn’t mean anything. There are no rules for a character to be in Smash; except for that have to come from a video game.

Yeah thank you. Hope I get the chance to use this in the future.

Touhou is literally older than everything listed aside from SNK

It definitely improves her chances since other Indie characters are deconfirmed, which means less contenders for DLC. If we go by Indie, Touhou is pretty much the biggest one left. But yeah, there are newfags that think that she is anime when she's not.

This would have somewhat made sense pre-Terry + extra DLC, but now we are back to square 1 on speculation, meaning all chances Reimu had to be the indie rep are hilariously low, Shantae's the one they'll most likely choose

In my fucking dreams.

Shantae is literally irrelevant outside of smash and waifufag discussion. Not only that but she's already a png in the game alongside another one of her characters. Are people really trying this hard to disprove Reimu as the indie rep? Why Shantae over someone like Quote who has a game that blows every single Shantae one out of the water?

Attached: 1546051222594.jpg (280x320, 40K)

I was talking about its latest game entry, cave story hadn't have a new game in years. As much I am certain that cave story isnt more popular, using searching comparisons to determine popularity is a very flawed method considering a lot of people use different terms or names to refer to a game series. It's no wonder that it's only used to know the most recent trends by social network marketing and does not replace actual research.

The reason Shantae shitposting is so bad is Wayforward themselves encouraged it during Smash 4's ballot.

Keep it simple
Just have Pit and Reimu fight in the air (Reimu is unseen) until Pit is defeated with Palutena deciding to do it herself
Screen cuts to a Touhou gameplay scene with Palutena in ZUN art

Look, Shantae is cute and all, but her spirit's in the game

the rep for wayforward's gonna be Gunvolt. Started on a recent Nintendo system, has a series of moderately popular games, popular for more than just fanservice.

Shovel Knight and Sans are out. Besides being on the Quote train, or thinking Undertale receiving a Mii Costume is foreshadowing Frisk/Kris in season two, there's not exactly many options left.

They're not going to resort to revisiting Shantae for an indie rep when they still have bigger fish to look at.

I will take it.

Now is more know as "that series where cute girls die".

it's afraid......

The term indie darling is so inconsistent
Remember when Meat Boy and Bit Trip were the lead faces of indies?
Shovel Knight has the benefit of being a crossover whore and Shantae has seniority but Touhou surpasses Shantae in that regard

You're starting to waffle.

It's inevitable.
KoF is the only high profile fighting series without any sort of representation in Smash.
Nakoruru's in.

Reimu is literally the most drawn character of all time, whether real or fictional

I never said that future dlc wouldn't be based off of fan demand. Just that at this point I'd count Undertale out of the game with the best costume in the game and a new remix by Toby Fox himself as a consolation prize. If the smash team listened to fan demand solely we would be getting Shantae, Waluigi, Geno, and Bandanna Dee as dlc. Safe to say, I'm glad they don't.

Indie means self published rather than low selling.

The fighters you listed arent really in demand its just a small minority, unlike the Undertale fanbase who didnt think it was possible until now

No Undertale Stage yet so where would it go? Also it has a heart Symbol representing the game, like Duck Hunt

Yeah, no. I've seen more than my fair share of geno fans desperately trying to prove that he still has a chance, and not even accounting for the waluigi nonsense. I've also seen Undertale fans clamoring for sans/frisk or whatnot in Ultimate as dlc before. You got a remix of megalovania and a great costume.

That said, I would be overjoyed regardless if Reimu actually gets in.

How hard would Yea Forums seethe if reimu gets announced?

Honestly probably not as hard as if an UT rep or Steve got in.

cute!

I actually wanted steve from minecraft in as a fighter because I mean minecraft kind of deserves it at this point. But as always shitposters ruined his image, and I was pretty sad at how everyone turned against it. Sans as a costume was awesome for me too, I’m glad that came true. I also hope reimu gets in too, touhou has some good music and inspired undertale. It seems pretty likely at this point

I did; in fact, most of the list was culled from that game. Add Hollow Knight and you've got a solid list that Reimufags will still think don't stack up.

Superior opinion: Reimu gets in with Marisa as her echo fighter (price of DLC is unchanged)

Even if this doesn't happen with Reimu, this might happen for other characters (e.g Pyra/Mythra)

Echo fighters play similarly. Marisa and Reimu are pretty distinctive in how they play.

Marisa can’t be Reimu’s echo, they fight completely different. If reimu does get in maybe next game if there are no cuts they’ll add mari

I don't want Reimu to get it since Marisa exists

Nah fuck off Marisa doesn't work as Reimu's echo.
The entire point of the character is that she contrasts Reimu so heavily, literally her opposite in many ways.
I'd rather have a Marisa Mii Outfit than see her be butchered to try to shove her on a Reimu moveset.

It's an investment. Getting Reimu would guarantee her spot for the next game.

In a perfect world Marisa would be Touhou main protag and we would be discussing how she should be in Smash.
But this is not a perfect world.

Jesus anons can you guys post more often i want to be entertained

Comparing Touhou and Undertale seems foolhardy. One game has a deep and complex story while the other ones complexities are in the books and manga surrounding it while the gameplay is a bullet hell. Both Undertale and Touhou have their great merits. I will say this though.

>I can guarantee you that branching content like 2hu would make Undertale a giant.
>Implying Undertale isn't already a giant

Sounds like somebody needs to go brush up on their modern culture and interests. Undertale is a fucking world hit. There's CONCERTS for the damn game. And now Deltarune is shaping up to push that further. If Toby tried to put out more content the story telling would DEFINITELY suffer.

Touhou threads being slow as fuck is a time honored tradition newfag

Steve is for sure mii outfit material way more than the people in that image and considering we almost drifted into a timeline where Tracer got in I dont think Reimu is that bad

Agreed. I'll give UT this, it does a good job tugging at the player's heartstrings in certain moments. True Laboratory is some good shit, and entering Snowdin during a genocide run for the first time is some fucking kino, but the rest of the game just isn't on that level.
>Toby's idea of humor is... questionable.
Toby's humor was 100% influenced by his time with Hussie, who himself has been neutered by being forced to interact with his god awful fan community. Old Hussie was only funny because he had edge, but Toby just doesn't have that in him.
That said, even the humor in Toby's pre-Homestuck works like the Halloween Hack was generally subpar, so I suppose it didn't matter too much.

Let me show you something that really is inevitable.

junko?

ZUN of maybe a decade ago? Yeah, he'd say no. Responsible breadwinner husband ZUN of 2019? No way - dude has stopped being so autistic about licensing out Touhou. He already won in life and has Aya suck his beer soaked dick every night. He wouldn't mind letting Reimu in a high profile game anymore.

I don't fucking know. Dude probably has a iron liver.

Being a japanese drunktard isn't that impressive if you consider that their beer is pretty much water

Minecraft is bigger than every shit franchise in that image

Ah, okay, that's pretty much explains it then.

frisk/kris are fucking boring
sans has a better chance

He'll die before Touhou 18 he said so himself.

Not an indie.

/jp/ would eternally shit themselves if Reimu got into Smash. They raised all sorts of hell if anyone mentioned her and the Smash ballot in the same sentence back when it was active, so imagine what would happen if she got in.
It would be glorious.

If Reimu gets into Smash, I can imagine her amiibo selling like hot cakes.

Do you think Sakurai didn't take the time to pick at the brain of a youngin that he clearly had respect for? You don't think Sakurai ever dropped the question of "who do you think fans would really be surprised to see in Smash?" to him? You don't think Toby himself never mentioned ZUN being inspirational to him? You don't think that Sakurai himself doesn't have respect for ZUN?

If Toby asked for anything in smash it’s probably Touhou in some shape or form

>IOSYS crawling their way into the game.
Ok abort the whole thing, I don't want Reimu if it means IOSYS has a single iota of a shot at having a "song" in Smash.

Definitely. And Sakurai respected Toby enough to bring him to his house and play against him personally. There's no way he didn't ask Toby for what dream character (pun unintended) he'd want, if only for an idea.

IOSYS has some good non-meme music.

That's another reason on why i'm more positive now than before Sans. Seriously, I can't believe that Undertale getting in Smash as Mii Costume and Toby meeting both ZUN and Sakurai is the thing that improved Touhou chances.

Fuck, I want this to happen so bad.

they're sold individually and not as a pack for $.75 each, if you check for games with downloadable content under search you can filter it by newest, scroll down and you'll find the newest mii costumes. alternatively you could just search smash ultimate and look under it's dlc section on the game's eshop page for the dlc.
