Now that all the big indies have been represented in some way, it's only a matter of time Reimu gets added in Smash

Reimu represents PC gaming in Japan far more than she represents indies. I know they get meme'd together a lot, but Reimu and Doomguy are probably the most iconic characters you can get from PC gaming for both the East and the West. There is not a more perfect crossover duo.

im not, but touhou is the most interesting indie series to be represented simply because of the way zun handled the IP copyright.
No other franchise is made by fan support alone, that has way more weight than any third party character and shill choice since is something money cannot buy.

Suck my dick /jp/

>muh sikrit klub
you do know is meant to be bait right?

Yet we have two gacha games with ZUN's backing being developed right now.

You actually don't care about Touhou and only care about the well-being of the community.
ZUN deserves this for working hard on the franchise for over two decades.

There is always Cave Story but it just screams Mii costume for me.

>ZUN deserves this for working hard on the franchise for over two decades.
So he deserves to have the community, the thing mind you in which touhou itself is based upon because its a doujin game (you would know the importance of community for doujin circles if you actually cared about touhou), that he spent the past 2 decades building, be defaced beyond recognition?

Here are your indie reps bro.

gacha games are money cows to profit off
It's not expanding the fanbase just milking it

Damn, Touhou discussions in places like Youtube comments and other shithole forums will be RUINED we can't let this happen, true Touhou fans unite.

stop calling Reimu an indie character
touhou is a doujin game

by definition none of those are indie other than reimu and frisk since a company owns them.

Ackchually mom it's ANIME A-NNIE-MAY, not a cartoon stop calling it a cartoon, fuck you mom you fucking baka.

>doujins arent indie
retard alert.

am i the only one that doesn't care if she gets in?
i mean it would be cool seeing her in smash and see what remixes they can bring into the game, but im not feeling bad is she isn't in

steve is dead gonna be a mii costume if we did get a true xbox rep its gonna be master chief banjo i see as a rareware rep imo

>its not about what the fanbase thinks, its about the fact that any and all touhou discussion would be irreparably ruined for the remainder of time within the west
The western Touhou fanbase can't get any worse as it is.

>if you're a Touhou fan you wouldn't care about Smash
FTFY.

So bringing light to Touhou is somehow a bad thing? Wouldn't that promote growth to the community? How the fuck is that a bad thing?

>discussion is going to be ruined
Highly doubtful.
Nothing has changed with Persona, Dragon Quest or Banjo-Kazooie discussion after their character's release.
There'll be an initial growth of interest for sure, but that goes that down very quickly.

>merchandising will skyrocket in price
Highly doubtful.
It goes in tandem with what I said before, there'll be initial growth of interest which dies down pretty quickly.

>secondaries

If they at least played the game and are interested in the franchise, who gives a shit?

>any and all touhou discussion would be irreparably ruined for the remainder of time within the west, as it would ALWAYS deviate to smash discussion
Smashfags are reactionary tards, they have a short attention spam and will jump on the new shitpost magnet as soon as it shows up.
>any and all merchandise for characters would skyrocket in price, as there would really only be a growth in the western market, so eastern doujin circles wouldnt increase product to compensate
There is no way to know that. Hero being included didn't ended with DQ merchandise becoming more expensive. Saying that Japan would not have growth is just plain stupid when most of the fans are from there.
>even the most secondary of secondaries (and i hate that term) at least know about character lore, backstories, and the like
Lol no. Secondaries will surround themselves with fanon because they have no interest in the source material. Remember that this is the same crowd that ignores Flandre's established personality in favor of generic moeshit.
>smashfags are the most tertiary fans in existence for games that they leech onto
>as they probably will call you out for posting marisa who looks like "a dumb reimu knockoff"
Smash is a damn good vehicle for advertisement. Not only that but it does a really good job with representing its third parties. If anything, smashfags would be more tolerable because at least the game would stick to canon and give a better first impression than offmodel porn and 10 year old meme videos.

That's kind of backwards. Joker got into Smash because P5 blew up, not that P5 blew up because Joker got into Smash. The people who only got into Persona with the latest game were already there before the DLC happened.

Oh great another epsiode of "Stupid fucking secondaries the to police others because they're afraid their already immensely cancerous discussion will be ruined by someone mentioning Smash of all things"
Never mind no series discussion has ever actually been ruined by Smash, you can go into the Dragon Quest General and there is literally only one passing mention of smash, what the fuck do you think people are going to say about smash in threads about the series anyway.

Are you stupid? That wasn't a result of Smash, if anything Persona is only in smash because so many more people came into the series with 5.

not him but you are using a giant strawman here.
You are asking for people that got into it thanks to persona 5, while the point is if smash had anything to do with persona's recent rise in playerbase.

I like this image, it summarizes things well enough. The whole thing really comes down to whenever or not Undertale and Shantae are deconfirmed since they already have their foot on the door. Cave Story and 2hu are following right behind and Steve being indie is up to debate.

time to jump ship then son.
Many SMT fans already did when persona was created.

A Smash appearance isn't going to damage the Touhou fanbase in Japan, and you shouldn't care about how it may or may not impact the western fanbase, because the overseas community is garbage to begin with.

P5fags popped up long before smash though. I remember seeing threads with them shitting on P4fags and SMTfags because muh story.

You know it'd be really funny if one of those leakfaggots actually got to see shit, saw a Shrine Maiden, thought it was Reimu, when it was actually like, Sakura from Sakura Wars, or Pocky from Pocky & Rocky, or whoever else that's a Shrine Maiden Vidya character.
Leakfags/"Insiders" are so incompetent I could see that actually happen.

how do leaks even happen?
it seems like they are just pulling names from a hat at this point

Finally a user that speaks the truth. The worst that could happen is Twitter screencaps and so on but to think that would affect ZUN is being delusional.

Quote is unironically a bigger literal who than Shantae at this point.

Why has everyone about Shovel Knight?

He's already in the game as an assist trophy

Reimu+10

Attached: Reimu.jpg (2000x2500, 2.79M)

Not even a Shantaefag but her spirit made it in just fine

Why would you save this.

There is no way out of being a AT. It could happen with Spirits since in Sm4sh Lucas and Mewtwo did have trophies in the game before being released as DLC. That's why even though Spirits probably deconfirm, people still have that possibility being there and that's the reason on why they haven't give up. But with AT they never were upgraded to Fighters on the same game.

*if you're a secondary who only cares about the fanbase and not the actual games

Eh, the whole Chrom being playable while also in another character's final smash makes feel that's grasping at straws by now.

There's a reason why Touhou doesn't have 10 anime and 20 spinoff games made by Capcom and Sony at this point.
Touhou's entire rise to power was because of the dedicated autism the fans have, sell it to corporations and they'll eventually copyright it and lose the fans. ZUN not only knows this, but also mainly doesn't want Touhou to be overshadowed and be replaced.
ZUN is the largest "con" smash has in getting 2hu, and that's absolutely based.

I don't see ZUN refusing just because it's popular, only if Sakurai taking over the project means bad news for him (which can go either way considering his track record).

Shit like this has happened before, you new to 2hu?
This is 2hu's first foray into mobile gaming and this is why this has gotten so big, but some third-party backed by a larger corporation making a fangame isn't exactly new.

Unironically fuck off

I can't even imagine her moveset, which talks about how nice could be her inclusion. Although she already appears in a fighting game.

I love Touhou and I want her in.

Not in the slightest. Dragon Quest 8 is often considered one of the best JRPGs and/or games to exist in general, and appealed to the west after a long drought of poor sales. Even in Japan, Dragon Quest outsells TouHou by a land slide

Cave Story was incredibly influential, but mostly on the western side rather than in the east.

Of course I want the character since I think she deserves it and there's a potentially fun aerial zoner playstyle to be designed there, but ideally, these reasons should apply to everyone's Smash picks in the first place.

how about no indie reps, they're mostly shit anyway

Doesn't mean shit, dumbass. Terry further proves this. He's the face of SNK, a relatively obscure dev that targets a specific fightan game niche. Reimu is similar by being the literal face of Japanese PC gaming and doujinshi. Touhou was so popular it dominated Comiket for so long it made its own convention that is still being held twice a year. I think that gives Touhou more than enough reason for recognition.

Which youtuber is shilling for Reimu in Smash, again?

None. That’s why she’ll be in much like Terry and Joker

You can probably find some nips doing that, but most of Yea Forums would hardly be aware of it either way.

With Cave Story's massive influence on games in the west and the scale of Touhou's fan-works in Japan, I'd call the legacy argument a wash. Also,
Cave Story and Touhou both inspired Undertale, which itself made it into fucking smash.

I find it funny that anti touhou faggots and shitters that are afraid that the garbage western fandom will get fucked up if reimu gets added in smash keeps mentioning that ZUN won't allow it but they don't realise how lenient ZUN is with the IP in the first fucking place.

It's why touhou gets a fuck ton of fan content in the first place because he places very very few restrictions.

Case in point, just mention canonball or lostworld or the fucking taikodrum master shit and the anti shitters will immediately lose the argument since they can't refute it.

I respect you for bringing up Commander Video and Travis, but it’s posts like these that show how grossly overstated Shovel Knight is in the grand scheme of indie games. He’s definitely over Shantae, since she is just riding the same modern wave of indie games, but I would say the others do enough different to put themselves in different standings from Shovel Knight. Cave Story has strong history and influence, Undertale is a phenomenon that has even left a popularity mark in Japan, and Touhou is a special beast that you can’t really compare directly to all the other indies brought up for Smash. Shovel Knight is just a really good modern indie game, with its most significant contributions being hope for crowdfunding and setting a bar on how to make a retro-inspired game right. Neither of those should be scoffed at, but they don’t do enough t really overshadow the individual accomplishments of Cave Story, Undertale, and Touhou.

I would buy them all. Playing Touhou on a handheld seems like top comfy.

Microsoft paid a lot of money for Minecraft, is a negative for Steve being in Smash... how? Not to mention, he very clearly is a character. Character /= Personality. The default skin(s) that are put on front of the box-art of Minecraft and advertised everywhere, and they have specific names and appearances (Steve and Alex). And no, not having a personality does not disqualify you from Smash, so don't even respond with that (See: ROB & GnW)

ZUN might have lost their source codes after putting them on steam.

You're half right.

Enbodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, and Phantasmagoria of Flower View are the games ZUN lost the code to, I don't know if he can remake them, but I'd love to see a remake of 6, 7, and 8. 9 is in a middle road.

Then why aren't MoF through UFO on Steam.

ZUN is planning to release those on steam sometime in the future.

Speaking of which, how many around here have bought a touhou game on Steam? I only have HSiFS myself.

Nice.

You don't need source code to release on Steam anyways, just executables and some other stuff. Source code is only an issue for things like ports or translations.

Only LoLK but might pick HSiFS and WBaWC

IIRC the other game that came before this is the first game to give Reimu Fantasy Seal and (I think) Her modern design.

Toby meeting with Sakurai is a plus for Reimu considering ZUN is one of Toby's biggest inspirations and Sakurai almost certainly asked Toby for who he wanted. Not that Sakurai would 100% fulfil his wish or anything, but more just to pick at what crazy idea he may have. Sakurai obviously respects Toby very much, so probably wanted to at least know what his dream character would be.

It'd be hilarious if one of the spirits was Mima and she still didn't come back in the main games.

I bought 16 (aka HSiFS)

>Mima is the rep instead of Reimu
This would be the perfect result for butthurt.
>Touhoufags mad because it wasn't a good rep for the series
>Mimafags mad because she hasn't appeared in a game in 20 years
>Smashfags mad because literal who

That is ALSO a HARD deconfirm for Isaac (BOI) as well....BUT! We still have Meatboy so he could still be the TEAM MEAT rep. Either that or the guy from THE END IS NIGH.

Touhou doesn't have much of a legacy on Nintendo. In fact it doesn't have any games on Nintendo consoles yet.

At what age did you outgrow touhou Yea Forums? For me, it was 4 years ago when I was 25.

AoCF is coming to switch, and Joker didn't have that much legacy with Nintendo. Hell, FF7 hasn't been on a Nintendo console until very recently.

More of an appeal than TouHou

Final Fantasy and SMT have Nintendo presence even Persona had some before Joker.

This is what I want the most. ZUN artstyle or bust.

Marisa would 100% be a better fit for smash than reimu. Reimu's whole schtick is that she has homing attacks and can fly and teleport, that would be absolutely antifun in a smash format. Marisa has a lot more capability with melee using her broom, like in the fighting games.

Alice would probably be the funnest 2hu to have

There are a bunch of characters that would be way more fun then reimu/marisa, but there is no point in discussing them since only reimu stands a chance. A small 'what if an indie gets in smash as a non mii character' chance at that.

>since only reimu stands a chance
Only 5 people worldwide have played the PC-98 games, so most people know Marisa as a protagonist as much as Reimu.

What makes people think ZUN would allow her in Smash?
