Touhou Maniacs, Unite!!

[Navarre]

We have nothing to lose but the feeling in our fingers!!111

So yes, just on the offchance that any of the other Touhou loving members of the society happen to be looking at this board; who likes Touhou Project? I like Touhou Project? Which Game/Character/Spell Card/Banana do you like the best? Do you know nothing about Touhou apart from the vaguely creepy extremely hyperactive IOSYS flash movies? post here anyway!

[Mu-chan]

Tou~~hou~~~~!! XD

I've only actually played Immaterial and Missing Power (IaMP) though which is the fighting game! XD

The netplay patch was lots of fun~~ though my friend I was playing against from the US who also helped me set everything up was really really good so I couldn't beat him (though the only time I played against him was the first day I played the game too~ haven't had time to play it recently to get better and challenge him again... but my other US friend that's a Touhou fan said how good he has become too)... my computer's kind of weak too so some stages especially lagged on netplay... >>;;

My favourite character to play as in IaMP was Remilia. ^^

I've got some artwork I've collected that the Touhou fans I know showed me if you want me to post some of them in the images thread or something. ^^

[Navarre]

Oh oh, you know you want to... ^_^

I haven't played IMaP, though it does sound good, and youtube videos tell me it's very pretty, I'm currently practise practise practising my way through Imperishable Night, which is also very, very pretty... I must say my favourite character is Yukari, probably due to her resemblance (in personality) to Xellos from Slayers. Imperishable Night comes highly recommended, as does Mountain of Faith and Perfect Cherry Blossom (though I've only played the demos of those last two).

OMG

*begins process of searching for pictures of Remilia and Yukari*
A very big Arigatou for you I think! That second cast one is now my wallpaper...

[Neko]

*shuffles in after being lost for months*

I've only got Perfect Cherry Blossom so far, but it's keeping me busy as it is ridiculously hard (as with most of the Touhou games). I'm hoping I might even be able to beat normal mode one day...

In terms of characters, Youmu and Reisen would be my favourites, as half-ghosts and moon rabbits are rather cool.

I think I'm going to have to go and play it again now... -_-"

*wanders out*

[Navarre]

Heh, playing as Youmu in Imperishable Night is way more fun than it should be, watch enemies health go down twice as fast as with other characters!

I've only got the demo for PCB at the moment, Imperishable Night is keeping me busy, as I keep not playing as then have to practice to get back into it again *sigh* if only working wasn't keeping me so busy.....

[Falciferum]

I'm steadily hammering my way through Imperishable Night playing as Team Aria of Forbidden Magic, comprising of my two favourite characters, Alice Margatroid (Imma firin mah lazer!) and Marisa Kirisame, who's a well proper chav:

[Navarre]

woah woah woah.... I don't remember that line? Although it's been a while since I played as Marisa..... Reimu and Yukari for the win!!

[Falciferum]

Real men choose Marisa; too fast and no homing attacks.


Edit: Touhou joke, what's Chen's favourite weapon?

[Navarre]

oh, I think you get some points for that... even though puns are evil...

And who cares about real men and their lack of homing attacks? I get bored of losing due to Alice's crappy 'lookit ma laser' crappy range attack. But I suck at Touhou, so who cares?
Also; What mode do you play? I is a wuss who plays easy so I can gets the full ending. Challenge? what challenge?

[Falciferum]

Obligatory...


I play easy mode as well The only one where I dare touch normal is Perfect Cherry Blossom, playing as Reimu.

Edit: speaking of PCB, fucking metal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRAO0nyehjo

[Navarre]

Me likey me likey!! Everyone seems to have a special place in their heart for this song... I've also always like quite a few of the songs from Imperishable Night... 'Retribution for Imperishable Night' and 'Gensokyo Millenium - History of the Moon' being amongst the best...

[Falciferum]

I don't think I take as much notice to the music as a greater fanboy would (sometimes I turn it off altogether and listen to something else when I'm blasting the fuck outta them youkai muthafuckas, often it's Nightwish DOUBLE EDIT: Or rather now Equilibrium, holy jesus forget everything you know about folk metal). One or two songs I can say have grabbed me however, like the tune just before (not whilst) you fight Alice in PCB. I don't know it's name, I don't have the English patch for it and cannot read the moonspeak.

Edit: According to the irrepressible Felix "Neko" McBurney, the song I seek is in fact called "The Doll Maker of Bucuresti", which unsurprisingly has also been remixed by the wonderful IOSYS into a song called "Alice → Sweet".
