@Sirius Thanks. well uploaded it to/through imgur so I can reuse it whenever I want to use the "this is fine" meme without using the general image.

Wasn't sure whether to talk about MOF yet, since I didn't know which route you picked. The reason Nitori gives fits her character well enough (her wanting to to check out the outside world good from Rinnosuke's shop) and runs into Marisa beforehad, with Momoji (the wolf Tengu--- midstage boss from Aya's stage in MOF) pursuing because something stirred up Youkai mountain. While parts might seem a tad contrived when not in the canon order, most of the reasons make sense in context. I will say only one thing falls into the 'something happening sooner than it should wit no justifiable reason', though it works out a lot better for justifying part of the second game; plus that character is the lead developer's favorite, so possibly a bit of creator bias. I will say that I definitely think Marisa's exclusive stage are better in the second and third games (in terms of story/handling characters). In terms of gameplay, early Marisa has some difficulty comparing to Reimu, though she can hit hard enough to make the difference at times. The only thing I don't like is Marisa's first theme in the game, mostly because of the song it's mixed with. I usually only listened to Marisa's Master Spark theme when available. Also, it only happens in a few stages (mostly on Marisa-exclusive stages), but there is a Convince/'Talk' command in some cases. Like Super Robot Wars, there is usually some clue in the dialoge.....just get next to the enemy and the command should pop up. That sounds very good to me, since I was hoping for more story focus......even if there might be some backtracking involved. I'll probably speed through the story once I finish Stage 73 and be ready for the side-story by Friday.

Why wouldn't Keine get involved when clearly the human village was in danger (and she exists)? It makes little sense in some of the other TH games past 8, aside from the danger not being apparent danger (like the 13's "Holy War"). I would mention probably the biggest change in order, though I'm not sure if the 'another 4 games' is in relation to them or others. Honestly, this is the staple of the series, so it's not going away, though not everyone will always be around. It's kind of like series getting involved with each other in Super Robot Wars (which the mechanics of FMW are mostly based on) So did you pick Reimu's route or Marisa's route? Still have yet to start this. Am looking forward to it, when I get there.

A Marisa RPG, also featuring Youmu and Reimu? I'd play it. Lots of small references, though my favorite is something with Guy Shishio (GaoGaiGar).......I have to appreciate what mecha references I can get (without it having to be Gurren Lagann).

Youkai Moe......Yuuka is that you? Finally got in an actually relevant Touhou joke/reference. Anyway, welcome to these forums. Hopefully you'll enjoy your time here.

I'm not sure if this quite fits the bill of what I usually post here, but it is in video form. A story with Shanghai.

forgot about yesterday's and almost today's video Nitori takes the spotlight, and I almost get hungry before I remember I'm not a big cucumber fan. I nice (subbed) lyrical rendition of 'Candid Friend'.

I did not see the punchline(s) coming.

oops. I only notice that about half the time.

Next episode, both Pokemon, moves, and mechanics. Ame already released the default sprite-pack for the new USUM mons.

Would be an interesting comparison. Might as well go full reference to any fairy tale, even if it's a light mention.

Ah, Rad-adabado has finally made his appearance, along with the honest(?) reporter GG and a gym-leader maid. Wait, was intentionally misspelling/corrupting Rad's name a joke on the forums too or just Ame's blog?? I'm glad Cain finally go a bit of respect back even if it's just Sempai's objectiveness. Gambatte, Cain-tan; you can win Sempai's heart yet!

And another thing to interrupt my almost finished run of Fantasy Maiden Wars. Still good timing though.

..........um, you can't advance in the story until you beat Corey.

One other note is that Medichan can re-learn the elemental punches, instead of waiting so long for the move tutor later in the game. Good Ice coverage, if you don't have any.

@Thiazzi Doesn't Pure-Power more than make up for a lower base Attack stat?

Either that or after the 'next episode preview' thing.

Plus a priority move in Shadow Sneak.

Depends on if you are starting with the first game in the series, I suppose. So you timed out the spell cards or still captured them? either way, congrats on Orin not causing you too much trouble this time. Reimu really is the dodge queen, from what I've heard.......smaller hitbox and all
