Compiling an info page for SWR. Some interesting news so far, some good, some bad. All of it is speculation for now until we get a real product.

http://f.pic.to/cf0q5 <- Aya Shameimaru.

I’ve never been an Aya fan but I’m hoping she plays like Toki.

Because that would be hilarious.

Touhou 10 demo is out on CD now for what that’s worth. :X

NO NO! That’s a bad GWYRGYN BLOOD! BAD!!! :rofl: :rofl:

But any way, so far, I’m more interested in these changes, rather than put off. For instance, I’m liking how they’re seemingly attempting to “streamline” it by making physical attack its own button, rather than being distance sensitive like it was before.

Even though, to say the least, I will definitely miss the bombs. If they’re not going to have that, then what will be the new way that we’ll be able to “Burst”, and what not? And what, now this game has Fatal KOs?

Maybe they should just call this “Touhou no Ken”, and be done with it…

Funny you should mention Toki, there appears to be a Star System in SWR similar to HnK. Those 5 white orbs are “stars” and once they’re gone apparently you can Last Word someone for the kill.

Unconfirmed though!

Unconfirmed, but like GB said, it would be hilarious.

Well, we should find out a bit more later today, right?

Could be a demo with restricted cast/stage/etc on a decent alpha, just to see how well (or not) the engine does when in the hands of outsiders

Added more screenshots, one with a more complete-looking HUD.

2 projectile buttons? that’s gonna be like patch vs patch mirror matches

airdashing down/fastfalling might be interesting.

Yeah I dunno, I always though people needed MORE physical hits and not less. Maybe they’ll do it OMF style and have a different physical for every direction. :I

But I do like the sound of no more distance sensetive attacks, and also the 8-way dashing and infinite air dashes. Oh and the Stars system will be just grand if it plays a special song when you do your Last Word Fatal KO. :slight_smile:

here’s some random scans of a flyer they were handing out apparently.

At this rate I’m pretty sure I’m going to have http://maribato.mizuumi.net at some point

That vid was nice…I think this will shape up just fine.

imagines MeiLing doing her own 100 hit combo for her Last Word :wgrin:

More projectiles and airdash sounds like they kinda want to make it more shmup-like… on the other hand I don’t think patch clones are an option. I mean, a few can manage all the projectiles but in the end I don’t think the majority can, at least as far as laying consistent traps and all goes.

Yeah, my biggest fear right now is homogenizing the gameplay variety into “who has the best bullets”. Tasofro makes good games though, so we’ll see.

Also, Meta, you may want to fix your links…they both link to the “Back” of the flier, and it’s just a matter of switching the first one to be linked to the “Front”.

I’m really hoping that the guys over at Shrinemaiden are right and that’s friggin’ MOKOU on the upper right of the first page. She’s probably my top pick for who I really wanted to see in another Touhou fighter, followed closely by Cirno.

Upon further scrutiny:

That is NOT Mokou, probably a differently-colored Reimu. Doesn’t mean Mokou will or won’t be in the game, but that shot isn’t her.

The 5 orbs are NOT like HnK stars. They just replace the spirit gauge we used to have.

When you attack or get hit, your spellcard meter fills up. You get one spellcard at random when it’s completely full for a total of five maximum. BC uses the leftmost card and AB shifts it. Cards have four “strengths”, ranging from weakest to strongest: green, red, silver, and gold. You cannot use stronger cards unless you have a minimum number of cards total: 2 for green, 3 for red, 4 for silver, and 5 for gold. Obviously the stronger spellcards will be gold cards and the crappier ones would be green.

WOW.
this game looks hot.
is it just me or are the stages all with the HUEGness?
that and the 8-way action, maybe some Arcana Heart influence there?
i want to play this sooooooo bad
