It pleases me to see Gengetsu skirting the border between PC-98 and Windows popularity. :)
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

I'm vaguely surprised that Hatate had such a "poor" showing for her first time, comparatively speaking. I suppose these polls are deliberately spaced out far enough to avoid the hype following a new game, 'cause otherwise, I think she would have placed higher. Kasen too.

Also holy crap Yuka where did she come from o__o

Anyway, Koishi and Utsuho in the top 20 pleases me. Satori's even stronger showing is also great!

Oh, yeah, and from the comments page, under Koishi:

Looks like Aya bounced back from last time.

Yuka's all ready for her position in TH13.

Wow, Marisa dropped to 5th? Didn't see that coming.

Well, I guess I have no reason to be upset with the results or anything, seeing that Mima only dropped a few ranks and Sara fared much better than last year (oh, and Kotohime's in the Top 100? Yeeeesss!)

Utsuho fell two spots, but Nuclear Fusion went up one. I'm satisfied. Also, yay for Marisa finally being back over Sanae.

Yuuka, what the hell... This makes no sense to me whatsoever. None, I say. Was there some big doujin I missed that featured her recently or something?

Yuka and Flan in the top ten? This makes me very happy!  Yay for the crazies!  :D

Utsuho fell two spots, but Nuclear Fusion went up one. I'm satisfied. Also, yay for Marisa finally being back over Sanae.

Yuuka, what the hell... This makes no sense to me whatsoever. None, I say. Was there some big doujin I missed that featured her recently or something?

She was in the top 10 before, that's fine by me. But the jump she made seemed a bit ridiculous, the major reason being who she jumped ahead of.

Glad some of my faves aren't farther back than I expected them to be. I've no comment on some of the higher ranking faves though. That involves lotsa toe steppin'. I've seen the music results somewhere else, but I'm too lazy ATM to look 'em up or run them through a translator.

Top fave game is PCB? I support this in full.

Man, people really missing out.
And to think, I can't stomach StB or DS because of the photograph gimmick in each of them, yet GFW is my favorite of the x-point-x games BECAUSE of the gimmick, and it's nearly the exact same gimmick! Oh, the difference repetitiveness makes.

Well, it's good to see that it's not normal that in Japan everyone does Lunatic like it was nothing. :V

As in, they aren't super players like some would assume they all are, because they are Japanese.

way to misinterpret it into one of the most offensive things i could possibly say you butt

We actually had less votes this time around, with more people owning more games than before. Yet even still, the overall skill level of all the touhou fans who voted, has gone down over the past year. Besides that, Friends, Video sites and Music are the top reasons for how people found Touhou. Of course you're not going to see many clears when people first start out (a year is a long time to improve though), and that isn't a problem. But what else is that aside from Music, those reasons haven't changed much compared to last year, which means "how many people just started" likely isn't a big factor in why the skill level dropped. I mean you can attribute it to whatever the hell you want, but seeing the numbers drop instead of increasing over time, is saddening.

Also people get better at shmups through lots of practice. We don't suddenly go "oh hey look Touhou" and beat Lunatic in a week. "We suck at shmups" only stays that way because you aren't bothering to get into it in the first place, drop it because you don't see results immediately (being a relative term), aren't having fun (in which case why are you voting in the player statistics section to begin with if you don't play the games), or you reeeeeally just aren't suited for it for whatever random reason you want to come up with. It isn't some magical game genre that only a select few can play because they're just awesome like that.
Unless you count Jaimers.

HOLY CRAP!!!

From 9th to 7th to 3RD!?!?!?!?!?!

3rd! Behind only Sakuya and Reimu...

I'm calling it now; Yuuka to win next year! I can't believe that; just so, so, so happy you have no idea!

imo the most fun part of touhou is the fandom. the games are great and all, but personally I find it to be much more fun to get involved in the fandom--and I imagine many other people feel the same way, which could be an influencing factor in the numbers. so yeah.

idk about other people but I get bored with shmups pretty easily. as a result, I don't play them very often and my skill at them isn't very high. I don't see a point in playing a game if you're not having fun playing it.

this kind of ties in with what I said above and could be a cause as to the dropping of average skill if it applies to more people than just me lul

Shhh, don't call too much attention to Yuka.  You don't want to know how she got up there. 
Spoiler:
It was probably a surge of popularity or an effort similar to how Meiling apparently won the popularity contest one year

Kikuri being on the bottom is depressing especially considering some of the things she is beaten by. D: I will vote for her next year if I remember.

#17 - IaMP                     891pts      0.51%
...not that I want to start a fight on this again, but with all the IaMP vs SWR/Soku fights that break out in the western fandom (and the seeming general favouritism towards IaMP)... it's kind of interesting to see that IaMP doesn't carry that love on an international scale (Nevermind being the least beloved of the Windows games).
