Touhou 13.5 東方心綺楼 Hopeless Masquerade: Countdown to Mima

[ToyoRai]

Nah, it is obvious that ZUN decided to make EX Rumia canon.

[commandercool]

I think you guys are missing the most obvious explanation: That's not a silhouette, it's what the new character actually looks like. She's just a weird monochrome mess of shapes. The god of Reimu's shrine is one of the Great Old Ones.

...well, now no matter how cool the new char is, I'll never be as satisfied with her as I would be if this was what she actually were. Thanks for spoiling things for me man, thanks a lot >=C

That's as crazy as saying we're getting a new character in this game!

Then we're all agreed

It's the unholy fusion of Mima/Shinki/Satsuki Rin.

[Ikari]

It's the unholy fusion of Mima/Shinki/Satsuki Rin.

And she will ride Rika's tank.

[CyberAngel]

Just sayin', but the true hardcore fans have already recognized the silhouette as YuugenMagan's true form.

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

The lack of new announcements is making this thread as silly as it can get.

Hopefully the weekend will come soon so we'll actually have something to talk about.

[Mayson]

I'm not sure why everyone thinks Mima is going to be in any Touhou game. Obviously Rin Satsuki has a better chance! A scrapped character with no info on an ability and with zero personality?! She's perfect.  She could fill any role as opposed to square Mima with her nice personality and pretty stars. Everything in this game points to Rin as the culprit! Just think about it for a moment.

Plot twist: The Hakurei Shrine goddess is Rin Satsuki.

DUNN DUNNN DUNNNNNNNNN!

It's the unholy fusion of Mima/Shinki/Satsuki Rin.

And she will ride Rika's tank.

...and she will also be accompanied by her sister Gengemugetsu!

[The Noodles Guy]

That silhouette is just Orin on drugs.

BTW, when will TF update the Tasofro page? Mamizou was supossed to appear.

[ToyoRai]

They said no new character reveals until Reitaisai 10

[Kilgamayan]

I don't think anyone was serious about Mima in their speculations, though. It's just a fun running gag.

No, there are a number of people that, with every new game release announcement, unironically start speculating about how Mima is going to appear.

[Gpop]

It's obviously gonna be a second Koishi guys

Come on you guys suck at this

[Rei Scarlette]

Actually it is Mima, but then before she does anything the 2nd Koishi shows up and kicks her off the stage.

This is why the silhouette is hard to make out, guys. It's actually two silhouettes and at a funny angle.

"Countdown to Mima" should actually be "Mima's Countdown", it refers to how she has little time before disappearing again

[KrackoCloud]

so uh has anyone mentioned this yet

Spoiler:

april fools

[Edible]

While that would be awesome, it also could not be any more fake <_<

[Tengukami]

[commandercool]

The important thing is that she's in all of our hearts.

Spoiler:

Except mine. I couldn't possibly care less about Mima...

Edit: Aw, I can't do ninjatext on this site. There goes half of my material...

so uh has anyone mentioned this yet

Love that Spiderman pose.

That is some very well done fake screenshots. Amazingly done. Who did it?

[Ikari]

I don't know what to say to be silly anymore.

I mean I went on and on about how Koishi would lolwander in and own everyone for the lulz because it was a crack theory and look where that got us. >_>

[AJS]

so uh has anyone mentioned this yet

Aww come on.  Despite the artist, I thought this game wasn't going to involve any porn. :V *SHOT*

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

Actually, I don't think it'd be a bad idea to include Yamame on the game. She could be one of those that hates religion, just like Nitori.

But then again, I'm happy enough with 10 characters already. I was expecting less than that.

Uh... well, it happened. Then again, there's been a bit of foreshadowing for her appearance, so it's not as random as one might first think.

[Juno Arieiv]

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

HOPELESS MASQURADE
SUPER RELIGIOUS WAR RALLY!

WITNESS THE CARNAGE IN THIS SHINTOISM VS BUDDISM VS TAOISM VS ATHEISM VS HUMANISM SMACKDOWN!

IT'S GOING DOWN THIS SUNDAY, ALL OVER GENSOKYO!

AFTER THIS ONE, YOU'RE GONNA NEED NEW SHRINES!

BE THERE, OR BE CAVED!

(I was bored and realized the 26th is a Sunday)

[Ikari]

I still think it's a mira-

THAT'S IT. Sanae's in Gensokyo, got access to internet thanks to the Kappa, and is a member of this forum since a while. Now, upon hearing the news about HM, she got pretty excited. She thought of who she'd like to include in the game; She picked her favorites (Nitori was an obvious choice. *nods nods*), and remembered that time where Koishi and ReiRisa fought at the shrine and thought "Holy crap this fight was cool I need to be able to PLAY IT". Thus, she used her powers to create miracles to force her into the game!

And then! She was like "Pfff I'll also sabotage those other two loonies" and used her powers again to give Byakuren a silly hat (She's jealous of her gradient hair) and Miko a cape, because Sanae knows every vilians have capes. (But it backfired, making Miko awesome) Finally, after 6 days of miracle working, she took a day of rest.

I knew it. Now all that's left if finding Sanae on the forum. >_>

[Validon98]

There you go, you found something silly. ^^;
I was actually referring to SoPM...

[Kilgamayan]

Oh my God I am going to murder the guy that made that Yamame for taunting me with her non-inclusion.

[Amraphenson]

*seethes*

[StratusAsterion]

Aww no Alice, Flandre or Satori :< don't get me wrong nothing against Koishi but I just like Satori more. At least Satori, Aya and Sanae are background characters so they get some form of apperance, lack of Flandre is not really suprising, but possible lack of Alice is upsetting >.> I really wanted a new sprite of her, a new artwork and possibly (more of a stretch) a slightly new design upgrade for her.

I still think the last character will be Miko's cape personified

[Zil]

The people making these fake portraits need to understand that in order to have even a shred a believability you need to arbitrarily change the character's hair color.

And when did gigantic tits become "loli."

[shadowbringer]

No, there are a number of people that, with every new game release announcement, unironically start speculating about how Mima is going to appear.

let me guess, all of said number of people come from /jp/. Which may be why I haven't seen such people (who claims she's going to appear. Which would be the best thing to happen to the Windows Touhou games, but still..).

"Countdown to Mima" should actually be "Mima's Countdown"

because she goes ATATATATATA on Koishi (making sure that the latter doesn't have her hitboxes pressure points reversed, first), that's why :V
you're already maid
