東方Project 第14弾の情報です - Double Dealing Character

[Clarste]

I'm not sure how literally we can take the system cards. Where would the characters even get these things? Although I suppose it is evidence of something, maybe.

[Rei Scarlette]

I had always assumed these cards were picked up after the match, but on second thought I guess that explanation doesn't work very well. IIRC you don't need to fight the correct character at all to get more of the cards, so Reimu just "picking up" these watch cards for example, after a battle with Marisa, makes no sense to begin with. Huh.

Also Okuu getting 4 watches and them suddenly being available for Meiling to use also makes no sense (or get this, four total watches but both Okuu and Meiling have all four) but it's fine as a gameplay mechanics sort of thing.

Now I really must wonder what's up with these cards and where they come from.

[Karisa]

Assuming there is a shot type where Sakuya abandons her weapons, as the story seems to hint at... well, the bomb might be stopping time (or might be something else), but what would the main shot be? All of Sakuya's shot types so far, as far as I know, involve her knives for the main shot.

It was, to an extent. Her bombs as that shottype would stop bullets (but not new ones that spawn during the bomb) but the boss and enemies would still be able to move and shoot more danmaku. The bombs would also clear everything off the screen after they finished. It probably would've been a bit too powerful to have her able to freeze everything, excluding herself, as a bomb, but I dunno.

I think it would have been less powerful if it fully stopped everything except herself. It wouldn't help as much during stage portions or survival cards, and the absence of new bullets would reduce the cherry+ gain (which in denser patterns is quite high compared to most shot types, see the world record for an example).

Her shoes will be used :V

[Rei Scarlette]

Unfocused: Spoons. Focused: Forks.

Because these are not technically weapons and so there is no problem with using them.

Interesting trivia: the 26th is the 17th day of the lunar month.

Which means that Sakuya's return will fall directly after the sixteenth night. Coincidence, or something more?

Nope. ZUN the mastermind playing trix on us.  :V

Sakuya your HAND and its FINGERS

Sakuya your FACE

[Shizzo]

She probably got the same disease Remilia had in IN from serving her for too long. 

My condolences to the SDM.

[ToyoRai]

Goddamnit, ZUN! We though your artstyle was this time passable!

[Sage Ω (Ultima)]

Sakuya your HAND and its FINGERS

That looks like it hurts.

[Stuffman]

She's just taking after her oujo-sama.

[Formless God]

She looks like she's holding a big ass lollipop

Quick translation:

The CDs for tomorrow's Reitaisai release are done.

Of course I totally haven't mix my Buddhist chanting CD into it by mistake.

Now I won't be going to Reitaisai empty-handed.

The price is 300 yen~ Don't make me give you changes, (especially for newcomers)

[game2011]

So... no new character on the demo disc for a mainstream Window series this time?  Or is this not the first time?

[AnonymousPondScum]

Embodiment of Scarlet Derp. :V

[Piranha]

Haha, and I was looking forward to a non-derp Sakuya this time.

[PhantomSong]

-goes read the blog-
-Has Google Chrome translate it into this:

Tomorrow, disk put out example festival was completed.
Chanting my CD did not or contains contents also wrong. I already tomorrow, not empty-handed in this. The Yo is scheduled for 300 yen, thank you for not to be your fishing (the people of the person, especially the first).

... You never can trust Google Chrome with language translations...   :derp:

[Tiamat]

I think it's cute how derpily overjoyed she looks to be in the next game finally (and on a CD cover, to boot!)

[PhantomSong]

I actually just noticed something

Look how the path of Sakuya's knives go, they move out of the straight path. Perhaps that's how they're acting strange?

[Polaris]

[cuc]

I can't recall any previous demo CD covers not using bosses, either.

Why would you assume it's originating there? looks to me like it's coming from her center as a separate stream.

Yea you newcomers! Make sure you pay exactly 300! 3 coins! That is all!

[Mr_Bob]

PUHAHAHAHAHA!

The background looks nice though.

[Shizzo]

Oh wait so the games're getting released today?  Goodness I completely forgot of the Japanese timezone factor.  Yay we'll hear of it faster than I thought we would!

[Sungho]

No, it's still a bit less than 18 hours before start of Reitaisei.

Wonder what music there will be in the new game.
Actually looking forward to the music. It's been more than 10 months since his last.

[game2011]

New music, of course.

Thanks for the reply!

[Yonowaaru]

Looking back through the blog, I can't find Ten Desires' demo CD, but UFO's had Nazrin and SA's had Yamane. All stage 1 bosses, huh.
I hope it's not going to be a 'Fight the other playable character' right at the start, though! If I'm going to fight Sakuya again, then at least as a stage 4 boss...

[Gray21oh]

Yea you newcomers! Make sure you pay exactly 300! 3 coins! That is all!

So if they pay 400 yen instead they get a slap on the wrist?
