Touhou urban legend in limbo easter egg series#
ZUN and the fanbase have done superbly at keeping things all together, but the unique nature of how his series generates its popularity without jumping toward well-budgeted status is what places it in that Urban Legend of limbo category. It's to the point that Touhou's fan-made content exists for the purpose of attracting a market where variety is appreciated. The fan content associated with her franchise is a symptom of its strong fanbase, but the way that it's being handled plays out like a Public Domain property that encourages the fan content she comes with. 11th or 12th now maybe.Ĭlick to expand.You're definitely right when it comes to her categorization and status as a video game character, but the reason the popular opinion declares her as an Indie character is the strange middle-ground she's situated in. I wouldn't say Top 10 per se, but JUST bordering on it. Toby Fox has been a long-time fan of Touhou, and the fact that he's been shown to be on good terms with Sakurai (who is also a fan of shmups), means that there's a very high chance Reimu is at least being considered. Flying is kind of Reimu's thing (Well it's actually the thing of pretty much EVERY Touhou character, but Reimu especially).Īs for how likely I think Reimu is? To put it simply, since the sans Mii Costume, I've been convinced that Reimu's chances are at an all-time high. Or even just a float akin to Peach/Daisy. I'd argue the Spell Gauge from ULiL and AoCF would be nice addition (perhaps linked to Grazing) and perhaps the Spirit Gauge from the grounded fighters, which would allow Reimu temporary freeform flight (a la Hisoutensoku) to augment her recovery (It would essentially trigger on a third and fourth jump). Why would I fight you for objective fact?Īnyways, as far as my own thoughts on Reimu go.
