shes right and she should do it

row row fight the powah

Alright, folks! Let's see what's behind door number 3!








Congrats, raocow, on beating Anime Girl Kirby in time for the 30th anniversary! And thus this LP comes to a close...

BUT! We still have the traditional talkhaus postgame! Tomorrow, sometime before the next LP starts, I'mma pop back in here one last time for the LIGHTNING ROUND -- one last batch of remixes! No genre, no theme, anything goes!

[helucard]

Been a heckin fun lookin' game, grats on beating it!
It's not something I could comfortably play personally, but yeah, having seen it showcased like this has been enjoyable.
Really is a shame about the ending policy though, but I get it.

Good luck getting your new PC in! Hope Fed Ex aren't lying through their teeth

[Grounder]

been waiting to post this all thread long

[Rixithechao]

Change of plans, lighting round's gonna happen sometime after tomorrow's B-slot video like always for Reasons.

Also here's a remix I just realized I forgot to post on the final day of the intermission whoops!

[Donut]

For those who want to see Flandre's scenario done on hard, I recommend this video, which does the entirety of the true route without dying:



I think for the LP switching to normal may have been the right call, but it really is fun to see the game come together on hard mode.

Anyway, I said as such in the comments, but thanks for play. I'm not certain how much the regular games would click with raocow, but if the time ever comes I'll be eager to see how he finds them.

The calm before the storm...

It seems nobody knows what the Greedy Trial is (available for all characters), since like 4 months later, it still hasn’t been implemented yet.

L-L-L-

ROUND!

Presenting one final batch of remixes, one for each fighter in the game (and Okina)! No genre restrictions, and I didn't actually go in planning on mapping each remix to a character but it still ended up that way. A couple of these tracks were suggested by Enjl, the rest were picked on the basis of stuff like "hey this would be a fun bonus", "I couldn't use this during the main thing but still want to share it", "this song/artist/style/thing didn't get much representation", "I know y'all were expecting this", or just personal bias.

The remixes corresponding to the playable cast should be obvious, but can you match the others to their corresponding NPC? Once you think you've figured them out, you can check your answers here!

Bonus challenge: guess which ones were Enjl's contributions! We will (probably) not give the correct answer to this one.

[Grounder]

Lightning round, you say? Don't mind if I do!

(general flashing lights and eye strain warning)

[Chirei]

So the official touhou fan rules state that raocow is not allowed to show the endings, but that does not stop a renegade viewer like me from spoiling the ending in imagedumps!!!111

[kitikami]

There is something really satisfying about seeing raocow work through the whole game on Hard mode only to switch to Normal at the very end and just steamroll every opponent with the training he has built up.

[Donut]

This story is not at an end! Raise your sporks and prepare for the next round once again.



EDIT: Never mind I'm dumb. This will all be patched back into the PC version, so looking forward to the addendum! It seems the second half with Reimu is teasing the Greedy Challenge, as well.

[Nimono]

WOAH an official game is coming to Switch?! That's a shocker!! I wonder if they'll make a translation for it and make it available outside Japan?

[Donut]

It's possible, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. Antinomy of Common Flowers got an official English translation and also got the console treatment, but the translation's most notable aspect was being...bad. Like, 90s-era bad, full of basic errors and typos. There's a reason ZUN said once that he prefers to leave these things to the overseas fans.

Still, even in the event it's Japan-only, the Switch is region free, so there's nothing stopping you from enjoying it on the Switch provided you don't mind the language barrier.

[AWMonopolyMan]

Who handled that translation? Phoenixx? (The publishers) or possibly Twilight Frontier themselves? Since other Phoenixx published games released on Consoles had solid translations.

[Donut]

I don't know who handled the translations, actually. If it was stated I missed it, but I don't think it was Tasofro at least. When it comes to Touhou though, even otherwise good translators have trouble doing it justice unless they're insiders to the community. Touhou has a lot of idiosyncratic language and terms, so it is important to have a consistent set of agreed upon translations if you want it to be properly understood and accepted by the fans. I'll never forget the disappointment when I learned the official localization for Lotus Eaters rendered youkai as "ghouls."

Ironic since early Touhou fan translations were incredibly jank and tended to not flow well outside of some cheesy lines - "Shoot and I'll move! In a flash!". I guess that's just the nature of a community improving at a language communally.
