Let's Play Super Touhou Wars
<< | ^^ | >>
Now that we're all together, I have to sink a bunch of money into upgrading Marisa's team on Reimu's route and vice versa!
Since I talked Cirno into joining us, she comes in with these two levels of upgrades in every stat! THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.
Daiyousei personal bonus!
Now her healing ability doesn't cost any MP.
New item for Reimu!
Where SRW has Space affinity, Touhou never goes to space (except in that one manga), so instead there's Night affinity - usually high for youkai and low for humans. This Firefly Orb raises Reimu's night affinity to A.
ANYWAY LET'S GO
A gate!
Meiling is having trouble staying awake, what with the sun obscured by mist.
And here's Elly! Taunting Meiling about various things in a generally good-natured way.
Elly is here on Patchouli's orders, to kick the asses of any humans who try to go through this gate!
Fortunately for them, the sun is setting, so soon it'll be nighttime - the world ruled by youkai...
Meanwhile!
Did you think they had forgotten about this subplot?
This isn't quite what Sunny had in mind! She was expecting this place to be abandoned, since Reimu was out.
Regardless, the plan is the same: Prank the shrine!
Together, the three fairies manage to convince Akyu that she is being haunted by the shrine maiden's curse!
Mission accomplished! And it was super hilarious.
Reimu, Keine, Youmu! Come back quick and exterminate these fairies!
Rest base!
It's kind of cold, because Cirno is in the base.
This is pretty bad! Night is falling, and we don't want to have to deal with the world of youkai at night if we can avoid it.
But that's neither here nor there, as we are on the move!
The red house is visible from here.
We've arrived at the red house!
It is certainly red.
"You have done well to come this far, humans!"
It's the chinese girl who was with the maid before!
And Elly!
They introduce themselves as the guardians of the Scarlet Devil Mansion!
Now it has a name, awesome.
Marisa wonders why they're introducing themselves when we already know both of them. Youmu counters that it's honorable warrior conduct to give your name before a battle.
Cirno introduces herself as the strongest!
Alice introducers herself as really, we don't have to all do this, it's dumb and pointless.
Reimu ponders why Meiling seems so familiar... maybe because of that one PC-98 character.
Meiling and Elly may be lacking in amazing powers, but they have skill and strength!
In otherwords, as Marisa puts it, they're normal.
Whatever, the situation is simple!
If we want to get through the gate, we must defeat them.
So!
BRING IT OOOOON
Looks like Meiling and Elly both brought some extra muscle to the field. Nothing complex here strategy-wise - we break through!
There is a brief explanation of Night affinity, and how Reimu sucks at it, which I already prepared for! My more youkai characters, like Rumia, may actually get stronger at night.
Anyway, time to start tearing shit up!
Cirno continues to kick ass on the right front!
Overall, the first wave crashes against us and shatters like glass.
These enemies are weird!
As the first have wipes out, it's on to wave 2! This time there are some modern mooks around.
The one who actually gets the finishing blow on the first wave? Daiyousei!
The PC-98 enemies, with their square danmaku fields, are more vulnerable to attacks from the exact center of each side, since the distance to the enemy from the edge of the field is shortest. For normal enemies, that doesn't apply, so you need to fight with extra-long-range attacks like this one.
Thusly ends playtime!
Now it's just Elly and Meiling.
But wait! Something is coming from the building!
Apparently, the head maid sent these fairy maids out to assist in the danmaku battle.
Meiling VS Keine! The first blows dealt!
ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA
Defensive support!
First Pyramid!
Daiyousei, as is her custom, flies around like a maniac playing Healbitch.
The fairy maids, being the new mook, are marginally stronger than the old mooks!
But still not super strong.
THE PANELS CAN TALK
[ BGM - Perdition Crisis ]
And Elly is about like last time, attacks-wise!
More dangerously, she has her panel barrier! Everyone caught inside the 3x3 zone cannot act...
BUT I WILL NOT STAND FOR SUCH SHIT
BOMB IN THE FACE
Now the trapped characters are free!
Speaking of which, did I mention that Marisa got two spellcards instead of one during her upgrade mission?
MAGIC SIGN
STARLIGHT REVERIE
It kicks ass!
Last mook defeated!
Next goal: Defeat Elly.
That was easy!
Elly bemoans the destruction of her precious panels!
Meiling tells her to go ahead and retreat - she'll handle it from here.
One target left!
[ BGM - Shanghai Tea Palace ]
As with most enemies, Meiling can't lay a goddamn finger on Reimu!
By the way, our bonus condition is to get Meiling down to 20 or less MP.
By this point, a lot of our less dodgy characters are starting to suffer some real wear and tear. Trust and Daiyousei are our friends!
Also by this point, a number of characters have picked up the spirit ability Focus, which increases accuracy and evasion by 30% for one turn. Handy!
I will use this to whiddle slowly at her HP, so as to make her burn more MP.
After much harassment, she is brought down... to full HP!
SPELL CARD TIME
Showing no interest in what's going on in the human village, she just knows that her mistress ordered her to protect the gate, so BY GOD she's going to protect it!
Meiling's Rainbow Wind Chime spell card increases the defense of her and all allies in the area by 20%!
Since we beat everyone else already, that's just her.
LET'S GO FOR EPIC CLASH
HEADBUTT FUCK YEAH
HOW DO YOU TOP THAT
.......ow.
Fortunately, it has a whopping range of ONE, so I can just play keep away and I'm set.
Bonus condition met!
Anyway, from here the name of the game is lasering the hell out of Meiling.
Missiles are also acceptable.
The Chinese girl's got some fight left in her!
Not enough, though.
Meiling is knocked out without so much as a dramatic post-battle speech!
The guardians can't fight anymore. There's no time, so in we go!
This is the main enemy base! From here on, we must be careful.
Marisa is a little weirded out at how accurate her dream about this was.
Also she brought Shiro along!
Experimentation reveals that it likes candy.
Which reminds Reimu of where she remembered Meiling from!
It's from like stage 3, when she ate the last of the Taiyaki. Unfortunately, it's a little late for righteous indignation.
ANWYAY, in we go.
Things will only get harder from here...
Sakuya reports to her vampire mistress!
She seems more concerned with dinner than with any intruders.
Sakuya reports that the humans Elly warned of have defeated the gatekeeper.
Patchouli heard the details from Koakuma. It sounds like the humans have gotten more powerful since their first encounter with Sakuya!
According to her intel, there are 3.5 humans, 3 youkai, 2 fairies, and 0.5 ghosts in the enemy group. She seems to be formulating a plan.
Sakuya will lure the invaders into Patchouli's defense network. She has preparations to make, so she's going to the library.
The gatekeeper's power can't compare to Patchouli's so this should be more interesting. Remilia seems like she's having fun.
Hopefully these strange tresspassers will keep her entertained...
