Touhou 12.3: Hisoutensoku - Meiling (No Commentary)

Chinese Girl
Meiling's your character if you wanted a more well rounded Youmu who solves problems with jump kicks. Meiling's pretty much a pure melee fighter with very few ranged attacks to back herself up. Her attacks don't do quite the insane amount of damage that Youmu does but she combos really well from attack to attack and she traverses the battlefield much smoother as well.

[@WishMakers]

I'd like to imagine this huge catfish just rolled up to Alice, Marisa, and Reimu and were like "yeah could you play along with this thing for me" and they were just like "sure".

[@FredWood41]

Patchy shouldn't test her shrooms on Meiling anymore...

[@Flygoniaks]

*I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING INCREDIBLE.* *THEY MADE THE WIND THING AT [**17:22**] MARISA.* *HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS?!*

[@Flygoniaks]

Update: It's called a weathervane.

[@kael070]

lmao i didn't notice this either, nice detail

[@ninjareaper4828]

"Great Wall of Scarlet Devil Mansion" - Marisa Kirisame (Trump).

[@bibbedcracker121]

Ah yes! Master Big Catfish! Truly the greatest menace to all the universe!

[@MrAnonymous1104]

I was not ready for what happened at 32:45, I actually spat up my drink, no joke. Thanks for that.

[@slayerofdarknssdmt9697]

What

[@poyomonofchaos]

Soooooo. Are we just gonna ignore the spinning Marisa during the "Reimu" battle?

[@marisaraindrops]

Wow...I'm surprised you never mentioned the Marisa weathervane that shows up as the background changes. As for the other games you'll be doing, I'm excited to see what they are. (And oh god Double Spoiler...I wouldn't want to put you through that....oh yeah, and there's Hatate. If you want to 100% you have to play through the game TWICE. MWAHAHA!)

[@caitlynbremer-cavanaugh7522]

+Marisa Kirisame the 2nd i saw the weathervane and thought "yep meiling is really dreaming now" because if that was really marisa then that would be when i lose my suspension of disbelief

[@adrianisawesome1234]

There's so many books on the floor of the library. I'm guessing Marisa finally decided to return some of them but she decided to just put them wherever she wanted instead of where they actually belonged.

[@fumoyuuka3117]

This game is so nostalgic now 😭

[@Interesting_Failure]

17:31 I know the background gets stupid as you go, but what is Marisa doing there?

[@freshlymemed5680]

Well considering it is a dream, might just be because Marisa sneaks into the mansion every now.

[@Mr_LeviathanEnvy]

Fun fact about Meiling's attack. That raibow kick of hers or whatever it's called is rather similar to Krizalid's attack; Typhoon Rage. And if anyone is wondering, Krizalid is the last boss aad the main antagonist from KOF '99

[@yngvi2003]

She also ripped off his End of Heaven move. No wonder that both of them get shipped on Mugen

[@elfmonster3082]

actually . you can beat the catfish before time runs out . if taisui xingjuns just destroy everything when time runs out . this means if time runs out at sanae vs suwako they both fall to death :s ?

[@pelandes3549]

... what the hell happened to the background in Stage 4?

[@bouteilledeau1463]

Pelayo Lana It already gets screwed in stage 3.

[@gerardomerino8558]

I think that i'm late for this, but the background starts becoming a joke little by little because it's all a dream

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@gerardomerino8558 Oh, so it's part of the story?

[@gerardomerino8558]

@@HaotoAnimeOnPiano yes, the whole point of meiling's scenario is that she's sleeping during work, each time the background becomes goofier means she's one step closer to waking up.

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@gerardomerino8558 That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

[@ashenfire749]

meiling needs to stop napping during her job, or this happens

[@hongmeiling8219]

No.

[@EinherjarMadCat]

I will gladly take a side game over a hiatus. Please play on, Mr. Omega. I caught you a few months ago, and decided to give you a watch. It was very entertaining - especially at The Last Comer. I'm very pleased, and I look forward to more. Thanks.

[@hackerbagel]

Fun fact: skipping reimu's dialogue will still have her gohei spinning

[@PatchyE]

Meiling has much better bullets than Youmu. Range is not really that important compared to speed and flexibility.

[@spaghettiking7312]

That's an ending worth crying over.

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

Strange, after Meiling, there's no more story modes? I can't seem to unlock other story modes.

[@rurihime4965]

Those are the only story modes

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@rurihime4965 Yeah... I didn't realize that until I played it for a second time.

[@yamahadx7synthesiser]

Im only here because I have rarely seen meiling's legs

[@pelandes3549]

Also, that Catfish thing is actually a real thing. You may want to check this out... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZrWaaxrgJiabc0

[@aalakbarov68]

okuu: have you guys seen my fixed star ? patchouli: o no

[@ThanhThanh-pu1sy]

Sanae cirno and meiling are only playable in story mode huh strange

[@RedFlameZero]

Huh. So that's how the voice came out, good on ya'.

[@dreamdrgn6803]

Meiling has good close combat bullets however, and does higher damage combos than meiling. She has the fastest walk, nice!

[@Team_Orchid]

Was that "Nooo" your actual voice or did you just grab a clip?

[@MegamanOmega184]

MissingnoTheGreat Yeah, The Noooo was me while the other edited voice was a buddy of mine's

[@TheDarkMarioAndSonic]

Nooooooo :( This was the most insane scenario evah:/

[@caitlynbremer-cavanaugh7522]

call this mindf**k the fighting game scenario cause just wow

[@SylkaChan]

*slap*

[@potato3836]

32:40

[@pandabear9541]

Ok i used to play this all the time, but had a hard drive die on me, where can i get this game again?

[@MegamanOmega184]

I generally pick up Touhou games from the Moriya Shrine moriyashrine.org/

[@scottallen2966]

? you failed. thats unusual for you

[@MegamanOmega184]

At that point I wasn't sure if you actually could win considering the plot, and that there wasn't a "bad" ending, rather it was the same all around

[@scottallen2966]

You were so close too lol

[@_JRAFS]

Is it possible to complete meiling's story?

[@BlueWokou]

Jayden Forsmo Shadid Yeah. There's no difference in the ending, though...

[@freygarr3943]

+Jayden Forsmo Shadid Yes, the first time i played it i actually killed the catfish with 1 second remaining, only after 10 seconds the timer started i realized i could damage it.

[@deepdarksama7764]

do you know how to install this

[@MegamanOmega184]

MrDeepDarkmindz I'm... Not sure what you downloaded to warrant an install but personally I wouldn't trust it. You shouldn't have to go through an install process to play Touhou games. (unless you purchased the disk, which in the case good luck. It'll probably similar to installing an english game just look for "Y" to signify yes or nest and just keep pressing that) moriyashrine.weebly.com/modern-era-1-th10th125.html Go there and scroll down. You'll find the game just fine when you extract it and not have to instal a thing.
