Touhou 14.5: Urban Legend in Limbo - Ichirin Story

[@gabrielwright-dunn9355]

You guys really had a ball with those puns...That wasn't completely intentional, I promise.

[@bashily2844]

Don’t apologize for a good pun, that would just be punishment for us jokers I have no regrets

[@foolbio5471]

1:37 More like "THIS IS MY STAND OKIKU-SAN"

[@foolbio5471]

Magical girls bara version? SIGN ME IN!!!

[@Team_Orchid]

Huh, so not everyone is going to run into the psychic? That's interesting at least.

[@MegamanOmega184]

Words cannot describe how glad I am on that... it was _really_ tiring in HM how each story was so formulaic of "fight 5 bosses, fight Mamizou, fight Kokoro". Honestly reminds of of the changes from IaMP to SRW. IaMP was extremely formulaic as well (fight 5 bosses, fight Yukari, fight Suika) but then SRW changed it up both having shorter story modes and not every story ending with Tenshi.

next week we got turbo granny XD

[@MercyPerson]

Pansy Jerichon and then after that we got a plate!

[@oguzhangungor9117]

Ahhhhh yes Ichirin., I love playing as her in this game if not for anything just because how savage Unzan is.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

15:25 Well it's official, the Story Mode has it out against any character themes that aren't Kasen's or Sumireko's. To think we'll have to wait next fighting game to have a proper "non main villain" Final Boss Theme.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

1:02 Er, unless you're taking the special stages into account with their weird colored orbs, Sonic was more about collecting rings and emeralds.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

1:47 Is Ichirin trying to mimic her boss' rainbow scroll with Unzan?

[@SeleniumGlow]

Editor had great puns today. Please keep them coming.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

0:46 So here the order is "lackey *then* leader". The opposite of Hopeless Masquerade.

[@SeleniumGlow]

The Editor had great puns this video. Please keep 'em coming.

[@karisasani7006]

Anyways I hope you have this script to be the halloween special aka this script where you control Nue Houjuu and you fight Hecatia who is wearing her Halloween outfit where she holds pumpkins in each hand as well as different pieces of clothing. The script has a spellcard that forces the player up to the top of the screen which would normally make it so Marisa B and Reimu B players be forced to time the spellcard out since they can't attack enemies from behind but Nue Houjuu's focused shot type allows her to attack from behind which means you are using a character that was clearly made for the script. It makes perfect sense for the halloween special.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

8:32 WE'RE NOT EVEN *IN* THE BAMBOO FOREST RIGHT NOW!!! Does the Story Mode have something against all character themes that aren't Kasen's or Sumireko's?

[@Raul_MM]

No way, even my waifu Shinmyoumaru is in this game?! Now I can't wait to get to the video in which you play as her, this game is truly awesome!

[@shimnyoumaruthesmolone2743]

Raul MM Awww thx so much * hugs his leg*

[@NijikaAirConditioner]

🤨

[@KKYY12]

I like your game plays

[@okuufallout]

8:22 As a tall person, I can confirm that short people *are* terrifying.

[@karisasani7006]

Might I remind you to do that glitch script for the Halloween special. Just reminding you sides the way it was made creepy would only make sense for it to be a Halloween special

[@MegamanOmega184]

The fight against Mitama Glitchara? Or the KoishiTale Halloween contest script? Those are the only Halloween focused scripts I know of and both of which I've played. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5a2aqiff9-oe6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5y3oISjnL-nj6s

[@karisasani7006]

MegamanOmega Oh yeah I remember this one where you control Nue Hojuu and fight Hecatia in her Halloween outfit. One of Hecatias spell cards here forces you up to the top of the screen. That's not often seen in spell cards.

[@karisasani7006]

MegamanOmega Fortunately Nue Hojuu's shot type allows her to attack from behind as well

[@Latency345]

She's a stand user.

[@megaxx5868]

HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST

[@Bern9917]

My mind: Ichirin: yare yare...

[@extremmefan7305]

UNZAN IS A FREAKING SCROLL

[@lilyyang9775]

i saw that video but i can't find your comment anymore.

[@LunaticFullMoon]

You seem to be having a really easy time with the fights, have you considered playing these games on Hard? They do seem a lot easier than the 3 first fighting games.

[@PeteBiggy]

zero dislikes almost four years after release, as it should be

[@RealityMasterRogue]

How to play ichirin: Forward C, up c, up c, up c, back c, fotward c.

[@WishMakers]

I'm looking forward to this every week...I can't wait. This is legit my favorite Touhou game besides UFO so this is super exciting to me. Omega, if you need PS4 Reisen extra footage I can get some for you if you want. I have the necessary materials to do so, and I would be happy to help! It might take a bit however, my copy of the game is not where I am currently living. NEXT WEEK IS BYAKUREN HELL YES

[@MegamanOmega184]

I mean... I donno... I mean, it'd be nice to have for completions sake. But on the other hand, putting commentary and instructions on what to do against bosses on something I didn't do doesn't seem right... I donno, I'm not sure what to think about that, cause if that's what I'd resort to I might as well just say "watch someone else's video"

[@WishMakers]

MegamanOmega I gotcha, that makes sense. I was just making the offer was all. My apologies if it seemed kinda rude, I didn't mean to self-advertise or anything like that (and if I did I would've done a shitty job, I don't have anything close to what you put out haha)

[@karisasani7006]

Anyways can't wait until you get the Reisen DLC story

[@MaskedBeeX]

Probably won't happen, as he does not have a PS4 or the ability to capture the footage from one.

[@oddwright7913]

Wait I thought Ichirin's urban legend was the woman who could stretch herself to look in at you on the 2nd floor. And something about brothels, I dunno~

[@MegamanOmega184]

I did find what you're talking about while doing research, but that's not this one in particular. That's a takaonna youkai who is "an ugly woman would stretch their bodies out to two stories tall to watch/menace what's going on inside when walking past a brothel". Hasshaku-sama however is more of a modern ghost story, or I suppose "creepypasta" would be more accurate that was spread on 2ch that got really popular. Rather than a woman who stretches it's an extremely tall woman (Hasshaku-sama would literally translate to "Ms. Eight-feet-tall" ). I'm not 100% certain, but I think this here's a translation of the story that she originated from. sfushigi.com/www/2017/05/25/ms-slender/

[@GUMPAAful]

Well, so the next episode from Ichirin to Miko are gonna be the same right? Searching for balls, also is me or Byakuren, Miko, Mamizou amd Reimu are all of them protexting Gensokyo in one way or another like in HM and in here they try to solve the incident the four of them, and Mamizou also not only solving that incident and various and also guiding the heroines in HM, i feel like Miko amd Byakuren are always fighring to see who is gonna solve the incident like in HM and Reimu is always, i dont include Kasen for beign selfish in openong the barrier , it would be great to see Mamizou, Byakuren and Miko as playable in a mainline game,knowing these i would much prefer that i touhou 15.5 the antagonist route goes like this only three battle but intense one but like this Mamizou/Kasen -> Reimu/Marisa -> Miko/Byakuren, so what dotou think about this , also hype for Jesus in Motorycle , Vroom Vroom Taoists, also have you already completed the gamr?

[@MegamanOmega184]

In a way, honestly almost ever other character'll be similar in that regard cause at the core, everyone's motivated to begin this by collecting balls. And yeah, both Byakuren and Miko go into this with the idea of protecting Gensokyo, or just that they feel these balls are seriously bad news. Issue is both Byakuren and Miko have their thoughts on how to deal with these and don't like/trust the other one. I have no idea what the 15.5 pairups will be as for as story-mode's considered really. Though rather than dedicated teams that have some relation to one another, I suspect for story-mode character A's team member will fluctuate throughout the game from stage to stage to more random characters (keep in mind, from the 14.5 Extra stage you have Reimu and Mokou having a connection... but that's really all I have to go on) And no I have not completed the game yet, free time is sadly not something I have a lot of, and these videos take forever compared to others.

[@GUMPAAful]

MegamanOmega Mmmhh to more random characters ? I see that like a character saying" i just pair with her because she is strong" but i debout that thy gonna change the final boss, from some times beign the antagonist and sometime beign something someone else and seeing how the game it may have a lot of final bosses , but either way i pretty sure that the best duo for a final boss is Byakuren and Miko , is the best duo of all maybe the antagonist fight aginst them ( we dont want a generic Reimu final boss) but who knows ( we also want to see Koishi/Kokoro) it would be cool to see them and maybe also a Ichirn/Futo story, either way this game left the bar to hight likr the Final boss of the whole Game ( no Mokuo) is absolutely wonderful in any way possible .

[@muscletone718]

I get the impression that none of these fighters are anywhere near "balanced" but I just am having a hard time figuring out which ones are OP and which are Lowtier, probably because I'm not actually able to play this being stuck on Sony lol

[@shirukutsuki3983]

So omega What do you think about the updates on all the len'en games (and about a certain sparrow got playable)?

[@MegamanOmega184]

Wow, just... wow. Thatwas pretty much my reaction when I saw that one. I had a feeling she was gonna at least be _on_ that final team cause of the unused data that was found, I just had no idea _that_ was how that final team worked. Just... Damn...

[@shirukutsuki3983]

JynX is like "so i heard you like playable sparrow, now have her on all games!ALL OF THEM!!"

[@MegamanOmega184]

Suzoom, retroactively invading _all_ the Len'ens

[@brantontucker6734]

Does Ichirin's urban legend have a name

[@MegamanOmega184]

I go into more detail on it at the end of the video, but yes. Her urban legend is Hasshaku-sama

[@brantontucker6734]

Oh, I asked it's the only Japanese urban legend that's familiar to me

[@oddwright7913]

You need to work on timing a little bit. Take into account the time before they recover.

[@lilyyang9775]

hey mega, is it true that there's a video about touhou revolution that has your footage in it and it's not credited?

[@MegamanOmega184]

Yeah, it was some history of Touhou, or Touhou evolution or something. My comment's still there, but it's about a month old now so it's a bit buried.

[@MissingLure]

Next up:Turbo granny

[@ninjareaper4828]

This game's plot makes no sense. "Oh I've been beaten up 5 times over these balls, so let's go beat up other people and take THEIR balls instead." Actually, that actually makes some sense. For revenge-loving characters anyway...

[@MegamanOmega184]

It does kinda make sense, mainly because of the rumors spreading about that you get some sort of "reward" for collecting all 7. As you saw here alone Ichirin thought you could reach enlightenment while Sukuna thought she could grow bigger. Also helps that cause of the nature of the balls, even if you've lost one to someone in a battle, once all seven are collected you'll instantly regain the one you started with. So this process is pretty never ending.

[@ninjareaper4828]

MegamanOmega Interesting. It seems as though Sumireko was more clever than I thought... Well, she was, but the residents of Gensokyo aren't THAT stupid either.

[@GUMPAAful]

Ninja Reaper Well , she wasnt the ones that created the Occult balls, so the real Master mind Sagume really think about it all

[@ninjareaper4828]

GUMPAAflux Oh really? I thought I would've come across that fact during my research...

[@GUMPAAful]

Ninja Reaper Well rhat why we all want sagume in touhou 15.5 , so literally Sagume created rhe occult balls with the purpose of the urban legends but for that she need it soemone from the outside world , she trick Sumireko to do her binding ( without her knowing she was trick by someone) , so she plan all that to get just one , one occult ball to Gensokyo, the one that has a Urban Legend call Apollo 13 Conspiracy, and it have a the shape of the lunar capital, and if you see the sotry of LoLK you know what happen
