Not quite. Most of the game was made by Twilight Frontier, ZUN just holds the rights of the title. Though he does help out with the game to an extent. It's the same with the music; Pretty much all tracks are made by U2 Akiyama, namely the remixed songs. Where as ZUN only made the two tracks that were completely new.
Fantasy Nature (as well as everyone else's "super card") are last words that are only available once you got 100% faith. These can not be seen in the move lists, since every character has a fixated one. Once you've hit max faith, you either hit Z+X+A+S or C+D.
OhHoNo that's a lot too explain in one comment. I guess the major thing to discuss is the major gimmick for each game. for HM you can choose what special attacks are mapped what button. each attack is given a certain Religous meter. what religion you are the most determines how you shot types function ( Buddhism: short range power, Taoism: spread shot etc. etc.) ULiL has preset moves and special moves based of urban legends that require a power orb to use. some are attacks, some are character buffs some have other uses not immediately apparent. there are a lot more differences, but I already drawn this out too long, you'll have to see for yourself.
Yeah, I for one was kinda upset when Sanae was confirmed not to be a playable character but, since the plot has to with a religious war, how would Sakuya and Utsuho fit into the plot?
Koishi's last word :What the hell? Nitori's last word : WHAT THE HELL? Both of Mamizou's spell cards and her last word: WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS TOUHOU AND TOUHOU RELATED IS GOING ON HERE??????????
The fact that there's, at least currently, not a Sanae, Sakuya, and most importantly an UTSUHO is kind of pissing me off right now. This game sure is amazingly beautiful, especially since it's all still very clearly spritework, but come on. No knives and/or pad joke executions? Especially after untying that rack Byakuren's apparently been keeping secret?
It's Gensokyo! That's explanation enough for pretty much anything that happens. Story-related or otherwise. Cutting out some of the people that have been pretty much everything from straight playable protagonists to solo-game stars kinda stings.
Utsuho was broken, I can manage without her. Rather than Utsuho, I'd love to have seen someone like Eirin / Kanako if we are to speak from a last-boss perspective. If any character could replace Utsuho, I'd liked to have seen Seiga from TD. (Mainly for the loltastic dream of the chance to see her use Yoshika as a shield when blocking attacks, and for prayers of an awesome arrange of her theme.)
***** Well first, Satori needs to maintain Palace of the Earth Spirits, like keeps Okuu in check. Second, the story between Kokoro and Koishi is the central point of HM, i will spoil it i I told you lol.
I was going to download Hopeless Masquerade but after watching how the game works now... After seeing The animation of every spell card.... And oh god, after i saw the rythm Of the gameplay... Nope. On Inmaterial, Scarlet Weather And Hiso, the combat rythm its really high and requires a lot of practice to learn how to avoid or use certain habilities. Hopeless Masquerade looks more like a normal Touhou game than a fighting one. In 12.3, The final battle of Sanae's story mode, yeh that aerial battle vs Suwako, was one of The most NOPE moments in the entire game because the flying combat (And The moving controls) were almost frustrating than enjoyable. And the spellcards.... There are some that look like a lot of fun, like that one in wich you shot The enemy from a third person view... Thats a incredible move and seems fun To use. However, the rest of them are casted very slow Almost for my taste. In all the previous fighting touhous, The spellcards had Sometimes special features, casting times and side-efects, like Suika's spiritual bending (draining all the spirit from enemies to temporaly mute their habilities To shot magical atacks was just great). Nah, im not saying Hopeless Masquerade is bad, but i was expecting something much more better than this. :/
+Asriel Dreemurr I'm pretty sure this is a very good change for touhou fighting games sometimes. We have to accept it and adapt to it no matter what type of games it is. I know that that is your opinion but hey, I like Hopeless Masquerade and Urban Legend as much as I like Hisou and SWR and IaMP :)
Atsushi Kakeru I understand your point haha, i say that to myself in other situations, like while playin Metal Gear Rising after all the Metal Gear Solid games but... Idk, the gameplay of H. Masquerade, resembles too much for my taste to the clasic Touhou game style, and i like the fightin spinoffs because... Well, that, they are fightin spin offs XD, but maybe i will give it a try later.
i fell in love with Mamizou in this game i already liked her before but in this game she is just hiarious to use and i generaly end up loving the more silly/funny characters in the fighting games like suwako and suika even tho my fave character is koishi when i 1st used her i just wanted to rip my hair off but after a while i got used to her and she is fun too but Mamizou wins hands down for me just for how silly hers attacks are and her theme is just as silly too i love it xD
3 years later huh. With AoCF out for quite a while now I also think that Soku was better. I think this way due to the character selection and spellcard system. I am sucker for Soku's artstyle too, simply my fav. Love the new 2hus, but I cannot deny my heavy bias towards the first windows games. Not to put down the new fighting game trilogy, the overall visuals in these new ones are very good, the stages now actually feel like they belong in Gensokyo, and Migel Futoshi's sprite art is too notch.
ZUN contributes in oversight, character balancing, story and music but you're unfairly attributing the game to ZUN alone when the vast majority of the work was done by Tasofro. ZUN doesn't take credit for the game. It's not sold as a Team Shanghai Alice game, it's sold as a Tasogare Frontier production.
tis a shame this game has no yukari most of the characters have some funny over the top moves in this game just imagine what the troll lord named yukari would pull (being the first to have an outrageous move in a touhou fighting game) also : i was hoping to see ran playable in this game pitting her against mamizou since her hatred to foxes was " a story for another time" she is a awsome boss but too overshadowed by the afromentioned gap troll and deserves some screen time
how to use that fantasy nature move? I only know Fantasy seal and dragon slaying circle. Basicaly, I only found 2 special move for each character. Is there any move list manual somewhere?
0:00 "Reimu Hakurei"
1:19 "Marisa Kirisame"
2:21 "Ichirin Kumoi"
3:36 "Byakuren hijiri"
4:29 "Mononobe no Futo"
5:23 "Toyosatomimi no Miko"
6:22 "Nitori Kawashiro"
7:15 "Koishi Komeiji"
8:24 "Mamizou Futatsuiwa"
The way Koishi just stares into your soul before detonating the roses in Brambly Rose Garden...*shudders*
Smooth 12 fps
you know what all the character may not look like a chibi any more but the spell card and lastword of 10.5 and 12.3 are way more flashy and awesome.
1:13 - SEXY ARMPIT!!!
6:16 Shining Finger Sword?
She’s 15
Tf
scopophilia
6:51 Solid Snake called. He wants his Final Smash back.
3:05 perfect sync with music and Ichirin Kumoi lol
is it just because your recording or something or is the game normally this laggy?
6:59-7:14 Snake's final smash
1:44 Big Bang..........1:46 Kamehamehaaaaaa!!!!!!
+Juan Jose Hernandez Vargas That's what I was thinking!
does the game look extremely slow motion to anyone else?
also, my reaction to 3:44 was "...Jesus, is that you?"
Touhou in fighting game is the one where Zun can put a lot of gag and parodies in, so it's kinda expected to be honest. ;)
Okay, Tanuki-girl, (forgot her name), has AWESOME spellcards! I would totally play as her just for that!
7 years late.
The tanuki-girl's name is Mamizou Futatsuiwa. You might have noticed by long ago, but still, why not inform, at least?
It was ZUN and Tasofro collaboration , so in a sense ZUN makes this game
@LilMenace68 You do unlock Mamizou by Story Mode. It might stop crashing if you change your system locale to Japanese.
Oh Ichrin, will you ever be anything but a hitbox?
7:00 leave it to Nitori
Not quite. Most of the game was made by Twilight Frontier, ZUN just holds the rights of the title. Though he does help out with the game to an extent.
It's the same with the music; Pretty much all tracks are made by U2 Akiyama, namely the remixed songs. Where as ZUN only made the two tracks that were completely new.
5:42 Miko'bitch please i'm fabulous!'
I was looking for this so long... Thank you!
8:09 You have successfully been MindFuck, have a nice day.
Fantasy Nature (as well as everyone else's "super card") are last words that are only available once you got 100% faith.
These can not be seen in the move lists, since every character has a fixated one.
Once you've hit max faith, you either hit Z+X+A+S or C+D.
What's the difference between hopeless masquerade and urban legend in limbo?
OhHoNo that's a lot too explain in one comment. I guess the major thing to discuss is the major gimmick for each game. for HM you can choose what special attacks are mapped what button. each attack is given a certain Religous meter. what religion you are the most determines how you shot types function ( Buddhism: short range power, Taoism: spread shot etc. etc.) ULiL has preset moves and special moves based of urban legends that require a power orb to use. some are attacks, some are character buffs some have other uses not immediately apparent. there are a lot more differences, but I already drawn this out too long, you'll have to see for yourself.
0:51 Hax Sign: You Just Plain F-ing Lose
There has been 3 fighting games released for this (although 1 was technically an expansion to one of the games)
6:53 Even ZUN himself makes a joke about Nitori and Solid Snake. Super Smash Bros Brawl, anyone?
She is now playable with skills and spellcrads in the 1.10 patch. Only in the 1.10 patch, not the 1.10b one.
Yeah, I for one was kinda upset when Sanae was confirmed not to be a playable character but, since the plot has to with a religious war, how would Sakuya and Utsuho fit into the plot?
Whoah! That was epic!
Heed this advice, This is why everyone should have a cute baby girl when they're older.
Hey everyone there's a new version of Hopeless Masquerade it has a new skill/spell card for everyone
I believe avery single person who has played SSBB realized. After all, it's exactly the same attack.
Last spell is C + D in standard layout.
Press C (C or A+B) and D (Z or X+Y) at the same time.
Koishi's last word :What the hell?
Nitori's last word : WHAT THE HELL?
Both of Mamizou's spell cards and her last word: WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS TOUHOU AND TOUHOU RELATED IS GOING ON HERE??????????
FFFFF MAMIZOU IS JUST SOOO CUUUUTE 10/10 GOING TO PLAY AS HER ALL DAY ERRYDAY ajfsdiofjosdijf
6:52 Did anyone realize that was almost the same move that snake did when he uses he's final smash in Super Smash Bros Brawl?
Kokoro is missing, but she's not finished yet.
When you gaze long into Koishi, Koishi also gazes into you.
It's Tasofro. ZUN didn't make this game. Anyway, the reaction guys meme is the icon denoting the level of adoration the audience has for Miko.
these animations are excellent! so awesome looking
"IT'S-AH SHOWTIMU!!"
You just explained why they were included in the game in your comment.
The fact that there's, at least currently, not a Sanae, Sakuya, and most importantly an UTSUHO is kind of pissing me off right now. This game sure is amazingly beautiful, especially since it's all still very clearly spritework, but come on. No knives and/or pad joke executions? Especially after untying that rack Byakuren's apparently been keeping secret?

a shooting game made a combat game ?
I LIKE IT !!!!
looks cool
(I was speaking about Kokoro, of course)
Solid Nitori
Nitori's Last Word is epic o.O. Reminds me of Snake's Final Smash from SSBB :P.
4:07 : NAMUSAN ... KIIIIICK !
5:27 look at yuyuko 😁😁😁
"Execute the Command of the Emperor with Pleasure"
Yes ma'am.
What confuses me they add Koishi but not her sister Satori why?
***** Well first, Satori needs to maintain Palace of the Earth Spirits, like keeps Okuu in check. Second, the story between Kokoro and Koishi is the central point of HM, i will spoil it i I told you lol.

I'm pretty sure that's just Soga no Tojiko from TH13.
i fell in love with Mamizou in this game i already liked her before but in this game she is just hiarious to use and i generaly end up loving the more silly/funny characters in the fighting games like suwako and suika even tho my fave character is koishi when i 1st used her i just wanted to rip my hair off but after a while i got used to her and she is fun too but Mamizou wins hands down for me just for how silly hers attacks are and her theme is just as silly too i love it xD
5:20 is that....madoka in the background?
13.5 is a fighter(above) TH14 is a SHMP like most. though TH14 is not out.
Oh, Mamizou. Still being the playfully drunken trickster, hm?
First Song Name?
Onegaishimasu!
Mamizous last word reminds me of felicias level 3 special in UMVC3
6:52 Why does Nitori have a cannon?!
THANK YOU THAT WAS JUST WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY
There's an english patch still as w.i.p. btw.
And latest is 1.34b
Finally we see the oppisite gender in a touhou game
the final boss is playable.... just only if you play from a japanese locale... I use a program for it :D
not as good as hisoutensoku and swr :/
+MeidoLazorZangetsuha its still good stop hating
+Miguel Castorena kindly explain how i am "hating"
But Urban Legend in Limbo us a little better.
3 years later huh.
With AoCF out for quite a while now I also think that Soku was better.
I think this way due to the character selection and spellcard system.
I am sucker for Soku's artstyle too, simply my fav.
Love the new 2hus, but I cannot deny my heavy bias towards the first windows games.
Not to put down the new fighting game trilogy, the overall visuals in these new ones are very good, the stages now actually feel like they belong in Gensokyo, and Migel Futoshi's sprite art is too notch.
SWR and Soku feels better to play. Or may I just hate the flying mechanics in fighting game
ASTRAL FINISH !!!
She can eat my cucumber any day...
What?
I grow cucumbers out back.
4:20 *DHAOS LASEEER*
Gotta say don't like the way marisa looks in this....just kinda think black and white outfit with fingerless gloves and boots just suit her better
When did she ever have fingerless gloves?
derpsire53 good chunk of art and videos
Zeke Blane I thought you were talking about official art when you said that.
The characters' clothes can be edited on this version of the game.
That is why she looks different.
derpsire53 its touhou what's cannon and none cannon is invalid. I direct you to the momiji paradox
"720p" Sure.
ZUN contributes in oversight, character balancing, story and music but you're unfairly attributing the game to ZUN alone when the vast majority of the work was done by Tasofro.

Byakuran is way too awesome here... XD
tis a shame this game has no yukari most of the characters have some funny over the top moves in this game just imagine what the troll lord named yukari would pull (being the first to have an outrageous move in a touhou fighting game)
also : i was hoping to see ran playable in this game pitting her against mamizou since her hatred to foxes was " a story for another time" she is a awsome boss but too overshadowed by the afromentioned gap troll and deserves some screen time
ah yes my favorite last word is ._.Z • u•i• • • i • E • w • v
No shizz, Byakuren
6:14 ex....CALIBUR!!!!!!
Ohhh....
I love how Byakuren pretty much does the wrath of the raging demon ultra stance from SF4 for her last word. /watch?v=d7b0eXt24Rk
how to use that fantasy nature move? I only know Fantasy seal and dragon slaying circle.
Basicaly, I only found 2 special move for each character. Is there any move list manual somewhere?
Freaking Mamizou cracked me up.
Well, she's playable now. The thing is that she lacks spell cards.
Miko Disco Orb. 8D
6:53 Snake!!!!!
how do you use These
3:15 Reminds me of Naruto's Susanoo
Minus Kokoro
The plot of this game is that there is a religious war going on. Youmu, Komachi, Aya and Reisen wont fit in.
Lol nitori went snake mode xD
awesome :D
Yeah, I remembered right after I posted the comment... ^^'
Thank you, nevertheless! :)
When I saw that I was like "snake? O_O"also glad im not the only one who thought of super smash bros brawl xD
anyone know when we're gonna have this game translated ?
1:29 HADOUKEN!!!!!(?)
Ummm what's with Futo and plates
FATE/ZERO FTW
Anyone know where I can download the full version of this game? I have the trial but for some reason it won't patch, and I want to play it so badly..
Mamijou is such a troll...
Trop beau les ultim's :'S
What... is up with Mamizou's spellcards?
