I probably won't bring it back. I didn't like the playstyle the old dspecial encouraged.
D YellowMadness 11 Mar @ 2:52pm 
Can we get a version that has the old down special? I used it a lot & liked it a lot. I don't use the new one much or like it much & I now use the neutral special & side special far less often since their interaction with down special is gone.

Also... apologies about the final smash having no sprite, I wanted to make one but I had to rush the update for a major. I'll polish up the FS when i have the free time for it
LilMissMasq  [author] 5 Dec, 2024 @ 9:08am 
I chose to replace the down special, yes. I wasnt really happy with how the talisman fit into her kit before

what happened to the seal? it was replaced with the Ascension kick?

the yin yang orb doesn't do anything in training practice mode

I just tested Iceball's complaint and it is not a linux issue. I use the runes F M N and got a crash to desktop with no log what so ever
LilMissMasq  [author] 25 Oct, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
It's a known bug; one that I don't really know how to fix myself.
iceball3 25 Oct, 2022 @ 11:22am 
I love this, thanks! Does anyone else get the crash in Abyss mode whenever any of the homing runes are enabled though? I've been crashing every time and I'm wondering if it's linux related or something else.
LilMissMasq  [author] 4 Oct, 2022 @ 4:11pm 
Yeah, Munophone was removed a while ago
B00m Fly. 4 Oct, 2022 @ 5:36am 
hey uh, idk if I'm missing something but is munophone support gone? I noticed UP+TAUNT has a similar animation to the phone so I assumed it got removed.
Renecup 25 Sep, 2022 @ 7:37am 
Uh anyways, Reimu fun.
D YellowMadness 25 Sep, 2022 @ 1:40am 
@Renecup: Yes, that's why I liked it when the portrait looked like Reimu.
Renecup 24 Sep, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
sir this is just a reimu
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 9:24pm 
Regardless, it's a nice surprise that we can come to an understanding considering this is an argument on the internet about Touhou sexualization. Civility wasn't the expected conclusion.
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 9:23pm 
That portrait actually just has a white line at the bottom of the shirt but I can see how that mistake could be made. I wasn't saying midriff is inherently sexual. Just that adding it to a character who doesn't have it when there's no reason they would is. I actually use midriff on some of my OCs in games because it's in character for them & I don't on others because it's not.

I meant to include "I don't care." in that one part of my post but I think I lost that part of my message when I was condensing it to get around the text limit on Steam. Sorry about that. In the context of my post, I feel like that part accidentally came off as me calling you a pervert even though as I mentioned in my previous post, there are nonsexual reasons that could've made it into the portrait considering using other fan art as a reference is a common thing.
LilMissMasq  [author] 22 Sep, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
But outside of that, yes its just popular in fan material. A lot of figures depict her with a midriff, and even the touhou fanime does. Its not like I shy away from taking pieces of fan material from the mod to begin with, considering I gave her a move from a fangame anyway. The mod was always intended to be my love letter to the touhou franchise and including some pieces of popular fan material I believe is a great thing to include in it.

So once again, I apologize for my rudeness, I was just very taken back by that statement, plus its midnight where I am so being slightly tired doesnt help much, haha.
LilMissMasq  [author] 22 Sep, 2022 @ 9:01pm 
Look, I'm sorry for coming off as overly aggressive, I'm just tired of getting flak for changing the portrait when I had my own personal reasons for that decision, that weren't just "I like this one more."

I'm also just kind of appalled at the statement that a midriff is inherently sexual though, her portrait aside. Women can wear a tank top or whatever if they really want to without it being an attempt to gain sex appeal. You're saying Touhou fans admit it is a sexually driven decision to depict her like that, but I'm pretty sure I could ask just as many people about it and they would say it isn't, so no disrespect to you, but I'm not sure if that statement has too much validity behind it.

If you want some instances of "canon" depictions where she could have a midriff though, her TH18 portrait might have one (though it could also be an undershirt of some kind), but I'm almost certain she at least has a little belly showing in her TH17.5 portrait.
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 7:57pm 
I literally can't find even one instance of her having midriff in canon. Not even the one I mentioned earlier that someone once told me someone else told them existed in one very old game. I don't think your sources exist.

Though, it was unfair of me to say it was drawn that way for sexual reasons since it's possible you just asked Regina to draw Reimu, she looked it up, & she found fanart of her with a big midriff & she based her work off of that. Probably an easy mistake to make considering it's about as overdone as giving Sans a fur coat.
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 7:50pm 
She doesn't have it in like any of ZUN's games or in this mod & I know you know that because your mod shows that you know more than the bare minimum about her. Even Touhou fans admit the midriff is a sexual thing invented by fans.

I don't know why you're so defensive about something you didn't draw. It's not like I insulted you or tried to make you change it. I just explained why it's strangely unfitting.

I even said it's a 10/10 mod otherwise. The portrait doesn't ruin it for me. It just bugs me when I see it because of the midriff & because the character herself bears no resemblance to Reimu so the combination looks like a bad cosplay. I still use her but I end my videos slightly earlier than I used to so the portrait won't show up.

Regina Reforged is a good artist. I've seen other characters & portraits by her. But this specific picture is bad for this specific mod. If you really thought I was wrong, you would've just said something like "Yeah, but I like it."
LilMissMasq  [author] 22 Sep, 2022 @ 6:41pm 
There are several sources where you can see she has it. Im not going to have it changed because, frankly, I just dont care enough. If you think its sexual, that's your own problem, I'm sorry.
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
I'd agree that it's minor if it were a small gap instead of a huge one in the shrine maiden themed outfit of a character who doesn't normally have a gap there at all. Like if for example, it were a character with a tank top & the tank top were just slightly shorter than usual. This is more like putting a crop top on a football player. But if that football player was a child.

@NoArms: What?
Caradog 22 Sep, 2022 @ 5:15pm 
hello Cromwell, didn't know you were still up and about after all these years. Would you mind doing us a favour and dethroning the royals again? ta.
LilMissMasq  [author] 22 Sep, 2022 @ 5:12pm 
Its not an attempt to give her sex appeal?? To be honest I didn't even realize she had a midriff at first, but I don't think I'd ask the artist to change the portrait over it, its a minor inconsistency that really doesn't matter that much.
D YellowMadness 22 Sep, 2022 @ 12:29pm 
I can potentially understand changing artists but why midriff? It doesn't fit the character or even match up with the in-game sprites? I'm aware that she apparently had a midriff in like one game a long time ago that took place in Summer but that's like having Link's portrait be him wearing the outfit he used to sneak into the Gerudo place in BOTW.

It just seems like an attempt at sex appeal, which just makes Reimu seem like a porn character or this seem like a porn mod if you haven't played played Touhou or haven't play this mod. Which is a shame because she's not, it's not, & the fandom has a bad tendency to make Touhou seem like porn with their misrepresentations of the characters.

Not that a midriff is super lewd but when it's so out of place, it stands out in a bad way & it makes it super obvious why it's there. It's like if a character known for wearing huge boots was barefoot for no reason. We'd all know why & it would be weird.

10/10 mod otherwise.
Milk 17 Sep, 2022 @ 9:08am 
ok I understand sorry for saying that
LilMissMasq  [author] 17 Sep, 2022 @ 8:40am 
I understand people might have liked the older, ZUN-styled portrait, but I had my own reasons for not wanting that person's work in my mod anymore. I hope you can understand.

I'm going to miss the classic ZUN styled portrait
The Righteous Bison Man 22 Feb, 2022 @ 12:58am 
Honestly one of my favorite workshop characters
LilMissMasq  [author] 19 Feb, 2022 @ 3:54pm 
I think her frame data is pretty much perfect as is, its meant to be on the slower side cause of her excellent mobility.

Down B will explode a bit more if you hit it with yin-yang though!
teenytective 18 Feb, 2022 @ 4:01pm 
Hey, great mod! Reimu's become a fast favorite of mine! My only notes are that I think her neutral B should do a bit more damage, her Down-B should travel a LITTLE further than it current does, and I think her normals and aerials could almost all do with a few less frames on them to make them a little faster!
D YellowMadness 16 Feb, 2022 @ 6:57pm 
The game crashes if Reimu tries to use a move effected by a homing rune.
atosaizo 11 Feb, 2022 @ 10:42am 
Reimu's Alt Color 10 crashes the game when I try to select it.
Bea 25 Dec, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
she works fine in normal game play so it doesn't matter all that much anyway
LilMissMasq  [author] 23 Dec, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
I dont think theres a way to fix that, just use the standard training mode with her for now
Bea 22 Dec, 2021 @ 7:50pm 
ik im way late but alot of charicters break in training mode in the MAIN MENU > EXTRAS > STEAM WORKSHOP testing menu, it happens with alot of charicters with projectiles

the homing yin-yang orb crashes game when used
LilMissMasq  [author] 24 Sep, 2021 @ 11:41am 
I can try to do a bit of cleanup and also probably upgrade her munophone
Makoto 23 Sep, 2021 @ 7:09pm 
It is my computer, I'm more than enough positive, but even characters that are sfx heavy aren't that bad, I tested on training and haven't on a real match because I'm testing a lot of character in a row
LilMissMasq  [author] 23 Sep, 2021 @ 7:05pm 
@Makoto Are you positive its not your computer?
Makoto 23 Sep, 2021 @ 6:22pm 
can you do a light version of it? for some reason the fps go bellow 10
