Only Erika and Rouga are playable, but at least it’s something. They’re clearly still working on… well… everything. It still doesn’t have boosting… music… voices… a title screen. Hell, throws aren’t even distance sensitive yet. Tap 4/6 C and a throw’s coming out. They’re also apparently completely reworking the movesets along with the engine. Rouga’s still got his anti-air grab, but his delay mine is now a shockwave. Both appear to have only one super at the moment too. Eri is unfortunately a little bit more of a joke than I was expecting. Stupid Shorko and body flop specials… Sigh. Thanks Setra for the head’s up. You can grab it here. Edit: Looking through the sprites, there are a ton of moves that are seemingly not implemented yet, as well as sprites for win/lose/intro/etc. Hmm.
In what may just be the most fortuitous guess in the history of guessing, Cyber Botti, the longtime makers of the Battle Fantasia series of magical girl SRW parodies has announced that their newest animation short for the upcoming Comiket is going to be titled Ice Fairy vs Shrine Maiden about well… it should be obvious. A shame that Aquastyle isn’t also making more, but they seem to be going all-in with their Touhou roguelike with a ‘prologue’ or expansion or… who knows really. It does look pretty. And just to annoy Fettgans, Orange Juice posted the new PV for Sora above. It’s looking… remarkably familiar…
