I really don't understand the dislike for Sakuya vs Hit.

Like, are we trying to find some deep, thematic opponent for Sakuya to go against? From what I've seen so far, Touhou is pretty lax in terms of story and character conflict, so I don't think you're going to find someone for Sakuya to bounce off of personality wise. Likewise goes for Hit, unless his universe is in danger or something like that. This match is just an excuse to watch two time-stoppers do some cool shit, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Plus, have you guys played FighterZ? Hit's moveset is sick as ****. I want to see a spot where they both keep trying to appear behind the other's back and pull a "nothing personal, kid" move, only for the other to appear behind their back and try the same thing.

EDIT* Um, if I'm wrong in my reading of Touhou, feel free to call me a faker.

Just because it's lacking in the story department doesn't mean that you cannot make a MU for Sakuya that touches upon her character, hell, I did this two times
Hit absolutely doesn't touch upon anything Sakuya has beyond time and while Hit's moveset is somewhat cool indeed, I don't think it would work that well with Sakuya, because he is primarily a hand to hand fighter, while Sakuya is a character who primarily has a ranged moveset (I know she can still do things like kick her opponents and Hit has his ki blast but still Hit's usual fighting style is getting close to his opponent and paralyzing them, while Sakuya's usual fighting style is throwing a shit ton of knives).
Also that moment where they appear behind each other arguably wouldn't happen because Sakuya would most likely resist Hit's timeskip.

Eh if Dio who's primarily HTH can play off Sakuya I can't see why Hit who offers more can't do so it's execution at the end of the day when it comes to certain fights like this

I assume it's because Hit's gimmick is killing people in one hit by crushing their organs. The Sakuya vs Dio OMM wouldn't have worked nearly as well if Dio crushed her heart within 5 seconds.

Fair enough point but you can have her avoid it via using one of her abilities(does she has some form pre cog) or not have hit start off with it near immediately
Click to expand...
Sakuya doesn't have precog but she has pretty good enhanced senses, and other shit to keep Hit at a distance like temporal clones, spatial manipulation, or many different means of time manipulation. So it's not unworkable IMO, I just think it needs to be treated as a one stroke duel.

What’s with the mountains upon mountains of Touhou art
Click to expand...
It’s basically the face of the doujin genre, is a mega huge franchise in the East (and Hispanic territories, for some reason), and the lax rules for fan content allow a doujin scene to blossom to absurd heights and even allow artists to profit off of their art. Not to mention it has consistent content, a variety of characters, the games & manga are all pretty good and the characters are all very enjoyable, it leads to a shitload of art.

to me its like this
its understandable to want more for ya character then just be in a MU that just reduced them to X and its fair to mention Hit and Sakuya ain't anything to flex with in that department

being said this Mu it really just click to me given the set up of an alien hitman going down to some mansion. to try and kill some maid sound lke something AT would write and Touhou and i like Dragon Ball facing various new franchises then just being stuck fighting Marvel and Dc for the most part



this fanmade video of it got me liking this Mu and shows how you can make it work

The fight honestly has a perfect setup in Hit being sent to kill Remilia, with Sakuya stepping in to defend her. Works in both their roles perfectly and gives all the reasoning necessary for a fight to the death.

That just turns into a boring-ass fight where Sakuya is here doing all of the cool shit, while Hit dodges and tries to punch her, and also fires like three ki blasts

Why this sounds so much like Archie Knuckles vs Juggernaut

TBH who would not accuse Astro Plan for copying designs of Macross? Just look at the mecha design

Could you tell me the connection between

I feel that Knuckles' oh no can be brought again. Also, we have Broly VS Hulk which has similar situation.

Marcy Wu VS Wu Cheng'en (Wu Cheng'en and Journey to the West) is definitely a matchup which has decent connection but extremely lack animation potential. (It is a huge stomp in Marcy's favor and the latter seriously lacks arsenals)

Wu Cheng'en: I believe that I would win because Journey to the West is much more famous than Amphibia.

I can confidently say that it is easy to find Touhou 3D model, but it is hard to choose which one should be used.

While the Touhou fan content has been badly affected (and caused some controversy) recently (ZUNteam is mainly accused of), it is safe to say that Touhou Project's rule for fan content are still generally lax.

I don't know what Hit does, I don't watch dragon ball and that video isn't intuitive on his abilities at all. What is he doing when he turned Sakuya purple??? Why does he shoot beams from his fists????

Not my ideal Yhwach or Father Match but this is probably my 2nd favorite for each now.
