As of right now we have 24 playable characters planned for the game. This includes characters from both the official fighters, as well as characters that have yet to make an appearance in any of the official fighters. This list is subject to change at any time.Returning Characters (from IaMP/SWR/Soku):Alice MargatroidCirnoHong MeilingKomachi OnozukaMarisa KirisamePatchouli KnowledgeReisen Udongein InabaRemilia ScarletSakuya IzayoiSanae KochiyaSuika IbukiReimu HakureiUtsuho ReiujiYoumu KonpakuYukari YakumoYuyuko SaigyoujiReturning Characters (from HM/ULiL):Byakuren HijiriFujiwara no MokouIchirin KumoiKoishi KomeijiMamizou FutatsuiwaNewcomers (not from IaMP/SWR/Soku/HM/ULiL):ChenEirin YagokoroFlandre ScarletKanako YasakaKoakumaLie MeilingMeimuMimaYuuka KazamiNPC Boss Characters:Meimu (Arcade mode final boss)Suggestions for roster additions are welcome subject to the following criteria:Must have a decent amount of sprites and be in Tasofro-ish style (specifically IaMP/SWR/Soku)Must have an existing, workable set of spritesNo edits, palette swaps, or third party characters (rare exceptions will be made from time to time and will be kept at a minimum)
Not enough sprites for Lyrica I'm afraid. That and Minoo's touhou sprites are a pain to work with (as I experienced with Hina and Yuugi)
Hi yes please consider Momiji.I don't know anything about Yorihime so I'm curious as to what makes her a boss character.
Momiji and Cirno are definite possibilities.@ArtistofLegacy: She essentially has the ability to invoke the power of the lunarian gods and channel it through her body, where she was capable of single-handedly defeating Reimu, Marisa, Remilia, and Sakuya all at once. She's canonically the most powerful character in the series according to Zun, to the point where he says he would never include her in any of the games for that very reason. If anyone deserves to be a boss character in THRP, it's her.
Went ahead and trimmed the roster a bit to only include characters that are in the game so far plus the three characters already planned (Sanae, Cirno, and Reisen). As far as possible new additions to the roster, we're currently looking at the following; Miko HakureiReimu's noncanon predecessor. She'll be a completely defensive turtling/technical character, waiting for openings in the opponent and punish them accordingly with an array of counters and hard hitting melee attacks. MimaEveryone's favorite PC98 character forgotten after 10 main series games. She'll mostly focus on zoning and aerial combat with a flight mechanic to aid her in this endeavor. Aya ShameimaruGensokyo's own news reporter. The third charge character of the roster, Aya's speedy maneuverability will keep opponents at bay. Youmu KonpakuThe half-ghost gardener and last of the main protagonists to be added to the THRP roster. A speedy melee rushdown character with no projectiles, but dangerous when up close.
I got to vote for Keemsta-... I mean Aya... Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyWhy no sans kappa best touhou char
So I see you've decided to hold a referendum and given the people a democratic vote on the issue; well, let's just say that I have discounted Aya and Miko, which just so happens to leave me two choices, so who do I pick out of those who remain?But in all seriousness, I'm really divided over which of these two to pick, as both Youmu and Mima have highly interesting gameplay; Mima's flight mechanic would be unique amongst the THRP roster, but at the same time, THRP doesn't have an 'anime' swordfighter yet (the opposite problem to a certain other fighting game). In the end though, I have to cast my vote for Mima, because as much as it would be nice to see Youmu, Mima is probably going to be the last of your older characters to see the light of day any time soon, so it would seem logical to get her converted over first rather than starting on something new, heck, ZUN might announce Mima's return to Touhou canon if she wins this poll (and what a well-timed coincidence that would be).In the end, it ended up being 52% Mima and 48% Youmu for me, so I would still be happy to see Youmu win; let's just hope that, whatever the outcome of the vote, nobody will resign afterwards.
So going to toss in 2 (3) more to the potential candidates for the roster. While looking for possible reps for the more recent Touhou games (namely Ten Desires, Double Dealing Character, and Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom), I figured these might fill in for the absense of characters like Miko and Shinmyoumaru (and Clownpiece for the Ameriboos); Kagerou ImaizumiThe "lonesome werewolf" from Double Dealing Character. She'll be taking lots of influence from Talbain/Gallon for reasons that should be pretty obvious. Seiga Kaku (& Yoshika Miyako)The wicked hermit and her zombie "slave" from Ten Desires. The idea from this actually derives from a Ran & Chen character I was working on a while back, which would focus on a kind of "Master-Slave" type character similar to Carl Clover from Blazblue or even Rosalina & Luma. I always wanted to give it another shot, but felt that these two would be more fitting than Ran & Chen.
Not at this time.While I haven't based this strictly on the poll that was posted earlier, Youmu will be the next character in line to join THRP's roster.As a bonus, this may be unprecidented, but we have a second newcomer as well, someone that people have been asking me about ever since Flandre was added;So yeah, Youmu and Remilia will be joining in the near future.
So now that the vampire, gardener, and werewolf have been confirmed, I think it's time to review the remaining options we have, including a few new faces. Miko HakureiReimu's noncanon predecessor. She'll be a completely defensive turtling/technical character, waiting for openings in the opponent and punish them accordingly with an array of counters and hard hitting melee attacks. MimaEveryone's favorite PC98 character forgotten after 10 main series games. She'll mostly focus on zoning and aerial combat with a flight mechanic to aid her in this endeavor. Aya ShameimaruGensokyo's own news reporter. The third charge character of the roster, Aya's speedy maneuverability will keep opponents at bay. Seiga Kaku (& Yoshika Miyako)The wicked hermit and her zombie "slave" from Ten Desires. The idea from this actually derives from a Ran & Chen character I was working on a while back, which would focus on a kind of "Master-Slave" type character similar to Carl Clover from Blazblue or even Rosalina & Luma. I always wanted to give it another shot, but felt that these two would be more fitting than Ran & Chen. Suika IbukiThe drunk oni who made her debut as the final boss of Immaterial & Missing Power. While Yuuka may embody the slow bulky grappler archtype, Suika is a bit on the brawler side, with her own arsenal of command grabs at her disposal. Of course, who can forget about her trademark Missing Purple Power spellcard?In Hisoutensoku, Suwako got to see some action. In THRP, Kanako gets that liberty, leaving poor froggy in the dust. Suwako's return would complete the Moriya trio, along with her awkward movement, pressure game, and strange ability to stand while crouching and crouch while standing, if that even makes sense. She's a wierd one for a goddess isn't she? Will Soku's bottom tier character get to shine for once?Ichirin Kumoi (& Unzan)The stylish girl and her JoJo stand nyuudou partner arrive on the scene. Like in HM and ULiL, the two will essentially be a heavy hitting brawler archtype. While Ichirin did have a sort of rage mechanic in HM, this was lost in ULiL. This time around, she'll have a much more fitting unique mechanic involving Unzan, one that might even elevate her to the level of a true "Stardust Crusader".
ComboAssassin20 said, October 10, 2016, 05:53:55 pmwho was the other mysterious character?I think it's fairly obvious...Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyIT'S PIKACHU!Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyBut no, seriously, it's Mima.
I would like to see Keine Kamishirasawa where she can transform into her hakutaku form with a super move.
Not to speak on his behalf, but it's with noting that Rice has previously expressed his disliking towards Minoo's sprites due to how difficult they are to work with, and as far as I'm aware, those are the only sprites for Keine (and by extension, EX Keine).Transformation Hypers don't really work very well in MUGEN due to how the engine handles custom states.
i know, but still. Thanks for the explanation thoughMy vote is on Ichirin Kumoi and Seiga Kaku/Yoshika Miyako, by the way.
So people have been asking me about a new final boss for THRP's offline mode story mode. I do have someone planned, and I won't spoil any details, but I will say these:1.) The final boss is a female2.) The final boss has a connection to Reimu3.) The final boss is not Yukari, Lie Meiling, Miko Hakurei, Mima, or Yorihime

Well Seiga and Kagerou didn't work out as I originally intended. Maybe they'll be revisited in the future, but for now its time to announce the latest newcomer to the roster;Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyJojokes incoming
There's what, six EoSD characters? Seven if you include Lie. I think at this point it's whichever characters can be given unique playstyles.
We all knew there was going to be another charge character eventually... Of course, it seems that Ran and Yukari have been losing sight of Chen from time to time, or have they? Can Chen stand her ground without her mistresses to assist her?

I think at this point it's whichever characters can be given unique playstyles.I'm late, but it's more who has Tasofro styled sprites available that aren't made by minoo and don't give too many issues. The unique playstyle part matters too, but having a playstyle in mind for a character means nothing if there aren't sprites available to use for it.

Also Mima's long overdue, so we probably won't be seeing Mamizou's poofy tail until after she makes the cut.
This wasn't planned on, but Koakuma will be joining the fray. This is a new milestone as we have a newcomer to the game, not only in the sense of a new character, but that Midori Margatroid is joining the dev team to bring her to Gensokyo Reloaded.
Cool. It's great to see new characters being made into Gensokyo Reloaded. I can't wait to see how she will play like. Congrats on Midori Margatroid on joining the team.
Good to see a character that was once considered for the roster, then disregarded, finally resurface again.
Just realized I haven't posted anything here in a while so might as well make it official:Mamizou and Suika are confirmed as the next batch of playable characters. Mamizou will most likely be added in version 2.5, with Suika in 2.6. You can already view Mamizou's development progress in this thread.Also worth noting is the (re)addition to Meimu to the game. She'll be added alongside Suika in the 2.6 update as the game's new final boss of arcade mode, with a playable version becoming available in the 2.7 update.
Kagome kagome, the bird in the cage, when, oh when will it come out? In the night of dawn, the crane and turtle slipped. Who is joining the roster now?
