There are 3 things wrong with this screenie. Can you guess what they are?

• Her jumping jab doesn't have ANY knockback, but it does juggle a little. This, plus the fact that it chains into itself, results in impractical but lulzy 180+ hit combos consisting entirely of a launcher (and she has two) and her air jab. If I had a turbo button, I could probably get it to double that, but as it is, I'm not too keen on destroying my keyboard.
• her gameplay doesn't feel like it's anything. It's not rushdown, it's not zoning, it's not even a well rounded thing, it's certainly not grappling. She doesn't feel like a character whose moves are in place
• The original Saki is a guile type charge character, with a projectile and a rising air. Millia was a rushdown character with plenty of tools to keep some pressure at distance. This is a half assed attempt at the latter. I'm really not impressed.

And I'm having a hard time deciding how I should react to what happens when you win the match by KO.

Any info about this Wriggle?

I second this.

Are Kurogane's old Touhou conversions still online anywhere?

• While I'm fairly certain it happened in SFIII, Shin Shoryuken, if it should hit a sweep, will put the opponent in the custom state, but they won't get hit (since they're too far away). This results in odd things. Mostly weird, and not bad, though.
• Actually bad: Not sure what's up with this, but the basic meterless combo I've been using (c.lp, c.hp, j.lk, j.hk, j.qcb+hk) causes chun-li to move forward during the air tatsu. It happens on rare occasion with superman as well, but it's inconsistent. It's slightly odd to see them appear to stall in midair during a combo. EDIT: If you do the air tatsu slightly late, you can get her to cross over you with this.
• Garret's reload system is whacked out. The glitch from SHaDES 2 where he would randomly start rounds without ammo is still there. Further, it's impossible to reload into the shotgun shells from anything but a full weapon. Attempting to do so will first reload with bullets, and only then will it load shells. Offhand, I'd guess that's on account of the shotgun shell command overlapping with the command for loading bullets. I'll need to check, but it may be looking at D+Z and seeing that there's a Z being input, so it loads the bullets, and then gets to the shotgun shell command, and ignores it because it's already loading bullets.

• You can see an OTG towards the end, with Marisa's combo. It looks like it's more a Touhou take on Astra Superstars, where you can "jump" down as well as up.
• The three stars next to Marisa's gauge on the bottom were filled at points, so they are important. Can't say the same for Reimu's Yin-yang orbs.
• The gauges themselves seem to be a spirit bar ala IaMP. It's a little different, but it's hard to tell how from a minute and a half video.
• The spellcard is a cast from meter limited by health. Not sure on the mechanics relating to it, perhaps it's based partially on the popularity poll or whatever?

Also, I was going to talk to JeanBureau and see if it was okay to remove the foreground foliage completely, but he may have quit Mugen or something. His profile has no avatar/sig and just says "Ciao." He was working on at least 2 more stages for me as well.
